Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a rinsing and observation device, and more particularly to a rinsing and observation device for the oral cavity of cancer patients after radiotherapy, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] Head and neck tumors encompass three main categories: neck tumors, otolaryngological tumors, and oral and maxillofacial tumors. Oral and maxillofacial tumors commonly include various oral cancers, such as tongue cancer, gingival cancer, and buccal cancer. As another important component of head and neck tumors, oral and maxillofacial tumors have a broad scope and are often closely related to patients' quality of life. Within this field, various oral cancers, such as tongue cancer, gingival cancer, and buccal cancer, have attracted considerable attention due to their high incidence and severe impact on patients' oral function and appearance. Therefore, post-radiotherapy oral care is particularly important; oral irrigation and observation devices, as medical devices specifically designed for oral tumor patients, have emerged in this context.
[0003] While current oral irrigation and observation devices on the market meet the oral care needs of head and neck cancer patients after radiotherapy to some extent, there are still some areas for improvement in actual use. In particular, the mandibular plate in these devices is often fixedly mounted on a support, and its angle cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the specific needs of the patient, making it difficult for different patients to obtain the best comfort experience during irrigation treatment. In addition, another significant problem is that the water tank design in existing devices usually does not have a heating function. This means that the irrigation water enters the patient's mouth directly without being heated, which may cause discomfort to the patient. Especially when the water temperature is too low, it may not only irritate the oral mucosa and affect the comfort of the irrigation process, but may also delay the recovery process of oral tissues to some extent.

The base 20 secures the horizontal plate 17 and the water tank 7. An electric telescopic column 18 allows the support plate 1 to move vertically, adjusting the height of the mandibular plate 5 for patients of different heights. The guide rod 19 further guides and limits the movement of the support plate 1.
[0032] In use, first place the oral irrigation device in a suitable working location. Then, add an appropriate amount of water to the water tank 7 through the water inlet pipe 22, and adjust the temperature control range of the temperature controller 9. The detection probe of the temperature controller 9 is used to detect the water temperature inside the water tank 7. When the water temperature is lower than the temperature control range of the temperature controller 9, the heating rod 8 is immediately activated. Conversely, when the water temperature is higher than the temperature control range of the temperature controller 9, the heating rod 8 is deactivated, and the water temperature is controlled. Next, the patient sits on a stool next to the irrigation device. The height of the mandibular plate 5 is adjusted according to the patient's height. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic column 18, the support plate 1 and the mandibular plate 5 can be flexibly adjusted vertically to ensure that the patient's mandible is close to the mandibular plate 5. At this time, the angle of the mandibular plate 5 can also be adjusted according to the patient's needs by adjusting the knob 604 to rotate the worm gear 602. The worm gear 601, in conjunction with the meshing connection, drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the support 4 and the mandibular plate 5 to adjust their angles. This allows for flexible adjustments based on the patient's specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort for different patients during irrigation treatment. The nozzle 10 is then moved closer to the patient's mouth via the shaping water pipe 1104. The water pump 1101 is then activated, working in conjunction with the suction pipe 1102, the outlet hose 1103, the shaping water pipe 1104, and the nozzle 10 to spray water appropriately into the patient's mouth for irrigation. The rinsed water is collected in the water tank 16, and the patient's mouth is observed using the adjustable light 12 to monitor the recovery. Finally, the positions of the shaping branch pipe 15 and the water tank 1104 are adjusted, the water tank 16 is removed, the wastewater is poured out, and the water tank 16 is disinfected.
