Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to medical treatment instrument, concretely points to a kind of infant eye drop auxiliary device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Eye drops are an important drug delivery form for treating and preventing eye diseases. However, when administering eye drops to infants, a difficult problem often arises: infants resist eye drops. This resistance may be due to psychological fear of the drug or discomfort during the eye drop process, which not only makes the eye drop process difficult, but also can prevent the drug from reaching the infant's eyes accurately, thereby affecting the treatment effect, and even causing accidental injury due to the infant's struggle.

[0003] In known eye drop processes for infants, manual operation by a parent or medical staff is usually required. This process often makes it difficult to control the infant's head movements and eyelid closure, making it difficult to accurately drop the eye drops into the eye. Some eye drop auxiliary tools on the market improve the accuracy of the drops to some extent, but still have problems such as complex design, difficult operation, and difficult cleaning. In addition, existing eye drop auxiliary tools often do not take into account the psychological and physiological characteristics of infants, lack sufficient affinity and comfort, and cannot effectively reduce the resistance of infants. How to reduce the resistance of infants during the eye drop process and improve the accuracy and comfort of the drops has been an important topic for medical workers to study. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an infant eye drop auxiliary device that can effectively improve the cooperation, accuracy, and comfort of infant eye drops.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the infant eye drop auxiliary device designed by the utility model can attract the infant's attention to the eye drop device and accurately squeeze out the drug solution from the eye drop bottle. The special feature is that the auxiliary device includes a straight sleeve for accommodating the eye drop bottle body section and an inclined sleeve for accommodating the eye drop bottle nozzle section. The lower end of the straight sleeve is fixedly connected to the large opening end of the inclined sleeve, and the small opening end of the inclined sleeve is used to limit the extension and retraction of the eye drop bottle nozzle section, thereby achieving axial positioning of the eye drop bottle. A pressing handle is provided on the wall of the straight sleeve for squeezing the eye drop bottle body section. The outer periphery of the straight sleeve and the inclined sleeve is provided with a conspicuous wrapping body for attracting the infant's attention to the eye, thereby smoothly completing the eye drop process for infants.

[0006] As a preferred solution, the straight sleeve is a cylindrical sleeve with a uniform caliber, and the inclined sleeve is a reverse truncated cone sleeve with a gradually reduced caliber. In this way, the appearance of most eye drops bottles on the market can be adapted, increasing its universality of application.

[0007] Further, the reverse truncated cone-shaped inclined sleeve is provided with internal threads, which can cooperate with the external threads on the eye drops bottle nozzle section, so as to lock the precise position of the eye drops bottle through the threads, prevent it from moving axially in the eye drops dropping auxiliary device, and further control the accuracy of lifting the droplets by the pressing handle.

[0008] As a preferred solution, the upper end of the straight sleeve is provided with a pair of strip-shaped openings on both sides of the sleeve wall, which are used to accommodate a pair of pressing handles. The lower end of the pressing handle is rotatably connected to the straight sleeve through a connecting shaft, so that the pressing handle can press the eye drops bottle body section in the direction of the straight sleeve cavity with the connecting shaft as the fulcrum. The use of a pair of pressing handles to symmetrically press the eye drops bottle can ensure that the bottle body section is balanced and the droplets are accurate and stable.

[0009] Further, the pressing handle has a vertically arranged pressing section and an outwardly arranged handle section; the pressing section is movably embedded in the strip-shaped opening of the straight sleeve 1, and its lower end is rotatably connected to the straight sleeve through a connecting shaft, and its upper end is integrally connected with the handle section; the handle section is arranged outside the strip-shaped opening of the straight sleeve. Because the handle section is arranged obliquely to the eye drops bottle and the pressing section is arranged parallel to the eye drops bottle, the pressure is balanced when pressing, and the amount of droplets can be easily and accurately controlled.

[0010] Further, the inside of the pressing section of the pressing handle is provided with a flange that abuts against the eye drops bottle body section. In this way, the eye drops bottle can be fixed and effectively pressed.

[0011] As a preferred solution, the eye-catching wrapper is a soft material wrapper. For example, a soft plastic or silicone is used to make the wrapper, which can enclose the eye drops bottle nozzle section in the center, avoiding the risk of the nozzle tip injuring the baby during eye drop application due to the baby's struggle.

[0012] Further, the eye-catching wrapper is an animal-shaped wrapper with bright colors. For example, a goldfish-shaped wrapper with an attractive image can attract the attention of babies and reduce their resistance and fear.

[0013] Further, the eye-catching package is provided with a sound and light audio device. In this way, the soft light, cheerful music and pleasant sound emitted by the sound and light audio device can attract the attention of the baby, and when the baby opens his eyes and gazes at the eye drop auxiliary device, the pressing handle can be quickly operated to squeeze the eye drop bottle body, so that the eye drop can be accurately dropped into the eyes of the baby.

[0014] Further, the straight sleeve, the inclined sleeve, the pressing handle and the connecting shaft are integrally formed in plastic material, which can utilize the elastic deformation characteristics of the plastic to complete the relative rotation between the pressing handle and the straight sleeve, so that the drop can be conveniently and accurately controlled, and the waste of eye drops is avoided. The eye-catching package is detachably connected with the straight sleeve and the inclined sleeve, for example, being movably sleeved or pasted on the outer periphery of the straight sleeve and the inclined sleeve, so that different eye-catching packages can be replaced when needed, so as to maintain the freshness and attention of the baby.

[0015] The utility model has the advantages that: the designed straight sleeve and inclined sleeve and pressing handle are combined together and have a synergistic effect, the eye drop bottle for the baby is placed in the straight sleeve and the inclined sleeve, the drop can be conveniently, quickly and accurately controlled, the accuracy of the baby in dropping the eye drops is improved, and the waste of eye drops is avoided; the eye-catching package designed to surround the outer periphery of the straight sleeve and the inclined sleeve can attract the attention of the baby's eyes, make the baby consciously open his eyes, and promote the smooth completion of the process of the baby dropping the eye drops. Especially, the eye-catching package is made of soft material and completely surrounds the eye drop bottle nozzle section in the center, which can prevent the baby from being accidentally injured when struggling. The eye-catching package with bright color and animal shape has excellent affinity, which can reduce the resistance and fear of the baby. The sound and light audio device arranged on the eye-catching package can more effectively attract the attention of the baby, further improve the success rate and comfort of the eye drop, reduce the operation difficulty of the parents and medical staff, and improve the overall treatment experience.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but these embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Currently, eye drop bottles purchased with hospital prescriptions or from pharmacies are generally made of materials with elastic deformation properties, such as plastic. They mainly consist of three parts: the bottle body, the dropper tip, and the dropper cap (this known structure is not shown in the accompanying drawings). The bottle body stores the eye drops and can be squeezed and deformed, allowing the eye drops to flow into the dropper tip. The dropper tip is used to dispense the eye drops and control the drop volume. The dropper cap covers the dropper tip when not in use, preventing contamination.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 Embodiment 1 illustrates an auxiliary device for administering eye drops to infants and young children, primarily composed of a straight sleeve 1, an angled sleeve 2, a press handle 3, and a prominent packaging body 5. The straight sleeve 1 is a cylindrical sleeve with a uniform diameter, used to accommodate the body section of the eye drop bottle; the angled sleeve 2 is an inverted frustum-shaped sleeve with a gradually narrowing diameter, used to accommodate the nozzle section of the eye drop bottle. The lower end of the straight sleeve 1 is fixedly connected to the large opening end of the angled sleeve 2, and the small opening end or the wall of the angled sleeve 2 abuts against the nozzle section of the eye drop bottle, thereby restricting the axial expansion and contraction of the eye drop bottle and achieving axial positioning of the eye drop bottle. When some eye drop bottles have external threads on the nozzle section that mate with the nozzle cap, a corresponding internal thread can be selected on the inverted frustum-shaped angled sleeve 2, allowing the angled sleeve 2 to thread-mate with the nozzle section of the eye drop bottle, locking the precise position of the eye drop bottle through the threads. The pressing handle 3 is located on the wall of the straight sleeve 1 and is used to squeeze the body of the eye drop bottle. The eye-catching wrapper 5 is located on the outer periphery of the straight sleeve 1 and the inclined sleeve 2 to attract the attention of infants and young children, so as to smoothly complete the process of instilling eye drops into infants and young children.

[0025] Specifically, a pair of strip-shaped openings 101 are provided on the upper end of the straight sleeve 1, extending downwards on both sides of the sleeve wall. The pair of strip-shaped openings 101 are used to place a pair of pressing handles 3. The lower end of the pressing handles 3 is rotatably connected to the straight sleeve 1 through a connecting shaft 4, so that the pressing handles 3 can squeeze the bottle body of the eye drop bottle towards the inner cavity of the straight sleeve 1 with the connecting shaft 4 as the fulcrum.

[0026] In the embodiment, the pressing handle 3 is mainly composed of a vertically arranged extrusion section 301 and a handle section 302 arranged outwardly, the extrusion section 301 is movably embedded in the strip-shaped opening 101 of the straight sleeve 1, the lower end of the extrusion section 301 is rotatably connected with the straight sleeve 1 through the connecting shaft 4, and the upper end of the extrusion section 301 is integrally connected with the handle section 302, and the handle section 302 is arranged outside the strip-shaped opening 101 of the straight sleeve 1 in an upward extending manner. A flange 303 is further arranged inside the extrusion section 301 of the pressing handle 3, the flange 303 abuts against the bottle body section of the eye drop bottle, and the eye drop bottle can be more stably fixed, which is beneficial to accurately control the extrusion of the eye drop bottle.

[0027] In the embodiment, the straight sleeve 1, the inclined sleeve 2, the pressing handle 3 and the connecting shaft 4 are integrally formed by using plastic material, and the eye-catching wrapping body 5 is detachably connected with the straight sleeve 1 and the inclined sleeve 2. The integrally formed structure is simple to manufacture and low in cost, the pressing handle 3 has certain hardness and rigidity and certain elastic deformation capacity, the relative rotation between the pressing handle 3 and the straight sleeve 1 can be smoothly completed, the dripping is ensured to be convenient and accurate, and the waste of eye drops is avoided. The eye-catching wrapping body 5 can be movably sleeved or pasted on the outer periphery of the straight sleeve 1 and the inclined sleeve 2, and different design images of the wrapping body can be replaced according to needs, so that the freshness and attention of the baby are maintained.

[0028] More specifically, the eye-catching wrapping body 5 is preferably an animal-shaped wrapping body with soft material and bright color. In the embodiment, the wrapping body is made of soft plastic or silica gel, and the dripping nozzle section of the eye drop bottle is surrounded in the center, so that the baby is not injured by the dripping head of the dripping nozzle section when struggling during eye drop. The wrapping body with bright color and animal image can effectively attract the attention of the baby and reduce the resistance and fear of the baby to eye drop. Some sound and light devices can also be installed on the eye-catching wrapping body 5, and the soft light, cheerful music and pleasant sound emitted by the sound and light devices can further attract the attention of the baby, so that the resistance of the baby to eye drop can be more effectively transferred or offset.

[0029] The above-mentioned auxiliary device for administering eye drops to infants and young children is used as follows: Unscrew the dropper cap on the dropper section of the eye drop bottle, and insert the bottle body and dropper section of the eye drop bottle into the straight sleeve 1 and the inclined sleeve 2 of this auxiliary device, so that they abut against each other and are axially positioned. If the dropper section of the eye drop bottle has external threads, rotate the eye drop bottle or the straight sleeve 1 to make the external threads on the dropper section engage with the internal threads on the inclined sleeve 2 and tighten them. Then, fit the eye-catching wrapper 5 onto the outside of the straight sleeve 1 and the inclined sleeve 2. When parents or medical staff administer eye drops to infants and young children, they can first squeeze or manipulate the eye-catching wrapper 5 to make it emit a soft light, pleasant music, or a pleasant sound to attract the attention of the infants and young children; when the infants and young children look at the auxiliary device of this utility model and their eyes are wide open, quickly operate the pressing handle 3 to squeeze the bottle body section of the eye drop bottle in the straight sleeve 1, so that the eye drops can be accurately dripped into the infants and young children's eyes.

[0030] like Figure 5 Example 2 illustrates another auxiliary device for administering eye drops to infants and young children. The structure and connection of the straight sleeve 1, the angled sleeve 2, the pressing handle 3, and the connecting shaft 4 are the same as in Example 1. The difference lies in the design of the eye-catching package 5, which is shaped like a goldfish. Together with the pair of pressing handles 3, it forms a complete image of a goldfish with its tail spread open. This design is lively, gentle, and cute. Combined with sound and light effects, it can create a stronger affinity with infants and young children, effectively attracting their attention and reducing their resistance and fear of eye drops, thereby improving the accuracy and comfort of administering eye drops.
