Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a cold gel applicator for Thermage. Background Technology

[0002] Thermage is a highly safe cosmetic device that can tighten and stretch the skin without causing wounds. Its principle is based on radiofrequency technology. Unlike the selective photothermal principle of lasers, the radiofrequency current is converted into heat energy by resistance to produce a therapeutic effect. The human body is a conductor of electricity. When radiofrequency current is applied to the body, due to the impedance of the skin and subcutaneous tissue to electromagnetic waves, water molecules within the tissue cells vibrate, rotate, and rub against each other at a rate of millions of times per second under the influence of the electromagnetic waves, generating heat. This heat energy acts on the target tissue, thereby damaging cells, causing cell vaporization, or causing tissue contraction.

[0003] Before a Thermage treatment, a cooling gel needs to be applied. The cooling gel acts as a barrier between the Thermage probe and the skin, reducing the risk of burns. For those with dry or sensitive skin, the cooling gel provides a protective layer, minimizing discomfort during treatment and reducing moisture loss due to the high temperature, helping to keep the skin hydrated. When applying the cooling gel, the medical staff will first pour a portion of the gel from the bottle onto the skin and then spread it with a cotton swab to cover a large area. Because it's difficult to control the amount of gel poured out, too much may be dispensed, posing a risk of waste and increasing the workload of spreading it later. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] See Figures 1-6This embodiment discloses a cryogel applicator for Thermage, comprising a housing 1, a detachable storage bottle 2 for holding cryogel is installed in the cavity of the housing 1, the storage bottle 2 can be elastically deformed under external force, the housing 1 is provided with a squeezing mechanism 3 for squeezing the storage bottle 2 radially, the housing 1 is provided with a liquid outlet channel 4, the inner end of the liquid outlet channel 4 has a circular cross-section and is connected to the liquid outlet of the storage bottle 2, the housing 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 5 for controlling the connection and disconnection between the liquid outlet channel 4 and the liquid outlet, and the outer end of the liquid outlet channel 4 has a rectangular cross-section.

[0027] When applying facial cooling gel, hold the housing 1 with one hand, with the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 4 close to the application area. Press the liquid bottle 2 with your finger through the squeezing mechanism 3 to squeeze the liquid bottle 2 so that the cooling gel in the liquid bottle 2 can be output through the liquid outlet channel 4. After the cooling gel is output, move the housing 1 to perform a large-area application of the cooling gel.

[0028] See Figure 1 The housing 1 includes an upper housing 11, a connecting pipe 12, a lower housing 13, and a liquid outlet 14. The upper housing 11, connecting pipe 12, lower housing 13, and liquid outlet 14 are all detachably connected in sequence. The extrusion mechanism 3 is located on the connecting pipe 12, the adjustment mechanism 5 is located on the lower housing 13, and the liquid outlet channel 4 is located on the liquid outlet 14. The modular structure of the housing 1 reduces its manufacturing difficulty, minimizes manufacturing and processing losses, improves the ease of installation of the various mechanisms within the housing 1, and facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the coater, enabling the coater to be reused and reducing waste.

[0029] In this embodiment, the upper housing 11, the connecting tube 12, and the lower housing 13 are all connected by a threaded structure, which facilitates assembly and disassembly. The lower housing 13 and the liquid outlet 14 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. The liquid outlet 14 can rotate relative to the lower housing 13, which makes it convenient for users to apply the cold gel to their face in different holding positions.

[0030] See Figure 2 The liquid outlet 14 has two protrusions 15 on its end face. The two protrusions 15 are symmetrically arranged relative to the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 4, so that there is a gap between the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 4 and the coating position when the coater is applying cold gel, thereby ensuring the coating thickness of the cold gel.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 3The extrusion mechanism 3 includes a pusher 31 and an extrusion member 32. The pusher 31 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the radial direction of the housing 1. A receiving cavity 33 is provided on the cavity of the housing 1 along the radial direction of the housing 1. The inner end of the pusher 31 passes through the housing 1 and is located in the receiving cavity 33. The extrusion member 32 is located in the receiving cavity 33 and is fixedly connected to the inner end of the pusher 31. The liquid storage bottle 2 is located on the moving trajectory of the extrusion member 32. A first spring 34 is provided between the outer end of the pusher 31 and the housing 1. The two ends of the first spring 34 abut against the pusher 31 and the housing 1 respectively.

[0032] When the cold gel in the storage bottle 2 needs to be output from the outlet channel 4, hold the shell 1 and the pusher 31 with one hand, press the pusher 31 with your finger to compress the first spring 34, and at the same time, the pusher 31 drives the extruder 32 to gradually approach and press against the side of the storage bottle 2, so that the cold gel is squeezed from the storage bottle 2 into the outlet channel 4, thereby achieving the effect of cold gel output.

[0033] See Figure 3 The protective member 6 is provided on the side of the housing 1. The protective member 6 is sheet-shaped and both ends are integrally connected to the housing 1. The protective member 6 and the housing 1 enclose and form a receiving space 61. The pusher 31 is located in the receiving space 61, which can protect the pusher 31 and reduce the risk of cold gel leakage caused by accidental contact of the pusher 31 during the placement of the coating device.

[0034] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 The adjusting mechanism 5 includes an actuating element 51, a first partition 52, and a second partition 53. The actuating element 51 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The actuating element 51 and the housing 1 can be fixed together by a locking mechanism 7. The first partition 52 and the second partition 53 are both semi-circular. The first partition 52 is fixedly connected to the liquid outlet channel 4. A flow port 54 is formed between the first partition 52 and the housing 1. The second partition 53 is fixedly connected to the actuating element 51. The adjacent sides of the first partition 52 and the second partition 53 are on the same plane. The flow port 54 is located on the movement trajectory of the second partition 53.

[0035] In use, the toggle 51 is rotated relative to the housing 1, which changes the relative position between the first partition 52 and the second partition 53, thereby adjusting the coverage of the second partition 53 over the connecting port (i.e., adjusting the diameter of the connecting port), thus controlling the output of the cold gel and meeting the user's needs for the amount of cold gel applied to different facial areas (such as around the eyes and cheeks), improving the flexibility of the applicator.

[0036] See Figure 5The locking mechanism 7 includes a steel ball 71. A sliding cavity 72 for sliding the steel ball 71 is provided on the actuating member 51. A second spring 73 is provided between the inner end of the steel ball 71 and the actuating member 51. The two ends of the second spring 73 abut against the steel ball 71 and the actuating member 51 respectively. The diameter of the opening of the sliding cavity 72 is smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 71. A plurality of grooves 74 for accommodating the outer end of the steel ball 71 are provided on the housing 1. The grooves 74 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the housing 1. A plurality of marks 75 corresponding to the grooves 74 are provided on the side of the housing 1.

[0037] During the rotation of the actuating element 51 relative to the housing 1, the steel ball 71 can enter the sliding cavity 72 under the compression of the housing 1. At this time, the second spring 73 is compressed. When the steel ball 71 is opposite to the groove 74, the steel ball 71 can move out of the sliding cavity 72 under the force of the second spring 73 returning to its original state, so that the outer end of the steel ball 71 enters the groove 74, thereby achieving the locking effect between the actuating element 51 and the housing 1. This ensures the stability of the relative position between the first partition 52 and the second partition 53 after the actuating element 51 drives the second partition 53 to move. At the same time, combined with the mark 75 on the housing 1, the convenience and accuracy of operation are improved.

[0038] See Figure 6 A stopper 8 is slidably connected inside the cavity of the housing 1. The stopper 8 is located between the housing 1 and the liquid storage bottle 2. A third spring 81 is provided between the stopper 8 and the housing 1. The two ends of the third spring 81 abut against the stopper 8 and the housing 1 respectively, which improves the restriction effect of the liquid storage bottle 2 inside the housing 1, thereby ensuring the squeezing mechanism 3 squeezes the liquid storage bottle 2.

[0039] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
