Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to an ear cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Ear cleaning usually refers to cleaning of the external auditory canal. The external auditory canal is a curved tube from the external auditory meatus to the eardrum, with a total length of about 2.1-2.5 cm. The inner surface of the external auditory canal is covered with a layer of skin, which is closely attached to the perichondrium or periosteum below and is not easy to move. The skin in the cartilaginous part contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands and tinea glands, which are similar to sweat glands. Their secretions are tinea, which protects the ear canal. Tinea is mixed with desquamated epithelium and dust to form earwax. Earwax accumulation not only affects hearing but also makes people feel uncomfortable. Normal saline is often needed to clean the patient's external auditory canal. In addition, some patients have more viscous substances accumulated in the external auditory canal due to pathological reasons. After medical staff remove them, they also need to thoroughly clean the patient's external auditory canal.

[0003] Existing devices for cleaning the external auditory canal include an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology disclosed in announcement number CN219516807U, in which a baffle is provided to reduce the penetration of cleaning liquid into the eardrum, and at the same time prevent the cleaned earwax from flowing into the ear canal. For the fine earwax adhering to the ear wall, a brush assembly is used to brush it so that it adheres to the brush assembly and is taken out of the ear canal when the cleaner is taken out, thereby improving the ear canal cleaning effect; however, the baffle and the brush assembly are fixed in size and cannot adapt to the changes in the ear canal diameters of different patients, resulting in the blocking effect of the baffle or the cleaning effect of the brush only acting on part of the external auditory canal, and the expected effect cannot be achieved.

[0021] The liquid adding part comprises a liquid adding cylinder 21 , a uniform liquid outlet hole 22 is arranged on the outer side of the liquid adding cylinder 21 , and a liquid pusher 23 is connected to the top of the liquid adding cylinder 21 , so that the cleaning liquid pushed into the liquid adding cylinder 21 can fully contact with the patient's external auditory canal.

[0022] The bottom of the sealed bag 11 is made of non-expandable material, thereby preventing the bottom of the sealed bag 11 from expanding and squeezing the eardrum, causing damage to the eardrum.

[0023] A first inflatable airbag 12 is provided on the top of the sealed portion, and the first inflatable airbag 12 is connected to the sealed bag 11, so that the sealed bag 11 is more convenient to inflate and deflate.

[0024] The inner side of the expansion tube 31 is slidably connected to the outer side of the liquid adding part, and the top of the expansion tube 31 is connected to a second inflatable airbag 33, so that the expansion tube 31 can rotate or move up and down to clean the earwax in the ear canal more comprehensively. At the same time, the second inflatable airbag 33 ensures the convenience of inflation and deflation of the expansion tube 31.

[0025] The first inflatable airbag 12 and the second inflatable airbag 33 are both provided with a valve body.

[0026] The liquid pusher 23 is a syringe with a connecting tube; by injecting cleaning liquid into the liquid adding cylinder 21 using the syringe, the amount of each squeeze can be accurately controlled to avoid excessive overflow of cleaning liquid or too little cleaning liquid to completely soak the external auditory canal.

[0027] Instructions for use: When in use, insert the uninflated cleaning device into the patient's external auditory canal, insert it near the eardrum, and inflate the sealed bag 11. When the patient feels a slight squeeze in the ear canal, stop inflating, and then inflate the expansion tube 31, so that the soft brush body 32 is in full contact with the patient's external auditory canal, and then rotate or move the expansion tube 31 up and down, use the soft brush body 32 to perform preliminary cleaning of the earwax in the external auditory canal, and promote the earwax adhering to the patient's external auditory canal to fall off, and then move the expansion tube 31 to the uppermost end, and then use the liquid pusher 23 to push the liquid pusher 23 to the earwax in the external auditory canal.
