Problems solved by technology

However, the device is inserted from the mouth, and its own structure is relatively large, which causes great discomfort to the patient, and the foreign body sensation is heavy, which affects the sleep quality of the patient.
[0004] Publication No. CN107811727A discloses a recyclable heart stent, which uses an elastically stretchable elastic mesh bag, which is implanted in the blood vessel to play a supporting role. Combined with the heating device, it cannot be directly used for airway expansion in application

Embodiment 1

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a genioglossus expansion stent for improving the airway of hypopnea breathing, which is mainly used for patients with sleep apnea syndrome during sleep. Usually, during the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, the normal breathing volume has dropped by 15%. % should belong to the severe range. Under normal circumstances, it will be treated by surgical trauma surgery. However, the complications of trauma surgery have certain risks and are not suitable for all patients. However, this expansion stent is used as an external auxiliary treatment and a tool for preventing obstruction. Surgery is suitable for almost all patients.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, this embodiment includes a casing 1, a central tube 2, a support body 3, and several support arms 4. The casing 1 and the central tube 2 are made of medical-grade flexible materials, which require good guiding, non-toxic, and harmless , but t...

Embodiment 2

[0048] Such as Figure 7-8 As shown, this embodiment provides yet another genioglossus expansion stent for improving the airway of hypopnea breathing. The arc structure not greater than 180° can be an elastic net structure or a sheet structure.

[0049] The quantity of support body 3 is equal to support arm 4, and the quantity of present embodiment support arm 4 and support body 3 is two, and support arm 4 is connected with support body 3 one by one, and one end of support arm 4 is connected to sleeve pipe 1, The end of the central tube 2 and the other end are connected to the inner wall of the support body 3, which is in a symmetrical form. Both ends of the bracket body 3 in the arc direction are rounded to avoid sharp corners from injuring the respiratory wall.

[0050] Specifically, the stent body 3 is an arc-shaped structure in two separate forms. The two arc-shaped stent bodies 3 form a ring shape when they are shrunk and combined. into the respiratory tract. The maxi...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary instruments, and particularly relates to a chin-tongue muscle expanding support for improving a hypopnea respiratory tract. The expanding support is applied to chin-tongue muscle supporting and comprises a sleeve, a central tube and a support body, wherein the central tube penetrates through and is sleeved with the sleeve, and the support body is connected to the end of the sleeve; and a plurality of supporting arms are arranged between the sleeve and the support body and are of a foldable structure, one end of each supporting arm is connected with the sleeve and the central tube, and the other end of each supporting arm is connected with the support body. When the expanding support is contracted, the supporting arms are folded, and the support body is folded at the end of the sleeve; and when the expanding support is expanded, the sleeve pushes the supporting arms to be opened, and then the support body is expanded. The chin-tongue muscle expanding support is relatively small in size, can enter the respiratory tract of the human body from the oral cavity or the nasal cavity, is flexibly expanded in the respiratory tract, supports the chin-tongue muscle at the root of the tongue, prevents the chin-tongue muscle from drooping and blocking the respiratory tract when a patient lies flat, effectively relieves the suffocation phenomenon when the patient with the hypopnea symptom lies flat and sleeps, and basically achieves the purpose of being free of trauma compared with operative treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical aids, and more specifically, to a genioglossus expansion stent for improving hypoventilation respiratory airway. Background technique [0002] Dyspnea is a common symptom. In the middle stage of the onset of the novel coronavirus, there will be obvious dyspnea. Often there will be a feeling of hypoxia in breathing and the inability to breathe normally. A ventilator or other auxiliary equipment is needed to promote ventilation. In addition, sleep apnea syndrome can also cause dyspnea. When sleeping in a supine position, the whole body muscles of patients with sleep apnea syndrome will relax. Apnea due to the respiratory tract. The high-risk groups include those who are obese, have narrowed airway structure, aged muscle relaxation, tonsil hyperplasia, short jaw, or people who smoke for a long time and cause airway edema. In severe cases, the throat will be blocked when sleeping, so that they cannot ...
