An improved tonsil opening device

Abstract

This application relates to an improved tonsil mouth opener, belonging to the field of medical device technology. It includes a mouth opener body, a tongue depressor, and a locking assembly. The tongue depressor is slidably mounted on the mouth opener body, and has a groove with a bulging hole at the bottom of the groove. The locking assembly is mounted on the mouth opener body and restricts the movement of the tongue depressor. The position of the tongue depressor on the mouth opener body is adjusted, and the locking assembly restricts the current position of the tongue depressor. Then, the tongue is pressed down using the tongue depressor. After being squeezed, the tongue bulges towards the groove. The bulging hole further reduces the tongue's lateral bulge, thereby reducing the volume exposed on both sides of the tongue depressor. This better exposes the lower poles of the tonsils on both sides. This solves the problem that existing tonsil mouth openers cause the tongue root tissue to bulge towards both sides of the tongue depressor, failing to adequately expose the pharynx and the lower poles of the tonsils.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an improved tonsil opening device. Background Technology

[0002] When using existing tonsil opening devices, the device is usually inserted into the patient's mouth after the patient has been under general anesthesia. The tongue depressor presses the tongue and the endotracheal tube under or to one side to expose the tonsils.

[0003] However, when using existing tonsillar depressors to compress the patient's tongue, the patient's tongue root tissue bulges to both sides of the depressor after being compressed, which cannot properly expose the pharynx and the lower pole of the tonsils, and cannot provide the doctor with a surgical field for cleaning.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the use of existing tonsil opening devices results in the tongue base tissue bulging towards both sides of the tongue depressor, which fails to adequately expose the pharynx and the lower pole of the tonsils. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved tonsil mouth opener, which aims to solve the problem that when using existing tonsil mouth openers, the tongue root tissue bulges to both sides of the tongue depressor, and the pharynx and lower pole of the tonsils cannot be well exposed.

[0006] This application provides an improved tonsil opening device with the following technical solution: An improved tonsil opening device, comprising:

[0007] The opening device body;

[0008] A tongue depressor plate is slidably mounted on the mouth opener body. The tongue depressor plate has a groove, and the bottom of the groove has an bulging hole.

[0009] A clamping assembly is disposed on the mouth opener body and is used to restrict the movement of the tongue depressor.

[0010] Optionally, the opening body is provided with a sliding through hole;

[0011] The tongue depressor includes a tongue depressor part and a sliding part. The tongue depressor part is connected to the sliding part. The sliding part is slidably disposed in the sliding through hole. The groove is disposed on the tongue depressor part.

[0012] Optionally, the tongue depressor is arranged perpendicular to the sliding part.

[0013] Optionally, the tongue depressor includes a pulling part, which is disposed at one end of the sliding part away from the tongue depressor, and the pulling part is used to push and pull the sliding part.

[0014] Optionally, the shape of the tongue depressor is a triangle that extends outwards as it moves away from the sliding part.

[0015] Optionally, the opening body is provided with a locking hole, which communicates with the sliding through hole;

[0016] The clamping assembly includes a pressing member and an elastic member. The pressing member is hinged to the opening body, and the elastic member is disposed at the hinge between the pressing member and the opening body.

[0017] The elastic element has an elastic potential energy that allows one end of the pressing element to extend into the sliding through hole and be engaged with the sliding part.

[0018] Optionally, the modified tonsil opening device includes:

[0019] Adjustment element, which is disposed on the opening body;

[0020] The tooth clip is slidably mounted on the adjusting member and is used to hook onto the teeth.

[0021] Optionally, at least two teeth are provided, and at least two teeth are slidably disposed on the adjusting member.

[0022] Optionally, the adjusting member includes a connecting part and an adjusting part. The connecting part is disposed on the mouth opener body, and the adjusting part is disposed on the connecting part. The adjusting part is horizontally disposed on the mouth opener body, and at least two of the teeth are slidably disposed on the adjusting part.

[0023] Optionally, the shape of the adjusting part is arc-shaped.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0025] Gently separate the patient's upper and lower teeth, and slowly slide the modified tonsil mouth opener along the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue.

[0026] The tongue depressor is slidably mounted on the mouth opener body. The position of the tongue depressor on the mouth opener body can be adjusted, making it convenient for the modified tonsil mouth opener to be adjusted according to the internal structure of the patient's oral cavity, so that the tongue depressor can press down the tongue, thereby opening the oral cavity and exposing the oropharynx.

[0027] Once the position of the tongue depressor is determined, the locking assembly can restrict the tongue depressor to the current position.

[0028] Then, use the tongue depressor to press the tongue down. The groove can relatively fix the tracheostomy tube, preventing it from shifting or coming out. The tongue will also expand towards the groove after being squeezed, thereby reducing the volume exposed on both sides of the tongue depressor.

[0029] At the same time, the setting of the bulging orifice can further reduce the tongue from protruding to both sides, thereby better exposing the lower pole of the tonsils on both sides, allowing the doctor to obtain a better surgical field and shorten the operation time.

[0030] This solves the problem that using existing tonsil opening devices causes the tongue base tissue to bulge towards both sides of the tongue depressor, preventing proper exposure of the pharynx and the lower pole of the tonsils. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] This application discloses an improved tonsil opening device.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an improved tonsil opener includes an opener body 1, a tongue depressor 2, and a clamping assembly 5; the tongue depressor 2 is slidably disposed on the opener body 1, and the tongue depressor 2 is provided with a groove 211, and a bulging hole 212 is provided on the bottom of the groove 211; the clamping assembly 5 is disposed on the opener body 1, and the clamping assembly 5 is used to restrict the movement of the tongue depressor 2.

[0040] Gently separate the patient's upper and lower teeth, and slowly slide the modified tonsil mouth opener along the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue.

[0041] The tongue depressor 2 is slidably mounted on the mouth opener body 1. The position of the tongue depressor 2 on the mouth opener body 1 can be adjusted, so that the modified tonsil mouth opener can be adjusted according to the internal structure of the patient's oral cavity, so that the tongue depressor 2 can press down the tongue, thereby opening the oral cavity and exposing the oropharynx.

[0042] Once the position of the tongue depressor 2 is determined, the clamping assembly 5 can restrict the tongue depressor 2 to the current position.

[0043] Then, the tongue is pressed down using the tongue depressor 2. The groove 211 can relatively fix the tracheal tube, preventing the tracheal tube from shifting or coming out. After being squeezed, the tongue will bulge towards the groove 211, thereby reducing the volume exposed on both sides of the tongue depressor 21.

[0044] Meanwhile, the bulging orifice 212 can further reduce the tongue from protruding to both sides, thereby better exposing the lower poles of the tonsils on both sides, allowing doctors to obtain a better surgical field and shorten the operation time.

[0045] This solves the problem that using existing tonsil opening devices causes the tongue base tissue to bulge towards both sides of the tongue depressor, preventing proper exposure of the pharynx and the lower pole of the tonsils.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the mouth opener body 1 is provided with a sliding through hole 11; the tongue depressor 2 includes a tongue depressor part 21 and a sliding part 22, the tongue depressor part 21 is connected to the sliding part 22, and the sliding part 22 is slidably disposed in the sliding through hole 11.

[0047] Specifically, the tongue depressor 2 is generally L-shaped, with the tongue depressor 21 located at one end of the sliding part 22 and the tongue depressor 21 being perpendicular to the sliding part 22.

[0048] The sliding through hole 11 connects the two ends of the mouth opener body 1. The sliding part 22 is slidably disposed in the sliding through hole 11. The tongue pressing part 21 is exposed to the outside. Since the tongue pressing part 21 is perpendicular to the sliding part 22, the tongue pressing part 21 will not enter the sliding through hole 11.

[0049] The sliding part 22 can slide freely within the sliding through hole 11 to conveniently adjust the position of the tongue depressor 21 in the patient's mouth.

[0050] Furthermore, the shape of the tongue depressor 21 is a triangle that extends outwards the further away from the sliding part 22. The triangular shape of the tongue depressor 21 can increase the width of the bottom of the tongue depressor 21, which can effectively stretch the tissue at the root of the tongue.

[0051] The grooves 211 are symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the tongue depressor 21. The grooves 211 can relatively fix the tracheal tube, preventing the tracheal tube from shifting or coming out. Furthermore, the tongue will bulge towards the grooves 211 after being squeezed, thereby reducing the volume exposed on both sides of the tongue depressor 21.

[0052] The bottom of the groove 211 is provided with bulging holes 212, which are symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the tongue pressing part 21.

[0053] In this embodiment, the bulging hole 212 is a strip-shaped hole with the same shape as the groove 211.

[0054] Since the tonsils are located on both sides of the throat, the sides of the tongue can obstruct the exposure of the lower pole of the tonsils. The setting of the bulging orifice 212 can further reduce the tongue from protruding to both sides, thereby better exposing the lower pole of the tonsils on both sides. This allows the doctor to obtain a better surgical field, shorten the operation time, avoid the trouble of back and forth adjustments, reduce stimulation to body tissues, and improve patient comfort.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the tongue depressor 2 includes a pulling part 23, which is disposed at the end of the sliding part 22 away from the tongue depressor 21. The pulling part 23 is used to push and pull the sliding part 22.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pulling part 23 is disposed at the end of the sliding part 22 away from the tongue depressor 21, and the pulling part 23 is exposed to the outside. The pulling part 23 is a hook-shaped pull hook.

[0057] The traction part 23 is designed to allow the sliding part 22 to slide within the sliding through hole 11 to adjust the position of the tongue depressor 21. On the other hand, the hook-shaped traction part 23 can hook onto the pull rod fixed to the operating table to pull and fix the entire mouth opening, thus maintaining a stable opening.

[0058] like Figure 1As shown, the improved tonsil opening device includes a clamping component 5, which is disposed on the opening device body 1 and is used to restrict the movement of the sliding part 22.

[0059] Specifically, the clamping component 5 can restrict the sliding part 22 from sliding within the sliding through hole 11, thereby positioning the relative position of the tongue depressor 21 on the mouth opener body 1.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the mouth opener body 1 is provided with a clamping hole 12, which is connected to the sliding through hole 11; the clamping assembly 5 includes a pressing member and an elastic member. The pressing member is hinged to the mouth opener body 1, and the elastic member is provided at the hinge between the pressing member and the mouth opener body 1; the elastic member has elastic potential energy to insert one end of the pressing member into the sliding through hole 11 and clamp it with the sliding part 22, and the other end of the pressing member is used to press and lift the other end of the pressing member.

[0061] Specifically, a hinge block 13 is provided on the upper surface of the opening body 1, and a hinge groove is provided on the hinge block 13. The pressing member is disposed in the hinge groove and is hinged to the inner wall of the hinge groove.

[0062] One end of the pressing member is bent downwards to pass through the clamping hole 12 and enter the sliding through hole 11, and abut against the sliding part 22 inside the sliding through hole 11.

[0063] The elastic element is a spring, which is located at the hinge between the pressing element and the inner arm of the hinge groove.

[0064] When the pressing member is not subjected to external force but only to the elastic potential energy of the elastic element, the downward bent end can pass through the locking hole 12 and enter the sliding through hole 11, and abut against the sliding part 22 in the sliding through hole 11, thus restricting the movement of the sliding part 22 in the sliding through hole 11.

[0065] When it is necessary to adjust the size of the mouth opening, press down on the other end of the pressing member so that the other end of the pressing member extending into the sliding through hole 11 is no longer in contact with the sliding part 22. At this time, the sliding part 22 can be moved freely to adjust the position of the tongue depressor 21. After the tongue depressor 21 is adjusted to the appropriate position, no external force is applied to the pressing member. At this time, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the elastic member, the bent end of the pressing member will re-enter the sliding through hole 11 and press against the sliding part 22 to restrict the movement of the sliding part 22.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the improved tonsil opener includes an adjusting member 3 and a tooth clip 4. The adjusting member 3 is disposed on the body 1 of the opener; the tooth clip 4 is slidably disposed on the adjusting member 3 and is used to hook the teeth.

[0067] Specifically, gently separate the patient's upper and lower teeth, and slowly slide the modified tonsil mouth opener along the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue.

[0068] Slide the tooth clip 4 and adjust its position on the adjusting member 3 to secure the modified tonsil opening device to the teeth so that the tongue depressor 2 can then press down the tongue to open the oral cavity and expose the oropharynx.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, at least two teeth 4 are provided, and at least two teeth 4 are slidably provided on the adjusting member 3.

[0070] Specifically, at least two of the four teeth can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's tooth shape, which improves the adaptability of the modified tonsil opening device to the size of the oral cavity. This not only enhances the overall stability but also reduces repeated adjustments during surgery, shortens the operation time, reduces stimulation to body tissues, and further improves the patient's comfort. It solves the problem that existing tonsil opening devices are unstable and require repeated adjustments during surgery, which affects the surgical process and the patient's experience.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting member 3 includes a connecting part 31 and an adjusting part 32. The connecting part 31 is disposed on the opening body 1, and the adjusting part 32 is disposed on the connecting part 31. At least two teeth 4 are slidably disposed on the adjusting part 32.

[0072] Specifically, the adjusting member 3 is shaped like a curved rod, with one end of the connecting part 31 located on the upper surface of the mouth opener body 1, and one end of the adjusting part 32 located at the other end of the connecting part 31. To facilitate the tooth clip 4 to abut and fasten tightly against the teeth, the adjusting part 32 is positioned horizontally above the mouth opener body 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, two teeth 4 are provided, and the two teeth 4 are slidably disposed on the adjustment part 32.

[0074] The tooth clip 4 can hook onto the teeth. The distance between the two tooth clips 4 can be adjusted according to the curvature of the teeth so that the tooth clip 4 can stably hook onto the teeth and play a fixing role, so that the modified tonsil opening device can adapt to different tooth and oral cavity shapes.

[0075] Furthermore, to facilitate a more stable hooking of the teeth by the tooth clip 4, the shape of the adjustment part 32 is an arc that conforms to the shape of the oral cavity.

[0076] In summary, an improved tonsil opener includes an opener body 1, a tongue depressor 2, and a clamping assembly 5; the tongue depressor 2 is slidably disposed on the opener body 1, and the tongue depressor 2 is provided with a groove 211, and a bulging hole 212 is provided on the bottom of the groove 211; the clamping assembly 5 is disposed on the opener body 1, and the clamping assembly 5 is used to restrict the movement of the tongue depressor 2.

[0077] Gently separate the patient's upper and lower teeth, and slowly slide the modified tonsil mouth opener along the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue.

[0078] The tongue depressor 2 is slidably mounted on the mouth opener body 1. The position of the tongue depressor 2 on the mouth opener body 1 can be adjusted, so that the modified tonsil mouth opener can be adjusted according to the internal structure of the patient's oral cavity, so that the tongue depressor 2 can press down the tongue, thereby opening the oral cavity and exposing the oropharynx.

[0079] Once the position of the tongue depressor 2 is determined, the clamping assembly 5 can restrict the tongue depressor 2 to the current position.

[0080] Then, the tongue is pressed down using the tongue depressor 2. The groove 211 can relatively fix the tracheal tube, preventing the tracheal tube from shifting or coming out. After being squeezed, the tongue will bulge towards the groove 211, thereby reducing the volume exposed on both sides of the tongue depressor 21.

[0081] Meanwhile, the bulging orifice 212 can further reduce the tongue from protruding to both sides, thereby better exposing the lower poles of the tonsils on both sides, allowing doctors to obtain a better surgical field and shorten the operation time.

[0082] This solves the problem that using existing tonsil opening devices causes the tongue base tissue to bulge towards both sides of the tongue depressor, preventing proper exposure of the pharynx and the lower pole of the tonsils.
