Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical technology, specifically to a meibomian gland massage forceps with a detachable heating pad. Background Technology

[0002] Meibomian glands are located inside the tarsal plate of the eyelid, arranged perpendicularly to the eyelid margin, and open onto the eyelid margin. Their function is to secrete oily substances, which lubricate the eyelid margin and prevent tears from flowing out of the conjunctival sac, eroding the skin and causing the eyelids to stick together.

[0003] Meibomian gland dysfunction is a chronic, diffuse meibomian gland abnormality, typically characterized by obstruction of the terminal ducts of the meibomian glands and / or changes in the substance or amount of meibomian gland secretions. Mild cases cause eye symptoms such as dryness, foreign body sensation, and irritation, while severe cases can lead to keratoconjunctivitis and vision impairment. The most important aspect of treating meibomian gland dysfunction is unblocking the meibomian gland ducts and promoting the excretion of accumulated secretions. Massaging the meibomian glands with forceps is one of the most commonly used physical therapy methods for treating meibomian gland dysfunction. Using specific techniques to massage the meibomian glands can improve eye discomfort symptoms. However, existing meibomian gland massage forceps can forcibly squeeze out lipids blocking the terminal ducts, causing damage to the eyelids and ducts, triggering inflammation, and causing significant discomfort to the patient.

The massage roller 10 is used to roll on the meibomian glands of the patient, thereby achieving the purpose of massaging the meibomian glands. A lever 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 8 away from the second rotating shaft 9. The lever 11 is used by the user to move the second rotating shaft 9 and the massage roller 10, so that the massage roller 10 massages the meibomian glands. A rubber sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the handle 1. The rubber sleeve 12 is used for... The friction between the handle 1 and the insert block 13 is increased. The surface of the rubber sleeve 12 is fitted with the insert block 13. The insert block 13 is used to install the heatable pad 14 on the handle 1, so that the heatable pad 14 can be detached. The upper surface of the insert block 13 is fixedly connected to the heatable pad 14. An electric heating plate 15 is provided inside the heatable pad 14. The heatable pad 14 and the electric heating plate 15 are used to block the rotation of the eyes and avoid corneal abrasion. The electric heating plate 15 is an existing product and is not a technical protection point of this application. It will not be described in detail here.

[0025] Furthermore, the handle 1 is used by the staff to hold the meibomian gland massage forceps, and the mounting base 2 is used to install the mounting frame 6, the second rotating shaft 9 and the massage roller 10 on the handle 1. It is also used to ensure that the mounting frame 6, the second rotating shaft 9 and the massage roller 10 can be rotated to adjust the angle. The first rotating shaft 3 is cylindrical in shape and is connected to the movable sleeve 4 by insertion. The movable sleeve 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 2 through the first rotating shaft 3. The first rotating shaft 3 is used to realize the rotation of the movable sleeve 4.

[0026] Furthermore, the movable sleeve 4 is cylindrical in shape, and two sets of the movable sleeve 4 are distributed at both ends of the mounting base 2. The movable sleeve 4 is used to realize the rotation of the mounting frame 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the rubber sleeves 12 are distributed in two groups on the surface of the handle 1. The rubber sleeves 12 are used to increase the friction between the handle 1 and the insert 13. The insert 13 is distributed in two groups on the surface of the heatable pad 14. The insert 13 is block-shaped and is used to install the heatable pad 14 on the handle 1, so that the heatable pad 14 can be detached. The heatable pad 14 is movably connected to the handle 1 through the rubber sleeves 12 and the insert 13. The heatable pad 14 and the electric heating plate 15 are used to block the rotation of the eyes and avoid corneal abrasion.

[0031] Working principle: When massaging the meibomian glands, the handle 1 can be held to cover the eyes with the heated pad 14, preventing eye rotation. Then, the lever 11 can be moved to make the massage roller 10 roll and massage the meibomian glands. Compared with the traditional method, this reduces the burden on the patient's face and improves the patient's comfort. At the same time, the bolt 5 can be loosened to rotate the mounting frame 6, the second rotating shaft 9, and the massage roller 10 to a suitable angle. Then, the bolt 5 can be tightened to lock the mounting frame 6 before massaging. After using the meibomian gland massage forceps, the heated pad 14 can be removed and disinfected for the next use to avoid cross-infection caused by bacteria on the heated pad 14.
