Description

spatula device

field of invention

The present invention relates to a medical inspection device, especially a tongue depressor device that can conveniently inspect a patient's throat and transmit the status of the throat back to the screen through video to facilitate observation and diagnosis.

Background technique

Existing equipment used for internal medical inspection of the human body is often equipped with a camera lens, and the video is sent back to the computer screen for further observation. For example, a kind of inspection equipment used for the throat of the human body. Related technologies include US Patent No. 6,381,484B1, This technology is shown in its Fig. 5, 6C, and it reveals a tongue depressor 52, and the rear end of spatula 52 is provided with a joint 54, and this joint 54 is connected the joint 26 of an optical fiber cable 24, and this joint 26 place is provided with an optical fiber The camera 42 uses the fiber optic camera 42 to take pictures of the patient's oral cavity. Another U.S. Patent No. 6,350,235B1, this technology is as shown in Figures 1 and 2, which discloses that the rear end of a tongue depressor 10 is inserted into a bracket 13, and the bracket 13 is provided with a light bulb 15 and a video camera 18, The camera 18 is used to remotely photograph the patient's throat.

In the aforementioned existing inspection equipment used in the human mouth, throat or throat, the cameras (or miniature lenses) are not located on the spatula, that is, the cameras are located on the components connected to the rear of the spatula, such as The joint or bracket of the fiber optic cable is separated, so that when the tongue depressor goes deep into the mouth, the tongue will easily block the camera at the rear end of the tongue depressor due to physiological reactions, especially for infants. Or when a child patient, the resistance of the tongue stirs or cries and bites the tongue depressor, it is not easy for the camera to complete the shooting operation quickly, but it often takes a lot of time, and it is a long-term torture for infants and children. It is easy to cause children's physical and mental trauma or medical fear; moreover, the video camera 42 is located on the rear end of the tongue depressor, so it is impossible to photograph the deep part of the patient's throat, so as to quickly analyze the condition and issue a correct prescription. Also, because the miniature camera is connected to the display device by a cable, it is often entangled and bound by the cable in operation, which is not an ideal design, and there is a need for further improvement. Therefore, how to thoroughly improve the deficiencies in the use of the existing throat or throat position inspection equipment, and provide a convenient and feasible technical solution, should be explored and made a breakthrough.
