Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a medical device, and in particular to a mouth expander for oral examination of chemotherapy patients. Background Art

[0002] During oral examinations of chemotherapy patients, a mouth expander is needed to separate the cheeks and gums as much as possible to facilitate observation of the oral mucosa or gums after chemotherapy. A common method is for doctors or nurses to hold retractors on both sides to lift or separate the cheeks outward, which requires more manpower. There is also a V-shaped mouth expander that is inserted into the patient's mouth and uses elastic force to open to the left and right to separate the cheeks. Although this mouth expander saves manpower, the direction of expansion is basically unadjustable, and the expanded cheeks may not be convenient for doctors to observe the chemotherapy in the mouth.

[0019] Below, the oral expander for oral examination of chemotherapy patients of the present application is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The oral expander for oral examination of chemotherapy patients of the present application includes: a frame body 10 and two pulling arms 20.

[0021] The frame body 10 is formed in a "∩" shape, including a top wall, a left wall, and a right wall; a first screw hole 15 is formed on the top wall, and second screw holes 16 are respectively formed on the left wall and the right wall; a first screw rod 11a is installed in the first screw hole 15; a first rubber pin is formed at the end of the first screw rod 11a, and the first pin is used to support the top of the subject's head; second screw rods 11b are respectively installed in the second screw holes 16 on the left wall and the right wall, and a second rubber pin is formed on the end of each second screw rod 11b, and the two second pins are respectively supported on the left and right sides of the subject's head, thereby fixing the frame body to the subject's head through the first pin and the two second pins.

[0022] Circular holes 17 are formed on the left wall and the right wall respectively; third screw holes 18 are formed on the front sides of the left wall and the right wall respectively; third screw rods 13 are installed in the third screw holes 18 respectively; for each third screw hole 18, it is connected to the corresponding circular hole 17, wherein the end of the installed third screw rod 13 points to the center of the corresponding circular hole 17.

[0023] For each pulling arm 20, it includes a ball 21, and the pulling arm 20 is installed in the corresponding circular hole 17 through the ball 21; the inner circumferential surface of the circular hole 17 is formed with an arc-shaped concave surface corresponding to the outer surface of the ball 21, and the end of the third screw 13 rests on the outer surface of the corresponding ball 21, thereby fixing the ball 21 in the corresponding circular hole 17.

[0024] For each ball 21, a fourth screw hole is formed across the center of the ball 21, and a fourth screw rod 23 is installed in the fourth screw hole. Both ends of the fourth screw rod 23 extend to the outside of both sides of the corresponding fourth screw hole respectively; a curved expansion plate 24 is formed at one end of the fourth screw rod 23; the expansion plate 24 is located in the frame body; a groove is formed on the side of the expansion plate 24 that contacts the lips, and the groove is used to accommodate the edge portion of the lips.

[0025] A plurality of fifth screw holes 14 are formed on the rear side of the frame body 10 , and a fifth screw rod 12 is installed in each of the fifth screw holes 14 ; the fifth screw rod 12 is used to support the frame body 10 at a predetermined height when the subject is in a supine position.

[0026] A hand wheel 22 is formed on one end of each ball 21 at the fourth screw hole away from the expansion plate 24 . The hand wheel 22 is used to rotate the corresponding ball 21 to adjust the insertion length of the corresponding fourth screw rod 23 .

[0027] During use, if the subject is in an upright or sitting position, the frame is secured to the subject's head via the first and two second screws. Adjusting the insertion depth of the first screw also adjusts the height of the two traction arms, thereby determining whether the traction arms are pulling horizontally, diagonally upward, or diagonally downward. The second head of the second screw is typically secured to the subject's temple, but can also be secured to the outside of the cheekbone. After loosening the third screw, the ball rotates within the circular hole, adjusting the extension direction of the fourth screw, which corresponds to the direction of the traction force line of the traction arms. By rotating the ball with the handwheel, the depth of insertion of the fourth screw can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the traction force exerted by the traction arms on the cheeks. After adjusting the traction force and the direction of the traction force line, the third screw is re-tightened and the ball is secured, thereby fixing the traction direction and force of the fourth screw. After the expansion plate is placed over the edge of the lip through the mouth, it pulls the cheek away from the gums based on the adjusted force and line of force, creating ample space for observation. The grooves in the expansion plate securely hold the lip edge in place, preventing it from slipping out. If the patient is recumbent, the frame's height can be adjusted using multiple fifth screws.
