Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a novel tongue traction device. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, most patients need anesthesia, temporarily lose consciousness and breathing, and need airway management during surgical treatment. For short surgeries, laryngeal mask can be selected. Laryngeal mask has its advantages: but during the insertion of the laryngeal mask, the patient's tongue will block the laryngeal mask, making it difficult to insert the laryngeal mask. Repeated attempts will cause oropharyngeal bleeding, so a tongue traction device is needed to help smoothly insert the laryngeal mask.

[0003] Furthermore, during ENT surgery, the tongue sometimes needs to be pulled out to fully expose the surgical site. The current method is to wrap the tip of the tongue with a gauze block, pull it out, pass a suture through the tongue, and then the assistant continues to hold the suture to keep the tongue in the pulled state.

[0004] Among the current medical devices, there is a tongue clamp that assists in the insertion of a laryngeal mask. The specific method is to insert the tongue clamp of the tongue clamp into the patient's mouth, find the correct position, clamp the patient's tongue, and then pull the patient's tongue out of the mouth to a certain length to facilitate the insertion of the laryngeal mask. However, this traditional tongue clamp is not convenient to directly insert into the patient's mouth, so that the upper and lower tongue clamps are respectively located in the correct position, and the two tongue clamps are placed above and below the tongue, which is easy to damage the patient's mouth and tongue.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 , this embodiment provides a novel tongue traction device, comprising:

[0026] Tongue pliers 1, the tongue pliers 1 comprising an upper pliers body 110 and a lower pliers body 120; the pliers body of the upper pliers body 110 is a two-section structure;

[0027] The tongue puller 2 comprises a tongue cover 210, a connecting sleeve 220, and an air bag 230; the upper clamp body 110 and the lower clamp body 120 are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the tongue puller 2, and the clamp arm of the lower clamp body 120 is connected to the lower end surface of the connecting sleeve 220; the tongue cover 210 is arranged adjacent to the tongue clamping ring of the lower clamp body 120;

[0028] Connector 3, the connector 3 includes a guide rail 310 and a sliding seat 320, the guide rail 310 is arranged on the upper end surface of the connecting sleeve 220; the sliding seat 320 is slidably connected to the guide rail 310; the sliding seat 320 is provided with two articulated frames 330, and the two sections of the upper clamp body 110 are respectively rotatably connected to the two articulated frames 330; and the ends of the two sections of the clamp body are provided with teeth 111, which are meshed and connected between the two articulated frames 330.

[0029] The conventional tongue pliers are two cross-hinged structures. When the two finger rings 130 on the tongue pliers are close to each other, the two tongue clamping rings 140 are also close to each other; when the two finger rings 130 are far away from each other, the two tongue clamping rings 140 are also far away from each other.

[0030] Working principle of this new tongue traction device:

[0031] Press the airbag 230 to discharge the air in the airbag 230 through the internal channel of the connecting sleeve 220 and the entrance of the tongue cover 210 in sequence; use the connector 3 to pull the upper clamp body 110, and the sliding seat 320 moves along the guide rail 310, so that the tongue clamp ring 140 of the upper clamp body 110 is away from the tongue clamp ring 140 of the lower clamp body 120 to avoid the position. The front end of the tongue traction device is placed in the patient's mouth, so that the tongue clamp ring 140 of the lower clamp body 120 extends to the position under the patient's tongue, and at the same time, the entrance of the tongue cover 210 arranged adjacent to the tongue clamp ring 140 of the lower clamp body 120 is connected to the patient's tongue, and the tip of the tongue enters the tongue cover 210 through the entrance of the tongue cover 210. Release the pressure on the airbag 230, the airbag 230 will automatically expand and return to its original state to inhale air, and at the same time tightly suck the patient's tongue, and operate the tongue traction device to move away from the patient's mouth as a whole, so that the tongue puller 2 drags the patient's tongue outward for a distance, partially exposing it outside the lips;

[0032] Before the suction provided by the airbag 230 is released, the upper clamp body 110 is pulled, and the sliding seat 320 moves along the guide rail 310 toward the patient's mouth, so that the tongue clamp ring 140 of the upper clamp body 110 moves above the tongue clamp ring 140 of the lower clamp body 120, and then the finger ring 130 of the upper clamp body 110 is operated to approach the finger ring 130 of the lower clamp body 120, and the end of the rear section of the clamp body rotates around the hinge frame 330. At the same time, the teeth 111 drive the teeth 111 at the end of the front section of the clamp body to rotate around the hinge frame 330, thereby forming the tongue clamp ring of the upper clamp body 110 close to the tongue clamp ring 140 of the lower clamp body 120 to clamp the patient's tongue between the two. The tongue traction device is operated to move as a whole away from the patient's mouth, so that the tongue clamp 1 drags the patient's tongue outward to maintain a continuous and stable clamping of the patient's tongue.

[0033] Therefore, the tongue traction device can achieve the following: when pulling the patient's tongue out of his mouth, after using the tongue puller 2 to conveniently pull the tongue out for a certain distance in the initial stage, the upper clamp body 110 is used in conjunction with the connector 3, and the tongue clamping ring 140 of the tongue clamp 1 is used to clamp the patient's tongue after it is pulled out for a certain distance, and then further clamp and pull it out.

[0034] The problem that the tongue puller 2 can only pull the patient's tongue out for a short distance is avoided, and the suction force provided by the airbag 230 is likely to be insufficient, resulting in the tongue cover 210 being disconnected from the tongue; the problem that the traditional tongue clamp is not convenient to be directly inserted into the patient's mouth, so that the upper and lower tongue clamping rings are respectively positioned above and below the tongue, which is easy to damage the user's oral cavity is avoided; the tongue traction device combines the advantages and strengths of the two working functions, and integrates the tongue clamp 1 and the tongue puller 2 by setting a unique, ingenious and novel connector 3, thereby improving the convenience of operation, and can effectively improve the smoothness of the subsequent laryngeal mask insertion operation and the insertion success rate. It is easy to use, safe and reliable.

[0035] It is worth noting that the guide rail 310 and the sliding seat 320 are provided with an anti-separation structure, which can be a dovetail structure guide rail set. The tongue cover 210 is a flexible material, which can be made of silicone. The connecting sleeve 220 is a hard material and plays a carrier role.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a first elastic member 4; the tail end of the connecting sleeve 220 is provided with a first connecting portion 221, and the rear end of the sliding seat 320 is provided with a second connecting portion 321, and the two ends of the first elastic member 4 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 221 and the second connecting portion 321, so as to keep pulling the sliding seat 320 closer to the direction of the first connecting portion 221.

[0037] The first elastic member 4 pulls the lower clamp body 120 to move toward the rear end of the sliding seat 320, automatically providing a clearance for the tongue puller 2 to suck the patient's tongue.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , including a second elastic member (not shown); a third connecting portion 112 is provided at the front section of the upper pliers body 110 adjacent to the rotation connection with the articulated frame 330, and a fourth connecting portion 322 is provided at the front end of the sliding seat 320; the second elastic member has two ends connected to the third connecting portion 112 and the fourth connecting portion 322, respectively, for supporting the front section of the upper pliers body 110, so that the front section of the upper pliers body 110 rotates relative to the articulated frame 330, and keeps the clamping tongue ring of the upper pliers body 110 away from the clamping tongue ring of the lower pliers body 120.

[0039] By providing a second elastic member to provide an upward holding force to the front section of the upper clamp body 110, the tongue clamp ring of the upper clamp body 110 is kept away from the tongue clamp ring of the lower clamp body 120. In the initial stage, after the tongue is conveniently pulled out a certain distance using the tongue puller 2, the upper clamp body 110 is pushed toward the user's mouth. The tongue clamp ring 140 of the upper clamp body 110 can avoid and does not contact the edge of the patient's tongue, but directly reaches the position above the tongue.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 The airbag 230 is disposed on the left side wall or the right side wall of the tail end of the connecting sleeve 220 .

[0041] The traditional tongue puller is a tongue cover, a connecting sleeve, and an air bag connected end to end and arranged in a straight line. In the present application, the air bag 230 is arranged on the left side wall or the right side wall of the tail end of the connecting sleeve 220. On the one hand, it is convenient for medical staff to press the air bag 230 with one hand, and at the same time hold the finger ring 130 of the lower clamp body 120; on the other hand, the structure of the tongue puller 2 is optimized to prevent interference when the finger ring 130 of the lower clamp body 120 and the finger ring 130 of the upper clamp body 110 are close to each other.

[0042] Preferably, the first elastic member 4 is a tension spring. In some embodiments, the second elastic member is a spring.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 The tongue clamping ring 140 of the tongue clamp 1 is provided with transverse lines 121.

[0044] The transverse lines 121 can prevent slipping when the tongue clamping ring 140 clamps the patient's wet and soft tongue.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connector 3 further includes a protective cover 340 , which is connected to the sliding seat 320 and encloses the hinge frame 330 .

[0046] In the specification and claims of the present application, the words "include / comprise" and the words "have / include" and their variations are used to specify the existence of stated features, values, steps or components, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, values, steps, components or combinations thereof.
