Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an oral care device. Background technique [0002] Oral nursing is a comprehensive applied science that studies the theory and technology of oral nursing in the process of preventive health care, disease treatment and rehabilitation. There are a lot of bacteria in the mouth of a normal person, some of which are opportunistic bacteria. When the body's resistance is lowered, drinking water and food intake are reduced, chewing and tongue movements are reduced, saliva secretion is insufficient, and the self-cleaning effect is affected, the bacteria can Take the opportunity to multiply rapidly in the moist and warm mouth, causing oral inflammation, ulcers, bleeding gums and other diseases; even its toxins can pass through the blood and lymph, leading to infection of other organs, bringing harm to the health of the whole body. Therefore, good oral care is very important for pa...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, in medical institutions, wet cotton balls and sponge toothbrushes are mostly used for oral care. There is a risk of patients aspirationally sucking mouthwash in this way. Induce lower respiratory tract infection, increase patient suffering, and increase the average length of hospitalization and medical expenses of patients

[0005] In addition, there has also been a sponge toothbrush with negative pressure suction in recent years, that is, a catheter is installed on the sponge, and a through hole perpendicular to the catheter is opened on the sponge, the other end of the catheter is communicated with a water bag, and then the water bag Connected with a negative pressure suction device, through this sponge toothbrush, the patient can be irrigated with the help of an assistant, but there are differences in the strength and conformity between rinsing and negative pressure, and there is still a risk of aspiration by the patient, and , not applicable to the elderly at home

[0006] In addition, electric toothbrushes are also used to care for the patient's oral cavity. However, although electric toothbrushes have advantages in the frequency of tooth friction, their brush heads are difficult to meet the needs of hospitalized patients, especially the elderly, pregnant women and other special groups. There is a problem with back brushing and does not meet the requirements of oral care guidelines

[0007] To sum up, the nursing devices used for oral care on the market have a high risk of aspiration, and are not suitable for hospitalized patients, especially the elderly at home.
