Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oral care, and in particular to a multifunctional saliva suction tube, an oral saliva suction device and a saliva suction method. Background Art

[0002] During oral care, there will be saliva, blood and liquid medicine produced during flushing in the oral cavity. In order not to affect normal care operations, a saliva suction tube is needed to discharge excess liquid out of the oral cavity. Most of the saliva suction tubes currently used in the market are single-hole structures with low suction efficiency. In addition, when a single-hole structure is used to absorb liquid, the diameter of the saliva suction hole is large. Although it can improve the suction efficiency to a certain extent, it is also easy to absorb impurities, causing blockage of the saliva suction tube and even affecting the instruments connected to the saliva suction tube. The stability and safety are both low.

[0003] In addition, when doctors provide oral care for patients, they will use a tongue guard to cover the tongue, or use retractors to pull the corners of the mouth and gum tissue to perform related care operations. This means that the doctor may need other assistants to operate together, or operate multiple operating tools at the same time, which is not only time-consuming, but may also bring uncomfortable care experience to patients, or even infection problems. For example, improper operation may cause rupture of soft tissue in the mouth.
