Description

The proposed utility model relates to the field of medicine, namely to dental assistive devices and can be used to create a uniformly lit field during dental procedures.

Of great importance during medical dental procedures is the level of illumination of the surgical field. Poor quality dental procedures, including due to poor lighting, result in injuries and subsequent complications for the patient. The development of new options for medical dental illuminators that can create an intense and concentrated light stream in the zone of interest is relevant.

A stationary dental unit usually includes a dental illuminator, which can be portable (mounted on an arm and placed near the patient’s chair) or stationary (attached to the console) (see http // www.8a.ru / print / 10851.php ) A halogen lamp is usually used as a light source.

However, the disadvantage of the known dental illuminator is the low illumination of the surgical field, the imperfection of the spectrum of the light flux, in which yellow-red radiation predominates, the dazzling brightness of the filament. All of the above disadvantages of the known dental illuminator do not allow to create a uniform light field and, moreover, to concentrate the light energy in the area of interest of the doctor (as a rule, it is small in area and / or inaccessible zone). In the known illuminator, a halogen lamp is used as a light source, which releases 90% of the energy in the form of heat.

Dental illuminators are known, namely headlamps.

The following devices can be attributed to the group of headlamps, including wireless ones (see http // www.8a.ru / print / 10851.php):

fiber optic illuminator HEINE F.O. LoupLight "- headlight and fiber optic illuminator HEINE F.O. LoupLight is a headlamp that is ideal for HEINE binocular loupes, compatible with all HEINE fiber optic light sources. Coaxial lighting and surveillance. Shadowless lighting. Very bright and white light (up to 125,000 lux at a working distance of 250 mm). Light spot size adjustment. Ideal lighting throughout the field of view.

The illuminator and optics are removed from the axis of view. A simple and easy way to switch viewing with and without magnification. Lightweight and flexible.

HEINE 3S LED HeadLight Headlight - The HEINE ultra-bright and compact HEINE 3S LED HeadLight headlight for powerful coaxial lighting. 30000 lux of bright white light. Color temperature 6000 K and excellent lighting 30,000 lux. The 3S LED HeadLight is more than twice as superior in brightness and other parameters to other standard LED headlights. Compact and lightweight. The compact design guarantees clear, unobstructed coaxial lighting.

For the prototype of the proposed dental illuminator, a well-known dental illuminator is selected that contains an LED light source fixed with the possibility of changing the angle of illumination in the mount and connected to a power source (see http // www.8a.ru / print / 10851.php).

LED HEINE LED LoupLight - a headlamp and HEINE LED LoupLight LED. HEINE LED LoupLight is a compact LED illuminator for surgeons and dentists. The illuminator gives white homogeneous light, coaxial lighting, shadowless lighting of small cavities. Weight is only 12 g. Comfortable for extended use. In combination with rechargeable or battery powered - does not restrict movement. Powered by a 2.5 V battery or a rechargeable 3.5 V HEINE handle. The headlight used as a source of illumination of the surgical field or object of study is a headlight that is mounted on the forehead of a doctor.

Known dental illuminator - light in weight, comfortable to use for a long time. However, despite the positive qualities of the known device has a drawback. In the course of performing medical manipulations, the doctor constantly turns to his table, to the control panel, etc. That is, his doctor’s head is constantly in motion. From this comes the defocusing of the illumination of the surgical field, and the doctor constantly has to look for the most convenient option for landing or setting the head to achieve maximum illumination in the manipulation zone.

The objective of the utility model is to increase ease of use and reduce time losses.

The problem is solved in that in a known dental illuminator containing an LED light source, placed with the possibility of change

the angle of illumination in the mount and connected to the power source, the light source is capable of being disconnected from the mount, the mount contains a contact for connecting the light source to the power source and is fixed to the end of a flexible bracket, configured to fix the desired position or bend and equipped with terminals .

To clarify the claimed technical solution presents graphic materials - figure 1 and figure 2.

Figure 1 shows the proposed dental illuminator containing an LED light source 1, located in the mount 2 and connected to a power source (figure 1 is not shown). The LED light source is capable of being disconnected from the mount. The attachment unit 2 contains a contact for connecting the light source to the power source and is rigidly fixed to the end of the flexible bracket 3, which is configured to fix any desired position or bend to achieve maximum illumination of the working field. The flexible bracket 3 is provided with terminals for attaching it to the patient’s chair (FIG. 1) or in the patient’s mouth (FIG. 2). In this case, the flexible bracket is attached to the gingival splint or to the retractor using one of the terminals.

As a power source, a portable power source (battery), a battery, or mains voltage can be used.

The proposed dental illuminator operates as follows.

Depending on the upcoming manipulations, the flexible bracket of the dental illuminator is fixed with a terminal to the patient’s chair or with a terminal located on the mount, to the retractor or gingival splint. The dental illuminator can also be mounted on the patient’s head. The flexible bracket is given the position that best allows you to create an intense and concentrated stream of light in the manipulation area. After completing the necessary operations, the illuminator is turned off and disconnected from the mount for disinfection.

The proposed utility model allows using the following positive effect.

The device allows you to create a maximum and uniformly illuminated surgical field during dental procedures, including surgical ones. The dental illuminator is convenient to use, since it is attached to the chair and does not interfere with anyone, neither the doctor nor the patient, is located in the immediate vicinity of the doctor’s coverage area.
