Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of epilepsy protection equipment. Background Art

[0002] Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which abnormal discharges of brain neurons lead to temporary brain dysfunction. When epileptic patients have an attack, their bodies are usually stiff and their teeth are clenched. When patients clench their teeth, they are prone to bite their tongues and injure themselves. The secretions produced in the mouth cannot be discharged in time along the mouth, causing choking and suffocation. Therefore, patients need to support and protect their mouths in time after an epileptic attack. Traditionally, dental pads are used for protection.

[0003] After a single attack, the patient needs to be protected during the short-term high-incidence stage. During this stage, it will be inconvenient for the patient if he wears a dental pad all the time. Therefore, the patient's oral cavity can be monitored, and the patient can be supported in time to protect the patient when the patient closes his teeth during an epileptic seizure. When monitoring the patient's oral cavity, if a sensor is used for observation, the sensor needs a battery to power it, and the oral occlusion process can easily damage the battery and cause the leakage of harmful substances such as heavy metals, thereby posing a risk to the patient. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a neurosurgery epilepsy protection device in view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies. The protective capsule is placed in the oral cavity in a folded shape to compress its volume without affecting the normal occlusion of the oral cavity, and the creep layer in the protective capsule distinguishes the oral occlusion, so that after the patient's epileptic seizure, the teeth bite the creep layer for a certain period of time and pressure to break it and connect the chambers, so that the materials filled in each chamber contact and react to produce gas, and then the protective capsule is inflated to expand it to support and protect the oral cavity, which is safe and flexible to use.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a neurosurgical epilepsy protection device, including an annular protection capsule; a creep layer is arranged in the protection capsule; the creep layer separates the protection capsule into two chambers; the two chambers are respectively filled with substances that react with each other to produce gas; the outer wall of the protection capsule is fixedly connected with a patch by dental floss.

[0006] To further optimize the technical solution, a shaped pull wire is evenly and fixedly connected inside the protection bag of the neurosurgical epilepsy protection device.

[0007] To further optimize the technical solution, the two chambers of the protective bag of the neurosurgical epilepsy protection device are filled with hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide respectively.

[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, the creep layer of the neurosurgery epilepsy protection device is made of PU material.

[0009] To further optimize the technical solution, the protective bag of the neurosurgery epilepsy protection device is made of nylon.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] 1. After an attack, the patient uses the device to prevent multiple attacks in the short term. When the device is used, the protective capsule is folded and the volume is shrunk. Then it is placed in the patient's mouth for use. Although the protective capsule is in a wrinkled state, it still causes a foreign body sensation to the patient, but it does not interfere with the patient's oral occlusion, and has a positive effect on preventing trismus during epileptic attacks;

[0012] After the protective capsule is placed in the patient's mouth, the dental floss is passed through the teeth to make the patch fit the outside of the teeth, so as to restrict the position of the protective capsule to prevent the patient from swallowing it, thereby improving the safety of use;

[0013] 2. After the patient wears the protective capsule, the creep layer inside the protective capsule distinguishes the oral occlusion, that is, distinguishes the normal occlusion of the patient's mouth and the clenching of the patient's teeth during an epileptic seizure, so that the protective capsule reacts and protects the patient, which is more flexible to use;

[0014] When the patient's mouth is in normal occlusion, the occlusion time on the creep layer is short and the occlusion force is small. However, after an epileptic seizure, the patient's teeth are clenched, which will cause the creep layer to occlude for a certain period of time and with a certain pressure, thereby causing the molecules in the creep layer to move to both ends, thus damaging the creep layer. The damaged creep layer connects the two chambers separated by it, and the substances filled in them are in contact and react to produce gas, thereby inflating the protective bag to expand it to support the patient's mouth. It is flexible and safe to use.

[0015] The inflated protective bag supports the patient's mouth to prevent the patient from biting the tongue and causing injury. Its annular structure allows the patient to breathe smoothly and facilitates the discharge of secretions in the mouth to prevent the patient from choking and suffocating, making it safer to use.

[0016] 3. When using the creep layer to distinguish the normal bite of the patient's mouth and the bite during an epileptic seizure, compared with using sensors for distinction, it avoids the use of batteries for power supply, thereby avoiding damage to the battery and causing risks of use, and improving safety and flexibility of use;

[0017] 4. When the two chambers in the protective bag are filled with substances that react with each other, avoid using substances that react violently, so as to avoid the gas generated too quickly causing the protective bag to inflate too quickly and thus causing damage to the patient's oral cavity. Also, avoid using substances that react to generate a lot of heat to avoid scalding the patient's oral cavity, etc., to improve the safety of use;

[0018] When the protective bag is inflated to expand the patient's oral cavity, the shaping wire inside the protective bag pulls the protective bag as it expands, so as to avoid the risk of use caused by excessive expansion, making it safer to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the protective bag structure of the present invention.

[0021] In the figure, 1. protective bag; 2. creep layer; 3. chamber; 4. dental floss; 5. patch; 6. shaping wire. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the neurosurgical epilepsy protection device includes an annular protective capsule 1; a creep layer 2 is arranged in the protective capsule 1; the creep layer 2 separates the protective capsule 1 into two chambers 3; the two chambers 3 are respectively filled with substances that react with each other to produce gas; a patch 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective capsule 1 through a dental floss 4; a shaping pull line 6 is evenly and fixedly connected in the protective capsule 1; the two chambers 3 of the protective capsule 1 are respectively filled with hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide; the creep layer 2 is made of PU material; and the protective capsule 1 is made of nylon material.

[0024] When a patient is hospitalized or cared for at home after an attack, the device is used for protection to prevent the patient from having repeated attacks in a short period of time. When the device is used, the protective capsule 1 is in a folded state to compress the volume of the device, and then it is placed in the patient's mouth and the inside of the gums, and then the dental floss 4 is passed through the teeth and the patch 5 is attached to the outside of the teeth, so as to restrain the protective capsule 1 and prevent the patient from swallowing the protective capsule 1, thereby improving the safety of use;

[0025] After the protective capsule 1 is placed in the oral cavity, although the protective capsule 1 is folded and compressed, the patient still feels a foreign body sensation. However, the protective capsule 1 does not affect the patient's oral occlusion, so it does not affect the patient's eating, etc., and has a positive effect on supporting the patient's oral cavity after the patient has an epileptic seizure.

[0026] When the patient wears the protective capsule 1 and performs oral occlusion, the protective capsule 1 needs to be used to distinguish the normal occlusion of the patient's mouth and the occlusion during epilepsy. When the patient has an epileptic seizure, his teeth clench and the protective capsule 1 is bitten.

[0027] When the patient wears the protective capsule 1 and performs oral occlusion, the protective capsule 1 is needed to distinguish the normal occlusion of the patient's mouth and the occlusion during an epileptic attack, and the creep layer 2 in the protective capsule 1 distinguishes the patient's oral occlusion. When the patient performs normal occlusion, the occlusion time of the creep layer 2 in the protective capsule 1 is short, so no damage is caused to the creep layer 2. When the patient has an epileptic attack, the creep layer 2 in the protective capsule 1 is continuously occluded for a certain time and with a certain pressure, so that the molecules in the creep layer 2 move to both sides, thereby damaging the creep layer 2.

[0028] After the creep layer 2 is damaged, the two chambers 3 separated by the creep layer 2 in the protective capsule 1 are respectively filled with substances that can react with each other, such as when hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide are respectively filled in the two chambers 3, they react with each other to produce oxygen, thereby inflating the protective capsule 1, thereby supporting the patient's mouth and urging the mouth to open to prevent the patient from biting the tongue. The annular structure of the protective capsule 1 allows the patient to breathe smoothly and facilitates the discharge of secretions produced in the mouth to avoid choking and suffocation, making it safer to use.

[0029] The protective capsule 1 distinguishes the patient's oral occlusion through the creep layer 2. Compared with the use of sensors to distinguish the patient's oral occlusion, the sensor needs to be powered by a battery, and the battery contains heavy metals. Therefore, when the protective capsule 1 is placed in the patient's mouth, the patient's bite is likely to cause battery damage, which in turn causes a risk of use. Therefore, the creep layer 2 is used to distinguish it to improve the safety of use;

[0030] When the two chambers 3 in the protective bag 1 are filled with substances that react with each other to generate gas to inflate the protective bag 1, two substances that react violently should be avoided, so as to avoid the protective bag 1 from inflating too quickly and causing harm to the patient, and avoid using substances that react with two substances to release a large amount of heat, so as to avoid the risk of scalding the patient. Those skilled in the art can choose other substances to react and generate gas according to actual conditions, so as to form a complete technical solution and produce a complete technical effect.

[0031] When the protective bag 1 is inflated to support the patient's oral cavity, the shaping wire 6 in the protective bag 1 pulls the protective bag 1 as it expands, so as to limit the risk of use caused by excessive expansion.
