Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliances, and in particular relates to an oral care device for critically ill patients. Background Art

[0002] Some special patients, such as critically ill or comatose patients, are unable to brush their teeth and clean their mouths by themselves, and medical staff are required to clean their mouths regularly every day. At present, general hospitals use tweezers to hold cotton balls and dip them in care solution to provide oral care for patients. This care method is inconvenient to operate, the patient's comfort level is poor, the patient's oral cleaning care is often not in place, and the waste liquid in the patient's mouth is not easy to discharge, and it is easy to overflow and cause secondary pollution. Although some hospitals have adopted some disposable oral care toothbrushes, these toothbrushes do not have the functions of flushing and draining, and are extremely inconvenient to use. It is also easy to cause danger if the cotton balls fall into the patient's mouth, and if the tweezers are not careful when holding the cotton balls, they may poke the patient's gums and mouth, causing discomfort to the patient. Announcement No. CN206063243 U discloses an oral care device for critically ill patients, which includes a washing device and a negative pressure suction device. The washing device includes a hanging bottle filled with a cleaning liquid, a first conduit connected to the hanging bottle, a flow valve arranged on the first conduit, and a brush mounted on the end of the first conduit. Although the device can also clean the oral cavity, it is cumbersome to use. It requires a hanging bottle, so a bracket for hanging the hanging bottle is inevitably required during operation. The operation process is cumbersome, and the device cannot select a suitable mouthwash according to the patient's oral condition. When cleaning the residual nightshade in the mouth, it absorbs the residual nightshade by extending a tube into the oral cavity. If the operation is improper, it is easy to cause secondary damage to the oral cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection.

[0019] The present embodiment provides an oral care device for critically ill patients, including a toothbrush body, the toothbrush body including an infusion tube 1 with a hollow interior, a sponge brush head 2 sleeved at one end of the infusion tube 1, and a negative pressure connector 3 sleeved at the other end of the infusion tube 1, the infusion tube 1 is provided with a seepage hole 4 at one end connected to the sponge brush head 2, an elastic pad 5 is provided on the inner wall of the sponge brush head 2, the elastic pad 5 is wrapped around the outside of the infusion tube 1, the elastic pad 3 is provided with a seepage groove 6 communicating with the seepage hole 4, the sponge brush head 2 is block-shaped, and its two opposite sides are serrated. The outside of the infusion tube 1 is wrapped with a PH test paper 7 close to the sponge brush head 2, and a PH test paper reference value 8 is pasted on the surface of the infusion tube 1. A pressure relief hole 9 is provided on one side of the negative pressure joint 3, and a plug 10 is movably connected to the pressure relief hole 9. The top of the negative pressure joint 3 is connected to a negative pressure suction device 12 through a negative pressure tube 11. The oral care device also includes a syringe 13. The upper end of the infusion tube 1 is also provided with a branch tube 14 for connecting the syringe 13. The syringe 14 is a syringe. The infusion tube 1 is a plastic rod, and the circumferential surface in the middle is engraved with anti-slip convex points 15. The infusion tube 1 is also equipped with a detachable bracket 16, and an arc-shaped card slot 17 corresponding to the shape of the infusion tube 1 is provided above the bracket 16. The material of the infusion tube 1 is K resin.

[0020] The present embodiment provides an oral care device for critically ill patients. When cleaning the patient's oral cavity, the medical staff holds the infusion tube with one hand, and then operates the syringe 13 with fingers to inject water into the infusion tube 1, and then the water enters the patient's mouth through the seepage hole 4 and the seepage groove 6. The structure is simple and does not require assistance. The medical staff can operate it with one hand. When cleaning the oral cavity, the pressure relief hole 9 is in an open state. After the oral cavity is cleaned, the plug 10 is inserted into the pressure relief hole 9, and the liquid in the oral cavity is extracted by the negative pressure suction device 12. In this embodiment, a sponge brush head 2 is used. Since the sponge body is flexible and non-rigid, it will not pierce the contact surface during the cleaning process to cause damage or bleeding. Moreover, because it is a porous structure, it can absorb more residual oral fluid in contact. The surface of the sponge brush head 2 is designed to be serrated, which can also increase its chances of contacting with various corners and seams of the oral cavity, so that the cleaning effect is better. In order to prevent the sponge from becoming too soft after contacting the liquid, an elastic pad 5 is arranged inside the sponge brush head 2 to improve its supporting strength, thereby improving the cleaning effect; a pH test paper 7 is arranged near the sponge brush head 2, and the pH reference value is used to intuitively detect the acid-base condition of the patient's oral cavity, and a suitable oral care solution is selected to rinse it to ensure the patient's oral hygiene; anti-slip bumps 15 are arranged on the outside of the infusion tube 1, so that medical staff will not slip when holding it due to the smooth surface of the handle, thereby improving the convenience of use; the bracket 16 is arranged to facilitate the placement of the toothbrush body and avoid contamination of the sponge brush head 1 during intermittent use; the material of the infusion tube 1 is K resin. Since the toothbrush body is made of K resin material, it is transparent and has good hardness, is not easy to break, and can conveniently observe the color, properties, etc. of the liquid in the oral cavity.

[0021] The above are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
