Description

The present invention relates to an oropharyngeal cover, and more particularly to an oropharyngeal cover that is placed in the patient's mouth during oral treatment to prevent it from being covered by water or other foreign substances.

When performing oral treatments such as tooth cleaning, tooth restoration, and prosthesis treatment for people who breathe habitually, the water accumulated in the oral cavity is sucked with a saliva suction tube, but mouth breathing is habitually performed. Patients who do this, after surgery for oral tumors, and patients with dementia are more likely to get sick by inadvertently inhaling the water that collects in the oral cavity, which can make them uncomfortable or interrupt treatment. It can also cause aspiration pneumonia.

In addition, during dental treatment, in rare cases, the patient may aspire a foreign substance such as a dental instrument or a removed tooth, resulting in an emergency situation and putting the patient at risk.

An object of the present invention is to provide an oropharyngeal cover for improving the above problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the oropharyngeal cover of the present invention includes a support and a waterproof ventilation unit, the support includes a mouth insertion frame portion, and a shielded opening surrounded by the mouth insertion frame portion is formed. Further, bendable engaging portions are provided on both sides of the mouth insertion frame portion, and the waterproof ventilation unit is provided on the mouth insertion frame portion of the support and covers and shields the shielded opening. ..

In use, a handler such as a doctor bends the engagement portions on both sides of the oral insertion frame portion, arranges the oropharyngeal cover in the patient's mouth, and hooks the bent engagement portion on the patient's mouth. Insertion into the mouth Insert the frame into the patient's mouth. As a result, when performing oral treatment, the waterproof ventilation unit can catch the water entering the mouth during the treatment and block the water from flowing into the patient's throat, so that the patient can breathe through the mouth. Since it is not soaked with water, safety and smoothness during treatment can be ensured, and discomfort of the patient can be reduced.

It is a three-dimensional appearance schematic diagram which shows the preferable embodiment of the oropharyngeal cover of this invention. It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram which shows the preferable embodiment of the oropharyngeal cover of this invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing another preferred embodiment of the oropharyngeal cover of the present invention. It is the schematic which shows the bent engaging part of the preferable embodiment of the oropharyngeal cover of this invention. It is the schematic which shows the use state of the preferable embodiment of the oropharyngeal cover of this invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the oropharyngeal cover of the present invention includes a support 10 and a waterproof ventilation unit 20, and the support 10 includes a mouth insertion frame portion 11 and is surrounded by the mouth insertion frame portion 11. A shielded opening 12 is formed, and foldable engaging portions 13 are provided on both sides of the mouth insertion frame portion 11, and the waterproof ventilation unit 20 is provided with the mouth insertion frame portion 11 of the support tool 10. The waterproof ventilation unit 20 is sewn or adhered to the mouth insertion frame portion 11 so as to cover and shield the shielded opening 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, the waterproof / ventilated unit 20 includes a first waterproof layer 21, and the first waterproof layer 21 is a member made of a polypropylene melt blown non-woven fabric, has waterproof and ventilating functions, and is also shown in FIG. As shown in the above, the waterproof ventilation unit 20 includes a second waterproof layer 22 that covers the outside of the first waterproof layer 21, and the first waterproof layer 21 includes the second waterproof layer 22 and the mouth insertion frame portion. Located between the second waterproof layer 22 and the second waterproof layer 22, the second waterproof layer 22 is a member made of a polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric and has functions such as waterproof / water repellent, tear prevention, and ventilation, and the thickness of the second waterproof layer 22. The surface is thicker than the first waterproof layer 21.

In the above, the mouth insertion frame portion 11 is a member made of a material having elasticity and restoring its shape, and is a material that deforms when it receives a force, returns to its original shape when an external force disappears, and further has flexibility. Comfort can be improved by selecting.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a handler such as a doctor first bends the engaging portion 13 of the support 10 of the oropharyngeal cover, and then engages the engaging portions 13 on both sides of the oral insertion frame portion 11 with curved hooks. The oropharyngeal cover is then placed in the mouth 31 of the patient 30, the oral insertion frame 11 of the oropharyngeal cover is placed in the mouth 31 of the patient 30, and the two engaging portions 13 are placed in the mouth 31 of the patient 30. By hooking on the end of the mouth portion 31, the oropharyngeal cover can be positioned, the patient 30 can be prevented from swallowing the waterproof ventilation unit 20, and the two engaging portions 13 are bent. Since the distance from the oral insertion frame portion 11 can be adjusted, the depth at which the oral insertion frame portion 11 is inserted into the mouth portion 31 of the patient 30 can be adjusted. According to this configuration, the oral insertion frame portion 11 can be adjusted. The portion 11 is placed in the mouth 31 of the patient 30 and the waterproof ventilation unit 20 is positioned between the throat and the lips 32 to shield the entrance of the pharynx. Since the material having elasticity, restoration of shape, and flexibility can be selected for the mouth insertion frame portion 11, the lip 32 can be inserted into the mouth more smoothly by deforming by applying force. In addition, when the external force is removed, the shape is restored and expanded, so that the gap is reduced, and the flexible material makes it possible to improve the comfort when it comes into contact with the mouth.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when performing oral treatment, the water used for mouth cleaning can be received by the waterproof ventilation unit 20 to block the water, so that the water is blocked by the waterproof ventilation unit 20. Since it does not flow into the throat of the patient 30 and the waterproof ventilation unit 20 has a ventilation function, the patient 30 can breathe through the mouth. Absent.

As described above, since the oropharyngeal cover can be arranged at the mouth 31 of the patient 30 to block water when performing oral treatment on the patient 30, the patient 30 can receive the oral treatment. I can't get sick even if I breathe. Therefore, the oropharyngeal cover can provide a function of blocking water and foreign substances, especially when used for a patient 30 who regularly breathes mouth, a patient 30 after surgery for an oral tumor, and a patient 30 with dementia. Further, the safety and smoothness in the treatment process can be ensured, and the discomfort that the patient 30 gets wet with water can be eliminated.
