Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a support mask for cataract surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when performing cataract surgery, hospitals need to cover the patient's body with surgical drapes in areas other than the surgical site. The surgical drapes need to cover the patient's hair, the opposite eye and forehead, chest, shoulders and neck, with a 5-6cm area around the surgical eye exposed, and the rest of the area covered to ensure a sterile environment.

[0003] However, after the surgical drape is laid out, the patient's mouth and nose need to be covered, which affects the patient's normal breathing. The current solution is to place a plastic cover over the patient's mouth and nose to prevent droplets, creating a gap between the surgical drape and the patient's mouth and nose to allow the patient to breathe freely without affecting the surgeon's operation. However, the plastic cover is soft and easily collapsed by the surgical drape, which still affects the patient's breathing experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a support mask for cataract surgery.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A support mask for cataract surgery is provided, including a mask body, with connectors on both sides of the mask body. The mask body is worn on the human face through the connectors, covering the nose and mouth of the human face. The mask body has a hollow design.

[0007] The main body of the mask includes a base strip, a main support rod, and several side support rods. The main support rod is set along the center line of the main body of the mask, and the middle part of the main support rod protrudes to the side away from the human face. Both ends of the main support rod are fixedly connected to the base strip. Several side support rods are set at intervals along the length of the main support rod on both sides. One end of the side support rod is connected to the main support rod, and the other end is connected to the base strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector includes elastic cords, and connecting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the mask body. There are two elastic cords, which correspond one-to-one with the two connecting plates. Both ends of the elastic cords are connected to the connecting plates. The elastic cords are used to hang the human ears.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the elastic rope is fixedly connected to the connecting piece, and the other end is provided with multiple limiting pieces at intervals along its own length. A connecting groove is opened on the connecting piece for the elastic rope to be inserted. The connecting piece is located between two adjacent limiting pieces. The limiting pieces contact the outer wall of the connecting piece to restrict the elastic rope from sliding along the thickness direction of the connecting groove.

[0020] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] This application discloses an intraoperative support mask for cataract surgery, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the mask includes a main body with connectors on both sides. The mask is worn on the face via these connectors, covering the nose and mouth. The mask features a perforated design and includes a main support rod 2 along its center line. The middle of the main support rod 2 protrudes away from the face, creating a ventilation chamber between the mask and the nose and mouth. Specifically, the mask only covers the bridge of the nose near the tip, preventing it from extending towards the nasal root and interfering with surgical procedures.

[0022] The mask body also includes a base strip 1, which is designed as a three-dimensional curved strip that conforms to the human face. Both ends of the main support rod 2 are fixedly connected to the base strip 1. Several side support rods 21 are also fixedly connected to both sides of the main support rod 2. One end of each side support rod 21 is connected to the main support rod 2, and the other end is connected to the base strip 1. The main support rod 2 and the support rods provide stable support for the mask, keeping the surgical drape away from the patient's face. The main support rod 2, side support rods 21, and base strip 1 form perforations, which are the ventilation holes of the mask, giving it high breathability. During surgery, the mask body supports the surgical drape, creating a cavity between the patient's mouth and nose and the drape. The perforations in the mask body maintain sufficient breathability, allowing the patient to breathe smoothly during surgery.

[0023] The connector can be a Velcro strap that wraps around the back of the head, or an elastic cord 4 that attaches to the ears. In this embodiment, the connector can specifically be an elastic cord 4. Connecting pieces 3 are integrally fixed to both sides of the mask body. Two elastic cords 4 are provided, each corresponding to one of the two connecting pieces 3. Both ends of the elastic cord 4 are connected to the connecting pieces 3, and the two elastic cords 4 can be attached to the two ears of the person. This allows the mask body to be quickly worn on the face.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the elastic cord 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 3, and the other end of the elastic cord 4 is provided with multiple limiting pieces 41 spaced apart along its length. A connecting groove 31 is formed on the connecting piece 3, and the elastic cord 4 can be inserted into the connecting groove 31 from the side edge of the connecting piece 3, so that the connecting piece 3 is located between two limiting pieces 41 on the elastic cord 4. By inserting the elastic cord 4 into the connecting groove 31 at different positions, the effective length of the elastic cord 4 used to attach to the ear can be adjusted. When the elastic cord 4 is attached to the ear, the limiting pieces 41 can also restrict the movement of the elastic cord 4 relative to the connecting piece 3. Furthermore, a locking part 32 can be protruded on the inner wall of the connecting groove 31. After the elastic cord 4 is inserted into the connecting groove 31, the locking part 32 can restrict the elastic cord 4 from detaching from the connecting piece 3, thereby improving the connection stability of the elastic cord 4. The main body of the mask can be easily worn on the face using elastic cord 4 or Velcro, making it convenient for medical staff to put the mask on the patient's face and also convenient for medical staff to remove the mask at any time to wipe the patient's face.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 To further improve the wearing comfort of the support mask, a flexible pad 51 can be provided on the side of the base strip 1 that contacts the human face. The flexible pad 51 can be made of silicone strips, sponge strips, etc. In this embodiment, the flexible pad 51 can specifically be made of silicone strips. A connecting strip 52 is integrally provided on the upper edge of the flexible pad 51. The connecting strip 52 can be connected to the base strip 1 by a sleeve. The flexible pad 51 forms a "U" shaped cross-section structure, and an air cavity 53 with a compressible cross-sectional area is formed in the flexible pad 51. When the mask body is worn on the human face, the flexible pad 51 can fit the human skin more closely, improving the wearing comfort of the mask body.

[0026] For patients who require oxygen therapy, and who need nasal oxygen tubes to be able to enter the mask, notches 12 can be designed on both sides of the basic edge strip 1. The notches 12 connect to the hollow holes on the mask body, and the nasal oxygen tube can be inserted into the mask body through the notches 12, so as to avoid the nasal oxygen tube being compressed and affecting oxygen supply after wearing the mask.

[0027] Furthermore, elastic limiting parts 11 that bend into the perforated holes on the mask body can be formed on both sides of the notch 12 of the basic edge strip 1. The nasal oxygen tube needs to be pushed to pass through the elastic limiting parts 11 and enter the perforated holes on the mask body, which can effectively prevent the nasal oxygen tube from being compressed by the mask body during the patient's head movement.
