Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, and in particular to a cleaning brush for sound-producing buttons. Background Technology

[0002] Total laryngectomy is an important surgical procedure for treating diseases such as laryngeal cancer and hypopharyngeal cancer. Post-operatively, patients require a permanent tracheostomy in the neck to maintain breathing. However, this surgery results in the loss of normal voice function, severely impacting their quality of life. To help laryngeal patients regain their voice, a vocal cord implant has been developed as an artificial voice-generating device. Vocal cords are typically made of biocompatible materials such as silicone and are implanted into the trachea and esophagus.

[0003] The use of the vocal cord has brought good news to patients, but it has also brought challenges in cleaning and care. Since the vocal cord is implanted between the trachea and esophagus, it is prone to accumulate secretions and food residue. If not cleaned promptly, it can not only affect the normal use of the vocal cord but also cause infections, odors, and even endanger the patient's health. Existing cleaning brushes mainly have a brush head at the front of the handle for cleaning the device. However, such cleaning brushes have certain shortcomings in clinical application, such as: 1. Due to the different conditions of each patient, some patients cannot keep the handle and brush head straight during cleaning, requiring bending at the front of the handle. Even the bending angle varies depending on the patient's condition, and existing cleaning brushes cannot meet these needs. 2. The length of the cleaning brush is fixed, but the depth of each patient's trachea and esophagus is different. Therefore, some patients may experience discomfort when using the cleaning brush as the tip may touch the esophageal wall. Therefore, a vocal cord cleaning brush is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0025] In this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a vocal cord cleaning brush, including a brush head 1, a connecting rod 2 connected to the brush head 1, a handle 3, and a bendable adjustment part 4. The adjustment part 4 is made of any one of the following materials: alloy, heat-rebound plastic, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomer. All of these materials have a certain degree of deformation capability. For example, alloys, especially aluminum alloys, allow the adjustment part to be bent to the required angle during use and maintain its bent state, making it suitable for different patients. In addition, materials such as heat-rebound plastic, polypropylene, and thermoplastic elastomers can also be bent after heating, and then set after cooling. The operation is very simple. The adjustment part 4 allows the user to bend it according to the patient's condition, making the brush head 1 and connecting rod 2 form the required angle, making it easier to clean the patient's vocal cords and improving the applicability of this utility model. The front end of the connecting rod 2 is provided with a socket 5. The rear end of the brush head 1 is inserted into the socket 5. The insertion depth between the brush head 1 and the socket 5 can be adjusted according to the needs. This setting can also be adapted to the depth of the patient's trachea and esophagus, avoiding the brush head 1 being too long and touching the inner wall of the patient's trachea and esophagus, causing discomfort. The end of the connecting rod 2 away from the brush head 1 is fixedly connected to the adjustment part 4. The end of the adjustment part 4 away from the connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the handle 3.

[0026] To prevent the device from entering the patient's vocal cords too deeply, a limiting piece 6 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 2 near the brush head 1. The limiting piece 6 is located outside the patient's trachea and esophagus and is larger than the stoma opening, which can form a barrier to prevent the device from entering the patient's vocal cords too deeply.

[0027] The rear end of the brush head 1 is prismatic, and the shape of the insertion hole 5 matches the shape of the rear end of the brush head 1. When the brush head 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 5, rotating the connecting rod 2 can drive the brush head 1 to rotate, which makes it easier to clean the sound knob.

[0028] To prevent the tip of the brush head 1 from damaging the patient's esophageal wall, the tip of the brush head 1 is equipped with an elastic ball head 7. This allows the tip of the brush head 1 to rub against the patient's esophageal wall in case of operational errors, thus preventing or reducing damage.

[0029] Specifically, the handle 3 has a protrusion 8 in the middle for easy gripping. The protrusion 8 makes it easier for the user to grip the handle 3 and perform cleaning operations more effectively.

[0030] In this invention, since the brush head 1 and the connecting rod 2 are connected by an insertion joint, there is a risk that the brush head 1 may fall off. If the brush head 1 falls into the patient's trachea or esophagus during use, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, a connecting rope 9 is provided between the brush head 1 and the connecting rod 2 to connect the two. The two ends of the connecting rope 9 are fixedly connected to the brush head 1 and the connecting rod 2 respectively. With the fixing of the connecting rope 9, even if the brush head 1 falls off the connecting rod 2, the brush head 1 will not fall into the patient's trachea or esophagus, thus avoiding this risk.

[0031] Specifically, the side wall of the connecting rod 2 is provided with a connecting ring 10 for connecting with the connecting rope 9. The connection ring 10 makes it easier to connect the connecting rope 9 and the connecting rod 2.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting piece 6 is provided with a notch 11 for avoiding the connecting rope 9. The notch 11 allows the connecting rope 9 to extend directly from the connecting rod 2 to the brush head 1.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting rod 2 and the adjusting part 4 are movably connected. The movable connection includes the form of plug-in connection, threaded connection, bolt connection, snap-fit ​​connection, etc. The purpose is to facilitate the removal of the connecting rod 2 from the adjusting part. In this way, when changing the cleaning brush, only the connecting rod 2 and the brush head 1 need to be removed for replacement. The handle 3 and the adjusting part 4 can be disinfected and reused repeatedly, which can further reduce costs. The fewer parts that need to be replaced, the more environmentally friendly it is.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
