Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a device for protecting teeth and gingival mucosa during endotracheal intubation. Background Technology

[0002] For patients undergoing general anesthesia or those requiring mechanical ventilation due to lack of spontaneous breathing, endotracheal intubation is necessary. After successful intubation, the endotracheal tube needs to be secured at the corner of the mouth. When the patient is not agitated or clenching their teeth during convulsions, there will be no damage to the endotracheal tube, oral mucosa, or teeth. However, when the patient clenches their teeth due to convulsions, the teeth often become loose or even fall out due to the tight bite. The gums and other oral mucosa may also be damaged due to friction from the endotracheal tube. In such cases, a bite block is often used as a protective device to passively open the patient's mouth, preventing the patient from clenching their teeth and closing the endotracheal tube, while also avoiding damage to the teeth and oral mucosa.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Utility Model Publication No. CN215083759U discloses a bite pad protection device for bronchoscopes used in endotracheal intubation patients, belonging to the field of medical device technology. It aims to solve the problem that existing bronchoscope bite pad protection devices have a fixed size and cannot be used by patients of different ages. The device includes an arc-shaped baffle, a cylinder, and an elastic band. The cylinder is integrally connected to the arc-shaped baffle. The arc-shaped baffle has a through hole communicating with the cylinder. Both the arc-shaped baffle and the cylinder have openings. The openings are equipped with buckles and locking blocks that are fixedly connected to the cylinder. The arc-shaped baffle has a connecting hole, and the elastic band is fixed to the arc-shaped baffle. This design prevents patients from biting the bronchoscope during bronchoscopy, facilitating the smooth operation. The opening size is adjustable, making it suitable for patients of different ages. The elastic band design makes the bite pad protection device more secure and prevents it from falling off.

[0004] The device is installed in the front teeth. When some children wear the device, because the children have few or no teeth and their teeth are fragile, the child opens and closes his mouth after the device is placed in the mouth, which directly causes wear and tear on the gums and teeth, and can easily lead to ulcers, tension blisters and loose and falling teeth. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for protecting the teeth and gingival mucosa of endotracheal tubes. A rigid support base serves as a rigid support for the upper and lower teeth or gums. At the same time, the rigid support base can support the gums from the side, preventing excessive friction between the upper and lower gums and the rigid support base due to opening and closing of the mouth. Meanwhile, the endotracheal tube limiting seat is connected to the rigid support base to limit the endotracheal tube, preventing the endotracheal tube from being squeezed when the mouth opens and closes, and also protecting the gums, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tracheal intubation tooth and gingival mucosa protection device, comprising: an arc-shaped rigid support base matching the shape of the dental arch; movable support plates are provided at the top and bottom of the rigid support base; a tracheal intubation tube limiting seat is connected to the outside of the rigid support base, and a locking groove for locking the tracheal intubation tube is provided on one side of the tracheal intubation tube limiting seat.

[0007] Preferably, a silicone pad is adhered to the outer side of the movable support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the silicone pad has an anti-slip groove.

[0009] Preferably, the inner cavity of the slot is provided with a clamp for locking and limiting the endotracheal tube.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention provides lateral support to the upper and lower gums via a rigid support base, ensuring that the teeth do not compress the endotracheal tube during biting. At the same time, the endotracheal tube is limited by a endotracheal tube limiting base, ensuring the stability of the endotracheal tube. It also prevents excessive friction between the upper and lower teeth and the endotracheal tube during biting, which could lead to tooth loss or gum trauma, thus helping to protect the teeth or oral mucosa.

[0012] The following are labeled in the diagram: 1. Rigid support base; 2. Movable support plate; 3. Clamp; 4. Endotracheal tube limiting seat; 5. Slot; 6. Anti-slip groove; 7. Silicone pad. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-2The device shown is a tooth and gingival mucosa protection device for endotracheal tubes, including an arc-shaped rigid support 1 that matches the shape of the dental arch, which can make the support more comfortable to wear. The top and bottom of the rigid support 1 are provided with movable support plates 2. An endotracheal tube limiting seat 4 is connected to the outside of the rigid support 1. A slot 5 for locking the endotracheal tube is provided on one side of the endotracheal tube limiting seat 4. The rigid support 1 provides lateral support to the upper and lower gums. The rigid support 1 is connected to the endotracheal tube limiting seat 4 to ensure that the teeth do not compress the endotracheal tube when biting. At the same time, the endotracheal tube can be limited by the endotracheal tube limiting seat 4 to ensure the stability of the endotracheal tube. It also prevents excessive friction between the upper and lower teeth and the endotracheal tube when biting, which could lead to tooth loss or gum trauma. This helps to protect the teeth or oral mucosa.

[0015] A silicone pad 7 is bonded to the outside of the movable support plate 2. The silicone pad 7 has an anti-slip groove 6 on its outside. The silicone pad 7 is designed to protect the patient's gums and prevent them from coming into contact with and abrading the movable support plate 2. At the same time, the anti-slip groove 6 can prevent the rigid support base 1 from sliding.

[0016] The inner cavity of the slot 5 is fitted with a clamp 3, which can clamp and limit the endotracheal tube. The clamp 3 makes it easy to limit the endotracheal tube in the slot 5 and prevent the endotracheal tube from moving back and forth in the endotracheal tube limiting seat 4.

[0017] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
