Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral treatment technology, and specifically to an oral treatment drug delivery device. Background Technology
[0002] Dentistry is a medical specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, abnormalities, and injuries related to the oral cavity, maxillofacial region, and related structures. Oral health is crucial to overall health; oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease not only affect oral function and appearance but can also negatively impact systemic health. Oral drug administration is one of the important treatment methods in dentistry, delivering medication directly into the oral cavity to achieve therapeutic goals.
[0003] Currently, the most commonly used medication administration tools in dental treatment are syringes, cotton swabs, or cotton balls. Syringes require manual injection by healthcare professionals, which presents the following problems: Operational fatigue: During prolonged treatments (such as complex caries fillings or treatment of multiple oral lesions in children), repeated force exertion of the fingers can easily lead to muscle strain and even occupational injuries such as tenosynovitis. Large dosage errors: Relying on hand strength to control the injection speed makes it difficult to accurately control the dosage, especially for viscous solutions (such as pastes and gels), where the error rate can reach ±10%, potentially affecting treatment efficacy or leading to overdose. Furthermore, traditional metal or rigid plastic catheters lack elasticity and are difficult to adapt to complex anatomical structures in the oral cavity (such as the curvature of the palate and the retromolar region). During operation, the hard contact may damage the mucosa, increasing the patient's pain and bleeding risk. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an oral treatment drug delivery device, which is suitable for the treatment and care of oral lesions in clinical treatment of dentistry, home care and other scenarios.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an oral treatment drug delivery device, including a storage tube and an operating handle. The operating handle is equipped with a drug delivery pump. The input end and output end of the drug delivery pump are respectively connected to an input connector and a drug delivery connector located at the rear end and the front end of the operating handle. The drug delivery connector is detachably connected to an elastic drug guide tube. The input connector and the storage tube are detachably and sealedly connected. The drug delivery pump is signal-connected to a controller and a power module. The controller is connected to a control button located on the surface of the operating handle.
[0006] In this technical solution, the operating handle of the drug delivery device has a built-in drug delivery pump. The operation of the drug delivery pump is controlled by a control button to achieve drug delivery. Compared with the syringe-type structure in the prior art, it can avoid fatigue caused by repeated force of the fingers of medical staff during operation. The front and rear ends of the operating handle are connected to the storage tube and the delivery tube through the input connector and the drug delivery connector, respectively. After the drug delivery pump is started, the drug solution is output from the storage tube and delivered to the affected area in the mouth through the delivery tube. Since the delivery tube is elastic, it can bend automatically, avoiding damage to the affected area during drug delivery.
[0007] Preferably, the drug delivery tube has a spiral structure, with a connecting part at one end that connects to the drug delivery connector, and a spherical, hollowed-out drug delivery part at the other end, covered with an elastic cotton head.
[0008] Preferably, the operating handle is provided with an LED light group at its front end, and the LED light group is connected to the controller signal.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the operating handle is provided with a display module, and the display module is signal-connected to the controller.
[0010] Preferably, the outer rear end of the operating handle is provided with a grip portion, and the surface of the grip portion is treated with an anti-slip coating.
[0011] Preferably, the front end of the operating handle may be connected to the rear end of a sealing cap, which can be detachably connected to the input connector and the drug delivery connector.
[0012] Preferably, the storage tube has a connection port and an air inlet, the connection port is detachably connected to the input connector, and both the connection port and the air inlet are equipped with a one-way valve.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the storage tube is provided with graduation marks.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention abandons the manual injection method of traditional syringes and automatically delivers the medication by driving the drug delivery pump through a control button, avoiding occupational injuries such as tenosynovitis caused by frequent force exertion of the fingers by medical staff. It is especially suitable for long-term oral treatment scenarios. During use, LED lights provide local illumination, solving the problem of insufficient vision in the deep oral cavity and reducing the risk of missed or incorrect application. During operation, the display module provides real-time feedback on the dosage, avoiding dosage errors caused by dosing based on experience. It has significant technical advantages in improving the efficiency of medical operations, reducing patient discomfort, and ensuring treatment accuracy. Attached Figure Description

Both the connection port 110 and the air inlet are equipped with one-way valves. The surface of the storage tube 100 has graduation marks 120. The storage tube 100 can be made of transparent polypropylene. Both the connection port 110 and the air inlet are equipped with one-way valves, allowing only liquid medication to flow into the administration pump in one direction and air to enter the storage tube 100 in one direction. The graduation marks 120 on the surface facilitate accurate measurement of the remaining medication by medical personnel.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the operating procedure of this device in actual use is as follows:
[0028] Preparation stage: Medical staff unscrew the sealed cap of the storage tube, inject the liquid medicine (such as oral ulcer paste) through the connection port, ensure that the liquid level does not exceed the maximum mark, then tighten the connection of the delivery tube to the drug delivery connector, and put on the cotton swab.
[0029] Drug administration stage: Press the control button to turn on the device. The LED light illuminates the oral cavity. Gently touch the drug delivery tube to the affected area and press the "Start" button. The drug delivery pump drives the liquid from the storage tube through the input connector, hose, and drug delivery connector into the drug delivery tube. The liquid then permeates through the perforated holes to the cotton swab head and is evenly applied to the affected area. During the drug administration process, the cumulative dosage can be observed in real time on the display module. The device will automatically pause when the preset dosage is reached to avoid overdose.
[0030] Cleaning and Storage: After administration, disassemble the drug delivery tube and storage tube, wipe the handle surface and interface with alcohol swabs, dispose of the drug delivery tube and cotton swab head as medical waste, cover with the sealing cap, press and hold the control button to turn off the device, and charge the power module via the USB interface.
