Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an in-ear type ear leakage collector. Background Art

[0002] Middle cranial fossa fractures that lead to cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea may indeed cause bacterial infection and intracranial hypertension. When a middle cranial fossa fracture occurs, it may damage the skull and meninges, causing cerebrospinal fluid to flow out of the nasal cavity or ears. In this case, bacteria can enter the skull through the fracture, causing intracranial infection. Intracranial infection is one of the serious complications, which may cause diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis, and increase intracranial pressure, leading to symptoms of intracranial hypertension.

[0003] Since patients with middle cranial fossa fractures are prone to bacterial infection, which can lead to intracranial hypertension and cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea, the otorrhea is not easy to collect, which makes it difficult for doctors to observe the color and quality of the otorrhea. In addition, the existing method of calculating the amount of otorrhea by counting with cotton wool over time will result in large errors.

[0004] For this reason, an in-ear ear leakage collector is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the in-ear ear leakage collector comprises a latex auricle 1, an ear leakage collector 2 for collecting ear leakage is installed at the free end of the latex auricle 1, a discharge hole 21 for discharging the collected ear leakage is provided on the bottom surface of the ear leakage collector 2, a scale line 3 is provided on the front side wall of the ear leakage collector 2, a sealing component 4 for sealing the discharge hole 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the ear leakage collector 2, and an anti-reflux component 5 for guiding the ear leakage into the ear leakage collector 2 and preventing the ear leakage from flowing back is provided on the right side wall. More specifically, the latex auricle 1 is hung on the patient's auricle so that the anti-reflux component 5 on the right side wall of the ear leakage collector 2 is inserted into the interior of the ear canal, and the ear leakage collector 2 is sealed through the sealing component 4, and then placed on the patient's affected ear to put the patient in a functional position. As the ear leakage flows out, the ear leakage is introduced into the ear leakage collector 2 through the anti-reflux component 5, and the ear leakage is kept in a state of only entering but not exiting through the anti-reflux component 5 to prevent retrograde infection. When the ear leakage in the ear leakage collector 2 exceeds two-thirds, it is removed, and the doctor is notified to check the color quality. The seal of the ear leakage collector 2 is released through the sealing component 4 to discharge the ear leakage in the ear leakage collector 2, and the interior of the ear leakage collector 2 is convenient to clean.

[0026] The ear leakage collector 2 is made of a transparent material, and the scale line 3 is provided on the side wall of the ear leakage collector 2 and is non-transparent. More specifically, the ear leakage collector 2 is made of a transparent material and the non-transparent scale line 3 is provided on its surface, so that the ear leakage in the ear leakage collector 2 can be conveniently collected and measured.

[0027] The sealing assembly 4 includes a connecting rope 401, the bottom surface of the ear leakage collector 2 is fixedly mounted with the connecting rope 401, the free end of the connecting rope 401 is fixedly mounted with a handle 402, the free end of the handle 402 is fixedly mounted with a sealing soft buckle 403, and the sealing soft buckle 403 and the discharge hole 21 are plug-in mounted.
