Abstract

The invention provides a meibomian gland massaging device which comprises a massaging device body, a sliding block (6) and a driving mechanism, wherein the massaging device body comprises an upper clamping plate (1) and a lower clamping plate (2), the lower clamping plate (2) is provided with a gasket (22), the sliding block (6) is arranged in the massaging device body and can slide, the extruded surface of the sliding block (6) is arranged opposite to the supporting surface of the gasket (22), and the driving mechanism is connected with the sliding block (6) and drives the sliding block (6) to slide. Compared with the prior art that a doctor needs to turn the eyelid of a patient outside by one hand and massage the meibomian gland by the other hand with a cotton stick, the meibomian gland massaging device provided by the invention can be operated by one hand without turning the eyelid of the patient outside in the meibomian gland massaging process, is simple to operate, reduces the difficulty in massage of meibomian gland of the patient, and improves the safety and the effectiveness of meibomian gland massage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical device design, and more specifically relates to a meibomian gland massager.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this method, both hands of the doctor need to operate, and the operation is cumbersome, which increases the difficulty of massaging the meibomian glands

Moreover, in the above operation, the doctor rubs the meibomian glands with a sterile saline cotton swab with bare hands, and presses the patient's weak eyelid conjunctiva.
