Dental roll cotton with a hollow structure to prevent airway obstruction.

Abstract

To provide a dental roll of cotton with a hollow structure that ensures airflow into the airway without obstructing the ventilation function of the lungs, even if it is accidentally aspirated into the trachea. [Solution] The dental roll cotton 1, which has a hollow structure, is manufactured by either inserting a hollow structure made of nylon or paper with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm into the center when the dental roll cotton is made, or by manufacturing the dental roll cotton in advance so that the center has a hollow structure 2 with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm, and hardening the inner wall of the hollow structure with resin or the like so that the hollow structure is not easily deformed by external pressure. As the dental roll cotton has a hollow structure 2, even if the roll cotton itself becomes wet with saliva or moisture, the air permeability of the center is ensured because of the hollow structure 2.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dental roll wadding having a hollow structure that can ensure the inflow of air into the airway without interfering with the lung ventilation function even if accidentally swallowed and entering the trachea.

Background Art

[0002] In medical practices, cotton and gauze are often used during treatment. [[ID=*14]]Especially in the field of dental treatment, cotton and gauze are frequently used during oral treatment. In addition, a dental roll wadding made by rolling cotton is used for the purpose of protecting the treatment site from saliva and squeezing out the lips, buccal mucosa, and tongue during oral treatment. Conventional dental roll waddings are made by rolling cotton and are in the shape of a rod with a completely filled interior in terms of shape. When the dental roll wadding is completely dry, it has a little breathability, but if it absorbs even a little moisture such as saliva and becomes wet, its breathability completely disappears.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Currently commercially available dental roll waddings are made by rolling cotton and are in the shape of a rod with a completely filled interior in terms of shape. In addition, the role of the dental roll wadding during dental treatment is to be used for the purpose of protecting the treatment site from saliva and squeezing out the lips, buccal mucosa, and tongue. When the dental roll wadding is completely dry, it has a little breathability, but if it absorbs even a little moisture such as saliva and becomes wet, its breathability completely disappears. The present invention aims to improve the shape of dental roll cotton and provide a dental roll cotton having a hollow structure that maintains breathability in the center even when the dental roll cotton itself absorbs moisture and becomes wet. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Conventional dental cotton rolls are made by rolling up cotton fibers into a roll, and their shape is essentially a solid, rod-like form. In order to achieve the above objective, this invention employs the following technical means. When manufacturing dental rolls of cotton, a hollow, straw-like structure made of nylon or paper with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm is inserted into the center, or the rolls are manufactured with a hollow structure of approximately 2-3 mm in diameter in the center, and the inner wall of the hollow structure is hardened with resin or other material to prevent it from easily deforming due to external pressure. By creating this hollow-structured dental roll of cotton, even when it becomes wet with saliva or moisture, the hollow structure ensures breathability in the center. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] During dental treatment, patients are frequently treated while lying horizontally in the dental chair. Furthermore, the instruments and fillings used during treatment are often relatively small. While dentists take the utmost care during treatment, accidental ingestion can occasionally occur. Dental cotton swabs are relatively small, and accidental ingestion by patients can happen. While ingestion of a dental cotton swab through the pharynx to the esophagus is usually not a serious accident, if it is aspirated through the larynx to the trachea, it can cause airway obstruction and lead to a very serious accident. In fact, there have been cases where dental cotton swabs entered a patient's trachea during pediatric dental treatment, causing airway obstruction and resulting in death. By using the hollow dental roll cotton of this invention, even if the dental roll cotton is accidentally inhaled and enters the trachea during dental treatment, breathing can be continued without causing airway obstruction. Ensuring breathing prevents the risk of the patient losing their life, and subsequent treatment can be carried out calmly. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a dental roll of cotton having a hollow structure according to the present invention. Forms for implementing the invention

[0008] The embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Conventional dental rolls are rod-shaped with cotton rolled up and filled to the center. In Figure 1, the structure of the dental roll cotton (1) having a hollow structure is such that when the dental roll cotton is made, a hollow structure (2) made of nylon or paper with a diameter of about 2 to 3 mm is inserted into the center, or the dental roll cotton is made so that the center has a hollow structure (2) with a diameter of about 2 to 3 mm in advance, and the inner wall of the hollow structure is hardened with resin or the like so that the hollow structure is not easily deformed by external pressure. As the dental roll cotton has a hollow structure (2), even if the roll cotton itself becomes wet with saliva or moisture, the air permeability of the center is ensured because of the hollow structure (2).

Claims

[Claim 1] When manufacturing dental rolls of cotton, a hollow, straw-like structure (2) made of nylon or paper with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm is inserted into the center, or the dental rolls are manufactured with a hollow structure (2) with a diameter of approximately 2-3 mm in the center from the beginning, and the inner wall of the hollow structure is hardened with resin or the like to prevent it from easily deforming due to external pressure. By manufacturing the dental roll cotton so that the center has a straw-like hollow structure (2), the cotton dental roll cotton maintains breathability in the center even when it becomes wet with saliva or moisture, due to its hollow structure.
