Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of rehabilitation medicine, in particular to a support member, a mouth corner stretching device and a mouth corner stretching method. Background technique [0002] The face is a site with a high incidence of trauma. When injuries from various causes accumulate in the perioral area, due to scar hyperplasia and contracture after healing, different degrees of microstomia are often left behind. Microstomia not only affects the appearance, but also can cause difficulty in eating, ventilation and pronunciation in severe cases. The early use of mouth corner spreader against scar contracture has a definite effect in clinical treatment. The spreaders generally used in China are mostly handmade by various units, and the shape and size are relatively random, which cannot achieve a good supporting effect. And some distractors make a large amount of saliva secretion unable to swallow after the patient's mouth is stretched, and l...
