[0002] In the medical field, ear canal drug delivery is a common treatment method, especially for diseases such as otitis media and external auditory canal infections.

[0003] Traditional ear canal drug delivery methods typically involve dripping medication into the ear canal using a dropper. However, this method suffers from uneven drug distribution and leakage, affecting treatment efficacy. To address these issues, researchers have begun exploring novel ear canal drug delivery devices to improve the uniform distribution and delivery efficiency of the medication. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of traditional ear canal drug delivery methods, which typically involve dripping medication into the ear canal using a dropper. These methods suffer from uneven drug distribution and easy leakage, thus affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, this invention proposes an ear canal drug delivery device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ear canal drug delivery device includes a needle for containing a drug solution, and a connecting tube for allowing the drug solution to pass through is fixed to the side end of the needle.

[0007] The needle tube has a sliding sealing plate inside, a connecting rod fixed to the side end of the sealing plate, a second pressing plate fixed to the side end of the connecting rod, and a first pressing plate fixed to the surface of the needle tube.

[0008] The surface of the syringe is fixed with an inner ring with a notch, and the surface of the inner ring with a notch is fixed with an outer ring with a notch. An accommodating gap is formed between the outer ring with a notch and the inner ring with a notch. A set of limiting components is provided between the outer ring with a notch and the inner ring with a notch. The limiting components are used to control the amount of medicine injected into the syringe.

[0009] A feeding tube is sleeved on the surface of a connecting tube for administering medication into the ear canal. The surface of the feeding tube is evenly provided with multiple inlets for uniformly delivering medication into the ear canal.

[0010] A sealing plug is disposed on the surface of the feed tube for temporarily sealing the ear canal.

[0011] In one possible design, the limiting component includes an external thread on the surface of the inner ring of the notch, a nut is threadedly connected to the surface of the inner ring of the notch, a limiting ring slides within the accommodating gap, the limiting ring is located below the nut, the limiting ring and the nut are in compressive contact, a connecting post slides within the first pressing plate, and the connecting post is fixed between the limiting ring and the second pressing plate.

[0012] In one possible design, the surface of the nut is fixed with an anti-slip ring.

[0013] In one possible design, the surface of the connecting pipe is fixed with a threaded inner ring, the surface of the threaded inner ring is threadedly connected with a threaded outer ring, and the feeding pipe is fixed to the side end of the threaded outer ring.

[0014] In one possible design, the surface of the feed tube is provided with external threads, and the sealing plug is threadedly connected to the surface of the feed tube.

[0015] In one possible design, a silicone semi-circular head is fixed to the bottom end of the feeding tube.

[0016] In this application, during use, according to the medication requirements, the nut is moved to move on the surface of the inner ring of the notch. After the nut is adjusted to the correct position, the connecting tube is placed into the medicine bottle. By pulling the second pressing plate, the second pressing plate moves the sealing plate through the connecting rod, thus extracting the medicine liquid from the medicine bottle. The second pressing plate moves the limiting ring upward through the connecting column. The limiting ring is located below the nut. When the limiting ring contacts the bottom of the limiting ring, it is limited by the limiting ring and cannot continue to pull the second pressing plate. This allows for quantitative extraction of medicine liquid, ensuring the accuracy of the dosage. Subsequently, the feeding tube is screwed and fixed to the surface of the connecting tube. The position of the feeding tube is fixed by the threaded inner ring being threaded to the surface of the threaded outer ring.

[0017] By rotating the sealing plug on the surface of the feeding tube and adjusting it to the appropriate position, the feeding tube is inserted into the ear canal. The sealing plug is used to temporarily seal the tube and prevent the medication from spilling out. Pressing the second pressing plate can push the medication into the feeding tube, which then passes through multiple silicone semi-circular tips into the ear canal for medication administration.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the ear canal drug delivery device, by designing a connecting tube and multiple inlets, can achieve uniform distribution of the drug solution and improve drug delivery efficiency;

[0019] In this invention, the ear canal drug delivery device can precisely control the amount of drug injected into the needle by setting a limiting component and adjusting the position of the limiting ring, thereby meeting the treatment needs of different patients.

[0020] This invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, uniform drug delivery, and strong applicability, and can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of ear canal drug delivery and the patient's comfort. Attached Figure Description
