Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of silicone ring pad technology, and in particular to an anti-pressure ear silicone ring pad. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, oral health is receiving increasing attention. Failure to promptly repair missing teeth can cause certain harms to the patient's physical and mental health, such as affecting chewing function, facial appearance, and even potentially leading to insufficient nutrient intake and triggering other diseases. Traditional removable dentures are inconvenient to wear and remove, and their restored chewing function is also low. While porcelain crowns do not require removal and restore a higher level of chewing function than removable dentures, they can damage adjacent teeth. Dental implants, on the other hand, do not require removal, can restore about 80% of chewing function, and do not damage adjacent teeth. Therefore, dental implants have become the preferred method for replacing missing teeth.

[0003] When treating a patient's teeth, the patient needs to lie in a dental chair. The chair usually has a recessed area at the head, allowing the patient's head to fit comfortably and be stabilized when lying down. The dentist typically stands to one side of the chair to perform procedures such as dental implants. When performing implant surgery on the left or right side of a tooth, the patient's head needs to be tilted to the right or left. When the head is tilted to the right or left, one ear is pressed against the recessed area of ​​the chair. The weight of the patient's head acts on the right ear, causing discomfort and pain. During dental treatment, this discomfort and pain can reduce the patient's cooperation during the procedure, thus decreasing surgical efficiency. Furthermore, prolonged pressure may increase postoperative pain and reduce patient satisfaction.

[0004] Among the related technologies, (1) memory foam is used as the main material, which includes two layers. The inner layer is cut into holes that fit the size of the ear according to the size of the patient's ear. The outer layer is cut according to the size of the head. Finally, the ear is clipped in the middle and a breathable adhesive film is used for fixation. Its disadvantage is that since the implantation surgery is performed under local anesthesia, the patient is awake and does not need to shave their head. The surgery is performed in the dental chair and the operation time is generally 30-90 minutes. If this method is used for implantation surgery, the patient is awake and the preoperative cutting and bandaging preparation time is too long. After bandaging, patients will feel tense and anxious, which will make them feel that the surgery will be very complicated. Also, after bandaging, the head is not suitable for surgery in the dental chair position. Implant patients do not need to shave their heads before surgery. The adhesive film is not firmly fixed and will stick to the patient's hair after the adhesive film is used. (2) Some people use sponge pads to make hollow pressure relief pillows and put their ears in the groove. The disadvantages are: the surface of the sponge is rough, the skin friction is large, the temperature will rise after friction, and the patient will feel uncomfortable. The sponge has water absorption function. If there is blood or disinfectant, it will soak into the sponge, which is not conducive to cleaning, disinfection and reuse in the later stage.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an anti-pressure ear silicone ring pad to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide an anti-ear pressure silicone ring pad, which facilitates the tight binding and fixation of the silicone pad to the dental chair headrest, ensuring that the silicone pad and neck support will not move or fall off during use. When the patient's head is tilted to the right or left, the perforated holes can fit well with the shape of the ear, effectively avoiding excessive local pressure that could compress the ear, thereby preventing ear pressure and improving the patient's comfort during dental treatment. Furthermore, the neck support provides even support for the patient's neck, distributing neck pressure, reducing the burden on neck muscles, and helping to maintain a natural and comfortable neck position, further improving the overall comfort of use.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: an anti-ear pressure silicone pad, comprising a silicone pad, wherein the top of the silicone pad has a hollow hole for inserting the ear, the diameter of the hollow hole decreasing from top to bottom, the top of the silicone pad has a first ventilation hole, the inner wall of the hollow hole has a second ventilation hole, and a binding component is provided on the silicone pad for binding and fixing the silicone pad to the headrest of the dental chair.

[0008] The further configuration of this application is as follows: the number of the first type of vent is set to several, and the several first type of vent is evenly distributed; the number of the second type of vent is set to several, and the several second type of vent is evenly distributed.

[0009] A further feature of this application is that the maximum diameter of the perforated hole is set to 5-8 cm.

[0010] A further feature of this application is that the top surface, side surface, and inner wall of the perforated hole of the silicone pad are all smooth surfaces.

[0011] A further feature of this application is that the bottom surface of the silicone pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] A further configuration of this application is as follows: the binding assembly includes two connecting ears, two straps, a female hook and loop fastener and a female hook and loop fastener, the two connecting ears are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the silicone pad, the two straps are respectively fixedly installed on the corresponding connecting ears, and the female hook and loop fastener and the female hook and loop fastener are respectively sewn and fixed on the corresponding straps, and the female hook and loop fastener and the female hook and loop fastener are mutually adhesive and fit together.

[0013] A further feature of this application is that a neck support pad is fixedly installed on one side of the silicone pad, and the neck support pad and the silicone pad are integrally formed.

[0014] A further feature of this application is that the top of the neck support pad has an arc-shaped surface structure.

[0015] A further feature of this application is that the top of the neck support pad has a plurality of evenly distributed perforations.

[0016] This application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. This application utilizes the silicone pad with progressively smaller diameter holes that fit the shape of the ear well.

[0025] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides an anti-ear pressure silicone pad, including a silicone pad 1. The top of the silicone pad 1 has a perforated hole 2 for insertion into the ear. The diameter of the perforated hole 2 decreases progressively from top to bottom, allowing it to better conform to the ear's contour and prevent ear pressure. The top of the silicone pad 1 has a first ventilation hole 3, and the inner wall of the perforated hole 2 has a second ventilation hole 4. The number of first ventilation holes 3 and the number of second ventilation holes 4 are both evenly distributed, effectively enhancing the breathability of the silicone pad 1 and preventing discomfort and stuffiness in the head and ear caused by prolonged use, thus improving patient comfort.

[0027] The silicone pad 1 is equipped with a binding assembly for securing it to the headrest of the dental chair. The binding assembly includes two connecting ears 7, two straps 8, a female Velcro 9, and a female Velcro 10. The two connecting ears 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the silicone pad 1, and the two straps 8 are fixedly installed on their respective connecting ears 7. The female Velcro 9 and female Velcro 10 are sewn and fixed to their respective straps 8. The female Velcro 9 and female Velcro 10 are mutually adhesive. Through the cooperation of the connecting ears 7, straps 8, and female Velcro 9 and female Velcro 10, the silicone pad 1 can be easily and quickly and securely bound to the headrest of the dental chair, ensuring that the silicone pad 1 will not easily shift during use and will always maintain a stable position, providing continuous and reliable ear protection for the patient.

[0028] In this embodiment, the maximum diameter of the perforated hole 2 is set to 5-8cm, so that the perforated hole 2 is suitable for normal-sized ears and is applicable to the general population.

[0029] In this embodiment, the top surface, side surface and inner wall of the hollow hole 2 of the silicone pad 1 are all smooth. This smooth surface is not only comfortable to the touch, but also does not easily cause friction damage to the patient's ear and surrounding skin during use. It is also easy to wipe clean and disinfect, keeping the silicone pad 1 hygienic and facilitating repeated use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the silicone pad 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, which can increase the friction between the silicone pad 1 and the dental chair headrest, further enhance the stability of the silicone pad 1 on the headrest, and effectively prevent the silicone pad 1 from affecting the use effect due to accidental slippage.

[0031] In this embodiment, a neck support pad 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the silicone pad 1. The neck support pad 5 is integrally formed with the silicone pad 1. The neck support pad 5 is used to effectively support the patient's neck. The top of the neck support pad 5 has an arc-shaped structure, which can conform to the physiological curve of the human neck and provide effective support for the neck when the patient is lying down, reducing neck fatigue. The top of the neck support pad 5 has multiple evenly distributed slots 6, which enhances the breathability of the neck, avoids the neck from feeling stuffy due to prolonged contact, and improves the overall comfort of use.

[0032] In this embodiment, it should be noted that both the neck support pad 5 and the silicone pad 1 are made of silicone material. During use, they are soft and comfortable, non-toxic, non-irritating to the skin, and do not absorb blood or disinfectant, making them easy to wipe clean and disinfect.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the working principle of the anti-pressure ear silicone ring pad provided in this application is as follows:

[0034] Place the silicone pad 1 in a suitable position on the headrest of the dental chair, then wrap the straps 8 on both sides around the headrest of the dental chair, and then tighten and fix the straps 8 by the mutual adhesion of the female Velcro 9 and the female Velcro 10. This completes the process of tightly binding the silicone pad 1 to the headrest of the dental chair, ensuring that the silicone pad 1 will not move or fall off during use.

[0035] After the device is fixed in place, the patient can lie on the dental chair with their head resting on the silicone pad 1 and their neck resting on the neck support 5. The dentist can then perform procedures such as dental implantation. The soft surfaces of the silicone pad 1 and the neck support 5 provide comfort to the patient, and the curved surface at the top of the neck support 5 conforms to the physiological curve of the neck, providing even support, dispersing neck pressure, reducing the burden on neck muscles, and helping to maintain a natural and comfortable neck position. Through the ventilation holes 1 3, 2 4, and 6, heat and moisture generated by the head and neck can be dissipated during use, preventing stuffiness and dampness caused by prolonged contact between the head and neck and the silicone pad 1 and neck support 5, further improving overall user comfort.

[0036] Depending on the dentist's treatment needs, when the patient's head needs to be tilted to the right or left, the ear is placed inside the perforated hole 2. The perforated holes 2, whose diameter decreases from top to bottom, fit the shape of the ear well. When the ear is placed inside the perforated hole 2, due to its adaptability, the pressure around the ear can be distributed more evenly, avoiding excessive local pressure that could compress the ear. This prevents the ear from being compressed, thereby improving the patient's comfort during dental treatment, enhancing humanized service, improving doctor-patient cooperation, improving work efficiency, and ultimately increasing patient satisfaction.

[0037] Later, the entire device can be removed by unfastening the mother hook and loop fastener 9 and the daughter hook and loop fastener 10, making it convenient for medical staff to wipe, clean and disinfect the silicone pad 1 and neck support pad 5, maintain hygiene, and can be reused multiple times.
