Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a nasal irrigation fluid collector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical care, nasal irrigation is a common treatment method widely used to relieve symptoms of nasal diseases such as rhinitis and sinusitis, and to promote nasal cavity cleanliness and moisture. Nasal irrigators, as tools for performing this treatment, inject saline or other rinsing solutions into the nasal cavity. The rinsing force of the solution removes secretions, allergens, bacteria, and other harmful substances from the nasal cavity, thereby improving nasal ventilation and reducing inflammatory symptoms. However, in practical application, nasal irrigators have a significant problem: the rinsed fluid often flows down the patient's mouth, chin, and neck, easily wetting the patient's skin and clothing, causing discomfort. The discomfort and awkwardness associated with nasal irrigation can affect the effectiveness of the treatment and patient acceptance. To address this issue, some nasal irrigation fluid collection devices have emerged on the market. These devices mostly adopt a funnel-shaped design and are placed under the patient's chin, attempting to guide the irrigation fluid into the collection container through gravity. However, these devices have revealed some problems in actual use. First, due to the differences in the patient's facial contours and the flow rate of the irrigation fluid, these devices often cannot fit the patient's chin and neck perfectly, causing the irrigation fluid to easily overflow from the edges of the device. Second, these devices are mostly made of hard materials, which may cause pressure and discomfort to the patient when worn. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nasal irrigation fluid collector that solves the problems of existing technology often failing to fit the patient's chin and neck completely during use, causing the irrigation fluid to easily overflow from the edges, and also causing discomfort when wearing it.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown, a nasal irrigation fluid collector includes a collection box 1 and a moisture-proof mask 12. The collection box 1 has a downward-curving arc-shaped groove 2 at its rear center to accommodate the jawline. An air cushion 3 is placed in the arc-shaped groove 2 to increase fit and comfort. A first headband 5 and a second headband 6 are respectively connected to both sides of the collection box 1. Both the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 have ear slots 7 for ear penetration and exposure to prevent ear pressure. A button 8 is provided on the first headband 5, and several buttonholes 11 are provided on the second headband 6 to engage with the button 8 and fix the position of the collection box 1. Both the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 have buttons 9 and an anti-slip coating 10. The moisture-proof mask 12 is connected to both sides... The device has a connecting strap 13, with buttonholes 15 on both sides. The buttonholes 15 and buttons 9 are connected to fix the position of the moisture-proof face mask 12, thus protecting the user's face, neck, and clothing. The airbag 3 at the arc-shaped groove 2 of the collection box 1 increases the fit and comfort during use. The moisture-proof face mask 12 effectively prevents nasal irrigation fluid from wetting the patient's face, neck, and clothing. The first headband 5 and the second headband 6 are located on opposite sides of the rear end of the collection box 1, with the button 8 located near the edge of the other end of the first headband 5, away from the collection box 1. Several buttonholes 15 are arranged equidistantly along the length of the second headband 6. The second headband 6, located at the other end away from the collection box 1, is positioned so that after the collection box 1 is placed under the patient's chin, the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 are simply wrapped around the patient's head upwards. Then, according to the size of the patient's head, the button 8 is connected to the appropriate buttonhole 11 to fix the collection box 1 in place. The anti-slip coating 10 is located on the inner wall of the first headband 5 and the second headband 6, and the anti-slip coating 10 is a silicone anti-slip coating 10, used to increase the coefficient of friction during wear. Through the establishment of the anti-slip coating 10 on the inner wall of the first headband 5 and the second headband 6, when the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 are used to wrap around and fix the patient's head, the anti-slip coating 10 comes into contact with the patient's head, increasing the coefficient of friction and enhancing stability during use. To prevent the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 from slipping and displacing due to patient head movement, a drain pipe 4 is provided at the bottom center of the collection box 1, and a valve 18 is provided on the drain pipe 4. The drain pipe 4 and valve 18 allow the collection box 1 to discharge the rinsing waste liquid when the valve 18 is opened, and conversely, to close the discharge passage when the valve is closed. The connector 17 on the drain pipe 4 and the telescopic hose 16 is threaded. This threaded connection allows the telescopic hose 16 to be installed at the bottom of the drain pipe 4, extending the drainage distance. Both the moisture-proof face mask 12 and the baffles 14 are made of silicone material, and both are provided on both sides of the center of the front end.The mask is integrally molded. The baffles 14 on both sides of the middle of the mask 12 prevent liquid from spreading on the mask 12 during use, guiding the rinsing fluid downwards into the collection box 1 and reducing the risk of spillage. The second button 9 is located on the outer wall of the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 near the ear canal 7, while the second eyelet 15 is located at the other end of the connecting strap 13 away from the mask 12. The second eyelet 15 and the second button 9 are connected to assemble the mask 12 and the collection box 1. The first headband 5, the second headband 6, and the connecting strap 13 are all elastic bands. Because of their good elasticity and adaptability, they can closely fit heads and faces of different sizes and shapes.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During nasal irrigation, the airbag cushion 3 is placed against the patient's chin, and then the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 are used to wrap around the patient's head upwards. Depending on the size of the patient's head, the button 8 is connected to the buttonhole 11 in a suitable position to fix the position of the collection box 1, so as to receive and collect the flowing nasal irrigation fluid. When the buttonhole 15 and the button 9 are connected, the moisture-proof mask 12 is combined with the collection box 1. During use, the upper end of the moisture-proof mask 12 is located under the patient's nose, and the lower end is located in the collection box 1. This effectively prevents the nasal irrigation fluid from wetting the patient's face, neck, and clothing. Furthermore, the baffles 14 on both sides of the middle of the moisture-proof mask 12 can further prevent the moisture-proof mask 12 from wetting the patient's face, neck, and clothing. During use, the device prevents the spread of liquid on the moisture-proof mask 12 and guides the flushing fluid down into the collection box 1, reducing the risk of spillage. The collection box 1 has a drain pipe 4 at the bottom center with a valve 18. When the valve 18 is opened, the flushing waste fluid collected inside the collection box 1 can be discharged. Conversely, the discharge passage can be closed when the valve is closed. The telescopic hose 16 extends the discharge distance after the connector 17 is threadedly connected to the drain pipe 4. The ear canals 7 on the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 allow the patient's ear to be exposed to the outside while the first headband 5 and the second headband 6 are wrapped around and fixed to the patient's head, thus effectively preventing pressure on the patient's ear and improving ear comfort.
