Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasound, in particular to a transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece. Background Art

[0002] Transesophageal echocardiography is a new cardiovascular ultrasound technology developed in recent years. In transesophageal echocardiography, the esophageal probe is inserted from the esophagus to the left atrium behind the heart to observe the internal lesions of the heart from behind the heart. The purpose is to eliminate the influence of lung gas on the examination of the heart. Transesophageal echocardiography has opened up a new window for imaging examination of the heart and large blood vessels due to its special exploration position and high-quality image display, expanding the scope of transthoracic echocardiography and making up for the shortcomings of TTE. Therefore, it has gradually been widely used in clinical practice.

[0003] When performing transesophageal echocardiography, patients are usually anesthetized. In order to facilitate the transesophageal ultrasound ultrasound tube to enter the esophagus, a mouthpiece is required. When the ultrasound tube contacts the patient's tongue root or epiglottis, the patient will bite. The patient's bite may cause the mouth to close, making it impossible for the ultrasound tube to enter the esophagus smoothly or to obtain a clear ultrasound image. This may prolong the examination time and increase the difficulty of the operation. In addition, the strong bite pressure may cause the ultrasound tube inside the mouthpiece to be squeezed or damaged, affecting the transmission and quality of the ultrasound image, and even causing damage to the ultrasound equipment, increasing the maintenance cost and operation risk. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece, which solves the problem that strong biting pressure may cause the ultrasonic pipeline inside the mouthpiece to be squeezed or damaged, affecting the transmission and quality of ultrasonic images, and even causing damage to the ultrasonic equipment, increasing maintenance costs and operational risks.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece, comprising a bite tube, a tongue depressor body, at least two pads and at least two support members;

[0006] The tongue depressor body is integrally formed and arranged on the rear side of the bite tube, and at least two pads are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bite tube, and at least two pads are distributed in an eight-shaped shape to support the upper and lower teeth;

[0007] At least two of the support members are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the occlusal tube, and the cross-sections of the front sides of at least two of the support members are arc-shaped, so as to support the inner wall of the occlusal tube.

[0008] Furthermore, an extension channel is provided inside the bite tube and the tongue depressor body, and the two extension channels are interconnected, so that the ultrasonic tube can extend along the extension channel to the inside of the esophagus.

[0009] Furthermore, a gap for inserting the ultrasonic tube is reserved between opposite sides of the two support members.

[0010] Furthermore, the support member and the pad are both elastic plastic members.

[0011] Furthermore, a baffle is sleeved on the outer side of the bite tube, and the baffle is located at the front side of the two pads.

[0012] Furthermore, the baffle is flush with the front end surface of the bite tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer side of the bite tube is provided with baffles at intervals in the upper and lower parts, and the two baffles are flush with the rear end surface of the bite tube.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece effectively prevents the patient from biting the mouthpiece during the examination by providing a pad and a support, thereby avoiding squeezing or damage to the ultrasonic pipeline inside the mouthpiece, protecting the integrity and stability of the ultrasonic pipeline, and providing stable support by supporting the patient's upper and lower teeth and the inner wall of the bite tube, while preventing the patient's teeth from loosening and falling off, causing suffocation, making the ultrasonic examination process safer and more reliable.

[0016] 2. The transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece, when the bite tube and the tongue depressor body are inserted into the patient's mouth, the baffle is fitted against the patient's lips. At this time, the two baffles are respectively fitted against the inner sides of the upper and lower teeth, thereby playing a limiting role, which can effectively prevent the bite tube and the tongue depressor body from moving back and forth after being inserted into the oral cavity, improve the stability of the bite tube and the tongue depressor body after being inserted into the patient's oral cavity, and the tongue depressor body is pressed on the patient's tongue, which can effectively prevent tongue injury.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-2 In this embodiment, a transesophageal ultrasonic tongue depressor mouthpiece is used to support the mouthpiece to prevent the patient from biting the mouthpiece during the extension of the ultrasonic tube, which may cause the ultrasonic tube inside the mouthpiece to be squeezed or damaged.

[0022] Specifically, it includes an occlusal tube 1, a tongue depressor body 2, at least two pads 3 and at least two support members 4; the tongue depressor body 2 is integrally formed and arranged on the rear side of the occlusal tube 1, at least two pads 3 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the occlusal tube 1, and at least two pads 3 are distributed in an eight-shaped shape to support the upper and lower teeth; at least two support members 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the occlusal tube 1, and the cross-sections of the front sides of at least two support members 4 are arc-shaped to support the inner wall of the occlusal tube 1.

[0023] During actual use, the bite tube 1 and the tongue depressor body 2 are inserted into the patient's mouth, and the patient's upper and lower teeth are respectively in contact with the upper and lower sides of the bite tube 1. At the same time, the patient's upper and lower teeth are simultaneously bitten on the two pads 3, and the two pads 3 support the patient's upper and lower teeth. In addition, two support members 4 are provided on the inner wall of the bite tube 1, so that the bite tube 1 plays a supporting role, thereby preventing the patient from biting the bite tube 1 flat.

[0024] In the actual setting, by providing the pad 3 and the support 4, the patient is effectively prevented from biting the mouthpiece during the examination, thereby avoiding squeezing or damage to the ultrasonic tube inside the mouthpiece, protecting the integrity and stability of the ultrasonic tube, and at the same time providing stable support by supporting the patient's upper and lower teeth and the inner wall of the bite tube 1, making the ultrasonic examination process safer and more reliable.

[0025] In detail, in order to facilitate the ultrasonic tube to effectively extend into the patient's esophagus, an extension channel 5 is provided inside the bite tube 1 and the tongue depressor body 2, and the two extension channels 5 are interconnected so that the ultrasonic tube can extend along the extension channel 5 to the inside of the esophagus.

[0026] In actual settings, the ultrasonic tube can enter the esophagus along the two extension channels 5. The extension channels 5 designed in this way enable the ultrasonic tube to smoothly extend into the patient's esophagus, thereby improving the smooth progress of the ultrasonic examination. In addition, the design of the extension channels 5 reduces the resistance and difficulties that may be encountered when the ultrasonic tube enters the esophagus, thereby helping to improve the smoothness and success rate of the operation.

[0027] Furthermore, a gap for inserting the ultrasonic pipe is reserved between opposite sides of the two support members 4, and both the support members 4 and the pad 3 are elastic plastic members.

[0028] In actual settings, the support member 4 and the pad 3 of the elastic plastic member have certain flexibility and elasticity, and can adapt to the shape and movement of the patient's oral cavity, so as to better fix the ultrasonic tube and provide stable support.

[0029] It should be noted that a baffle 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the occlusal tube 1, and the baffle 6 is located on the front side of the two pads 3. The baffle 6 is flush with the front end surface of the occlusal tube 1, and baffle bars 7 are arranged on the outer side of the occlusal tube 1 at upper and lower intervals, and the two baffle bars 7 are flush with the rear end surface of the occlusal tube 1.

[0030] In actual settings, after the bite tube 1 and the tongue depressor body 2 are inserted into the patient's mouth, the baffle 6 fits against the patient's lips. At this time, the two baffles 7 are respectively fitted against the inner sides of the upper and lower teeth, thereby playing a limiting role. This can effectively prevent the bite tube 1 and the tongue depressor body 2 from moving back and forth after being inserted into the oral cavity, thereby improving the stability of the bite tube 1 and the tongue depressor body 2 after being inserted into the patient's oral cavity, and the tongue depressor body 2 is pressed on the patient's tongue, which can effectively prevent tongue injury.
