Individualized 3D printed CP (clefts of palate) auxiliary feeding plate and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an individualized 3D printed CP (clefts of palate) auxiliary feeding plate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises steps as follows: S(1): acquiring digital model information; S(2): performing visualized design on the auxiliary feeding plate; S(3): preparation of the 3D printed CP auxiliary feeding plate. The prepared CP auxiliary feeding plate solves the problem of difficulty in feeding of child patients with CP, the pressure of a nursing person is reduced, complications caused by feeding difficulty is reduced, normal growth and development ofthe child patients with the CP are facilitated, operation treatment can be completed within the best operation time, and the auxiliary feeding plate has good social benefits; and expenses caused by hospitalization of complications such as otitis media, pneumonia and the like because of improper feeding are reduced. The 3D printed CP auxiliary feeding plate is simple in structure, convenient and rapid to use, has individualized characteristics and meets feeding demands of the child patients with different kinds of CP and thus is suitable for general use of the child patients with the CP.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of 3D printing, and in particular relates to a personalized 3D printing auxiliary feeding plate for cleft lip and palate and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Clefts of palate (Clefts of palate, CP) is a common birth defect. The current treatment of cleft lip and palate is a sequence of multidisciplinary treatment, among which feeding after birth is the first step. Because the palate is cleft and the mouth and nose are connected, a complete airtight structure cannot be formed in the mouth, and the negative pressure required for sucking cannot be generated. At the same time, due to the change in the distribution and attachment of the muscles in the cleft, the development and tension of the muscles are insufficient, causing Retraction of the tongue, as well as excessive tongue development and tongue lift, prevent the child from being able to effectively wrap the pacifier while sucking.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, although there is a special feeding bottle for cleft palate, it still cannot meet the needs of children with severe cleft palate. If necessary, an indwelling gastric tube can only be used, which brings inconvenience to the family and brings a certain risk of aspiration to the child.
