Embodiment 1

[0087] Embodiment 1: Push rod type adjustable soft palate support body of the present invention

[0088]According to the technical proposal of the present invention, medical-grade titanium and medical titanium alloys that can be implanted in the human body for a long time are selected, and the product of the present invention is manufactured according to the general processing technology of titanium metal products.

[0089] refer to Figure 8 to Figure 9 , the basic structure of the push rod type adjustable soft palate support body of the present invention is as follows:

[0090] The supporting body (2) adopts a titanium metal plate with a thickness of 0.6 mm to 1 mm, and bends the titanium metal plate so that it has a radian matching the natural curvature of the soft palate when the human body is relaxed, and processes tiny through holes on the titanium metal plate (21), the diameter of the tiny through hole (21) is between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, which is convenient for tissue gro...

Embodiment 2

[0100] Embodiment 2: Double-button adjustable soft palate support body of the present invention

[0101] According to the technical scheme of the present invention, the medical metal material that can be implanted in the human body for a long time is selected, and the product of the present invention is manufactured according to the general processing technology of medical metal products.

[0102] refer to Figure 10 to Figure 11 , the basic structure of the double-button adjustable soft palate support body of the present invention is as follows:

[0103] The support body (2) adopts a titanium-nickel shape memory alloy plate with a thickness of 0.6 mm to 1 mm. Through heat treatment for shaping, the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy plate has a radian that matches the natural curvature of the soft palate when the human body is relaxed. Embossed or rough surfaces (22) are made on the surface to facilitate tissue growth and attachment.

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable soft palate supporting body and an implantation method thereof. The soft palate supporting body is a flat implant made of a material capable of being implanted into a human body for a long time, and consists of a hard palate connecting end and a supporting body, wherein the supporting body is a flat implant which can be inserted into the soft palate; the supporting body is connected to the hard palate connecting end; a connecting structure connected with the hard palate and an adjusting mechanism are arranged at the hard palate connecting end; the connecting structure arranged at the hard palate connecting end is used for fixing the supporting body on the hard palate; and the adjusting mechanism arranged on the hard palate connecting end controls the motion state or bending curvature of the supporting body or the soft palate lifting degree. The adjusting mechanism is positioned in an open state under a wakeful state, and the supporting body implanted into the soft palate can move along the natural swing of the soft palate; and before a sleep state, the adjusting mechanism is positioned in a closed state, the supporting body can lift the soft palate, the pharyngeal airway is enlarged, and the aim of treating snore and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is fulfilled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an adjustable soft palate support body, in particular to an adjustable soft palate support body for treating adult obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and snoring and its implantation method. Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea / hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-disordered breathing disorder characterized by snoring and apnea, which is caused by the collapse and blockage of the upper airway during sleep. disease. Even according to the lowest diagnostic standard, the prevalence of OSAHS is about 4% in adult males and about 2% in females, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients. [0003] For the pathogenesis of OSAHS, it is generally believed that the main reason is soft tissue collapse and obstruction due to the relaxation of the pharyngeal expander muscles that maintain the upper airway open during sleep, and the obstruction planes are mostly located in the soft palate, tons...
