Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a dental protective face shield. Background Technology

[0002] In modern dental treatment, a series of carefully designed steps are typically performed to ensure optimal treatment outcomes and patient experience. First, the patient undergoes a comprehensive initial assessment and consultation, including a detailed discussion of their personal medical history, current symptoms, and specific treatment expectations. This stage may involve X-rays or other advanced imaging examinations to provide the dentist with a comprehensive overview of their oral health and to help develop a personalized and targeted treatment plan.

[0003] Once the ideal treatment plan is determined, a specific treatment appointment will be scheduled. Before starting any treatment, a professional dental cleaning is essential to effectively remove tartar and plaque, preparing the teeth for subsequent treatment. Depending on the treatment needs, local anesthesia may be used to ensure comfort during the procedure. Treatment options are wide-ranging, from simple fillings to complex root canals or tooth extractions, and also include restorative treatments (such as crowns, bridges, and veneers), orthodontic treatments (to reposition teeth), and cosmetic treatments (to improve the appearance of teeth).

[0004] In particular, irrigation water is used in many dental procedures to clean the surgical area, cool the drill bit, and help remove debris generated during cutting. While irrigation water plays a crucial role in improving treatment efficiency, its use also presents several technical challenges. For example, during high-speed drilling, the volume of fluid formed by the mixture of irrigation water, blood, and saliva increases significantly. If the suction device is not operating efficiently, this mixture may splash out due to the high-speed rotation of the instrument or changes in pressure within the oral cavity, contaminating the patient's face, chest, and other areas, causing discomfort and even increasing the risk of cross-infection, especially in shared treatment environments. Therefore, effectively managing and controlling these fluids has become an important research direction, aiming to improve treatment safety and patient satisfaction.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, it is necessary to develop a dental protective face shield that can mitigate the impact of wastewater splashing on patients, providing solutions tailored to the needs of diverse patients. Utility Model Content

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 To further describe this application in detail, embodiments of this application disclose a dental protective face shield.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a dental protective face shield, including a protective screen 100, a protective plate 200, and a drainage device 300.

[0044] The protective screen 100 is designed according to the contours of the human head, ensuring comfort and stability during dental treatment. A treatment opening 120 is specially provided on the protective screen 100 to expose the patient's mouth, facilitating dentistry. This design precisely positions the treatment area, reducing unnecessary exposure and thus minimizing wastewater contamination. The protective plate 200 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective screen 100, corresponding to the patient's jaw position, and smoothly connected and secured to the screen 100. Made of flexible material, the protective plate 200 can flexibly adjust its coverage according to the shape of the patient's neck and chest, effectively covering these areas. This flexible design not only improves patient comfort but also adapts to different body types, ensuring comprehensive protection. A drainage device 300 is fixedly installed on the protective plate 200, specifically designed to guide and collect wastewater ejected from the patient's mouth during treatment.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, at least two extension patches 130 for changing the size of the treatment port 120 are fixedly connected to the protective screen 100. These extension patches 130 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the treatment port 120 and are installed by layering. Specifically, the first layer of extension patch 130 is directly pasted onto the protective screen 100, while the second layer of extension patch 130 is pasted on top of the first layer, and so on. This design allows the user to flexibly adjust the size of the treatment port 120 by peeling off different layers of extension patches 130 during actual operation to adapt to different treatment needs. It provides flexible adjustment of the treatment port 120 size, enhancing adaptability.

[0046] Each layer of the extension patch 130 is made of medical-grade materials, ensuring good biocompatibility and durability, and avoiding irritation or allergic reactions to the patient's skin. In addition, the surface of the extension patch 130 is specially treated to have good adhesion properties, which can not only keep it firmly in place when needed, but also be easily removed without leaving any residue when not needed.

[0047] With this layered extension tape 130 design, dentists can precisely adjust the size of the treatment opening 120 according to specific treatment requirements, thereby better exposing the target area while reducing unnecessary exposure, improving the safety and accuracy of treatment. For example, during more complex dental procedures, more layers of extension tape 130 can be peeled off to enlarge the opening, while during routine examinations or simple treatments, only fewer layers need to be retained to ensure minimal exposure and protect patient privacy and safety.

[0048] The protective screen 100 is specially designed with viewing openings 150 to expose the patient's eyes, ensuring an unobstructed view during treatment. A transparent eye-protection screen 160 is fixedly installed at the location of each viewing opening 150. These eye-protection screens 160 not only cover the viewing openings 150 but are also securely attached to the protective screen 100 via adhesive, effectively blocking any splashes of sewage and other contaminants, thus protecting the patient's eyes. Furthermore, the eye-protection screens 160 are made of highly transparent and impact-resistant materials, ensuring both clear vision and excellent durability.

[0049] To further enhance ease of use and comfort, the protective screen 100 can be made of high-quality transparent material. This not only maintains the overall lightweight structure but also provides better visual transparency, making the patient feel more natural and comfortable when wearing it. Additionally, ear hooks 110 are provided on both sides of the protective screen 100 to ensure it is stably hung on the patient's ears, preventing it from easily slipping or shifting during use.

[0050] Among them, the treatment port 120 is also slidably set in the tube sleeve 140 for placing the suction tube to suck up sewage from the patient's mouth.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the diversion device 300 includes a diversion strip 310 for guiding the flow of sewage and a collection box 330 for collecting sewage.

[0052] The drainage strip 310 is firmly fixed to the protective plate 200 by a high-strength adhesive and extends along the periphery of the protective plate 200. The drainage strip 310 is made of flexible and corrosion-resistant material and has good bending resistance to ensure effective drainage at various angles.

[0053] At least two storage boxes 330 are provided, each fixedly connected to the two bottom corners of the protective plate 200 away from the protective screen 100, forming a symmetrical layout to evenly distribute weight and optimize space utilization. Furthermore, the storage boxes 330 are made of transparent material, allowing users to easily monitor the amount of wastewater stored within them.

[0054] The drainage strip 310 has a high-efficiency drainage channel 320 on the side facing the protective plate 200, which connects directly to the collection box 330. This channel has a smooth inner wall, significantly reducing water flow resistance and allowing wastewater to flow quickly into the collection box 330. During use, the protective plate 200 is placed on the patient's chest. When splashed wastewater comes into contact with the protective plate 200, it quickly flows to both sides of the body and enters the drainage channel 320. Thanks to the efficient drainage design, wastewater can smoothly flow along the drainage channel 320 into the collection box 330 for storage, preventing wastewater from flowing into the treatment room and causing indoor pollution.

[0055] The protective panel 200 is designed with the height of the user as its length direction, ensuring that it covers the user's body during use. To enhance its flexibility and adaptability, the protective panel 200 has two symmetrical creases 210, which are symmetrically arranged around the centerline of the protective panel 200's length. In particular, the width cross-section of these creases 210 is V-shaped, a design that not only enhances structural strength but also gives the protective panel 200 excellent folding performance.

[0056] By folding the protective plate 200 along the crease 210, its width can be easily altered to better fit different body shapes or postures. Furthermore, the unique design of the V-shaped crease 210 guides wastewater from the surface of the protective plate 200 towards the drainage channel 320 during use, preventing liquid stagnation.

[0057] Specifically, when the width of the protective plate 200 needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to gently fold it along the crease 210. The operation is simple and will not affect the overall aesthetics and functionality of the protective plate 200.

[0058] This innovative design not only enhances the functionality and practicality of the protective panel 200, but also improves user experience and safety in multiple ways, reflecting a high level of technological innovation and user care. For example, in a medical environment, healthcare workers can quickly adjust the size and shape of the protective panel 200 according to actual needs, thereby providing more effective personal protection. At the same time, the V-shaped creases 210 guide water flow, making cleaning simpler and more efficient, reducing cleaning time and maintenance costs.

[0059] In the design of the protective panel 200, its stability and flexibility are further enhanced by fixing a first adhesive strip 220 and a second adhesive strip 230 to the protective panel 200. The first adhesive strip 220 is arranged along the length direction of the crease 210, and at least two of them are included, with these two first adhesive strips 220 evenly distributed along the crease 210. The protective panel 200 has first adhesive points 240 corresponding to the first adhesive strips 220 near its center line along the length direction; these adhesive points provide a strong adhesion point when the protective panel 200 is folded.

[0060] In addition, the protective plate 200 is equipped with two second adhesive strips 230, which are arranged symmetrically about the center line of the protective plate 200 along its length and near the corners at the lower end of the protective plate 200. This design allows the second adhesive strips 230 to be bonded to the first adhesive point 240 during use, forming a triangular fold at the corners on both sides of the lower end of the protective plate 200, improving the sealing effect at the lower end and preventing liquid leakage.

[0061] Specifically, when the protective plate 200 needs to be folded, the user can easily bond the first adhesive strip 220 to the corresponding first adhesive point 240 to ensure that the folded protective plate 200 can maintain the ideal shape and size.

[0062] This innovative design not only enhances the functionality and reliability of the protective panel 200 but also optimizes the user experience in several ways. For example, in medical environments, healthcare professionals can quickly adjust the shape of the protective panel 200 according to actual needs. Through precise bonding positions and a rational layout, this design also significantly reduces the possibility of misoperation, further ensuring safety during use.

[0063] In summary, the dental protective face shield provided by this utility model, through its carefully designed structure and function, can not only effectively solve the problem of sewage splashing in the prior art, protecting patients from pollution and potential health threats, but also significantly improve the overall experience of patients during treatment and optimize the work efficiency of medical personnel.

[0064] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
