Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a new toothbrush suitable for oral care. Background Art
[0002] Invasive mechanical ventilation is a commonly used respiratory treatment method for critically ill patients, and endotracheal intubation is the main method to complete mechanical ventilation. Most patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation are in a coma and are bedridden for a long time. They cannot cough up sputum on their own. Sputum retained in the mouth and between teeth is prone to breed bacteria, produce odor, and even erosion. Therefore, oral care is particularly important for critically ill patients.
[0003] When the existing suction tube is used to suction the sputum of the patient, there are often sputum and other secretions left in the mouth, between teeth, tongue coating, etc. Traditional oral care cannot thoroughly clean the mouth and remove dental plaque, and some sputum cannot be removed by itself. Due to body position and gravity factors, it naturally flows into the lower respiratory tract, eventually leading to the occurrence of VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia). Although there are currently nursing toothbrushes with flushing and negative pressure suction functions, these toothbrushes require external flushing devices and cannot provide lighting in the mouth. During oral care, the mouth cannot be completely cleaned due to light reasons, and an external flushing device is required for flushing, which greatly increases the nursing workload, and ultimately increases the patient's mechanical ventilation time and total hospitalization time and hospitalization costs. This is a problem that existing oral care toothbrushes cannot solve.
[0004] How to provide a new toothbrush suitable for oral care that has both flushing and negative pressure adsorption and lighting functions is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0033] In some possible implementations, a first adjustment switch 4 is provided on the toothbrush handle 11, and the first adjustment switch 4 is electrically connected to the external adsorption machine.
[0034] Specifically, when medical staff use the device, they need to adjust the suction force of the negative pressure adsorption component 2 according to the patient's oral condition. The first adjustment switch 4 electrically connected to the external adsorption machine is set on the toothbrush handle 11 to facilitate the operation of medical staff. When the medical staff adsorbs the patient's oral saliva, they can adjust the adsorption strength with their hands and turn on or off the external adsorption machine.
[0035] In some possible implementations, a second adjustment switch 5 is provided on the toothbrush handle 11 , and the second adjustment switch 5 is electrically connected to the telescopic rod 32 .
[0036] Specifically, when medical staff need to clean the patient's mouth, they need to open the telescopic rod 32 and push out the cleaning liquid. Setting the second adjustment switch 5 electrically connected to the telescopic rod 32 on the toothbrush handle 11 further simplifies the operation of medical staff. Medical staff can clean the patient's mouth and open or close the cleaning component 3 with one hand.
[0037] In some possible implementations, the first adjustment switch 4 and the second adjustment switch 5 are respectively located on opposite sides of the toothbrush handle 11 .
[0038] Specifically, the first adjustment switch 4 and the second adjustment switch 5 are located at different positions, which makes it easier for medical staff to distinguish them and avoids operating errors during use.
[0039] In some possible implementations, the toothbrush bristles 13 are made of nylon.
[0040] Specifically, the nylon material is softer, and the toothbrush bristles 13 made of nylon material do not damage the oral mucosa while ensuring the cleaning effect, and are safe to use.
[0041] In some possible implementations, there are three LED lamp beads 15 , and the three LED lamp beads 15 are installed in parallel and at intervals at one end of the toothbrush head 12 away from the toothbrush handle 11 .
[0042] Specifically, the three LED lamp beads 15 have a good lighting effect without being redundant, and the three LED lamp beads 15 are installed in parallel and at intervals to increase the lighting range, helping medical staff to better observe the internal conditions of the patient's oral cavity, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0043] In some possible implementations, the toothbrush handle 11 is a cylinder, and the internal space of the toothbrush handle 11 is cylindrical.
[0044] Specifically, the cylindrical toothbrush handle 11 is easier to hold, and the internal space of the toothbrush handle 11 is cylindrical, which can hold relatively more cleaning liquid, making full use of the internal space of the toothbrush handle 11, and also facilitating the piston 31 to isolate the interior thereof, so that no leakage will occur when the piston 31 pushes the cleaning liquid.
[0045] In some possible implementations, a plurality of air suction holes are evenly spaced and arranged in the gaps between the toothbrush bristles 13 .
[0046] In some possible implementations, a plurality of drainage holes 34 are evenly spaced and arranged in the gaps between the toothbrush bristles 13 .
[0047] Specifically, the air intake holes evenly spaced between the pores of the toothbrush bristles 13 make the suction range of the air intake holes wider, thereby increasing its suction effect. Similarly, the liquid discharge holes 34 evenly spaced between the pores of the toothbrush bristles 13 make the spraying range of the cleaning liquid wider, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning liquid.
[0048] In some possible implementations, the handle of the toothbrush handle 11 is wrapped with an anti-slip layer.
[0049] Specifically, when the medical staff holds the toothbrush handle 11, the anti-skid layer design can play an anti-skid role, preventing the medical staff from losing the device when using it, thereby increasing its safety.
