Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ophthalmic medical instruments, in particular to a meibomian gland clamp for treating dry eyes. Background Art

[0002] When dry eye therapists perform dry eye meibomian gland unblocking treatment on patients, they need to use meibomian gland clamps for dry eye treatment. When dry eye therapists use the meibomian gland clamps currently on the market to treat patients, most patients will feel uncomfortable and afraid of the treatment due to the hard material of the meibomian gland clamps. Some patients even feel a knife-like or needle-like pain in their eyes. In addition, if some eye therapists operate improperly or patients do not cooperate with the treatment, the meibomian gland clamps may scratch the cornea or cause damage to the eye mucosa, which will increase the patient's pain. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a meibomian gland clamp for treating dry eyes. After a soft rubber cover is put on each clamping head of the meibomian gland clamp for treating dry eyes, due to the soft texture of the soft rubber cover, when a dry eye therapist performs dry eye meibomian gland dredging treatment on the patient, the patient's eyes can be prevented from feeling pain and damage to the patient's eyes can be effectively avoided.

[0004] The utility model provides a meibomian gland clamp for treating dry eyes, comprising two clamp arms, the rear ends of the two clamp arms are connected together, and the front ends of the two clamp arms form clamp heads; the outside of each clamp head is covered with a soft rubber sleeve, and each soft rubber sleeve is tightly matched with the corresponding clamp head.

[0005] The utility model provides a soft rubber sleeve on each clamping head of the meibomian gland clamp for dry eye treatment. Since the soft rubber sleeve is soft in texture, when a dry eye therapist performs dry eye meibomian gland dredging treatment on a patient, pain in the patient's eyes can be avoided, and damage to the patient's eyes can be effectively avoided. Moreover, under the action of the soft rubber sleeve, when the dry eye therapist performs dry eye meibomian gland dredging treatment on the patient, due to the friction between the soft rubber sleeve and the eye, more oil is secreted by the patient during meibomian gland dredging, so as to facilitate the dry eye meibomian gland dredging treatment.

[0006] In a possible embodiment, a plurality of anti-skid ribs are provided on the inner wall of each soft rubber sleeve, and the plurality of anti-skid ribs on the inner wall of each soft rubber sleeve are spaced apart along the extension direction of the corresponding chuck; by providing a plurality of anti-skid ribs on the inner wall of each soft rubber sleeve, and the plurality of anti-skid ribs on the inner wall of each soft rubber sleeve are spaced apart along the extension direction of the corresponding chuck, an anti-skid effect can be played when the chuck drives the soft rubber sleeve to perform dry eye meibomian gland dredging treatment on the patient.

[0007] In a possible embodiment, a grid pattern is provided on the inner and outer walls of each chuck, and the grid pattern is used to increase the friction between the soft rubber sleeve and the chuck; after the grid pattern is provided on the inner and outer walls of each chuck, after the soft rubber sleeve is put on the outside of the chuck, the friction between the soft rubber sleeve and the chuck can be increased under the action of the grid pattern, thereby effectively preventing the soft rubber sleeve from freely detaching from the chuck, that is, the firmness of the soft rubber sleeve and the chuck after assembly can be improved.

[0008] In a possible embodiment, a plurality of through holes spaced apart along the extension direction of the clamp arm are provided in the middle of each clamp arm; by providing a plurality of through holes spaced apart along the extension direction of the clamp arm in the middle of each clamp arm, when the fingers squeeze the middle of the clamp arm to bring the two clamps close to each other, the friction between the fingers and the clamp arm can be increased to achieve an anti-slip effect.

[0009] In a possible embodiment, an expansion portion is provided in the middle of each clamp arm, and the expansion portion expands outwardly along the upper and lower directions of the clamp arm; by providing the expansion portion in the middle of each clamp arm, and the expansion portion expands outwardly along the upper and lower directions of the clamp arm, when the fingers squeeze the middle of the clamp arm to bring the two clamps closer to each other, the contact area between the fingers and the clamp arm can be increased, thereby facilitating the fingers to squeeze the two clamp arms.

[0010] In a possible embodiment, a spring is provided between the two clamp arms and near the rear end of the clamp arms, and both ends of the spring are respectively welded and fixed to the inner wall of one of the clamp arms; by providing the spring between the two clamp arms, when the fingers stop squeezing the two clamp arms, under the action of the spring, the spring can assist the two clamp arms to open, that is, it can facilitate the opening of the two clamp arms.
