Traditional medical waist belts often use metal sheets and elastic fabrics, leading to discomfort and inadequate support. The rigid metal can cause friction and irritation, while elastic bands fail to provide sufficient lumbar support and do not fit the spine’s natural curve well. This results in poor user experience and limited effectiveness in alleviating back pain or providing stability.
Core Features
The inflatable waist belt is designed with air cushion assemblies that can be adjusted for personalized comfort and support. It features:
1. Dual Air Cushion System: A rear air cushion assembly for lumbar support and a side air cushion assembly to stabilize the waist.
2. Inflation and Deflation Mechanism: Allows easy adjustment of firmness and thickness to suit individual needs.
3. Reinforcing Support Members: Lightweight and arc-shaped to match the natural spine curvature without causing discomfort.
4. Massage and Therapy Options: Integrated massage, magnetic therapy, and heat therapy functions to enhance comfort and stimulate blood circulation.
5. Skin-Friendly Fabric: Ensures comfort during prolonged use.
Inventive Step
Unlike traditional belts that use rigid metal, this belt uses flexible air cushions and arc-shaped support members to contour the spine. The innovative dual inflation system allows independent adjustment of support strength at the rear and sides, enhancing comfort and stability. Additionally, the integration of therapeutic functions such as massage and heat sets it apart from conventional designs.
