Meibomian gland cleaner

Abstract

The invention provides a meibomian gland cleaner, and relates to the technical field of medical apparatuses and instruments. The cleaner comprises a fixing clamp, a pressing piece and a fixing piece;the fixing clamp is arranged at the open end, one side of the open end can stretch into the eyelid so that the fixing clamp can be clamped to the inner and outer sides of the eyelid (the inner side isthe conjunctiva palpebrae face, and the outer side is the eyelid skin face), and the fixing piece and the fixing clamp are connected for limiting the opening degree of the open end so that the fixingpiece can abut against the two sides of the eyelid; a track opening is formed in the side, on the outer side of the eyelid, of the fixing clamp, one end of the pressing piece is provided with a pressing part matched with the track opening, the pressing part can abut against the skin on the outer side of the eyelid, and the pressing part can move relative to the path defined by the track opening so that excreta inside the meibomian gland can be extruded from the opening of the eyelid and flow out. Due to the fact that one side of the fixing clamp can fit the conjunctiva palpebrae face, no damage is caused to the conjunctiva palpebrae. In the extrusion process, the skin of the eyelid on the outer side of the eye is pressed, pain of the patient is obviously lowered, extrusion is uniform, anduse is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a meibomian gland cleaner. Background technique [0002] Meibomian gland dysfunction is very common in oily skin and the elderly, and is the main cause of evaporative dry eye. The meibomian glands are located between the eyelid skin and the conjunctiva, and secretions tend to accumulate in the meibomian glands, which can block the meibomian glands and cause meibomian gland dysfunction. [0003] The equipment for treating meibomian gland dysfunction is generally meibomian gland massage forceps. During treatment, use meibomian gland massage forceps to clean up the secretions in the meibomian glands by squeezing the meibomian glands. Meibomian gland massage tweezers include two clamping legs, one of which is inserted between the conjunctival surface of the eyelid and the eyeball during treatment until it fits with the conjunctiva (inside the eyelid), and the other clam...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] During the process of squeezing the meibomian glands with the meibomian gland massage forceps, one of the legs of the meibomian gland massage clamps is in contact with the conjunctiva and squeezes the conjunctiva, causing obvious pain to the patient; When sliding inside, it is easy to damage the palpebral conjunctiva, causing conjunctivitis and subconjunctival hemorrhage, and in severe cases, conjunctival scarring
