Abstract

The intubation laryngoscope comprises a handle (2) containing a lamp (3) and a disposable tongue depressing blade (1). This contains a light guide (9) and can be ejected from the handle.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un laryngoscope d'intubation comportant un dispositif qui permet d'éjecter facilement la lame abaisse-langue après son utilisation. Le système d'éclairage est indépendant de la lame et peut être utilisé plusieurs fois.  The present invention relates to an intubation laryngoscope comprising a device which allows the tongue depressor blade to be easily ejected after use. The lighting system is independent of the blade and can be used several times.

Après utilisation, Les lames de laryngoscopes doivent être désinfectées. Il existe différentes techniques mais la procédure est longue et coûteuse. Le dispositif d'éclairage est généralement lié à la lame ce qui rend coûteux le remplacement systématique de celleci après utilisation.  After use, The laryngoscope blades must be disinfected. There are different techniques, but the procedure is long and expensive. The lighting device is generally linked to the blade, which makes it costly to replace it systematically after use.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une poignée munie d'un dispositif d'éjection de la lame abaisse-langue. Après utilisation, il devient alors possible de jeter la lame sans la toucher avec les mains. Le système d'éclairage est logé dans la poignée du laryngoscope ce qui permet de jeter uniquement la lame en plastique.  The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it comprises a handle provided with a device for ejecting the tongue depressor blade. After use, it then becomes possible to discard the blade without touching it with your hands. The lighting system is housed in the handle of the laryngoscope which allows to throw only the plastic blade.

Le système d'éclairage est logé à l'intérieur de la poignée du laryngoscope pour le protéger des projections de salive. Un guide lumière, appartenant à la lame, assure le transfert de la lumière émise vers l'extrémité de ladite lame. L'extrémité du guide lumière est elle-même fermée par une lentille. Après utilisation, la lame est éjectée par une simple pression sur un bouton (clip) appartenant à la poignée. Une nouvelle lame peut être emboîtée facilement sur la poignée.  The lighting system is housed inside the handle of the laryngoscope to protect it from saliva splashes. A light guide, belonging to the blade, ensures the transfer of the light emitted towards the end of said blade. The end of the light guide is itself closed by a lens. After use, the blade is ejected by a simple press on a button (clip) belonging to the handle. A new blade can be easily fitted onto the handle.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :
La figure 1 représente en coupe, le dispositif de l'invention : une lame et une poignée. La lame est emboîtée dans la poignée. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows in section, the device of the invention: a blade and a handle. The blade is fitted into the handle.

La figure 2 représente en coupe, une autre vue de ce dispositif.  Figure 2 shows in section, another view of this device.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une lame (1) reliée à une poignée (2). Le dispositif d'éclairage (3) est logé à l'intérieur de la poignée (2). La poignée (2) comporte un clip (4) et un ressort (5) pour permettre l'éjection de la lame (1) après utilisation
Un interrupteur (8) situé en bas de la poignée (2) assure la mise sous tension du dispositif d'éclairage (3). Une batterie (6), placée dans la poignée (2), assure l'alimentation du dispositif d'éclairage (3). Une trappe (10) permet de changer aisément la batterie. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a blade (1) connected to a handle (2). The lighting device (3) is housed inside the handle (2). The handle (2) has a clip (4) and a spring (5) to allow the blade to be ejected (1) after use
A switch (8) located at the bottom of the handle (2) powers up the lighting device (3). A battery (6), placed in the handle (2), supplies the lighting device (3). A hatch (10) allows the battery to be easily changed.

La lumière est diffusée à l'extrémité de la lame (1) en passant dans un guide lumière (9) réalisé au-dessus de ladite lame (1). Une lentille (7) ferme l'extrémité du guide lumière (9) pour protéger le système d'éclairage de la salive.  Light is scattered at the end of the blade (1) passing through a light guide (9) produced above said blade (1). A lens (7) closes the end of the light guide (9) to protect the lighting system from saliva.

La lame (1), la poignée (2), la lentille (7) et la trappe (10) sont en matière plastiques injectée. The blade (1), the handle (2), the lens (7) and the hatch (10) are made of injected plastic.
