Description

Mouth opener for rehabilitation

This creation is a mouth opening device for rehabilitation. The mouth opening device mainly includes a flat cone-shaped hollow body and a soft occlusal pad with a plurality of protrusions covering the hollow body, so as to be suitable for the occlusal surface of the tooth extending into the cavity During the training, open up and down, swing from side to side, and open mouth from front to back.

According to relevant medical research literature, oral cancer patients will have problems with closed teeth 6 months after oral surgery radiotherapy, the mouth opening becomes smaller, usually less than 35mm, and the ability to open and close the mouth gradually decreases over time The phenomenon. In severe cases, the mouth opening is even less than 1 cm, and the mouth opening and closing ability is reduced or even lost, resulting in improper oral cleaning and poor nutritional intake, which may lead to cancer recurrence. Therefore, the key factor in tracking the recurrence of oral cancer is in mouth opening rehabilitation degree.

Especially in Taiwan, many people consume betel nut for a long time, which causes fibrosis of the oral mucosa (common in the buccal mucosa, followed by the jaw area), and finally causes difficulty in mouth opening and swallowing. These patients all need to open mouth training for oral rehabilitation.

However, most of the conventional mouth openers focus on mechanical adjustment structure design. In addition to the inconvenience of the patient's own operation and use, the selection of materials is also a hard feature, which not only easily hurts the mouth, but also has great impact on the teeth. Damage, so open mouth training for many The patient is extremely uncomfortable.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, this creator deeply feels that most of the conventional mouth opening devices are suitable for easy use with the assistance of others, and have not taken into account the needs of patients, so they have actively engaged in clinical nursing work experience for many years, actively research and develop improvements, in all conditions After careful consideration, the composition of this structure was finally created, which will completely solve the lack of practice.

This creation is a mouth opening device for rehabilitation. The mouth opening device mainly includes a flat conical hollow body, and a soft occlusal pad with a plurality of protrusions wrapped around the hollow body. Therefore, after implementation, it will provide the following benefit:

Because the mouth-opening device of this creation is a flat cone-shaped hollow body covered with a plurality of soft soft occlusal pads, it is convenient for the patient to hold it by himself, and extend the mouth-opening device between the occlusal surfaces of the teeth in the cavity. The operation mode of pulling up and down, swinging left and right, and extending forward and backward, allows the patient to adjust according to his tolerance level and feel, and increase the degree of opening, which not only facilitates the extension of the mouth opener into the entrance cavity and expands the opening gap, but also The design of the soft occlusal pad will not damage the teeth. With the soft occlusal pad covered with the convex structure design, it is convenient to stop applying force at any time to maintain the predetermined extension state, and the hollow design of the hollow body is also convenient for patients to breathe and eliminate saliva. It has the benefits of humanized design and suitable for self-training.

In order to enable your reviewers to clearly understand the structural composition of this creation and the functional benefits it can achieve, for the rest, the examples are listed in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed descriptions are as follows:

This creation is a mouth opening device for rehabilitation. The mouth opening device 10 mainly includes a flat cone-shaped hollow body 1 (as shown in the first and second figures), and a plurality of protrusions 21 covering the outside of the hollow body 1 The soft occlusal pad 2 can be used to extend the mouth opening device 10 between the occlusal surfaces of the teeth in the cavity, and perform the operations of pulling up and down, swinging left and right, and extending back and forth to facilitate mouth opening training for oral rehabilitation.

It can be seen from the structural design of the above creation that, because the flat cone-shaped hollow body 1 has the feature of taper expansion, the more it extends into the entrance cavity, the more the gap between the openings can be expanded (this creation can have different size designs to facilitate different It can be used gradually for patients of different sizes), so it is convenient for the patient to hold the mouth opener 10 and extend it into the cavity between the occlusal surfaces of the teeth (as shown in the third figure), by pulling up and down, swinging left and right, and extending back and forth The operation mode allows the patient to adjust the degree of mouth opening according to their tolerance and feel (as shown in the fourth figure), which not only facilitates the extension of the mouth opener 10 into the entrance cavity and expands the mouth opening distance, but also soft bite The design of the pad 2 will not damage the teeth at all, so as to match the structure design of the soft bite pad 2 covered with the protrusion 21, it is convenient to stop the force of the mouth opener 10 at any time to maintain the predetermined extension state, and the hollow design of the hollow body 1 It is also convenient for patients to breathe and eliminate saliva. It has the benefits of humanized design and suitable for self-training. Therefore, it can effectively improve the patient's willingness to actively open mouth training and restore the ability to open and close the mouth as soon as possible.

Furthermore, due to the simple structure, light weight and easy portability of this case, in addition to In addition to the convenience of the patient at home, it can also be taken out for mouth opening training at any time when going out or traveling, which is very convenient.
