Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of endotracheal intubation dental pad devices, specifically to an improved endotracheal intubation dental pad. Background Technology
[0002] A bite block is an indispensable tool in endotracheal intubation. Its functions include the following four points: (1) preventing the patient from biting down on the endotracheal tube in the mouth; (2) helping to fix the endotracheal tube and prevent it from shifting in the mouth; (3) assisting in suctioning secretions from the oropharynx; and (4) assisting in inserting tubes into the oropharynx or stomach, such as gastric tubes. With the help of a bite block, endotracheal intubation can be completed more effectively.
[0003] The dental pads currently used in hospitals are made of overly hard material, resulting in a higher incidence of instrument-induced pressure injuries in patients who use dental pads for endotracheal intubation fixation. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an improved endotracheal intubation bite block, which effectively solves the problem that the bite block material in existing technologies is too hard, leading to a high incidence of instrument-induced pressure injuries in patients using bite blocks for endotracheal intubation fixation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides an improved endotracheal intubation bite block, including a bite block, wherein the middle part of the bite block is fixedly engaged with the middle part of a baffle, four sets of fasteners are fixedly fixed to the middle part of one side of the baffle, and a through groove is opened in the middle part of the baffle. Each fastener includes a tail block, a bent part and a crimping end. The two ends of the bent part are fixedly connected to the two ends of the tail block and the crimping end, respectively. One end of the tail block is fixed to the side wall of the baffle. Multiple layers of gauze are wrapped around the outside of the bite block, and the gauze is covered with a rubber sleeve on the outside of the bite block.
[0007] Furthermore, the four outer sides of the dental pad are all concave structures, forming a groove structure, and the inner sidewall of the through groove is in contact with the outer sidewall of the groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the dental pad has a hollow structure, and the outer side of the dental pad has a rounded corner structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the bent portion contacts three loops of gauze, and the pressing end is raised inward, and the bent portion has a 180° bent structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the dental pad is made of soft plastic, while the baffle and buckle are both made of rigid TPU.
[0011] Furthermore, the buckle plate has four sets of equidistant arrays arranged on one end side wall of the baffle.
[0012] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known public technology:
[0013] This invention utilizes a grooved dental pad structure. Users can securely fasten the grooved baffle structure to the dental pad, determining its exposed length. Gauze is then wrapped around the outside of the dental pad three times, and secured to the three wraps using a snap-on structure. Finally, a rubber sleeve is fitted over the snap-on structure for secondary positioning. Alternatively, the user can first secure the rubber sleeve to the outside of the three wraps of gauze for initial positioning, and then use the external snap-on structure for secondary positioning. Within the snap-on structure, the bent portion and pressing end are secured to the gauze / rubber sleeve structure. The dental pad itself is made of soft plastic. Clinical use has shown that this improved dental pad significantly reduces pressure on the lips and tongue, alleviating patient pain, reducing oral infections, and promoting recovery.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] A modified endotracheal intubation bite block, see attached. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 The device includes a dental pad 1, which is fixed in the middle of a baffle 2. Four sets of fasteners 3 are fixed in the middle of one side of the baffle 2. A through groove 21 is provided in the middle of the baffle 2. Each fastener 3 includes a tail block 31, a bent part 32 and a pressing end 33. The two ends of the bent part 32 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the tail block 31 and the pressing end 33, respectively. One end of the tail block 31 is fixed to the side wall of the baffle 2. The dental pad 1 is wrapped with multiple layers of gauze, and the gauze is covered with a rubber sleeve on the outside of the dental pad 1.
[0024] The four outer sides of the dental pad 1 are all concave structures, forming a groove 11 structure, and the inner sidewall of the through groove 21 is in contact with the outer sidewall of the groove 11.
[0025] The dental pad 1 has a hollow structure and a rounded outer corner. The bottom of the bent portion 32 contacts three layers of gauze, and the pressing end 33 is raised inward. The bent portion 32 has a 180° bent structure. The dental pad 1 is made of soft plastic, while the baffle 2 and the buckle 3 are made of hard TPU. The buckle 3 has four sets of buckles evenly arranged on one side wall of the baffle 2. The user can first fix the pad to the outside of the three layers of gauze with the rubber sleeve for initial positioning, and then use the external buckle 3 structure to fix the rubber sleeve a second time. In the buckle 3, the bent portion 32 and the pressing end 33 are fixed and locked to the gauze / rubber sleeve structure. The dental pad 1 is made of soft plastic. After clinical use, the improved dental pad 1 significantly relieves the pressure of the dental pad 1 on the lips and tongue, reduces patient pain, reduces oral infection, and promotes patient recovery.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] Based on Example 1, the user can first put three layers of gauze on the dental pad, press the gauze with the bent part 32 and the crimping end 33 in the buckle plate 3, and finally put the rubber sleeve on the outside of the bent part 32. This can reduce the exposure of the gauze, reduce the hardness of the dental pad, and reduce the occurrence of sores on the tongue and lips.
[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
