Multifunctional oral cavity cleaner for patients with dysphagia

Abstract

The multifunctional oral cavity cleaner comprises a handle and a cleaning assembly, the cleaning assembly comprises a cleaning shaft rotating around the axis of the cleaning assembly, a plurality of flexible cleaning strips are distributed on the cleaning shaft in the circumferential direction of the cleaning shaft, and the multifunctional oral cavity cleaner further comprises a flushing channel and a negative pressure channel; the liquid inlet end of the flushing channel and the air exhaust end of the negative pressure channel are arranged on the handle, and the liquid outlet end of the flushing channel and the suction end of the negative pressure channel face the cleaning strip and are arranged in two adjacent quadrants with the circle center of the cross section of the cleaning shaft as the center respectively. According to the multifunctional oral cavity cleaner used by the dysphagia patient, flushing fluid flowing out of the flushing channel and fluid such as saliva and flushing fluid before entering the negative pressure channel act on the cleaning strip, so that the cleaning strip rotates while being humidified so as to enhance the cleaning effect on thick and greasy tongue coating of the patient, and meanwhile, the rotating cleaning strip can exercise tongue muscles of the patient; the tongue muscle disuse atrophy syndrome is prevented, and the operation is more convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a multifunctional oral cleaner used by patients with dysphagia. Background technique [0002] Dysphagia is a common multidisciplinary clinical symptom. It is more common in patients with neurosurgery and intensive care units such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and traumatic brain injury. Its incidence rate is as high as 21% to 80%, which can easily lead to aspiration and aspiration pneumonia. , aggravating the severity of the disease, prolonging the hospitalization time of patients, increasing the fatality rate, and bringing a serious burden to the family and society. Aspiration of patients is mainly due to inhalation of saliva and gastric reflux material containing a large number of bacteria in the oral cavity. Every 1ml of saliva contains tens of thousands of bacteria, resulting in severe adsorption pneumonia. Therefore, effective oral hygiene is particul...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned oral cavity cleaning device is in use, the nursing staff needs to manually move the cleaning ball to make the cleaning ring and the tongue coating move relatively, so as to realize the cleaning of the tongue coating. Because the patient's tongue coating surface is dry and the movement resistance is large, it is inconvenient to operate; The side surface of the ball is equipped with a flushing nozzle and a pumping ball, which increases the size of the end of the device and reduces the range of activities of the cleaning ball, flushing nozzle and pumping ball in the oral cavity, making the effect of cleaning and negative pressure suction extremely limited. During the process, the nurse needs to adjust the position of the device to ensure that the flushing nozzle can flush and clean the thick and greasy tongue coating and the pumping ball can take away the impurities and dirt washed away, which makes the operation extremely inconvenient and time-consuming.
