AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the swelling of the tongue in patients with macroglossia leads to laryngeal edema. Postoperatively, patients need nasotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Traditional wet gauze is not secure, easily slips off, and is inconvenient to replace, resulting in poor moisturizing effect.
A tongue wound moistening device was designed, which uses a cover-type structure to fix gauze and connects it with Velcro. It is combined with an infusion set for automatic moistening, and uses ear loops and pig nose clips for adjustment and fixation. A flow rate regulator controls the humidity to ensure that the gauze is firmly fixed and has a good moistening effect.
It achieves secure fixation and automatic wetting of gauze, reduces manual intervention, improves wetting effect, reduces the risk of detachment, and reduces medical waste.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a tongue wound moisturizing device. Background Technology
[0002] For patients with macroglossia (broad tongue) and macroglossia (excessive tongue projection), especially those causing airway obstruction, surgical treatment should be performed as early as possible. Due to surgical stimulation, BWS patients may experience laryngeal edema, tongue swelling, and inability to retract the tongue post-operatively, requiring nasotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The tongue may protrude from the mouth with a suture. For patients unable to control mouth closure and mouth breathing, maintaining oral hydration is essential. Currently, oral hydration is achieved by applying a moist gauze pad to the lips. However, existing moist gauze pads often lack comfortable, simple, and cost-effective fixation mechanisms. Furthermore, traditionally fixed gauze pads are prone to slipping, drying out, and are difficult to replace, leading to frequent dislodgement. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for moisturizing tongue wounds, which securely fixes the gauze, provides good moisturizing effect, and makes gauze replacement convenient.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A tongue wound moistening device includes a cover, a waterproof layer, gauze, and an infusion set; ear loops are fixed to both ends of the cover; the waterproof layer is fixed to the inner surface of the cover; Velcro hooks are fixed to the four corners of the waterproof layer; the gauze is attached to the Velcro hooks; a guide tube is provided on the cover; one end of the guide tube is connected to the infusion set, and the other end of the guide tube passes through the cover and the waterproof layer and is connected to the gauze, so that the moistening solution in the infusion set is introduced into the gauze through the guide tube.
[0006] Furthermore, the infusion set includes a drip chamber, a protective cap, an infusion tubing, and a drip reservoir for holding humidifying fluid; one end of the infusion tubing is connected to the drip reservoir, and the other end of the infusion tubing is connected to the protective cap, with a drip chamber provided on the infusion tubing; the protective cap is tightly embedded in the guide tube.
[0007] Furthermore, the infusion tubing is equipped with a flow rate regulator, which adjusts the flow rate of the humidifying fluid inside the infusion tubing.
[0008] Furthermore, an air valve is installed at the bottom of the drip pot.
[0009] Furthermore, the opening on the outer surface of the drainage tube is covered with a rubber ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the ear loop is equipped with a pig nose buckle, which allows the tightness of the ear loop to be adjusted.
[0011] Furthermore, a fitting sleeve is fixed to the outer end of the guide tube, and the protective cap is nested inside the fitting sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, the material of the fitting sleeve is rubber.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer waterproof layer is a waterproof transparent layer.
[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model is a tongue wound moistening device. It adopts a novel design, which innovates the gauze fixation method on the traditional method of moistening tongue wounds. The device is wrapped around the patient's face with a cover structure, which makes its fixation effect better than the traditional fixation method. Moreover, the method of attaching gauze with Velcro also makes it easy to attach or remove gauze.
[0016] 2. This utility model is a tongue wound moistening device. The main body of the device adopts a mask-like design, wrapping the device around the patient's face, and fixing the moistened gauze to the patient's wound. The main components that fix the mask to the patient's face are the ear loops on both sides of the mask. Unlike the ear loops of ordinary masks, the ear loops of this device are equipped with pig nose buckles that can adjust the length of the loops. The pig nose buckles can firmly lock the loops at the required length, making the device securely fixed to the face.
[0017] 3. This utility model is a tongue wound moistening device. The gauze is moistened automatically through the structure of the device. The needle of the infusion set is embedded in the through hole in the center of the cover, and the humidity of the moistened gauze is controlled by the flow rate regulator on the infusion set. This process does not require manual water addition, freeing up manpower, reducing disturbance to the patient, and has good results.
[0018] 4. This utility model is a tongue wound moistening device. The gauze is moistened by an external infusion set, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the infused fluid. Furthermore, the device for removing the infusion set can be washed, and the washed and disinfected device can be reused, reducing medical waste. Attached Figure Description
