Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical simple inhaler used for sucking out secretions in the body, and more particularly to a medical simple inhaler suitable for general household use. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Elderly frail persons and patients with abnormalities in the oral cavity, respiratory tract, esophagus, etc. cannot breathe secretions such as oral cavity and respiratory tract, sputum, and foreign matter such as food residues, and thus have difficulty breathing. It may cause suffocation and cause death. Therefore, it is necessary for these patients to suck the foreign matter with the suction device. As a suction device, a small portable suction device (“CARRY CR140
"0", "CARRY CD1400" and "MV-20" (all are trade names) are offered. Such a small-sized portable suction device incorporates a diaphragm-type or rotary-type suction pump as a decompressor, and has a structure for sucking foreign matter by suction of the suction pump.

[0003]

However, the aspirator described above is expensive because it incorporates a diaphragm type or rotary type suction pump, and at present, the total weight is at least 3.9 kg or more and is considerably heavy. Also,
The operation of the aspirator is complicated and it is difficult for those who operate it for the first time to handle it.In addition, medical equipment such as aspirator has low reliability in terms of after-sales service such as breakdown and maintenance.
The lack of emergency response in the event of a breakdown made it difficult for ordinary households to purchase.

An object of the present invention is to provide a simple medical inhaler which is inexpensive and can be used easily.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 uses a household cleaner as a decompressor of a suction device. In addition, claim 2
In the invention described in, the catheter having a suction hole on the tip side, a suction hose having one end connected to the rear end side of the catheter and the other end connected to a suction substance storage container, and one end of the suction substance storage container And a vacuum cleaner connecting hose whose other end is connected to the suction port of the household vacuum cleaner, and sucks the suctioned material from the catheter into the suctioned material storage container by suction of the household cleaning machine. It was done like this.
Further, in the invention described in claim 3, a plurality of the suction holes are provided at relative positions in the diametrical direction of the catheter so that the suction force is applied in a plurality of directions so that the suction holes are not attracted to the contact surface. ..

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a simplified medical inhaler 10 according to the present invention.
Is shown. This suction device 10 is a catheter 1
1, a connecting glass tube 12, a suction hose 13, a suction object storage container 14, a stopper 15, and a cleaner connecting hose 16.

The catheter 11 is a tube made of a soft material such as rubber or a silicon tube, and its tip is rounded. As shown in FIG. 2, in order to prevent adsorption to the oral cavity, nose, upper respiratory tract, etc. on the tip side, the suction holes 11a ...
11c is provided. The number of suction holes is not limited to three, and may be two, four, five, or the like. The rear end side of the catheter 11 is connected to one end of a suction hose 13 by a transparent glass tube 12. By holding the glass tube 12 with a finger, the suction operation can be easily performed, and the property of the suctioned object and the suctioned state can be confirmed. In addition, prepare catheters with different diameters and lengths,
It is recommended to replace and use one that is suitable for the treatment site.

The suction substance storage container 14 stores the suction substance such as sputum sucked from the catheter 11, and is made of transparent glass or plastic. As shown in FIG. 3, the suction object storage container 14 is detachably provided with a rubber stopper 15 for sealing the inside thereof. Two glass tubes 17 and 18 are hermetically fitted in the stopper 15 so as to penetrate the stopper. These glass tubes 17 and 18 have different lengths projecting inside the suctioned substance storage container 14, and the glass tube 17 protruding long has one end exposed to the outside and the other end of the suction hose 13 being exposed. A vacuum cleaner connecting hose 16 is connected to one end of the glass tube 18 which is connected and which is shortly projected and which is exposed to the outside.

At the other end of the vacuum cleaner connecting hose 16, a connecting portion 22 is provided which is connected to the suction port 20a of the household cleaner 20. As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting portion 22 is made of an elastic material, for example, rubber, and has a contoured tapered shape so that it can be surely connected regardless of the diameter of the suction port 20a. 23 is fitted. The glass tube 23 projects from one end surface 22a of the connecting portion 22 so that the glass tube 23 can be connected to the vacuum cleaner connecting hose 16. Instead of the glass tubes 17, 18, 23, a plastic tube, a metal tube or the like may be used.

Next, the operation of the simple suction device 10 described above will be described. First, the suction port 2 of the household cleaner 20
The connecting portion 22 is connected to 0a. In this connecting work, since the connecting portion 22 has the contour taper shape made of rubber, the connecting portion 22 can be connected to the suction port 20a airtightly and reliably by its own elasticity. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the plug 15 is securely fitted into the suctioned substance storage container 14. After that, the household vacuum cleaner 20 is operated, the glass tube 12 is held by a finger, and the catheter 11 is inserted from the distal end side thereof into, for example, the oral cavity of a patient. As a result, the inside of the suctioned substance storage container 14 is decompressed by the suction of the household vacuum cleaner 20, and foreign substances such as secretions sucked from the suction holes 11a to 11c of the catheter 11 can be sucked into the suctioned substance storage container 14. it can.

Suction and suspension of suction, or adjustment of suction force can be performed by pinching or releasing the catheter 11 with a finger, and a plurality of suction holes 11a are formed at the tip of the catheter 11.
Since the catheters 11 to 11c are provided, the catheter 11 is not adsorbed in the oral cavity and can be smoothly moved on the suction site. Further, since the transparent glass tube 12 is connected between the catheter 11 and the suction hose 13, the property of the suctioned object and the suction condition can be confirmed through this.

By repeating the suction treatment, the suctioned substance is collected in the suctioned substance storage container 14. When a certain amount has been accumulated, the stopper 15 is removed from the aspirant storage container 14, the aspirant is processed to wash the inside, and the stopper 1 is again attached.
Attach 5.

[0013] The suctioned material storage container 1
You can see through 4. If the suctioned material has accumulated up to the position of the glass tube 17, the suctioned material storage container 14
It can be seen that the inside of the aspirated substance storage container 14 is filled with the secretory substance because bubbles are generated in the aspirated substance therein. Further, the glass tube 17 is provided inside the suction object storage container 14 with respect to the glass tube 18.
Since it is projected for a long time, the suctioned matter is not sucked toward the cleaner connecting hose 16 side.

Although the present invention is suitable for general household use, it goes without saying that it can be used in a hospital. In particular, when used as an emergency substitute when the dedicated suction device fails, its effect is great.

[0015]

As described above, the simple suction device of the present invention uses a vacuum cleaner in a hospital or home as a suction pump, so that the structure is simple and inexpensive, and the operation is simple. It can be used easily. Also,
In the case of the conventional suction device, if the pressure reducer fails, it takes a considerable amount of time to repair it. However, since the present invention uses the household vacuum cleaner, a substitute product can be easily obtained.
