Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices, and in particular to a finger cot for opening the mouth during anesthesia. Background Technology
[0002] When performing general anesthesia for minor surgeries, laryngeal mask airways are often the first choice for anesthesiologists due to their simplicity, convenience, and potential for minimal damage to the patient's throat. However, because of their relatively large size, anesthesiologists often need to open the patient's mouth at least three finger widths to ensure proper placement in the ideal position (the distal end of the mask occupies the entire hypopharynx, directly opposite the upper esophageal sphincter, and close to the posterior cricoid cartilage) for optimal ventilation. Clinically, doctors often use a special technique to open the mouth: placing the thumb against the lower molar (gum) and the index finger against the upper molar (gum) at one corner of the mouth, using the staggered placement of these two fingers to open the patient's mouth to the required size. However, this technique often faces challenges such as patient muscle stiffness, temporomandibular joint fixation, and sharp teeth, making finger injury highly likely during the procedure. The same issues arise when inserting an endoscope through the patient's mouth.
[0003] Therefore, utility model patents such as CN211985353U (disclosed as a dental mouth opener) and CN221888446U (disclosed as a mouth opener with mouth opening measurement function) have emerged to support the patient's oral cavity.
[0004] However, during use, it was found that the existing mouth-opening instruments have a relatively simple structure and cumbersome operation steps, which affects the efficiency of mouth opening. In addition, the existing mouth-opening instruments are easy to block the patient's oral cavity, making it inconvenient for doctors to insert the endotracheal tube or endoscope into the patient's oral cavity, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an anesthesia mouth-opening assistive finger cot. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anesthesia oral opening assist finger cot. The doctor puts the limiting mechanism on the index finger and squeezes the support mechanism with the middle finger and thumb to close the support mechanism. The doctor then inserts the support mechanism into the patient's mouth. The elasticity of the elastic mechanism causes the support mechanism to open, thus supporting the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the anesthesia oral opening assist finger cot.
[0006] This utility model provides an oral cavity opening assistive finger cot for anesthesia, including a support mechanism; it also includes a limiting mechanism, an elastic mechanism and an exhaust mechanism, with the support mechanism and the elastic mechanism both mounted on the limiting mechanism;
[0007] The limiting mechanism limits the supporting mechanism, the supporting mechanism works with the elastic mechanism to support the patient's oral cavity, and the venting mechanism inflates the elastic mechanism.
[0008] The doctor places the limiting mechanism on the index finger and squeezes the support mechanism with the middle finger and thumb to close it. The doctor then inserts the support mechanism into the patient's mouth. The elasticity of the elastic mechanism causes the support mechanism to open, providing support for the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the anesthesia-assisted oral cavity opening finger cot.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a finger sleeve body and a limiting ring. The limiting ring is rotatably fitted onto the finger sleeve body, and both the inner ring of the finger sleeve body and the outer ring of the limiting ring are provided with mounting grooves. The doctor puts the finger sleeve body on his index finger and operates the support mechanism, thereby improving the convenience of using the anesthesia-assisted finger sleeve to open the oral cavity.
[0010] Preferably, the support mechanism includes two sets of support frames, one end of each set of support frames is installed in the mounting groove of the finger sleeve body and the limiting ring, and the front and rear ends of the two sets of support frames are provided with anti-slip surfaces; the doctor squeezes the two sets of support frames with the middle finger and thumb respectively, causing the limiting ring to rotate on the finger sleeve body, closing the two sets of support frames, making it convenient to insert the other end of the two sets of support frames into the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0011] Preferably, the other end of the two sets of support frames is bent at 90°; after the other end of the two sets of support frames is inserted into the patient's mouth, the doctor's hand is located on the side of the patient's mouth, reducing the obstruction of the doctor's hand and the limiting mechanism to the front of the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the anesthesia-assisted oral opening finger cot.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic mechanism includes two sets of springs and a telescopic tube. The two ends of the two sets of springs and the telescopic tube are respectively installed on two sets of support frames, and the telescopic tube is located between the two sets of springs. One end of the telescopic tube is provided with a quick-connect interface, and the other end of the telescopic tube is provided with an exhaust valve. After the other ends of the two sets of support frames are inserted into the patient's oral cavity, the two sets of support frames are released. Through the elasticity of the two sets of springs, the two sets of support frames are separated, opening the patient's oral cavity, thereby improving the practicality of the oral cavity opening assist finger cot for anesthesia.
[0013] Preferably, each of the two sets of support frames is provided with a silicone sleeve at the other end, and each of the two sets of silicone sleeves is provided with a limiting groove; after the other end of the two sets of support frames is inserted into the patient's oral cavity, the patient's upper and lower teeth are respectively located in the limiting grooves of the two sets of silicone sleeves, thereby improving the stability of the anesthesia-assisted oral cavity opening finger cot in supporting the patient's oral cavity.
[0014] Preferably, the exhaust mechanism includes an airbag, a first one-way valve, a second one-way valve, an exhaust pipe, and a quick connector. The first and second one-way valves are respectively installed on both ends of the airbag, and the quick connector is installed on the second one-way valve through the exhaust pipe. When some patients experience excessive muscle stiffness after anesthesia, making it difficult to open the patient's mouth using the elasticity of the two sets of springs, the exhaust valve is closed, and the quick connector is inserted into the quick connector. By squeezing the airbag, the air inside the airbag passes through the second one-way valve, the exhaust pipe, and the quick connector in sequence into the telescopic tube, causing the telescopic tube to expand and extend. Then, the patient's mouth is opened through the two sets of support frames, thereby improving the practicality of the oral cavity opening assist finger cot used for anesthesia.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the doctor puts the limiting mechanism on the index finger and squeezes the support mechanism with the middle finger and thumb to close the support mechanism. The doctor then inserts the support mechanism into the patient's mouth. Through the elasticity of the elastic mechanism, the support mechanism opens to support the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the anesthesia-assisted finger cot for opening the mouth.

[0030] The doctor places the main body 1 of the finger cot on the index finger, and uses the middle finger and thumb to squeeze the two sets of support frames 3 respectively, causing the limiting ring 2 to rotate on the main body 1 of the finger cot, closing the two sets of support frames 3. Then, the other end of the two sets of support frames 3 is inserted into the patient's mouth. At the same time, the doctor's hand and the limiting mechanism are located on the side of the patient's mouth. Through the elasticity of the two sets of springs 4, the two sets of support frames 3 are separated, so that the two sets of silicone sleeves 8 support the patient's upper and lower teeth respectively, opening the patient's mouth. The doctor then inserts the endotracheal tube or endoscope into the patient's mouth, thereby improving the practicality of the anesthesia-assisted oral cavity opening finger cot.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an oral cavity opening assistive finger cot for anesthesia includes a support mechanism; it also includes a limiting mechanism, an elastic mechanism and an exhaust mechanism, with the support mechanism and the elastic mechanism both mounted on the limiting mechanism;
[0033] The limiting mechanism limits the supporting mechanism, the supporting mechanism works with the elastic mechanism to support the patient's oral cavity, and the venting mechanism inflates the elastic mechanism.
[0034] The limiting mechanism includes a finger sleeve body 1 and a limiting ring 2. The limiting ring 2 is rotatably fitted onto the finger sleeve body 1, and mounting grooves are provided on the inner ring of the finger sleeve body 1 and the outer ring of the limiting ring 2.

[0036] The other end of the two sets of support frames 3 is bent at 90°;
[0037] The elastic mechanism includes two sets of springs 4 and telescopic tubes 5. The two ends of the two sets of springs 4 and telescopic tubes 5 are respectively installed on two sets of support frames 3, and the telescopic tubes 5 are located between the two sets of springs 4.
