Portable mandibular protrusion locator

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable mandibular protrusion locator, and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments. The locator comprises a first clamping groove, a second clamping groove, a regulation device, a stepper motor, a location controller and handheld control equipment, wherein the regulation device comprises a grooved fixed block, a sliding block and a lead screw; the location controller comprises a location Bluetooth module and a location control module; the handheld control equipment comprises a handheld display input module, a handheld CPU (central processing unit) control module and a handheld Bluetooth module. The locator is not required to be worn when a patient sleeps during positioning, and can be independently removed after regulation, so that convenience and comfort are ensured; the mandibular protrusion distance accurate to a specific numerical value can be independently determined according to the subjective feeling of the patient and monitoring data, so that the most proper personalized protrusion position can be provided when an OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome) patient receives treatment with mandibular protrusion snore-ceasing equipment, and a treatment effect can be improved; the mandibular protrusion position of the OSAHS patient can also be predetermined, so that blindness of clinical manufacturing of the mandibular protrusion snore-ceasing equipment is avoided, and the locator is easy to popularize and use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical appliances, and relates to a portable mandibular protruding positioner, in particular to a mandibular protruding positioning auxiliary device for treating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS). Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopneasy syndrome (OSAHS) refers to apnea and hypoventilation caused by upper airway collapse and obstruction during sleep, accompanied by snoring, sleep structure disorder, and frequent drops in blood oxygen saturation , Daytime sleepiness and other symptoms. Mandibular extension anti-snoring device is considered as the first choice for patients with mild to moderate OSAHS. Its treatment mechanism is to change the positional relationship of the mandible, tongue, soft palate, and palate by protruding the mandible, and at the same time increase the tension of the tongue muscles to achieve the purpose of opening and stabilizing the upper airway.
