Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gastrointestinal endoscope products, and in particular to the mouthpiece of an oropharyngeal endoscope. Background Technology
[0002] During gastroscopy and colonoscopy, traditional mouthpieces typically only have the basic function of preventing patients from biting the endoscope, but they have many shortcomings in actual operation.
[0003] Existing conventional mouthpieces often only focus on the patient's biting occlusion, neglecting comprehensive consideration of the physiological structure of the patient's oropharynx and the comfort and safety needs during the examination. During gastroscopy and colonoscopy, patients need to keep their mouths open for extended periods, which can easily lead to fatigue and discomfort in the oral and pharyngeal muscles, increasing patient pain and resistance, and may even affect the smooth progress of the examination.
[0004] In addition, existing mouthpieces have defects in their fixing method, and their stability is poor. They are prone to displacement or falling off during the examination, which not only affects the examination operation, but may also cause accidental damage to the patient's oral cavity and throat, such as mucosal abrasion.
[0005] In response to the aforementioned technologies, and in order to overcome the problems existing in gastrointestinal endoscope mouthpieces in terms of comfort, safety, ventilation function, stability, and compatibility with gastrointestinal endoscopes, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of oropharyngeal-type gastrointestinal endoscope mouthpiece to meet the growing demand for gastrointestinal endoscopy examinations, improve examination quality, and enhance the patient's medical experience.

[0030] This utility model discloses an oropharyngeal endoscope mouthpiece. See attached drawing. Figure 1 The mouthpiece for oropharyngeal gastrointestinal endoscopes mainly includes a fixing mechanism 100 and a receiving mechanism 200. The receiving mechanism 200 includes a shaping tube 210 and a cover panel 220. The shaping tube 210 is arc-shaped and fixed to the cover panel 220. The cover panel 220 is arc-shaped and made of soft material.
[0031] The fixing mechanism 100 includes a fixing strap 110 and a buckle 120. There are two fixing straps 110. One end of the fixing strap 110 is fixedly connected to the cover panel 220, and the other end of the fixing strap 110 is fixedly connected to the buckle 120. The two buckles 120 can be connected to each other.
[0032] When it is necessary to fix the mouthpiece, the shaping tube 210 is inserted into the patient's mouth, and then the fixing strap 110 is wrapped around the patient's head. The two fasteners 120 are fixed together by the Velcro action of the buckle 120, which improves the stability of the fixation. The shaping tube 210 is arc-shaped, which can better fit the patient's mouth and provide support, thus improving comfort. The cover panel 220 can better fit the patient's face, improving the comfort, breathability and stability of the fixation.
[0033] In some embodiments, one end of the tube 210 is made of rubber. This provides better sealing and cushioning, making the tube 210 gentler when in contact with the oral cavity, reducing irritation and potential harm to the patient's mouth. The rubber material also has a degree of flexibility, allowing it to better adapt to different patients' oral cavity shapes.
[0034] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 200 further includes a buffer washer 230, which is fixed to one end of the shaping tube 210. The addition of the buffer washer 230 can further alleviate the pressure on the inside of the patient's mouth during the fixing process, improving comfort while reducing the risk of injury and ensuring the safety of the mouthpiece during use.
[0035] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 200 further includes a pad 240 disposed at the upper end of the shaping tube 210, with the pad 240 located at the end of the shaping tube 210 near the buffer washer 230. The presence of the pad 240 can effectively prevent the tongue from moving into the endoscope path, reducing interference during the examination. Furthermore, due to its proximity to the buffer washer 230, it also serves as an additional layer of protection, enhancing support and protection for the mouth.
[0036] In some embodiments, one end face of the pad 240 is arc-shaped, and the pad 240 is an inflatable pad. The inflatable pad can adjust the pressure as needed to adapt to different patient needs and provide personalized comfort. The arc-shaped design ensures that the pad 240 fits more closely to the inner wall of the oral cavity, without affecting breathing or obstructing vision, while also enhancing the fixation effect.
[0037] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 200 further includes a tongue depressor 250, one end of which is hinged to the end of the shaping tube 210 away from the pad 240. The design of the tongue depressor 250 allows for angle adjustment to better accommodate different patient anatomy and effectively hold the tongue in a safe position, thereby ensuring smooth gastroscopy.
[0038] In some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 200 further includes a bellows 260, one end of which is fixedly connected to the shaping tube 210, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the tongue depressor 250. The bellows 260 not only provides the necessary flexibility, allowing the tongue depressor 250 to be adjusted in position according to actual conditions, but its structural stability also ensures that the entire device will not easily deform or shift during use, increasing overall safety and reliability.
[0039] In some embodiments, the securing strap 110 is an elastic elastic strap. The use of elastic material allows the securing strap 110 to be suitable for various head shapes, improving wearing comfort and stability. The elastic elastic strap can also evenly distribute the applied pressure, avoiding excessive local pressure that could lead to discomfort or injury.
[0040] The implementation principle of the oropharyngeal endoscope mouthpiece of this utility model embodiment is as follows:
[0041] By inserting the curved shaping tube 210 into the patient's mouth and securing it with the fixing strap 110, which has Velcro fasteners 120, around the patient's head, not only is the stability of the fixation improved, but the shape of the shaping tube 210 also provides better support and comfort due to its closer fit to the patient's mouth. The design of the cover panel 220 further enhances facial fit, improves breathability and fixation effect, and the application of the elastic stretch strap ensures that the device can adapt to different patients' head shapes, improving overall comfort. Secondly, the introduction of the cushioning gasket 230 and the air cushion achieves gentle contact with the inside of the patient's mouth during fixation, reducing potential oral injury and enhancing the reliability of fixation. Finally, the pad 240 is set to block the patient's tongue, effectively reducing the possibility of tongue interference during gastroscopy. In summary, these improvements significantly improve the safety, stability, and patient comfort of the mouthpiece.
[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
