Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to a fixing device that prevents patients from accidentally inhaling loose teeth that fall out. Background Art

[0002] Comatose patients often need to be immediately checked for loose teeth upon admission to the hospital. These loose teeth must be effectively secured to prevent them from falling out and being accidentally inhaled into the trachea, potentially leading to suffocation. Furthermore, for intubated patients, the potential for loose teeth to fall out must be assessed before intubation, and any loose teeth must be secured to prevent them from being dislodged during the intubation procedure. Therefore, effective securing of loose teeth is essential for both comatose patients and those requiring intubation.

[0003] The current clinical method for fixing loose teeth is to use sutures to loop around the roots of the loose teeth, tie the movable teeth, and stick the tail end of the sutures to the patient's face with white tape. However, wearing it for a long time can easily cause the tape to loosen, and it can also easily cause the loose teeth to fall off during the process of changing body positions, causing secondary damage to the patient. CN114733026A discloses a stabilizing device suitable for loose teeth of patients with endotracheal intubation. The dental brace bags are respectively covered on the upper and lower rows of teeth of the patient. After that, the dental brace bags can be inflated using an air injection device until the dental brace bags are stably wrapped around the patient's teeth. However, this fixing device cannot achieve targeted fixation of loose teeth, and the setting of the double-row air bags cannot well guarantee the stability of tooth fixation.

[0004] Therefore, still need to develop a kind of device that can fix patient's loose tooth, to prevent the loose tooth from falling off and being sucked away. Utility Model Content
