Description

Dental medical instrument cleaning device with stabbing prevention function

[0001] The present invention relates to a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a function to prevent hand pricks, and more particularly, to a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a function to prevent hand pricks, which prevents safety accidents such as hand pricks that may occur during the process of brushing and cleaning used dental medical instruments, while enabling precise, convenient, and rapid brushing and cleaning of a treatment unit and safely storing and storing cleaned dental medical instruments.

[0002] As is well known, dental medical instruments are configured with a cutting edge formed by a sharp, pointed blade at one end or both ends of a round handle. In order to reuse these dental medical instruments, it is most important to ensure thorough hygiene to prevent secondary infection or cross-infection.

[0003] According to the Infection Control Guidelines for Dental Care Facilities, instruments and equipment contaminated with blood, saliva, cement preparations and other contaminants must be treated before drying, and if it is difficult to clean immediately, they should be immersed in a detergent. However, organic matter must be completely removed before sterilization, so it is recommended to wear utility gloves to prevent puncture reactions when cleaning instruments.

[0004] In this field, the dental medical instruments that have been used are immediately immersed in a disinfectant solution to chemically disinfect, dissolve contaminants, and reduce the risk of infection, then are cleaned by brushing away foreign substances using a cleaning brush, and then are subjected to ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, drying, sterilization in a sterilizer, and storage.

[0005] It is used in the first step of conventional instrument sterilization and cleaning using a cleaning brush after chemical disinfection to separate contaminants and in the rinsing step after using an ultrasonic device.

[0006] The conventional process of cleaning dental medical instruments using a cleaning brush involves a medical professional or other administrator holding the dental medical instrument with one hand, and then cleaning the instrument by brushing the instrument with the cleaning brush held with the other hand.

[0007] However, in the process of cleaning dental medical instruments using the above cleaning brush, frequent physical injuries or stabbing accidents occur in medical workers due to the sharp, pointed parts in both directions.

[0008] In other words, most dental medical instruments are constantly exposed to the risk of bodily injury (stabbing) during the cleaning process due to their sharp and pointed double-edged structure, even when protective gear is used, and laboratory safety accidents, including accidental accidents that occur regardless of the level of skill, are steadily increasing.

[0009] Based on the risk assessment under the Industrial Safety and Health Act, stabbing accidents are biological hazards and hazardous factors, and since they occur accidentally, there are limitations to resolving them through education.

[0010] Therefore, in the field of dental medical instruments, there is an urgent need for the development of a dental medical instrument cleaning device that can safely, quickly, and conveniently clean dental medical instruments having sharp cutting edges formed at one or both ends of a rod-shaped handle.

[0011] The purpose of the present invention, which was conceived in response to the above-mentioned needs, is to provide a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a function for preventing hand prick accidents that can prevent safety accidents such as hand prick accidents that occur during the process of brushing and cleaning used dental medical instruments, while enabling precise, convenient, and rapid brushing and cleaning of the treatment unit and safe transportation and storage of cleaned dental medical instruments.

[0012] The above-mentioned object is achieved by the following configuration provided in the present invention.

[0013] A dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function according to the present invention,

[0014] A cassette having a handle support section having upper open alignment ports formed therein for longitudinally supporting a round bar-shaped handle of a dental medical device having a handle formed at least at an end of the round bar-shaped handle, and an upper open cassette space having a handle support section formed at a side of the handle support section and having a handle support section in which handle sections of dental medical devices supporting the round bar-shaped handle are arranged longitudinally;

[0015] A pressing plate that presses and presses the circular handles of dental medical devices aligned to each alignment port of the above handle support section; and

[0016] It is characterized by including a cleaning brush that enters the above-mentioned treatment section and brushes the treatment sections of dental medical instruments pressed by the pressing plate to clean the treatment sections.

[0017] Preferably, the rod-shaped handle portion of the dental medical device is arranged in an idle structure in an alignment slot formed in a handle support section, and the pressing plate is configured to rotate the dental medical device including the pressurized rod-shaped handle forward and backward by moving forward and backward so that the cleaning angle of the treatment end is changed.

[0018] More preferably, the above-mentioned stand further comprises a fixed support member for supporting the stacking,

[0019] A rotating part consisting of a support shaft and an axial groove is formed between the upper part of the fixed support and the lower part of the holder, so that the holder rotates horizontally 180° around the support shaft, thereby changing the cleaning direction of the treatment ends formed at both ends of the dental medical device aligned to the alignment block.

[0020] In addition, the laminated support portion of the above-mentioned support member is formed with an inclined support surface that supports the rotatably connected cassette in a downward direction, and the cassette is arranged in an inclined direction on the upper portion of the support member through the laminated support portion inclined in one direction, so that the contaminated washing water remaining in the cassette during the brushing and cleaning process of dental medical instruments flows down in an inclined direction and is quickly drained.

[0021] In addition, it further includes a compression clamp that pressurizes and fixes dental medical instruments arranged in the cassette and aligned in the upper open alignment port.

[0022] The above compression clamp is configured to include a swivel bracket arranged in a vertical rotational structure through a hinge in a cassette space, the swivel end of which swivels up and down around the hinge; and a pressure fixing member arranged on the swivel end of the swivel bracket and pressurizing and fixing dental medical instruments aligned in an alignment port, so that during the brushing and cleaning process of the treatment unit, the clamp rotates outward around the hinge to open the treatment unit arrangement section, and when the brushing and cleaning is completed, the clamp rotates inward around the hinge to pressurize and fix the dental medical instruments that have completed the brushing and cleaning.

[0023] In addition, the outer side of the treatment section formed in the cassette is opened by an open path, and a side cover for opening and closing the open path is arranged in an upper and lower hinge structure on the outer side of the cassette in which the open path is formed.

[0024] As described above, in the present invention, dental medical devices requiring cleaning are fixed in a standardized manner through the above-mentioned stable, standardized alignment fixation, thereby preventing safety accidents such as dental hygienists being pricked by sharp prongs.

[0025] By configuring the standardized storage of dental medical instruments that have been brushed and cleaned, to enable the bulk movement and bulk storage of the cleaned dental medical instruments, the inconvenience of taking out the brushed and cleaned dental medical instruments one by one and putting them into a sterilization dryer, and storing the sterilized and dried dental medical instruments in a separate sorting storage container is eliminated.

[0026] In addition, by adding a support member fixed within the washing bowl, it is possible to fix a tray lined with dental medical instruments requiring cleaning in a standardized manner within the washing bowl of the washing table, and also, by horizontally rotating the tray by 180°, it is possible to change the cleaning direction of the treatment ends formed at both ends of the dental medical instruments.

[0027] Therefore, dental workers can conveniently brush and clean the handles of each dental medical instrument by ergonomically changing the direction of cleaning of the dental medical instruments, and in particular, the tray is formed to be inclined to one side by a laminated support member having an inclined support surface, thereby ensuring a stable field of vision and facilitating faster drainage of the contaminated cleaning water, which has the unique feature of enabling quick and stable hygienic cleaning of dental medical instruments.

[0029] Figures 5 to 7 show the state of cleaning a dental medical device by brushing using a dental medical device cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 8 shows the storage state of dental medical instruments using a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] Hereinafter, a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function, which is proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0032] FIGS. 1 to 4 show the overall and detailed configuration of a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 5 to 7 show a state of brushing and cleaning a dental medical instrument using a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 shows a state of storing and storing dental medical instruments using a dental medical instrument cleaning device having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] A dental medical instrument cleaning device (1) having a stabbing accident prevention function proposed as a preferred embodiment in the present invention is a means for cleaning dental medical instruments (100) that have been used, such as curettes and scalers, which are tartar removal devices.

[0034] The above dental medical devices (100) are each formed with a cutting edge (120) having a sharp and pointed blade at both ends of a round handle (110).

[0035] The present invention prevents safety accidents such as stabbing accidents due to brushing of dental medical devices (100) by brushing and cleaning the treatment ends (120) of the dental medical devices (100) in a uniform manner while the dental medical devices (100) are fixed in a standardized manner, and also ensures more stable cleaning of contaminants remaining in each treatment end (120) to ensure reliability of cleaning.

[0036] The dental medical instrument cleaning device (1) having the above-described stabbing accident prevention function comprises a cassette (10) having a handle support section (11a) formed with upper open alignment ports (12) that support a round bar-shaped handle (110) of a dental medical instrument (100) having a handle end (120) formed at least at an end of the round bar-shaped handle (100) in a longitudinal direction in an idle rotational structure, and a handle support section (11b) formed on each side of the handle support section (11a) to longitudinally arrange the handle ends (120) of the dental medical instrument (100) supporting the round bar-shaped handle (110) in the handle support section (11a). A pressing plate (20) that presses and presses all of the round-shaped handles (110) of dental medical devices (100) that are seated in each alignment port (12) of the handle support section (11a) so that the dental medical devices (100) including the round-shaped handles (110) that are pressed and pressed by the pressing plate are rotated forward and backward in the alignment port (12) so that the cleaning angle of the treatment section (120) is changed; and a cleaning brush (40) that enters the treatment section arrangement section (11b) and brushes the treatment sections (120) of the dental medical devices (100) that rotate forward and backward in the alignment port (12) by the forward and backward movement of the pressing plate (20) so as to clean the treatment sections (120).

[0037] In this embodiment, a pedestal support (30) is added to be placed in a washing bowl (210) formed in a washing table (200) such as a sink, so that a cassette (10) containing dental medical devices (100) requiring washing is supported at a set height on the bottom of the washing bowl (210) by means of the pedestal support (30).

[0038] It is preferable that the above cassette (10) and the pressing plate (20) be made of a plastic material such as PCT (polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) that can be sterilized and dried at high temperatures and is harmless to the human body.

[0039] The above cassette (10) has a cassette space (11) formed with an open top, and drain holes (13) formed on the bottom surface as a drainage path for the washing water sprayed during the washing process of the dental medical device (100).

[0040] In this embodiment, the drain holes (13) of the long holes are formed in a radial structure on the bottom of the cassette space (11) to ensure smooth drainage of the washing water while sufficiently maintaining the durability of the cassette (10).

[0041] And, the cassette space (11) is formed with a handle support section (11a) that supports the round handle (110) of the dental medical device (100) in an idle rotation structure, and a handle arrangement section (11b) in which a handle (120) formed at the end of the round handle (110) is arranged on both sides, and an open state is formed by an opening (11c) on both sides of the cassette space (11).

[0042] In the above handle support section (11a), alignment ports (12) corresponding to the specifications of the round handle (110) of the dental medical device (100) requiring cleaning are formed in a parallel structure, so that the dental medical devices (100) are arranged in a parallel structure in the longitudinal direction in the cassette space (11) through the alignment ports (12).

[0043] The above alignment port (12) is configured as a hemispherical, open-top type, and the circular handle (12) of the dental medical device (100) made of a circular rod is arranged in an idle rotation structure in each alignment port (12).

[0044] In this embodiment, alignment ports (12) are formed symmetrically on both sides of the inner side of the cassette space (11) in parallel, so that the round handles (110) of dental medical devices (100) requiring cleaning are supported in an idle rotation structure on the alignment ports (12) arranged symmetrically on the left and right. At this time, the dental medical devices (100) supported on each alignment port (12) are spaced apart from the bottom surface of the cassette space (11) by a set height.

[0045] In addition, the pressing plate (20) includes a pressing plate body (21) in which a grip portion (22) is formed, and a side guide (10a) is formed in front and behind the cassette space (11) formed in the cassette (10) to prevent the pressing plate (20) from being dislodged left and right.

[0046] In addition, on both sides of the lower portion of the press plate body (20), elastic contact pads (23) are arranged to elastically contact the circular handle (110) of the dental medical device (10) or the neck of the treatment unit (120) arranged in a parallel structure in the longitudinal direction within the cassette space (11) through the alignment ports (12).

[0047] Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a dental professional who holds the pressing plate (20) through the holding portion (22) moves the pressing plate (20) forward and backward in the longitudinal direction, thereby aligning the alignment ports (12) in the longitudinal direction and supporting the pressing of dental medical devices (100) arranged in a parallel structure, and implementing the collective idle rotation of the pressing-supported dental medical devices, thereby changing the cleaning angle of the treatment unit (120).

[0048] In addition, the cleaning brush (40) is configured as a handy type in which a cleaning head (42) having brushes (42a) formed at the tip of a rod-shaped handle (41) is arranged, so that a dental professional holds the rod-shaped handle (41) and then rubs the cleaning head (42) against the treatment ends (120) of dental medical instruments (100) arranged on the tray (10) to brush and clean the treatment ends (120).

[0049] Accordingly, the dental professional aligns each dental medical device (100) requiring cleaning in the left and right longitudinal directions in the alignment ports (12) having corresponding specifications, and then presses and presses the dental medical devices (100) arranged in an idle rotation structure in the alignment ports (12) using the pressing plate (20) with one hand, and then scrubs the treatment ends (120) of the dental medical devices (100) arranged in the treatment end arrangement section (11b) of the cassette space (11) using the cleaning brush (40) held with the other hand, thereby performing a batch cleaning of the treatment ends (120).

[0050] That is, each dental medical device (100) arranged in an idle structure in each alignment port (12) by a pressing plate (20) that moves forward and backward along the cassette space (11) rotates forward and backward by elastically rotating friction with an elastic contact pad (23) to change the cleaning angle of the treatment unit (120) located in the cassette space (11).

[0051] In this process, the dental professional removes contaminants adhered to the treatment unit (120) through a brushing cleaning process in which the dental medical device (100) arranged in the treatment unit arrangement section (11b) is scrubbed with a cleaning brush (40).

[0052] Thus, the dental medical instrument cleaning device (1) having a stabbing accident prevention function according to the present embodiment changes the cleaning angle of the dental medical instrument (100) by moving the pressing plate (20) forward and backward, and simultaneously cleans the treatment ends (120) of the dental medical instrument (100) at various angles by using the cleaning brush (40) held with the other hand, thereby ensuring greater convenience and reliability in cleaning.

[0053] At this time, the dental medical devices (100) requiring cleaning are aligned in an idle rotation structure in the alignment port (12) and fixed by being pressed by the pressing plate (20), so that safety accidents such as the dental worker's hand or other body part being pricked by the treatment unit (120) due to the fixation and alignment of the dental medical devices (100) being disturbed during the brushing cleaning process using the cleaning brush (40) are prevented.

[0054] In particular, in the present invention, the dental medical devices (100) rotate in a forward and backward direction around the alignment port (12) by advancing and retreating the pressing plate (20), thereby changing the cleaning angle of the treatment unit (120) that requires cleaning, so that the treatment unit (120) changes the cleaning area by the cleaning brush (40) at various angles, thereby realizing more precise brushing cleaning.

[0055] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned giant support (30) includes a support body (31) having a giant support part (32) formed thereon for supporting a tray (10) in which dental medical devices (100) are arranged and stored, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 5 to 6, and a support piece (33) is arranged on the bottom surface of the support body (31).

[0056] As in this embodiment, when the tray (10) is supported at a set height within the washing bowl (210) of the washing table (200) by means of a support member (30) configured separately from the tray (10), the tray (10) containing the dental medical instruments (100) requiring washing is supported and fixed within the washing bowl (210) at a height suitable for the body type of the worker, and as a result, the worker can brush and wash the dental medical instruments (100) in a comfortable posture, and the contaminated washing water generated during the washing process of the dental medical instruments (100) falls due to its own weight and is smoothly drained through the drain pipe (211) formed in the washing bowl (210).

[0057] In the present invention, as an example, as shown in FIG. 3, a corresponding fastening hole (33b) and a fastening pipe (31a) are formed correspondingly on the lower portion of the support piece (33) and the support body (31), so that the support piece (33) is assembled in a standardized manner on the lower surface of the support body by an assembly bolt (35) that enters along the fastening hole (33b) and is fastened to the fastening pipe (31a).

[0058] In this embodiment, a unique close-fitting fixing structure is formed on the support piece (33) arranged on the bottom surface of the support body (31), so that it is fixed in a standardized close contact with the bottom of the washing bowl (210) of the washing table (200), thereby preventing the phenomenon of the support (30) moving during the brushing and cleaning process of dental medical instruments (100) aligned on the tray (10).

[0059] To this end, in this embodiment, upper and lower penetrating press-fit installation holes (33a) are formed in the support piece (33) formed in the lower part of the support body (31).

[0060] And, in each of the above press-fit installation holes (33a), a support pin member (34) made of an elastic material such as silicone, rubber, or urethane is press-fitted and placed, so that the support piece (33) and the support body (31) that has the support piece (33) fixed to the bottom are elastically fixed to the bottom of the washing bowl (210) through the support pin members (34).

[0061] Preferably, the support pin member (34) is made of an elastic body in which an adhesive head (34b) having a relatively larger diameter than the pin body (34a) is formed on the upper portion of the pin body (34a) penetrating the press-fit installation hole (33a), and a support head (34c) having a relatively larger diameter than the pin body (34a) is formed integrally on the lower portion of the pin body (34a).

[0062] Accordingly, the support pin member (34) penetrating the above-mentioned press-fit installation hole (33a) is installed at each point of the support piece (33) in a state of being vertically secured through the securing head (34b) and the supporting head (34c), and each of the support pin members (34) is elastically supported by being in close contact with the bottom of the washing bowl (210) through the supporting head (34c) protruding from the bottom surface of the support piece (33).

[0063] More preferably, a vacuum suction port (35a) is formed at the bottom of the assembly bolt (35), so that the support piece (33) fixed to the bottom of the support body (31) through the assembly bolt is vacuum-absorbed to the bottom of the washing bowl (220) through the vacuum suction port (35a), thereby being more tightly fixed to the bottom of the washing bowl (220).

[0064] Accordingly, the movement of the giant support (30) supported on the bottom of the cleaning bowl (220) is suppressed during the brushing cleaning process of dental medical instruments (100) aligned by the support pin member (34) or vacuum suction port (35a) arranged on the support piece (33), and as a result, standardized brushing cleaning of the dental medical instruments (200) is possible.

[0065] In addition, the cassette (10) is configured to be detachable from the stacked support member (32) of the support member (30), so that the cassette (10) is fixedly supported in a standardized manner within the washing bowl (110) of the washing table (100) through the support member (30) in the process of storing and arranging dental medical instruments (100) requiring cleaning, and in the process of batch transporting and storing dental medical instruments (100) that have been brushed and washed, the cassette (10) is easily separated from the support member (30) to perform a standardized transport function and storage storage function of the stored and aligned dental medical instruments (100).

[0066] In particular, as shown in FIG. 7, the cassette (10) is mounted on the laminated support member (32) of the pedestal support member (30) in an axial joint structure, so that the dental professional finishes cleaning the treatment end (120) formed on one end of the circular handle (110), and then horizontally rotates the cassette (10) mounted on the pedestal support member (30) by 180° to position the treatment end (120) formed on the other end of the circular handle (110) close to the cleaning bowl (210) to clean it by brushing. That is, the tray switches the cleaning area through an equiangular rotation of 180°.

[0067] Preferably, the shaft joint structure includes a support shaft (36) formed on a laminated support member (32) formed on the upper portion of a giant support member (30); and an shaft hole (14) formed to penetrate the cassette (10) upwardly and downwardly so that the support shaft (36) is inserted therein and mounted on the support shaft (36) as a shaft joint structure.

[0068] And, the bottom surface of the cassette (10) is formed with concentric ring-shaped support rims (35) made of elastic material on the laminated support portion (32) of the support base (30) on which the support base is laminated, so that the cassette (10) is fixed to the support surface of the support base (30) through the ring-shaped contact rims (35) by the force generated during the brushing and cleaning process of the dental medical device (100), thereby suppressing the occurrence of movement.

[0069] At this time, cut drainage sections (32a-a) are formed by locally cutting the annular support rims (35) in each of the above-mentioned annular support rims (35), so that contaminated washing water is drained along the cut drainage sections (32a-a) between the annular support rims (35) arranged in a concentric structure, thereby preventing the phenomenon of contaminated washing water remaining between the annular support rims (35).

[0070] In particular, in this embodiment, the laminated support portion (32) of the above-mentioned giant support (30) is configured as an inclined support surface inclined in one direction, so that the cassette (20) is laminated in an inclined state in one direction on the upper portion of the giant support (30) through the laminated support portion (32) inclined in one direction at a set inclination angle (a°).

[0071] Accordingly, during the washing process of dental medical devices (100) arranged and stored in the tray (10), the contaminated washing water remaining in the tray (10) flows down the inclined side and is quickly drained along the drain pipe (211) of the washing bowl (210), thereby eliminating the phenomenon of contaminated washing water remaining in the cassette (10).

[0072] Thus, during the brushing and cleaning process of the dental medical device (100), the dental professional cleans the treatment ends (120) of the dental medical devices (100) arranged in the treatment end arrangement section (11b) formed at one end by arranging one end of the tray (10) in a manner inclined to one side through an inclined support surface, and then rotates the tray (10) 180° equilaterally around the support axis (36) to arrange the other end of the tray (10) in a manner inclined to one side through the inclined support surface, thereby cleaning the treatment ends of the dental medical devices arranged in the treatment end arrangement section (11b) formed at the other end. As a result, the contaminated cleaning water discharged during the cleaning process of the dental medical devices (100) flows down the inclined side and is smoothly drained within the cassette.

[0073] In addition, in this embodiment, the cleaned dental medical devices (100) are fixed in a standardized manner in a cassette (10) for cleaning the dental medical devices (100), thereby preventing the dental medical devices (100) from coming off during transportation or storage, and by closing the opening (11c) of the cassette space (11) that is open during the brushing cleaning process, the contamination of the stored dental medical devices (100) is minimized, while the exposure of the cutting edges (120) formed at both ends of the dental medical devices (100) is prevented, thereby preventing safety accidents such as hand stabbing by the cutting edges.

[0074] To this end, in this embodiment, the side cover (50) that opens and closes the open passage (11c) formed on both sides of the cassette (10) is arranged in an upper and lower hinge structure, so that during the brushing and cleaning process of the dental medical device (100), the side cover (50) rotates outward around the hinge (52) to open the open passage (11c), thereby ensuring stable discharge of foreign substances or cleaning water generated during the brushing and cleaning process.

[0075] In addition, during movement and storage of the dental medical device (100), the side cover (50) closes the opening (11c) by turning inward around the hinge (52) as shown in FIG. 8, thereby preventing the dental medical device (100) from advancing arbitrarily through the opening (11c), preventing dust or foreign substances from entering the cassette space (11) through the opening (11c), and preventing safety accidents such as brush pricks and loss due to the advancing of the dental medical device.

[0076] In addition, the present embodiment includes a compression clamp (60) that pressurizes and fixes dental medical devices (100) arranged in the cassette (10) and aligned in the upper open alignment port (12).

[0077] The above compression clamp (60) includes a swivel bracket (61) that is arranged in a vertical swivel structure through a hinge (61a) in a cassette space (11) and has a swivel end (61b) that swivels up and down around the hinge (61a); and a pressure fixing member (62) that is arranged on the swivel end (61b) of the swivel bracket (61) and pressurizes and fixes dental medical devices (100) aligned in the alignment port (12).

[0078] The above pressurized fixing member (62) is formed with upper open alignment ports (12) and corresponding lower open compression slots (62a), so that dental medical devices (100) arranged in a parallel structure within the cassette space (11) are compressed through the compression slots (62a) aligned with the upper open alignment ports (12).

[0079] That is, the dental medical devices (100) placed in the above cassette space (11) are fixed by being compressed and divided in an upper and lower crosswise manner by the upper open alignment port (12) and the lower open compression slot (62a).

[0080] In addition, press holes (61b-a) are formed in the swivel end (61b) of the swivel bracket (61), and press projections (62b) are formed correspondingly in the press fixing piece (62), so that the press fixing piece is fixed by being pressed into the press hole of the swivel bracket.

[0081] With this configuration, it is possible to replace and install a pressurized fixing piece (62) having a pressurized slot (62a) of a corresponding standard according to the standard of dental medical devices (100) requiring pressurized fixation, and the pressurized fixing piece (62) is made of an elastic material such as silicone that can flexibly pressurize and fix dental medical devices (100).

[0082] Accordingly, the above compression clamp (60) rotates outward about the hinge (61a) to open the treatment section (11b) during the brushing cleaning process of the treatment section (120) to secure sufficient brushing cleaning space, and when the brushing cleaning is completed, it rotates inward about the hinge (61a) to pressurize and fix the dental medical devices (100) that have been brushed, thereby stably preventing the dental medical devices (100) from coming off during the transport or storage process of the dental medical devices (100) that have been brushed.
