Description

The device relates to medicine, in particular to otorhinolaryngology, and in particular to devices for washing tonsils.

A device for washing tonsil lacunae is known, comprising an ergonomically designed cannula with a longitudinal through channel having a first end adapted for contact with the washed tonsil and a second end in communication with the source of washing liquid having means for forcing the washing liquid into the longitudinal through channel of the cannula, characterized in that it further comprises a second ergonomically made cannula with a longitudinal through channel, fastened to the first cannula by a fastener m, fixedly installed at the first ends of both cannulas, and containing a replaceable nozzle having an axial hole and configured to form a closed volume above the washed tonsil, in which exits from the longitudinal through channels of both cannulas are placed, while the second end of the second cannula is in communication with the means of compulsory evacuation of flushing fluid from a closed volume above the washed tonsil (Application for utility model 2000105402/20, 03/07/2000, Burmatov D.L.)

This device has the following disadvantages:

- there is no way to flush several gaps at once, which significantly increases the time of the procedure;

- there is no way to visually control the accuracy of washing the gaps;

Also known is a low-frequency otorhinolaryngological ultrasound device for surgical and conservative treatment of ENT diseases TONZILLOR-MM (NPP Metromed, Omsk), containing an applicator, funnel, an acoustic unit, a surgical suction device, and an ultrasonic generator. The principle of the device is based on a combination of ultrasound therapy and vacuum exposure to the tonsils.

The disadvantages of this device are:

- the inability to flush by direct irrigation of tonsil lacunae;

- it is difficult to flush the lacuna to the full depth;

- there is no way to visually control the washing process;

- Significant high cost of the device.

The closest in design is a device for washing the tonsils, containing a tube for supplying a medicinal solution connected to a source of a medicinal solution, and a vacuum tube connected to a source of vacuum, characterized in that the device is equipped with a cap with which tubes are connected at an angle of 20-35 ° the supply of the drug solution and vacuum, the output section of the tube for supplying the drug solution is made with a screw thread on the inner surface, and the vacuum tube is equipped with a spring-loaded valve wasp vacuum (Patent for utility model 91859, 02/02/2009, Lunev A.V., Karlov S.N., Rodionova S.V.)

The disadvantages of the prototype are:

- there is no way to visually control the washing process;

- there is no way to flush several gaps at once, which significantly increases the time of the procedure.

The proposed utility model is aimed at improving the quality of tonsil lavage during the conservative treatment of a number of ENT diseases.

The technical task is to create a device that allows:

- flush all tonsil lacunae;

- flush the entire depth of the tonsil;

- to carry out the removal of the wash solution together with the infected "plugs";

- create a vacuum effect on the tonsils, contributing to the purification of gaps;

- to provide the possibility of exposure to the drug used as a washing solution;

- reduce discomfort and pain during the procedure.

EFFECT: more effective washing of tonsils during a conservative treatment method and reduction of discomfort during the procedure.

The technical essence of the utility model is illustrated in Figure 1, where:

1 - nozzles;

2 - tubes for supplying a washing solution;

3 - device body;

4 - a tube for draining the washing solution and creating a vacuum;

5 - flange of the device;

6 - plastic nozzle;

7 - endoscope.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that on the flange at the same distance from each other and on the same radius there are 4 holes, one of which has an endoscope installed, and in the other 3, nozzles for supplying the washing solution are installed at different angles to the axis of the device, moreover the flange is connected to the housing of the device in which the channel passes to create a vacuum and drain the wash solution.

The device for washing tonsil lacunae allows simultaneous direct irrigation of the lacunae through nozzles 1 installed at different angles to the axis of the device 3 itself, to pump the washing solution through the liquid drain pipe 4 and makes it possible to exert a vacuum on the washed lacunae. Control over the accuracy of drug administration is achieved by connecting an endoscope 7 to the device.

The device is used as follows: after bringing the nozzle 6 of the device to the washed tonsil, through the tubes 2 to the nozzles 1 mounted on the flange 5, a washing solution is supplied, which irrigates the internal surfaces of the gaps with excessive pressure, while washing infected “plugs” from them. Due to the installation of nozzles 1 at the same distance from the center of the flange 5 and the same distance from each other, but at different angles to the axis of the device 3, the area of the washing zone increases, which is also facilitated by the periodic rotation of the device around the axis by 30-40 against and along clockwise. At the same time, the washing solution is sucked out together with the washed “plugs” through the liquid drain pipe 4, which, in turn, is connected to a device that creates negative pressure or to a pipe for free outflow of the washing liquid. Through this device, a vacuum can be created in the “nozzle-tonsil” system, which allows for forced suction of the “plugs” from the gaps, or without it, creating a rinse effect. The abutment of the edges of the nozzle 6 to the surface of the pharynx around the tonsil allows the entry of the washing solution into the patient’s throat to zero, which significantly reduces discomfort and simplifies the procedure for washing tonsils.

The proposed utility model was tested on 18 patients at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Alexander Mariinsky Regional Clinical Hospital in Astrakhan during 2009-2010. Below are the results of testing.

Example: patient Z., 28 years old. case history No. 1592 (B47596), was admitted on an emergency basis on July 14, 2010 with a diagnosis of exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis. Chronic pharyngitis. The patient was treated with a device for washing tonsils - 6 procedures. The patient's condition improved, the cervical lymph nodes decreased, the tonsils are friable, clean in the gaps. The back wall is clean, pale pink, wet.

The proposed device achieves an increase in the quality of tonsil lavage during the conservative treatment method and reduction of discomfort during the procedure.
