Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lacrimal duct irrigation tools, specifically to an arc-shaped lacrimal duct irrigation needle with visible scale. Background Technology

[0002] Lacrimal duct irrigation is a commonly used examination and treatment method in ophthalmology. It is mainly used to diagnose diseases such as lacrimal duct obstruction and stenosis, as well as to treat conditions such as dacryocystitis. During lacrimal duct irrigation, a syringe is generally used to inject medication. The irrigation needle at the tip of the syringe is inserted into the lacrimal duct to an appropriate depth, and then the medication is injected to irrigate. The irrigation medication can flow out from the nasal cavity or oral cavity. If the irrigation fluid flows out smoothly from the nasal cavity or oral cavity, it indicates that the lacrimal duct is patent; if there is resistance or reflux, it suggests that there may be obstruction or stenosis of the lacrimal duct.

[0003] However, existing lacrimal duct irrigation needles have some problems in practical applications. First, most traditional lacrimal duct irrigation needles have a straight needle structure, which does not conform to the physiological curvature of the human lacrimal duct. During irrigation, the straight needle is difficult to enter the lacrimal duct smoothly, which not only increases the patient's pain but may also cause lacrimal duct damage and affect the treatment effect. Second, existing irrigation needles lack clear and accurate scale markings, making it difficult for medical staff to accurately control the depth of the irrigation needle entering the lacrimal duct. This can easily lead to problems such as lacrimal duct perforation or incomplete irrigation due to excessive or insufficient needle insertion. In view of this, we propose a curved lacrimal duct irrigation needle with visible scale markings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a graduated, arc-shaped lacrimal duct irrigation needle to address the deficiencies mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A graduated, arc-shaped lacrimal duct irrigation needle includes an injection syringe. A connector is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the injection syringe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting a plug tube at the liquid outlet end of the injection syringe and a matching plug hole on the fixed connector, combined with the connection design of the limiting plug plate and the plug groove, prevents the fixed connector from rotating, and realizes a quick and stable connection between the injection syringe and the fixed connector. During operation, simply align the plug tube with the plug hole and insert it to complete the installation, achieving the effect of convenient assembly and improved ease of use.

[0015] 2.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a graduated, arc-shaped lacrimal duct irrigation needle, including an injection syringe 1. A connector 14 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the injection syringe 1. Multiple circumferentially arranged limiting plates 141 are fixedly installed on the rear end of the connector 14. A fixing connector 2 is provided on the connector 14. A tapered end 23 is provided at the front end of the fixing connector 2. An insertion hole 20 is provided inside the fixing connector 2. A fluid channel 24 is provided inside the tapered end 23. The connector 14 and the insertion hole 20 are inserted into each other. Multiple insertion grooves 21 are provided on the rear end wall of the insertion hole 20. The limiting plates 141 are inserted into the grooves 21. The number of insertion slots 1 and 21 is equal, and the size of the limiting plate 141 is adapted to the size of the insertion slot 21, realizing a quick and stable connection between the syringe 1 and the fixed connector 2. This connection method is easy to install and has strong stability, avoiding accidental separation of the two during the flushing process. At the same time, after the limiting plate 141 is inserted into the insertion slot 21, it can prevent the fixed connector 2 from rotating, ensuring stability. A sealing gasket 22 is fixedly installed on the front end hole wall of the insertion hole 20. The insertion tube 14 and the sealing gasket 22 are interference-fitted, which effectively prevents the flushing fluid from leaking. At the same time, it can increase the friction, so that the fixed connector 2 and the insertion tube 14 will not separate from each other, ensuring the smooth progress of the flushing work.

[0027] In this embodiment, a straight needle 25 is fixedly installed at the front end of the tapered end 23, and an arc-shaped needle 26 is fixedly installed at the front end of the straight needle 25. The arc-shaped needle 26 has an arc-shaped cross-section and is arranged in a semi-spiral ring shape, so that the shape of the arc-shaped needle 26 is adapted to the physiological curvature of the human lacrimal duct, which greatly reduces the difficulty of needle insertion, reduces damage to the lacrimal duct, and alleviates patient pain. At the same time, the end of the arc-shaped needle 26 and the straight needle 25 are not on the same plane, so that when looking directly at the straight needle 25 and the arc-shaped needle 26, the straight needle 25 will not obstruct the line of sight to the end of the arc-shaped needle 26. The shielding on the top ensures that medical staff can more easily observe the end of the curved needle 26 and insert it into the lacrimal duct. The surface of the curved needle 26 is provided with scale lines 261 along the path of the curved needle 26. The scale lines 261 range from 10mm to 15mm and are set from the front end of the curved needle 26 to the rear, which makes it convenient for medical staff to accurately control the needle depth and avoid complications caused by improper needle insertion. The liquid outlet end of the curved needle 26 is provided with multiple overflow holes 262 that are connected to the outside, which can make the irrigation fluid sprayed evenly and stably into the lacrimal duct, improving the irrigation effect.

[0028] Specifically, a grip support 10 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the syringe 1, making it more comfortable and stable for medical staff to hold during operation; a connecting rod 12 is slidably connected inside the syringe 1, and a piston 11 is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting rod 12. The piston 11 is located inside the syringe 1 and slidably connected to the syringe 1; a push plate 13 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the connecting rod 12. When medical staff push the push plate 13, the connecting rod 12 drives the piston 11 to slide smoothly, accurately controlling the amount and flow rate of the flushing fluid; the cross section of the connecting rod 12 is cross-shaped, and the size of the connecting rod 12 is adapted to the size of the syringe 1, ensuring the smoothness of the operation process, reducing the difficulty of work for medical staff, and improving flushing efficiency.

[0029] When using the graduated and visible arc-shaped lacrimal duct irrigation needle of this utility model, first draw an appropriate amount of irrigation fluid into the syringe 1, then insert the insertion tube 14 into the insertion hole 20 of the fixed connector 2, so that the limiting plate 141 and the insertion groove 21 are locked in one by one, ensuring that the front end of the insertion tube 14 is inserted into the sealing gasket 22, thereby achieving a stable connection between the syringe 1 and the fixed connector 2.

[0030] Subsequently, the patient is guided to assume a suitable position, and the eyes are routinely disinfected. The medical staff holds the syringe 1, using the grip 10 for a stable grip, and aligns the curved needle 26 with the lacrimal duct. Referring to the scale line 261 on its surface, the needle is slowly inserted into the lacrimal duct. Specifically, according to the reading on the scale line 261, the needle is inserted 1-2 mm into the lower lacrimal punctum, and then turned horizontally to enter the lacrimal canaliculus 3-5 mm towards the nasal side. Because the semi-spiral design of the curved needle 26 conforms to the physiological curvature of the lacrimal duct, and the straight needle 25 does not obstruct the view at its end, the needle insertion operation is smoother. Then, the injection plate 13 is pushed, and the connecting rod 12 drives the piston 11 to slide inside the syringe 1, controlling the irrigation fluid to flow through the fluid channel 24 and the straight needle 25, and spraying out from the overflow hole 262 of the curved needle 26. At the same time, the backflow of the irrigation fluid is observed to judge the condition of the lacrimal duct.

[0031] After rinsing, slowly pull out the curved needle 26 to clean the patient's eyes.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
