Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an oral cryotherapy medical ice lolly. Background Art

[0002] In a variety of oral diseases, it is often necessary to apply a liquid medicine coating and ice treatment to the affected area inside the patient's oral cavity (implementing wound liquid medicine infiltration + cryotherapy). For example, radiotherapy-induced / chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM / CIOM) refers to acute and chronic oral mucosal injuries mainly characterized by oral mucosal erosion and ulcers that occur in cancer patients after receiving radiotherapy and / or chemotherapy. The use of liquid medicine infiltration + cryotherapy can achieve significant treatment effects. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the growth and differentiation of oral mucosal epithelial cells are interfered, resulting in abnormal cell cycles and apoptosis of mucosal epithelial cells, causing acute and chronic mucosal inflammation. According to statistics, the incidence of oral mucositis in patients receiving head and neck tumor radiotherapy is close to 100%, 20% - 40% in patients receiving traditional chemotherapy, and about 80% in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation pretreatment. The use of wound liquid medicine infiltration + cryotherapy can significantly reduce the incidence of oral mucositis in chemotherapy patients.

[0003] Currently, various frozen foods such as ice cubes, ice lollies, and ice creams sold on the market are supported by a flat strip-shaped wooden stick as the skeleton for the ice cube (or other frozen) part and for consumers to hold. The supporting force and supporting area of this strip-shaped wooden stick for the ice cube are relatively small, and it is easy to fall off quickly when only a small part of the ice cube remains. The overall attachment time of the ice cube to the wooden stick is short (for ice lolly and other foods for consumption, they are usually designed to facilitate the melting of the ice cube in a short time for easy consumption); moreover, the way of holding the wooden stick usually causes the liquid melted from the ice cube to drip onto the consumer's hand, dirtying the hand and affecting the user experience. In addition, in existing ice lolly and other products, the freezing liquid contains a certain number of bacteria and cannot meet the clinical aseptic requirements.

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the frozen ice part is prone to fall off, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN 201621305873.4 discloses a 3D ice cream stick, which includes a strip-shaped body part and a handle part. The body part is arranged in the middle of the bottom end of the handle part, and a number of through holes are arranged on the body part. For the 3D ice cream stick designed by this utility model, the adhesion between the ice cream and the ice cream stick can be increased through the through holes arranged on the main body part. However, the designed ice cream stick of this utility model patent is still a deformed strip shape, and the adhesion of its through holes to the remaining small pieces of ice cream after most of it has melted is still not strong, and it is easy to fall off. The total volume of ice that can be attached to its upper part is small, and the overall melting time of the ice cream during consumption is still short (usually all melted within 10 minutes), and it cannot effectively prevent the melted liquid from dripping on the hand during use. Therefore, the designs of existing similar products cannot be applied to the medical device field that requires the ice melting time to be extended as much as possible and the liquid will not drip on the user's hand (to prevent contamination), and cannot directly implement cryotherapy to treat patients' oral diseases.

[0005] Therefore, there is currently a lack of medical freezing products that can meet various requirements and be applied to oral cryotherapy. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a medical ice lolly for oral cryotherapy. Through the structural improvement of the supporting bracket and the design of the sterile frozen ice cubes, it can provide stable support for the remaining small part of the ice cubes, avoid falling off, and greatly extend the overall melting time of the ice cubes. In particular, it can significantly extend the cooling time of a single ice lolly in the oral cavity to more than 30 minutes, enabling it to meet various requirements such as sterility, long cooling time, and no hand contamination, meeting the standards of clinical medicine use, so that it can be used to implement wound liquid infiltration + cryotherapy to treat various oral diseases of patients and improve the user experience of patients.

[0007] The present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A medical ice lolly for oral cryotherapy, which includes an oral treatment sterile liquid frozen ice cube and a supporting bracket. The oral treatment sterile liquid frozen ice cube is fixed on the supporting bracket after being frozen; the supporting bracket includes an ice cube core rod and a handle; the ice cube core rod is a hollow thin-walled cylinder, and a plurality of through holes are arranged on its thin wall; the ice cube core rod of the supporting bracket and the handle are integrally injection molded using medical plastic.

[0009] The supporting bracket further includes a support plate horizontally arranged between the ice cube core rod and the handle, and the ice cube core rod, the handle and the support plate are integrally injection molded.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The oral cryotherapy medical popsicle product provided by the present utility model overcomes the deficiencies of similar products in multiple aspects such as inability to meet aseptic requirements, short overall melting time, and easy hand contamination. Through the structural design improvement of the support bracket and the aseptic frozen ice cubes, it can meet the aseptic requirements, significantly extend the overall melting time of the ice cubes (the icing duration of a single popsicle in the oral cavity also reaches more than 30 minutes), and can also provide stable support for the remaining small part of the ice cubes to prevent them from falling off. Thus, this medical popsicle can meet various requirements such as asepsis, long icing time, and no hand contamination, meet the standards for the use of clinical medical instruments, and can implement wound liquid infiltration + cryotherapy to treat various oral diseases of patients and improve the user experience.

[0012] 2. The oral cryotherapy medical popsicle product provided by the present utility model, through the design that the ice cube core rod is a hollow thin-walled cylinder with multiple through holes on the thin wall, can increase the overall contact area between the frozen aseptic liquid medicine ice cubes for oral treatment and the ice cube core rod after freezing, improve the structural firmness, effectively extend the melting time of the ice cubes, especially can prevent the ice cubes from falling off when only a small part of the frozen ice cubes remains, and can extend the residence time of the frozen aseptic liquid medicine ice cubes for oral treatment in the oral cavity to more than 30 minutes. In the liquid medicine of the frozen aseptic liquid medicine ice cubes for oral treatment of the present utility model, there are drugs for treating oral ulcers. The longer the frozen aseptic liquid medicine ice cubes for oral treatment stay in the oral cavity, the longer the contact time between the drug and the wound, and the better the treatment effect.

[0013] 3. The oral cryotherapy medical popsicle product provided by the present utility model, with the provided tray, on the one hand, can greatly increase the support area and support force for the frozen aseptic liquid medicine ice cubes for oral treatment, so that a larger volume of liquid medicine can be frozen on the support bracket, can also directly increase the total amount of liquid medicine and the melting time of a single popsicle product, and improve the effect of wound liquid infiltration + cryotherapy; at the same time, it can prevent the liquid medicine from dripping on the user's hand or other places after melting, avoid contamination, and improve the user experience.

[0014] 4.

[0029] Embodiment

[0030] See Figures 1-9 , a medical ice lolly for oral cryotherapy provided by the present invention is a targeted design to meet the needs of patients with oral diseases for local icing (cold compress) and liquid medicine coating treatment of the affected area, so that each part (frozen ice cube and supporting bracket) can meet the standards of clinical medical instruments, and can implement the wound liquid medicine infiltration + cryotherapy to treat various oral diseases of patients and improve the patient's use experience.

[0031] A medical ice lolly for oral cryotherapy includes a frozen ice cube 6 of sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment and a supporting bracket 7. The frozen ice cube 6 of sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is fixed on the supporting bracket 7 after freezing. After the liquid medicine melts, it is coated on the wound, playing the roles of icing and treatment at the same time; the supporting bracket 7 includes an ice cube core rod 3, a tray 4 and a handle 5. The tray 4 is horizontally arranged between the ice cube core rod 3 and the handle 5; the ice cube core rod 3 is a hollow thin-walled cylinder, and a plurality of through holes 2 are arranged on its thin wall 1, which are regularly or irregularly distributed; the ice cube core rod 3, the tray 4 and the handle 5 of the supporting bracket 7 are parts integrally injection-molded with medical plastics (such as PVC, PE, PP, etc.), with firm structure and easy to manufacture and disinfect.

[0032] The handle 5 is a vertical flat sheet, its upper end is connected to the tray 4, and the lower end is suspended, and the contour of the suspended lower end is arc-shaped.

[0033] The tray 4 is a horizontally arranged sheet with an oval outer contour, and its plane is perpendicular to the handle 5; its upper part can support a larger volume of frozen ice cube 6 of sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment to increase the total supply of liquid medicine of a single ice lolly product and extend the melting time.

[0034] The overall outer contour of the frozen ice cube 6 of sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is round at the top and square at the bottom. The lower end contacts the tray 4, and it passes through the thin wall 1 and the through holes 2 inside and is frozen on the ice cube core rod 3; after most of the frozen ice cube 6 of sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment melts, the liquid medicine ice cubes wrapped inside and outside the thin wall 1 of the ice cube core rod 3 can still maintain the integrity of the shape during the melting process through the support of the ice cube core rod 3 and are not easily broken and fallen off quickly; the final liquid medicine ice cubes can slowly melt inside the thin wall 1 and slowly flow out through the through holes 2 and be coated on the wound to extend the overall treatment time.

[0035] The liquid medicine for preparing the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is a sterile-treated liquid medicine, which contains effective treatment ingredients and can act on the wound through the oral cavity. Under the effect of icing, the treatment effect can be improved.

[0036] Therefore, in this embodiment, the ice cube core rod 3 is designed as a hollow thin-walled cylinder, and a plurality of circular through holes 2 are further provided on the thin wall 1 of the hollow cylinder. The through holes 2 are regularly or irregularly distributed on the thin wall 1, which can increase the contact area and structural stability between the frozen ice cube of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment and the ice cube core rod 3, make the adhesion between the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment and the ice cube core rod 3 stronger, extend the melting time of the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment, and prevent the ice cube from quickly falling off the supporting bracket 7 when only a small part of the ice cube remains during use.

[0037] The handle 5 is a vertical flat sheet, with its upper end connected to the tray 4 and its lower end suspended. The contour of the suspended lower end is arc-shaped. The arc design will not form sharp corners, giving the patient a comfortable feeling when holding the handle of the popsicle. The tray 4 is a horizontally arranged sheet with an oval outer contour and can support a larger volume of frozen ice cube 6. The overall outer contour of the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is round at the top and square at the bottom. The lower end contacts the tray 4, and it is arranged on the ice cube core rod 3 through the through hole 2 inside.

[0038] The frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment contains drugs for treating oral ulcers. The longer the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment stays in the oral cavity, the longer the contact time between the drug and the wound, and the better the treatment effect. Moreover, the upper end of the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is arc-designed to fit the shape of the oral cavity, enabling the drug to better contact the ulcer site and achieving a better treatment effect. The ice cube core rod 3 is attached to the middle position inside the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment, so that the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment will not melt unevenly around the ice cube core rod 3, which is likely to cause the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment to fall off. The lower surface of the frozen ice cube 6 of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment is attached to the tray 4, allowing the frozen ice cube of the sterile liquid medicine for oral treatment to melt normally during consumption, without dripping on the hand, soiling the hand, or contaminating other places.

[0039] The sample of the present utility model has been actually tested under confidentiality conditions. The actual test shows that the present utility model can be used as a sterile medical device to implement the clinical wound liquid infiltration + cryotherapy for treating various oral diseases of patients and improving the user experience of patients. For example, in the treatment process of patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis, on the one hand, our treatment purpose is to reduce the pain of patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis, and on the other hand, to prolong the residence time of the drug at the wound and enable the active ingredients in the drug to enter the wound. The icing effect of the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube of the present utility model on the wound can reduce the pain of the patient. At the same time, the sterile liquid medicine is prepared into a frozen ice cube similar to the oral cavity shape through a mold, which can also make the medicine better contact the wound; increasing the volume of the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube, increasing more liquid medicine, prolonging the melting time, so that the medicine can stay on the wound for a long time (a single popsicle product can maintain for more than 30 minutes, which is more than 3 times that of conventional products), and can achieve a good continuous icing and treatment effect; as the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube melts, the liquid medicine can be swallowed by the patient into the stomach to achieve the effect of treating both inside and outside.

[0040] The preparation method of the present utility model is as follows: First, prepare a sterile oral treatment liquid medicine, and then prepare a one-piece injection-molded support bracket 7 and sterilize it; then, under sterile conditions, put the support bracket 7 into a mold, and then add the liquid medicine into the mold and freeze for 5 - 10 minutes to solidify the liquid medicine and fix it on the support bracket 7. After demolding and packaging, the finished product is obtained.

[0041] In the above embodiment of the present utility model, through the combination of the uniquely designed support bracket and the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube, the contact area between the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube and the support rod is increased, the melting and falling off during normal consumption of the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube are reduced, the handle part is flattened to increase the holding feel, and the tray can prevent the melting and dripping of the sterile oral treatment liquid frozen ice cube onto the hand and contaminating the hand, achieving the technical effects of being convenient to use and greatly prolonging the icing treatment time of the low-temperature liquid medicine staying at the wound.

[0042] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model; any replacement and improvement made on the basis of not violating the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
