Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to an adjustable eye drop auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] In ophthalmic treatment, eye drops are a very common way of medication, which are used to treat a variety of eye diseases and discomfort symptoms. When applying eye drops, the patient sits or lies on his back with his head slightly tilted back. He uses the thumb and index finger of his left hand to separate the upper and lower eyelids. He holds the eye drop bottle at a certain distance from the eyes with his right hand and gently squeezes the bottle to drop the eye drops into the eye. However, there are some problems with this process: most patients directly use their fingers to hold open their eyelids to apply drops, which can easily lead to eye infections. In addition, it is difficult for patients to control the distance between the bottle mouth and the eyeball when applying drops alone, which may result in the drops being off-center. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an adjustable eye drop aid for the above-mentioned defects, which can ensure that the bottle mouth is aligned with the eyeball while preventing the patient from using his hands to open the eyelids, which may easily lead to eye infection.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: it includes a connecting part and a supporting part located at the lower side of the connecting part, the supporting part includes a supporting rod for holding open the lower eyelid and a protective cover sleeved on the outside of the supporting rod in an initial state, the connecting part is provided with a placing part for clamping the eye solution bottle in a vertical direction, the supporting rod and the connecting part are arranged at a specified angle, so that when the supporting rod holds open the lower eyelid, the bottle mouth of the eye solution bottle faces the patient's eye.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present solution is that the eye drop bottle is fixed on the connecting part through the placement part, with the mouth of the eye drop bottle facing downwards. When in use, the patient holds the connecting part with his hand and opens the lower eyelid through the support rod, and then squeezes the bottle body to drop the eye drop into the eye. Since the support rod and the connecting part are arranged at a specified angle, the mouth of the eye drop bottle faces the eye when the lower eyelid is opened by the support rod, thereby avoiding the situation of deviated drops. During the whole drop process, the patient's hands will not directly touch the eyes, and in the initial state, the protective cover is arranged on the support rod, which is removed when in use and put on again after use, so as to ensure the hygiene of the support rod in direct contact with the lower eyelid and avoid infection.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the connecting part is a telescopic structure, comprising an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve slidably matched with the outer sleeve, the outer sleeve is provided with a plurality of through holes along its axial direction, the inner sleeve is provided with an elastic protrusion for engaging with the through holes, the placement part is arranged on the inner sleeve, and the outer sleeve is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the placement part to pass through.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: in the initial state, the elastic protrusion is engaged with one of the through holes. Since the lengths of the mouths of eye drop bottles of different models are different, the height of the support rod needs to be adjusted according to the distance between the mouth of the eye drop bottle and the eye. When adjustment is needed, the elastic protrusion is pressed, and then the inner sleeve is slid along the axial direction of the outer sleeve, thereby driving the placement part to move until the distance between the mouth of the eye drop bottle and the support rod is appropriate. Then the elastic protrusion is released to engage with the through hole at another position on the outer sleeve, thereby fixing the inner sleeve on the outer sleeve. The adjustment is convenient, and it can ensure that the mouth of the eye drop bottle is kept at a suitable distance from the patient's eye during use.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the placement portion includes two elastic clamping blocks arranged on the outer edge of the inner sleeve, both of which are semi-annular and can be combined to form a cylinder with a circular hole in the middle, and the circular hole is used to accommodate the bottle mouth of the eye solution bottle.

[0009] The beneficial effect of this solution is that the mouth of the eye drop bottle is placed on the two clamping blocks through the circular hole. Since the two clamping blocks are elastic and semi-annular, circular holes of different sizes can be formed on the two clamping blocks, thereby adapting to the mouths of the eye drop bottles of different radial sizes.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, two fixing belts for fixing the body of the eye solution bottle are provided on the outer edge of the inner sleeve, and the two fixing belts are adhesively connected.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: after the mouth of the eye drop bottle is passed through the round hole and placed on the clamping block, the body of the eye drop bottle is bound to the inner sleeve by a fixing belt, so as to prevent the eye drop bottle from shifting or falling during the process of using the adjustable eye drop aid to drip drops into the patient's eyes, thereby affecting the dripping process; the two fixing belts are bonded, and the fixing belts can be adjusted according to eye drop bottles of different sizes, so as to adapt to eye drop bottles of different sizes.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a connecting rod is detachably connected to the upper side of the inner sleeve, a mirror is provided on the upper side of the connecting rod, and the connecting rod can be bent and positioned after being bent.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: a mirror is provided on the upper side of the inner sleeve to facilitate the patient to observe the condition of his or her own eyes during dripping, and when the position of the mirror needs to be adjusted, it can be adjusted by bending the connecting rod; the connecting rod and the inner sleeve are detachably connected, so that the connecting rod and the mirror can be separated from the inner sleeve before and after use for easy storage.
