Description

DESCRIPTION

Support for ophthalmic surgery practice

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and more specifically to the field of ophthalmic surgical training instruments.

The object of the present invention is a new support, simple, easy to transport, store and assemble, which will offer the possibility to future ophthalmologists and doctors, to practice ophthalmic surgery techniques on pig's eye that in the short term they will have to apply to their patients. .

It has been conceived and made in order to obtain notable advantages over other existing means of similar purposes: the difficulty of ophthalmologists and/or future ophthalmologists in having a practical tool with which to practice surgical techniques on pig's eye in your own home or even in ophthalmology courses where new techniques are taught.

This model comes to solve this problem due to its ease of assembly, transport, cleaning and even low cost, compared to the models that currently exist on the market.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently on the market there are models of ophthalmic surgery practices that simulate the human head and in the ophthalmic cavity the pig's eye is placed on which it is going to be practiced.

The main drawback of these models is their cost (they involve a significant outlay) and also, they are large models that cannot be moved comfortably from one place to another.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The support model for practicing ophthalmic surgery is equipped with four individual components that, when assembled, constitute the support for ophthalmic surgical training. The fact of being broken down into four parts facilitates subsequent cleaning in a very comfortable way.

The dimensions of the support are as follows: 93x93x58 mm (width x length x height).

The base has four lugs with a hole that will be used to anchor the support on a base using suction cups.

Said base also has a slight convex surface that serves as a deposit of the liquid material that the eye on which it is being practiced expels.

Next, we place another base that is the support on which we screw the two main components of the model. This second base is guided by four protuberances and between them there is a small space so that the fluid that could fall is never subjected to pressure with the lower surface of this second base.

Next, we screw on the cylinder. This component is characterized by having two eye support versions:

.- At one end, mechanized half sphere the size of an eyeball.

.- At its other extreme, a flat base also used to support the eyeball, mainly if it has periocular tissue that has not been removed before the simulated surgery.

All of this is connected by machining a longitudinal central hole through which the fluids are drained towards the previously mentioned convex surface.

Finally, we close the bracket with another component that screws onto the cylinder. Said thread has two purposes: finalizing the assembly of all the components, making the entire support supportive, and the main one: exerting the necessary pressure to keep fixed the eye on which we are going to practice. Said thread offers the user to adjust the tension that we want on the eye.

This model solves the problem that ophthalmologists and/or future ophthalmologists have of having at home or practice centers, as well as organizers of courses in new surgical techniques, an advantageous model in terms of transport, cleanliness, manageability and cost.

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of images is attached to this specification whose figures will help to more easily understand the innovations and advantages of the object device. of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1.- Isometric view of the invention.

Figure 2.- Exploded view listing each of the components of the invention. Figure 3.- Elevation and plan of the invention, observing, from the section, the different machining of each of the components, both for holding the eye and for the evacuation of liquids.

Figure 4.- Elevation and plan of component 4, where to observe the two versions of the eyeball support based on the periocular tissues that could not be removed from the eye.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the mentioned figures, it can be seen how the device is made up of four pieces that can be connected to each other and whose description, made below, would list the optimal way of assembly:

Piece 4 is the component that will be fixed on the table or any other horizontal and flat object, through the four holes that protrude from its sides and where some suction cups are assembled.

This component also has four protrusions that serve as a guide for part 3.

Piece 3 has four holes through which we will introduce said protuberances, this part of the assembly being guided.

This part 3 also has a threaded machining that serves as a support for part 2. The assembly of this part 2 on part 3 is up to the limit of the thread. Based on the periocular tissues that remain in the pig's eye, one type of machining or another of part 2 will be selected.

Finally, we assemble part 1, which is made up of a cylinder inside which the necessary thread to fix on part 2 is machined. Said thread provides the necessary adjustment to exert more or less pressure on the training eye.

Piece 1 consists of a hole in the upper part through which the doctor or future doctor will perform ophthalmic surgery.

In this way, the eye is perfectly subject and immobilized, without the possibility of movement, mainly due to the adjustment made by the user through a greater or lesser screwing of part 1 onto part 2.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

The support for practicing ophthalmic surgery, the object of this Utility Model, will be made of plastic material.

Claims (6)
