Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a net for preventing accidental swallowing and aspiration, and more particularly to a dental net for preventing accidental swallowing and aspiration, belonging to the field of medical devices. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical dental procedures, a variety of instruments are used, from large extraction forceps to small ball drills, as well as small parts such as abutments, screws, and crowns used in implant restoration. These instruments may fall into the patient's mouth, leading to accidental swallowing or aspiration. Therefore, it is essential to design anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration nets.

[0003] Existing anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration devices or apparatuses include, for example, a Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN220676159U) that discloses an anti-swallowing device for dental implants, which uses hooks to fix a mesh baffle in the patient's mouth; and another example is the anti-aspiration device for oral general anesthesia surgery in a Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN211724302U), which uses an inflatable balloon inserted into the mouth to isolate the oral cavity from the pharynx.

[0004] The existing anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration devices or apparatus have the following technical drawbacks: On the one hand, they are implemented by using rigid or expandable supports, which occupy a lot of oral space, resulting in the compression of the operating space for medical staff, thus affecting the surgical process and efficiency; on the other hand, patients' oral conditions vary, and each person's oral cavity shape and size are different. Existing anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration devices or apparatus need to be designed and provided in multiple models to meet different size requirements, which increases the manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides a dental anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration mesh.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] This embodiment discloses a dental anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration mesh, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a flexible protective film body 1;

[0030] The main body 1 of the flexible protective patch is made of water-resistant flexible material, which can be one of the following materials that can be bent at will: waterproof wax paper, aluminum foil, plastic film or cloth, or any combination of the above materials to form a composite material, as long as it can ensure that it will not melt or break down for a long time in the humid and hot environment of the oral cavity, ensure sufficient structural strength, and be non-toxic and harmless.

[0031] Based on the characteristics of the oral cavity and pharynx, the irregular shape of the flexible protective patch body 1 is designed so that the diameter of the inscribed circle of the middle part of the flexible protective patch body 1 is greater than or equal to 4cm, which is larger than the pharynx of the patient's oral cavity.

[0032] Furthermore, the front end of the flexible protective sticker body 1 has an arc-shaped protrusion 1a for attaching to the upper palate of the human body; the rear end of the flexible protective sticker body 1 has a long strip protrusion 1b on each side, and the long strip protrusion 1b is forked into two attachment units, which are respectively used to attach to the inner and outer gums of the mandibular alveolar ridge of the human body.

[0033] Several through holes 4 are provided in the middle of the flexible protective patch body 1 to achieve ventilation; the through holes 4 are circular or arbitrary polygonal in shape, so that the widest diameter of the through holes 4 is less than or equal to 1mm, so as to prevent medical devices and other oral particles from falling into the digestive or respiratory tract, while not affecting the patient's breathing and swallowing saliva.

[0034] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, a waterproof adhesive 5 is provided on the back of the flexible protective patch body 1. Specifically, the back of the arc-shaped protrusion 1a and the elongated protrusion 1b are provided with waterproof adhesive 5 to meet the usage requirements of the flexible protective patch body 1 for adhesion and fixation in the oral cavity. That is, the arc-shaped protrusion 1a is attached to the upper palate of the human oral cavity with waterproof adhesive; the two elongated protrusions 1b are attached to the soft tissue surface of the inner and outer gingiva of the patient's mandibular alveolar ridge with waterproof adhesive to avoid being applied to the tongue.

[0035] The waterproof adhesive 5 uses medical-grade hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive, which is applied to designated positions (the back of the arc-shaped protrusion 1a and the elongated protrusion 1b) of the flexible protective film body 1 while in a heated and molten state. After cooling and curing, it forms an adhesive layer. The medical-grade hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive can bond to skin tissue and gums under slight pressure, while leaving no residue and causing no damage to the adhered object when removed.

[0036] In addition, considering that the oral environment is usually quite moist, although medical hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive has good waterproof properties, there is still a risk of adhesive failure when exposed to a humid environment for a long time. Therefore, the dental anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net disclosed in this embodiment is further provided with a sublingual anti-detachment rope 3 to prevent the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net from falling off; First, as Figure 1 As shown, two elongated protrusions 1b avoid the tongue from both sides to form a tongue avoidance zone. A sublingual anti-slip rope 3 is provided in the tongue avoidance zone. The sublingual anti-slip rope 3 is made of flexible food-grade silicone material, which is soft, comfortable, elastic, resistant to kinking and deformation, and has high tear resistance. The two ends of the sublingual anti-slip rope 3 are fixed to the flexible protective patch body 1. When the flexible protective patch body 1 is attached and fixed in the mouth, the sublingual anti-slip rope 3 is placed under the tongue, thereby effectively preventing the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net from falling off.

[0037] Preferably, the sublingual anti-slip cord 3 is specifically configured as follows: Figure 2 As shown, for ease of description, its structure is divided into a silicone rope body 31 and an anti-detachment disc 32 integrally fixed at both ends of the silicone rope body 31.

[0038] Correspondingly, the flexible protective film body 1 is provided with an installation hole 6 for installing the under-tongue anti-slip rope 3. The installation hole 6 allows the anti-slip disc 32 to pass through after compression and deformation. After passing through the installation hole, the anti-slip disc 32 returns to its original shape. Its diameter is larger than the diameter of the installation hole, thereby preventing the installed under-tongue anti-slip rope 3 from detaching from the flexible protective film body 1.

[0039] Preferably, in order to further optimize the performance of the anti-swallowing and anti-absorption net in this embodiment, symmetrical reinforcing areas 1c protruding outward are provided on both sides of the flexible protective patch body 1. The back of the reinforcing area 1c is provided with waterproof adhesive 5 in the same way as the arc-shaped protrusion 1a or the long strip protrusion 1b. The reinforcing area 1c is attached to the soft tissue surface of the inner side of the cheeks by the waterproof adhesive.

[0040] Furthermore, a soft magnetic patch 2 is fixed to the front of the reinforced area 1c with waterproof adhesive; the soft magnetic patch is magnetic and can be bent (has flexibility), is low in cost, and can attract small metal devices that fall into the mouth, further increasing safety.

[0041] In addition, before this anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net is used, it is protected with release paper. The release paper with the same shape as the flexible protective strip body 1 is pasted on with waterproof adhesive 5. When this anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net is used, the release paper is torn off to expose the adhesive and applied to the soft tissue around the inside of the patient's mouth.

[0042] It should also be noted that this anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net is made of flexible waterproof material. When using it, medical staff can appropriately cut the main body 1 of the flexible protective film according to the shape and size of the patient's mouth to make its shape more consistent with the shape of the patient's mouth.

[0043] Alternatively, to make it easier for medical staff to select the appropriate model based on the size of the patient's mouth, the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net products can be made in different sizes, such as large, medium, and small protective nets. The main body of the protective nets of different models are the same, and they can be scaled proportionally along the outer dimensions.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This embodiment discloses a dental anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration mesh, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes a flexible protective film body 1;

[0046] The difference between the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net of this embodiment and that of Embodiment 1 is that it is provided with a retractable extension 1d, and an anti-detachment bracket 8 is installed based on the retractable extension 1d to replace the reinforcement area 1c and the sublingual anti-detachment rope 3 of Embodiment 1.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, specifically: symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flexible protective film body 1 are outwardly protruding shrinkable extensions 1d, and anti-detachment brackets 8 are inserted at the shrinkable extensions 1d. The shrinkable extensions 1d extend along the gums on the inner side of the cheeks of the mouth, and the anti-detachment brackets 8 are blocked by the gums at this position, thereby playing a role in reinforcement and stability.

[0048] Waterproof adhesive can be applied to the back of the retractable extension 1d to enhance the adhesion and fixation; the anti-detachment bracket 8 is made of food-grade elastic plastic material and has a supportive blocking effect.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, for ease of description, the anti-detachment bracket 8 is divided into a main rod 81 and a reinforcing head 82 integrally fixed at both ends of the main rod 81;

[0050] Accordingly, such as Figure 4 As shown, each retractable extension 1d has two vertically aligned insertion openings 7. The main body rod 81 is driven by the reinforcing head 82 at one end to pass through the two vertically aligned insertion openings 7 simultaneously, and the reinforcing heads 82 at both ends are exposed. The surface of the reinforcing head 82 is provided with anti-slip protrusions to increase friction.

[0051] Therefore, in use, the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net of this embodiment is made by peeling off the release paper on the back of the flexible protective film body 1, attaching the arc-shaped protrusion 1a to the palate of the human mouth with waterproof adhesive, attaching the two elongated protrusions 1b to the soft tissue surface of the gingiva on the inner and outer sides of the patient's mandibular alveolar ridge with waterproof adhesive, and extending the contraction extension 1d along the gingiva on the inner side of the cheeks of the mouth, so that the anti-dislodgement bracket 8 is held against the outer side of the gingiva, thereby achieving good fixation of the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net in the oral cavity.

[0052] In summary, the oral cavity anti-swallowing and aspiration net disclosed in this invention uses a flexible material as the main protective structure. It is applied to the oral soft tissue. The flexible material can be bent and cut arbitrarily, and can be produced in different sizes. The application method minimizes space occupation. Therefore, this anti-swallowing and aspiration net has the advantages of flexible use and small space occupation. On the one hand, it provides medical staff with more intraoral operating space; on the other hand, it enriches product forms. Its low cost makes this anti-swallowing and aspiration net, as a disposable medical device, highly hygienic and safe, and easy to promote and use.

[0053] Furthermore, by utilizing the sublingual anti-dislodgement rope structure or anti-dislodgement bracket structure to compensate for the unreliability of the patch, a good fixation of the anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net is achieved in the oral cavity. Moreover, the entire anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net is attached to the inside of the patient's oral cavity and, together with the sublingual anti-dislodgement rope or anti-dislodgement bracket, achieves good fixation, so as to give full play to the role of this anti-swallowing and anti-aspiration net in preventing instruments or particles from slipping into the patient's oral cavity during treatment.

[0054] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
