Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of baby products, in particular to a baby oral movement aid. Background Art

[0002] With the development of perinatal technology, more and more premature infants are being treated. Reasonable feeding strategies are one of the keys to improving the survival rate of premature infants. However, premature infants, especially those under 32 weeks of age, have immature organ systems and lack coordination in sucking, swallowing and breathing, which leads to poor oral feeding. Currently, the neonatal oral motor assessment scale (NOMAS) is commonly used in clinical practice to evaluate the infants, and then non-nutritive sucking before feeding and oral massage thereafter are used to enhance the oral motor function of the infants in order to achieve oral feeding as soon as possible. In addition, the latest studies have shown that adding oral support on the basis of previous oral interventions can improve the feeding performance of premature infants without increasing the incidence of complications related to premature infants.

[0003] At present, when doing oral massage to newborns to train their sucking ability, medical staff need to wear sterile powder-free gloves and insert their index fingers into the newborns' mouths to massage. Since sterile powder-free gloves are disposable items and they use a lot of materials, this results in a waste of costs. In addition, when using sterile powder-free gloves for oral massage, infection is easily caused, and there is a situation where different operators apply uneven force, which can cause damage to the local oral mucosa.

[0004] Moreover, the newborn can only suck on the index finger sleeve, which has a single structure and function, and has a poor effect on training the sucking ability of the newborn, and cannot effectively train the cheek muscles, and cannot ensure the comfort of the newborn during use.

[0005] Therefore, a baby oral movement aid is proposed to solve the current deficiencies. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a baby oral movement aid.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is an infant oral movement aid: comprising an aid body and a suction tube;

[0008] The auxiliary device body is a hollow structure, and the auxiliary device body includes a bite table and a pacifier. The bite table is an elliptical column structure as a whole. The upper and lower sides of the bite table are provided with crease lines that match the gums, so that the bite table can wrap the gums. The left and right ends of the bite table are evenly provided with dot-shaped protrusions 1. The pacifier is arranged in the middle position of the front side of the bite table, and the front surface of the pacifier is evenly provided with dot-shaped protrusions 2;

[0009] A connector is provided at the rear side of the occlusal table, and one end of the suction tube is detachably connected to the connector.

[0010] As an improvement, the occlusal platform forms an arc-shaped supporting groove that matches the gums through the indentation of the crease line.

[0011] As an improvement, the auxiliary device body is made of soft medical silicone.

[0012] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0013] 1. Through the coordinated arrangement of the nipple, the second dot-shaped protrusion and the first dot-shaped protrusion on the occlusal table, the tongue muscles and the masseter muscles on both sides of the cheek of the baby are stimulated, and the oral movement of the premature baby is promoted, so as to achieve the purpose of self-sucking;

[0014] 2. By setting the crease line, the occlusal table can be concave to form an arc-shaped support groove that matches the gums. By scaling the occlusal table, the gums and nerves around the alveolar bone of the baby can be stimulated, thereby enhancing the occlusal effect of the pacifier head.

[0015] 3. The auxiliary device has a simple structure and is easy to use. By sucking the air inside it, the auxiliary device body can be expanded and contracted, and then coordinated with the muscles in the baby's mouth to achieve coordinated movement of the tongue muscles and the masseter muscles in the cheeks, thereby realizing the training of oral movements.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the invention, "a plurality of" means at least two.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of the invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] As shown in the accompanying drawings, an infant oral movement aid includes an aid body 1 and a suction tube 2;

[0026] In this embodiment, the auxiliary device body 1 is made of soft medical silicone. Silicone has good biocompatibility, is non-irritating, non-toxic, and has no allergic reaction to human tissues, and has very few body rejection reactions. It can maintain its original elasticity and softness during contact with tissues, thereby ensuring the comfort of the baby when using the movement aid.

[0027] The auxiliary device body 1 is a hollow structure. During implementation, the auxiliary device body 1 can achieve scaling movement by sucking the air inside it, thereby coordinating with the muscles in the baby's mouth to achieve coordinated movement of the tongue muscles and the masseter muscles in the cheeks, thereby realizing the training of oral movements.

[0028] The auxiliary device body 1 includes an occlusal table 3 and a pacifier 4. Specifically, the structure of the occlusal table 3 can be set according to actual conditions, including but not limited to a cylindrical structure, an elliptical column structure, etc. In the present embodiment, the occlusal table 3 is an elliptical column structure as a whole. When in use, the occlusal table 3 is placed in the oral cavity and cooperates with the gums of the baby.

[0029] The upper and lower sides of the bite table 3 are provided with crease lines 5 that match the gums, so that the bite table 3 can wrap the gums. The crease lines 5 are arranged along the extension direction of the bite table 3, and the crease lines 5 can correspond to the baby's gums.

[0030] Specifically, the bite platform 3 forms an arc-shaped supporting groove 9 that matches the gums through the inward concave crease line 5. At the same time, the bite platform 3 is thin and soft at the crease line 5, which can reduce the biting pressure of the baby's gums on the crease line 5 and ensure the baby's biting comfort. At the same time, through the corresponding settings of the crease lines 5 on the upper and lower sides of the bite platform 3, the upper and lower jaws can be fixed in the correct position before the baby's teeth come out, thereby guiding the upper and lower gums.

[0031] In a specific implementation, the bite table 3 is placed in the baby's mouth, and the crease line 5 is matched with the baby's gums. By closing the upper and lower gums of the baby at the crease line, the crease line 5 can be concave at the bite table 2 to form an arc-shaped support groove 9. At this time, the baby's gums are located in the arc-shaped support groove 9, so that the bite table 3 wraps the baby's gums. Then, by scaling the bite table 3, the baby's gums and the nerves around the alveolar bone can be stimulated, thereby enhancing the bite of the nipple head.

[0032] The left and right ends of the occlusal platform 3 are evenly provided with dot-shaped protrusions 6, and the dot-shaped protrusions 6 are evenly distributed on both sides of the occlusal platform 3. During implementation, the two ends of the occlusal platform 3 are in contact with both sides of the cheeks. Through the setting of the dot-shaped protrusions 6, stimulation and massage of the muscles on both sides of the cheeks can be achieved.

[0033] The nipple 4 is arranged in the middle position of the front side of the occlusal table 3, and the front surface of the nipple 4 is evenly provided with dot-shaped protrusions 7. Through the coordinated arrangement of the nipple 4 and the dot-shaped protrusions 7, the tongue muscles can be stimulated, and the sucking ability can be trained and improved, which can help premature infants improve their sucking ability.

[0034] A connector 8 is provided at the rear side of the occlusal table 3, and one end of the suction tube 2 is detachably connected to the connector 8. During implementation, the suction tube 2 is connected to a suction device, and the suction and inflation operation of the suction device is used to achieve the scaling operation of the auxiliary device body 1;

[0035] When the present invention is implemented, the auxiliary device body 1 is placed in the baby's mouth, and the baby's gums are matched with the crease line 4 at the occlusal table 3, so that the occlusal table 3 wraps around the gums;

[0036] Then, the auxiliary device body 1 is evacuated and inflated by a suction device, so that the nipple 4 and the bite plate 3 are scaled, so as to stimulate the tongue muscles and the masseter muscles on both sides of the cheeks of the baby, promote the oral movement of the premature baby, and thus achieve the purpose of self-sucking;

[0037] At the same time, by scaling the occlusal table 3, the nerves surrounding the gums and alveolar bones of the baby can be stimulated, thereby enhancing the effect of the occlusal nipple.

[0038] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
