Description

Universal device for breeding

respiratory arrest, walled administration of drugs through the mouth n

The utility model relates to medical equipment and can be used as a means to prevent and treat short-term respiratory arrest (apnea), including to prevent snoring, and also as a means for simultaneous (with treatment of apnea) or independent use as a means for dosed and gradual administration of drugs through the mouth, both during sleep and during wakefulness of patients.

Very often, during sleep, a person makes nonarticular sounds (including snoring) due to the occurrence of resonant vibrations during the interaction of tissues of the oral cavity and air flow during its passage in the space between the palatine curtain and the tongue, as well as between the root of the tongue and the back the wall of the larynx. In the first case, these sounds are most often caused by hypotension of the palatine curtain, and in the second, by the retraction of the tongue.

Non-articular sounds and snoring are uncomfortable for others and lead to the development of various diseases, because the patient’s breathing is constantly difficult, often pausing for a while from a few seconds to two minutes; the total time of such respiratory arrests can reach up to 80 minutes during sleep. The consequence of repeated breathing stops is a violation of gas exchange (a decrease in oxygen saturation) and redox processes in the tissues and organs of the body. In addition, snoring has a heart rhythm and blood circulation. As a result, snoring people do not hang up and experience various ailments throughout the day.

for treating snoring is especially dangerous for the elderly and people above middle age, because

organic age-related changes in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems enhance the described phenomena. With age, snoring leads to an increase in the phenomenon of apnea (short-term respiratory arrest), disruption of the heart, contributing to the development of pre-infarction conditions and heart attack, and even to sudden death due to respiratory arrest. Studies have shown that snoring is in one way or another inherent in about 70% of the population over 50 years old, while even those who do not snore in their youth can begin to snore due to age-related changes in the body.

The prior art device for preventing snoring, containing a wire frame with two spirals at opposite ends, see SU, No. 1697792, M. cl. A 61 F 5/56, 1991

This device is inconvenient to use and may lead to accidental ingestion of one of the coils.

A device for preventing snoring is also known, comprising a nibble-vestibular mouthpiece with an emphasis for pressing the tongue, see US, No. 3971370, cl. A 61 F 5/56, 1976.

This device is inconvenient due to unpleasant sensations during use and, in addition, individual selection of mouthguards in size and shape is necessary depending on the anatomical features of specific patients.

A device for snoring, containing an internal working body connected through a connecting element with an external limiting element, see US, No. 4669459, CL. A 61 F 5/56, 1987.

The disadvantage of this device is the need for an individual selection of elements for various patients, which creates inconvenience in mass use.

as a prototype of this utility model, the authors selected the device according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2095039, from 04/28/97, M. class. A 61 F 5/56.

A device for the prevention and treatment of snoring according to the prototype, comprises a cup-shaped latch for the tip of the patient’s tongue and external and internal concave, limiting petals connected with the help of a connecting strap with a ledge, and mounted with adjustable movement along the ribbed surface of the connecting strap. On the cup-shaped latch of the tip of the tongue there is a recess for placement under the tongue of drugs to enter them into the body during use of the device.

A disadvantage of the prototst is the relatively high rigidity of the ledge of the connecting strip, which does not spring spring-like clamp. This leads either to excessive pressure of the cup-shaped retainer on the tip of the tongue, causing uncomfortable sensations, or to an insufficient density of its fixation. In addition, the more often-shaped fixative and the internal restrictive lobe, tightly covering the mucous membranes, disrupt their natural heat and mass transfer, which leads to uncomfortable sensations. With pathologies of the nasopharynx or its disease, for example, with a runny nose, the use of a known device is difficult, because the external lobe closes the free access of air, thereby limiting the freedom of breathing. In addition, the prototype does not provide for the fastening of containers with drugs in the recess on the inner lobe, which can lead to their random hanging and getting into the respiratory tract.

The task to which the utility model is directed is to expand the functionality of the device and increase comfort in its application.

This result is achieved by the fact that a universal device for the prevention and treatment of respiratory arrest, the gradual administration of drugs through the mouth and treatment of snoring, containing a cup-shaped latch connected by means of a connecting strap with a ledge, as well as external and internal, restrictive petals, which are installed with the possibility of adjustable movement along the connecting strip, according to the proposed utility model, the ledge on the connecting strip is spring-loaded, while the surfaces of the fix-shaped Ora, the outer and inner petals restrictive perform perforated.

In embodiments of the proposed device, it is preferable that the connecting strip with a ledge and the bolt-shaped retainer be made detachable, while the connecting strip and the bolt-shaped retainer should be provided with means for their mutual fixation, and the connecting strip, the outer and inner restrictive tabs and the bolt-shaped retainer interchangeable. In addition, the spring ledge on the connecting plate can be made Z - shaped, and its height should be at least 0.4 width of the connecting plate. A longitudinal slotted perforation made on a Z-shaped spring ledge will increase its softness, while the Z-shaped spring ledge should be located at a distance from the outer surface of the fastener, comprising 0.3 - 0.5 of the width of the connecting strip, whose thickness is 6 7.5 of its width. Preferably, the surface area of the outer bounding lobe is 1.5-2.2. the area of the inner bounding lobe, while the outer and inner bounding lobes may optionally be provided with holes of different diameters, most of which are located on the outer bounding lobe; the area of the perforated surfaces of the common fixator, as well as the external and internal bounding petals can be 0.3-0.6 of the corresponding common areas of each of the surfaces of the common clamp, as well as the external and internal bounding petals; the interchangeable inner restrictive lobe may be made of at least two layers with hygroscopic capillary material placed between the inner surfaces of these layers for the gradual administration of drugs through the patient's mouth; in the area where the gums adjoin the teeth on the end surface of the internal limiting lobe, a reverse chamfer is made to provide a congruent gap between the surface of the internal limiting lobe on its periphery and the surface of the gums; interchangeable internal limiting lobe can be made in the form of a cap fixed on the connecting bar, covering the external surfaces of the gingival arches of the upper and lower jaws; the bolt-shaped retainer may additionally be equipped with a shaped perforated removable element mounted with overlapping recesses on a bowl-shaped retainer designed to be placed therein or a container of medicine in liquid form or medicine in the form of a tablet, while the perforated removable element is equipped with locking latches installed with the possibility of fixing in a bowl-shaped retainer; a removable cup-shaped latch can be made in the form of a curved petal, the upper part of which is limited by a locking element with a connecting strap, and the lower part is made with a developed surface for placement in it in the recesses of containers with a solution of a medicine, or a medicine in the form of a tablet; the surfaces of the outer and inner bounding lobes can be filled with congruent surfaces of the lips and gums, respectively; the outer limiting lobe may be further provided with acupuncture needles located on its concave surface.

A universal device for preventing respiratory arrest, gradual administration of drugs through the mouth and treating snoring, contains connected via a connecting strap 1 with a spring Z - shaped ledge 2 bowl-shaped retainer 3 of the tip of the tongue and outer 4 and inner 5 restrictive petals. The height of the Z-shaped spring ledge 2 should be at least 0.4 of the width of the connecting strip 1, while the said ledge 2 can be made with longitudinal slotted perforation 6, and the distance from the outer surface of the cup-shaped retainer 3 to the spring ledge 2 on the connecting strip 1 should be 0.3-0.5 of the width of the strip 1, The surface 5 of the connecting strip 1 must be ribbed to provide adjustable movement and fixation on it of the restrictive outer 4 and inner lobe 5, equipped with the corresponding they form the surface S with slots 7 and 8, while to increase the reliability of fixation, the crowd of the connecting strip 1 should be 6 7.5 of its width.

In an embodiment, see FIG. 9-12, the entire device is collapsible, i.e. the connecting strip 1 and the cup-shaped clamp 3 of the tip of the ide are made, as well as the restrictive petals 4 and 5 interchangeable. Reliable fixation of the cup-shaped retainer 3 on the connecting strip 1 is ensured by the implementation in the end part of the locking joint in the form of an expanded tide 9 with a recess 10 along the perimeter of the tide under the wall width of the through slot 11 in the cup-shaped retainer 3.

The surfaces of the bowl-shaped retainer 3, the outer 4 and the inner 5 of the restriction lobes can be perforated as shown in FIG. 10-11. Preferably, the surface area of the outer limit lobe 4 is 1.5-2.2 the area of the inner limit lobe 5, while these limit lobes can be further provided with holes 12 and 1. The diameter of the holes 12 in the outer limit lobe 4 is about two times larger the diameter of the holes 13 on the inner limit lobe 5.

It is preferable that the area of perforations of the surfaces of the bowl-shaped retainer, as well as the outer and inner bounding lobes 4 and 5, is 0.3 - 0.6 of the corresponding common areas of each of the surfaces of the shaped-like retainer 3, as well as the outer 4 and inner 5 bounding lobes.

The interchangeable inner cover petal 5 can be multilayer, or at least consisting of two layers 14 and 15 placed between the inner surfaces of these layers of absorbent capillary material 16.

The more frequent latch 3 can be additionally equipped with a shaped perforated removable element 17 made with the possibility of its fastening on the inner surface of the fastener 3. The element 17 can be fixed, for example, by means of two latches-latches 18. In a assembled form, a container is placed in the recess 19 20 with a solution of medicine, or medicine in the form of tablets.

Preferably, the surfaces of the outer 4 and inner 5 bounding lobes are made congruent to the lips and gums, respectively. The outer limiting petal 4 can be additionally equipped with acupuncture needle protrusions 21 located on its concave surface, and these protrusions can be made based on the individual location of the active points on the lips of a particular patient (for individual orders of specific consumers). In addition, the needle protrusions 21 can be made soft to ensure a guaranteed gap between the petal 4 and the lips of the patient.

In the area where the gums adjoin the teeth, a chamfer 22 (at an angle w) can be made on the end surface of the inner restrictive lobe 5 to provide a congruent gap between the surface of the internal restrictive lobe 5 at its periphery and the gum surface.

In one embodiment of the utility model, the interchangeable inner restrictive lobe 5 is shaped like a hood, see FIG. 3, with the possibility of covering the exteriors of the gingival arches of the upper and lower jaws. If the interchangeable internal restrictive lobe 5 is multilayer, for example, bilayer, then when filling the absorbent capillary material 16 with a medicine, the oral cavity is additionally sanitized during the application of the device, for example, paradantosis, caries, etc. are treated.

The device can be equipped with a set of replaceable elements 1,3 4 and 5, differing in size and specific options for implementation, depending on the specific conditions of use and the desire of consumers, for example, a removable fastener 3 (see Fig. 11) can be made in the form of a bent a petal, the upper part of which is shortened in the area of the castle connection 9,10,11 with the connecting strip 1, and the lower one is filled with a developed surface for convenient placement under the tongue and installation in the recesses of 19 containers with the drug solution , or drugs in the form of tablets.

The device is made of a polymer material that prevents percussion, for example, type VITUR TM.

The device operates as follows.

language, see FIG. 1. Removable outer 4 and inner 5 restrictive petals are placed, respectively, on the outer and inner sides of the patient's lips. In this case, the inner 5 limiting lobe is located between the inner surface of the lips and the outer surface of the front teeth of the patient. Individual selection of the distances between the outer 4 and inner 5 restrictive lobes, depending on the anatomical features of the patients, is carried out by moving them through the slots 7 and 8 along the connecting strip 1 and fixing in the selected position on its ribbed surface S.

When clamping the connecting strap 1 between the front lower and upper teeth, due to the Z-shaped ledge 2, the tongue goes down and frees up the space between the palate and the tongue. The final individual adjustment of the device is carried out by moving the outer lobe 4 along the ribbed surface 5 of the connecting strip 1 until this lobe touches the surface of the lips. This ends the adjustment of the device and it is ready to work.

If necessary, an external restrictive lobe 4 with acupuncture protrusions 21 is installed on the bar 1, which leads to the achievement of an additional cosmetic effect, which consists in stimulating (during the application of the device) the blood supply to the lips of the patient.

The device additionally provides a metered and gradual introduction into the patient’s body of drugs due to the fact that the internal limiting lobe 5 is multilayer, for example, two-layer. The simplest and safest method of administering the drug may be to place hygroscopic capillary material, for example, a cloth soaked in a solution of the drug, between the layers of the inner restrictive lobe 5. The layers of the restrictive lobe 5 are fixed to each other by a lock connection, for example, by means of the clamps 23 and the holes corresponding to them (on

hell, conditionally not shown). This ensures that the capillary material does not fall out and accidentally gets into the dyspipals. The implementation of the restrictive lobe 5 multi-layer allows, if necessary, to introduce the patient several drugs at the same time.

The holes 12,13 on the removable outer 4 and inner 5 restrictive petals, as well as their through perforation, allow breathing through the mouth, i.e. the use of this device is also possible with difficulty breathing through the nose.

The fulfillment of congruent surfaces of removable external 4 and internal 5 restrictive lobes to the surfaces of the lips and gums of the patients, respectively, ensures their quick adaptation to the device.

The presence of a spring-loaded perforated Z-shaped ledge 2 on the connecting strip 1 allows to improve the adaptation of devices to a particular patient, since the cup-shaped latch 3 provides a soft grip and fixation of the tip of the patient’s tongue with constant compression.

The above ratios of the sizes of parts of the device are obtained on the basis of statistical processing of the results of the practice of using the device and provide its minimum sizes for various racial groups of the population.

Prevention and treatment of respiratory arrest, including and snoring, is achieved by the fact that during sleep the patient’s tongue is securely fixed by the device.

The presence between the patient’s teeth of a gasket in the form of a connecting strip 1 prevents the grinding of teeth during sleep. The patient’s posture during sleep does not matter.

Installation on the device of a limiting cap-shaped petal 5 in allows you to sanitize the oral cavity and, in addition, reduce the formation of wrinkles due to the formation of skin folds on the face in elderly people using removable dentures. Wrinkles form due to a decrease in the distance between the gums when

removal of prostheses, this is prevented by a cap-shaped lobe 5 restricting the movement of the gums when dentures are removed.

Additionally, the device can be used as a means for the gradual and dosed administration of drugs through the mouth (by analogy with the administration of drugs via droppers 1) both during sleep and during wakefulness of patients. This is achieved by installing on the connecting strip 1 of the restrictive multilayer petal 5 with absorbent capillary material 16, impregnated with the drug solution. In addition, it is possible to install a bolt-shaped retainer 3 provided with drugs. It is more convenient to use a cup-shaped retainer 3 with a developed lower surface during wakefulness, see FIG. 11, allowing the patient to talk.

  Thus, the proposed utility model has a wide range of applications. Functionally, this utility model can be used to prevent and treat short-term respiratory arrests, including and for the treatment and prevention of snoring and gnashing of teeth during sleep. The systematic use of the device for these purposes leads to the development of stable conditioned reflexes in patients that reduce the occurrence of short-term interruptions in breathing, as well as prevent snoring and grinding of teeth. This achieves the therapeutic effect of the use of this utility model.

In addition, the proposed device can be used for sanitation of the oral cavity and to achieve cosmetic effects (reduction of facial wrinkles and lethargy), while these effects are achieved both during use of the device during sleep and during wakefulness.
