JPH0871040A - Disposable rhinoscope - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate the operation trouble of a doctor by inserting a pair of projections into a nostril and allowing the tips of the projections to be opened by gripping a loop-like grip part so that a subject can be hygienically diagnosed and a rhinoscope and tongue press piece are united into an appliance. CONSTITUTION: A point of application A formed of a pair of opposed projections 1, 1 composed of one piece of flexible synthetic resin to expand a nostril by the tips and a fulcrum B formed of the projections provided parallel to each other such that a recess 2 of one projection is fitted on a lug 3 of the other projection pivotably on the way of the projections are provided. These point and fulcrum are composed of a grip part 4 formed like a loop in the rear part as a point C of force. Thus, when the grip part is gripped, the tips of the projections are opened to expand the nostril. The disposable rhinoscopes are used one by one for each of a group of subjects are diagnosed. Accordingly, the rhinoscope is actually hygienic, and it is manufactured economically.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposable rhinoscope.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, instruments for widening the nostrils (hereinafter referred to as nasal speculum) used in group examinations and the like are made of metal, and a large number of examiners use the same instrument continuously for examination. Each time, she was immersed in a disinfectant solution and examined, but was not hygienic.

[0003] Aside from the nasal speculum for widening the nostrils, a separate tongue depressor is additionally used when examining the oral cavity, and this device is also immersed in a cup containing a disinfecting solution and given to a plurality of persons. It is used repeatedly and is extremely unsanitary, and furthermore, when examining the nose and oral cavity, each uses a separate instrument for the rhinoscopy and tongue depressor, which makes the doctor complicated. However, consultation time was wasted by using a separate device.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and makes a disposable nasal speculum capable of sanitary examination of a person to be examined, and a nasal speculum and a tongue depressor. To eliminate the complexity of the doctor and to develop a simple disposable nasal speculum with an integrated nasal speculum and tongue depressor by replacing the one used as a separate instrument with one It is in.

[0005]

A preferred example of the present invention will be described. A flexible synthetic resin is used as a material and is made of a single material, and a pair of projections for expanding the nostrils are respectively formed at the tips. The action points formed facing each other and these are provided in parallel with each other, and in the middle, a concave portion is formed on one side, and a fulcrum formed by fitting a protrusion rotatably fitted to the concave portion is formed on the other side.
These are disposable nostril openers characterized in that the grip is formed with a loop-shaped rear part as a force point.
In addition, the nasal speculum is characterized in that a projection for holding down the tongue is provided on the grip portion.

[0006]

According to the method of use of the present invention, a pair of projections are inserted into a nostril, and a grasp is formed by grasping a loop-shaped grip. The tongue depressor is used to improve the efficiency of diagnosis, and because it is disposable, it is actually sanitary in appearance.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A pair of projections (1) (1) (1) ( Action point (A) formed opposite to 1)
And these are provided in parallel, and in the middle, the concave portion (2)
On the other hand, a fulcrum (B) formed by fitting a protrusion (3) which is rotatably fitted in the recess (2) is formed, and these fulcrums (B) are formed on the rear part in a loop shape. It is a disposable nasal speculum characterized in that 4) is configured as a force point (C).

Although not shown in the drawings, the concave portion (2) and the protrusion (3) each have a concave inner wall formed in an arcuate shape, and a protrusion which fits the arcuate inner wall of the concave portion is formed in the circular shape. It may be formed as a bulging protrusion that fits the arc-shaped inner wall so that it does not easily come off in the front-back direction.

In another embodiment, the tongue depressor (5) is provided on one side of the grip portion (4) of the nasal endoscope.

The anti-slip effect can be achieved by providing ridges (6) at appropriate intervals on the front, back or front and back of the material in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the material.

[0011]

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. According to the present invention, since the synthetic resin having flexibility is used, the protrusion (1) at the tip end can be obtained by grasping the grip portion.
(1) Open, nostrils can be opened, and it is a simple disposable made of synthetic resin. It is used one by one for each group medical checkup, and it looks and actually hygiene. And can be manufactured at low cost,
Since the tongue depressor (5) protrudes from one of the loop-shaped grips (4) of the nasal speculum of the present invention, the examination of the nostrils and the oral cavity can be performed with a single instrument, so that the examination is complicated and the examination time is reduced. An extremely useful effect such as expected can be obtained.
