Description

Facial Mask For Endoscope [0002]

The present invention relates to a medical instrument, and more particularly, to an endoscopic facial mask which is worn on the face of a patient to prevent hypoxia when using an endoscope or a sleep depressant, and can also be used in connection with an existing Ambu bag Lt; / RTI >

Oxygen masks are widely used for medical, first aid or work. The oxygen mask is worn on the face portion as a means for artificially supplying oxygen or air to the wearer. Various types of oxygen masks are provided depending on the application, but the present invention relates to a medical oxygen mask in particular.

The oxygen mask includes a cup-shaped mask body, an oxygen inflow portion provided in the mask body, and a fixing cord member for fixing and fixing the mask body to the head.

Conventionally, the oxygen mask is made to adhere closely to the periphery of the respirator composed of the nose and mouth, depending on the shape of the mask body only.

In this case, since the wearer's face shape is different from each other, it is almost impossible to precisely fit the wearer's face with the mask body alone. In this case, it is inevitable that a partial gap is formed between the face and the mask main body, so that some of the oxygen supplied from the oxygen tank can not be supplied to the surgeon, and leaked to the outside through the gap. This results in the problem of insufficient supply of oxygen to the recipient and the over-consumption of oxygen.

Conventionally, Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2003-0023908 and No. 20-2006-0017000 have been proposed, but all of them have a structure capable of covering only the respiratory surface of the face, so that the inventor still has a problem to be raised.

The object of the present invention is to provide an endoscopic facial mask capable of supplying a high concentration of oxygen to a person who is in good contact with the wearer's face and thus eliminating the waste of oxygen. Another object of the present invention is to provide a versatile endoscopic facial mask that can be used for other medical treatments other than oxygen supply.

The above-mentioned object is achieved by providing a mask-like mask main body which is in close contact with a user's face so as to cover a respirator of a user; A tube inlet provided in the mask body; An inlet port provided in the mask body to supply oxygen into the mask body; An exhaust port provided in the mask body so that carbon dioxide emitted from respiration of the wearer can be discharged to the outside; An endoscope connector in the form of a tube, which is detachably installed in the tubular inlet and is capable of interrupting the flow path by a cap or a valve and connecting the endoscope with the endoscope; And a fixing band that is worn on the head of the wearer while the mask body is wrapped around the mask body so that the mask body can be closely fixed to the wearer's face.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the tubular inlet may be installed at a central portion of the mask body so as to be positioned on the mouth front of the wearer.

According to another feature of the present invention, the endoscope connector is in the form of a short tube that is fitted to the tubular inlet, and a stopping jaw for limiting the depth of the tubular inlet can be provided along the circumferential direction at an intermediate point thereof.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the fixing band includes a cover portion made of a fabric that covers a portion excluding the intake port, the exhaust port, and the tube inlet, and an elastic band connected to the cover portion to surround the head portion of the wearer &Lt; / RTI >

According to the above configuration, it is possible to supply oxygen at a high concentration by preventing the oxygen from leaking by bringing the mask body into close contact with the wearer's face by the fixing band. If necessary, the endoscope cable is penetrated through the tubular body inlet, The endoscopic facial mask for endoscopes is provided.

In particular, there is a pathway through which the endoscope can go in and separate from the oxygen inlet, so that the operation can be performed while freely injecting oxygen during sleeping or calming.
