Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an oral retractor. Background Technology

[0002] An oral retractor is an instrument used to open the mouth during medical procedures, typically in emergency situations, surgery, or dental treatments. By separating the patient's upper and lower teeth, the oral retractor keeps the mouth in a stable open position, providing the doctor with a clear field of vision. This is especially important for medical procedures that require prolonged manipulation, as it reduces patient fatigue caused by prolonged mouth opening.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 202320519598.X, which discloses an oral retractor. The retractor includes a support body with arc-shaped ends and a through groove. Auxiliary grooves communicating with the through grooves are formed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the support body. An upper dental tray and a lower dental tray are slidably connected within the auxiliary grooves. Tooth grooves are formed on the opposite sides of the upper and lower dental trays. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the support body. This oral retractor, by increasing the angle of the pull rod, allows the upper and lower dental trays to move opposite each other, thus adjusting the size of the oral cavity opening. This facilitates treatment and observation of the oral cavity by medical staff. Furthermore, the restriction of the upper and lower dental trays prevents the patient's mouth from closing during treatment, ensuring safety and allowing medical staff to perform normal oral care.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent can separate the patient's upper and lower teeth, its supporting body is also located in the patient's oral cavity. When supporting the patient's upper and lower teeth, the supporting body will also obstruct the operating field of the patient's oral cavity, which can easily affect the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of the patient's oral cavity. At the same time, its upper and lower dental trays are inconvenient to clean and are prone to bacterial growth.

[0005] Therefore, oral retractors are urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
