The outer diameter is formed in a tapered portion 31c that gradually becomes smaller (tapered) toward the end. In addition, the outer peripheral surface 31a is formed in a shape substantially in line with the shape when the mouth (lips) is opened, such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, an oval shape, and the inner periphery (hollow portion 31b). A hole that can be used for treatment such as suction of saliva in the oral cavity is formed.
 上記バイトブロック30のフランジ部32は、上記筒状本体31の外周面31aにおける他端側(使用時の後端側であり、口唇側)の位置に、この本体の外周面31aに一体に、あるいは、後から取り付けて配設されており、その形状は、上記外周面31aから突出する鍔(つば)状または略円形,楕円形等の円盤状に形成されている。このフランジ部32には、図3のような、切り欠き(へこみ)形状のチューブ収容部32aが設けられており、先に気管に挿入されている上記気管内挿管チューブを、このチューブ収容部32aの凹形状に嵌め入れることにより、気管内挿管チューブを位置決めできるようになっている。 The flange portion 32 of the bite block 30 is integrated with the outer peripheral surface 31a of the main body at a position on the other end side (the rear end side in use, the lip side) of the outer peripheral surface 31a of the cylindrical main body 31. Or it is attached and arranged afterwards, and the shape is formed in a disc shape such as a collar protruding from the outer peripheral surface 31a, or a substantially circular or elliptical shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the flange portion 32 is provided with a notched (dented) tube housing portion 32a, and the endotracheal intubation tube previously inserted into the trachea is replaced with the tube housing portion 32a. The endotracheal intubation tube can be positioned by fitting into the concave shape.
 上記バイトブロック30を使用する際は、このバイトブロック30の口腔内への挿入に先立って、上記気管内挿管チューブが患者等の気管に挿入される。つぎに、上記バイトブロックの筒状本体31の先端(先細部31c)側を、患者等に銜えさせるようにして口腔内に挿入する。そして、図4に示すように、上記バイトブロックのフランジ部32の上端および下端を、患者等の上唇と上顎前歯との間、および、下唇と下顎前歯との間(両者とも「口腔前庭」という)にそれぞれ挟み込んだ状態で、このフランジ部32のチューブ収容部32aを、口腔左右方向の適切な側に回動させて配置し、上記チューブ収容部32aに気管内挿管チューブ40を嵌め入れる。そして、その状態で、テープやバンド等を用いて、バイトブロック30と気管内挿管チューブ40とを固定することにより、このチューブ40の保護(噛み潰し防止)と位置ずれの防止が実現されている。 When using the bite block 30, the endotracheal intubation tube is inserted into the trachea of a patient or the like prior to insertion of the bite block 30 into the oral cavity. Next, the distal end (taper 31c) side of the cylindrical main body 31 of the bite block is inserted into the oral cavity in such a way as to cause a patient or the like to feel it. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper and lower ends of the flange portion 32 of the bite block are placed between the upper lip of the patient and the upper jaw front teeth, and between the lower lip and lower jaw front teeth (both are “oral vestibule”). The tube accommodating portion 32a of the flange portion 32 is rotated and arranged on the appropriate side in the left-right direction of the oral cavity, and the endotracheal intubation tube 40 is fitted into the tube accommodating portion 32a. In this state, the bite block 30 and the endotracheal intubation tube 40 are fixed using a tape, a band, or the like, so that the tube 40 is protected (clogging prevention) and is prevented from being displaced. .
 なお、上記チューブ収容部32aは、上記フランジ部32を貫通する穴として形成される場合もある。他にも、上記チューブ収容部32aは、上記筒状本体31の外周面31aに、長手方向に沿った平坦部や凹状の溝として設けられる場合や、上記筒状本体の内周の中空部31bが兼用する場合もある。上記兼用する場合、気管チューブや気管内挿管チューブ等は、上記中空部31bに挿通される。 The tube housing portion 32a may be formed as a hole that penetrates the flange portion 32. In addition, the tube housing portion 32a is provided on the outer peripheral surface 31a of the cylindrical main body 31 as a flat portion or a concave groove along the longitudinal direction, or the inner peripheral hollow portion 31b of the cylindrical main body. May also be used. When combined, the tracheal tube, the endotracheal intubation tube and the like are inserted through the hollow portion 31b.

 ところで、バイトブロックは、使用する際に、上記気管内挿管チューブがバイトブロックに沿わず、その固定が難しい場合がある。この理由は以下のように考えられる。すなわち、バイトブロックを口腔内に挿入する際は、このバイトブロックのフランジ部を口唇と前歯との間(口腔前庭)に差し入れるために、通常、患者等の口(口唇)を大きく開けた状態(下顎が普段の位置より手前に引き出された状態)で行う。その後、上記バイトブロックおよび気管内挿管チューブの固定のために、患者等の口を、上下前歯がバイトブロックの筒状本体に当接するまで閉じさせるのであるが、この際、下顎が普段の位置まで後退するため、上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせ(咬み合わせ)にずれが生じる。 By the way, when the bite block is used, the endotracheal intubation tube does not follow the bite block and it may be difficult to fix the bite block. The reason is considered as follows. In other words, when inserting a bite block into the oral cavity, the mouth (lip) of the patient or the like is usually wide open so that the flange part of this bite block is inserted between the lips and the front teeth (oral vestibule). (The lower jaw is pulled out from the usual position). After that, in order to fix the bite block and the endotracheal intubation tube, the mouth of the patient or the like is closed until the upper and lower front teeth come into contact with the cylindrical body of the bite block. Due to the retreat, there is a shift in the engagement (biting) of the upper and lower jaw front teeth.
 この時、従来のバイトブロック30のフランジ部32は、筒状本体の軸方向同じ位置に、先に述べたような鍔状または円盤状に形成されているため、図4に示すように、上記噛み合わせのずれに伴ってこのフランジ部32が傾き、結果的に筒状本体を含むバイトブロック30全体が傾いて口腔内に留置されることになる。このように、バイトブロック30が傾いて留置されると、口腔内に先に挿入されている気管内挿管チューブ40と角度が一致せず、上記フランジ部32のチューブ収容部32aに、この気管内挿管チューブ40が嵌まり難くなってしまう。 At this time, since the flange portion 32 of the conventional bite block 30 is formed in the same shape in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body in a bowl shape or a disk shape as described above, as shown in FIG. The flange portion 32 is tilted with the meshing deviation, and as a result, the entire bite block 30 including the cylindrical main body is tilted and is left in the oral cavity. Thus, when the bite block 30 is tilted and placed, the angle does not coincide with the endotracheal intubation tube 40 previously inserted into the oral cavity, and the endotracheal tube 32 of the flange portion 32 is inserted into the endotracheal tube. The intubation tube 40 is difficult to fit.
 また、従来のバイトブロックは、上で述べたように、上記筒状本体31の先端部(咽頭側先細部31c)が上顎方向(または、まれに下顎方向)に向かって移動することから、この先端部が口腔内で接触した部位(図4中のX位置)を圧迫するため、この部位に潰瘍が発生してしまうおそれがある。さらに、この傾きにより、フランジ部32が上唇(まれに下唇)を圧迫し、口唇部内側(図4中のY,Y’位置)にも潰瘍が発生する場合も報告されており、その改善が望まれている。 Further, as described above, the conventional bite block has a distal end portion (pharyngeal side detail 31c) of the cylindrical main body 31 that moves toward the upper jaw direction (or, rarely, the lower jaw direction). Since the tip part presses the part (X position in FIG. 4) which contacted in the oral cavity, there exists a possibility that an ulcer may generate | occur | produce in this part. Further, it has been reported that the flange portion 32 presses the upper lip (rarely the lower lip) due to this inclination, and an ulcer is also generated on the inner side of the lip (positions Y and Y ′ in FIG. 4). Is desired.
 本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、気管内挿管チューブを沿わせて固定することが容易で、口腔内の粘膜等に潰瘍が発生するリスクを低減することのできるバイトブロックを提供することをその目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is easy to fix along an endotracheal intubation tube and can reduce the risk of ulcers occurring in the mucous membrane in the oral cavity. The purpose is to provide.
 上記の目的を達成するため、本発明は、口唇部位における気管内挿管チューブの閉塞防止および挿入位置のずれを防止するためのバイトブロックであって、軸方向に延びる筒状の本体と、この筒状本体の外面に配設された上顎用フランジ部と下顎用のフランジ部とを備え、これら上顎用フランジ部と下顎用のフランジ部とは、上記筒状本体の軸方向から見た場合に、この軸を挟んで対向する位置に設けられ、各フランジ部が、上顎歯列と下顎歯列の噛み合わせのずれに応じて上記筒状本体の軸方向に互いに距離を空けて配設されていることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a bite block for preventing occlusion of an endotracheal intubation tube at the lip region and preventing displacement of the insertion position, a cylindrical main body extending in the axial direction, and the cylinder The upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion disposed on the outer surface of the cylindrical body, and the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion, when viewed from the axial direction of the cylindrical body, The flange portions are provided at positions facing each other with the shaft interposed therebetween, and the flange portions are arranged at a distance from each other in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body according to a shift in meshing between the maxillary dentition and the mandibular dentition. It is characterized by that.
 また、本発明のバイトブロックは、上記筒状本体の軸方向一端側に、外径が端部に向けて徐々に小径となる挿入用先細部が設けられ、上記上顎用フランジ部および下顎用フランジ部の少なくとも一方が、その筒状本体側の根元部から外径側の先端部にかけて上記先細部側に傾斜する形状に形成されている構成(請求項2)を好適に採用する。 Further, the bite block of the present invention is provided with an insertion point whose outer diameter gradually decreases toward the end on one end side in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body, and the upper flange portion and the lower jaw flange. A configuration in which at least one of the portions is formed in a shape that inclines toward the tapered side from the root portion on the cylindrical main body side to the distal end portion on the outer diameter side is suitably employed.
 さらに、本発明のバイトブロックは、上記上顎用フランジ部および下顎用フランジ部の少なくとも一方が、上顎前歯列または下顎前歯列のならびに沿って湾曲する形状に形成されていても良い(請求項3)。 Furthermore, the bite block of the present invention may be formed such that at least one of the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion is curved along the upper jaw front teeth row or the lower jaw front teeth row. .
 一方、本発明のバイトブロックは、上記上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部とは、上記筒状本体の軸方向から見た場合、これら各フランジ部の該筒状本体周りの周方向位置が、互いに重ならないように形成され、上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部とに挟まれた周方向の領域が、気管内挿管チューブを上記筒状本体に沿って軸方向に挿通させるためのチューブ収容部に形成されている構成(請求項4)を好適に採用することができる。 On the other hand, in the bite block of the present invention, when the upper flange portion and the lower flange portion are viewed from the axial direction of the cylindrical body, the circumferential positions of the flange portions around the cylindrical body are: A tube housing portion that is formed so as not to overlap with each other, and a circumferential region sandwiched between the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion allows the endotracheal intubation tube to be inserted in the axial direction along the cylindrical main body. The structure formed in (4) can be suitably employed.
 本発明は、使用時に、口腔前庭に配置されるバイトブロックのフランジ部を、従来品における1枚の鍔型(円盤型)から、上顎用と下顎用の2つに分割し、これら分割型の各フランジ部の形成位置に、人が口を閉じた時に生じる「上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせの差」に対応した前後差を設けることにより、所期の目的を達成しようとするものである。 In the present invention, the flange part of the bite block arranged in the oral vestibule is divided into one for the upper jaw and one for the lower jaw from the single bowl type (disc type) in the conventional product at the time of use. It is intended to achieve the intended purpose by providing a front-rear difference corresponding to the "difference in meshing of the upper and lower jaw front teeth" that occurs when a person closes the mouth at the position where each flange portion is formed. .
 すなわち、本発明のバイトブロックは、筒状本体の外周外面に、上顎用および下顎用の2つのフランジ部が設けられ、これら各フランジ部が、上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせ(咬み合わせ)の差に応じて、上記筒状本体の軸方向に距離を空けて(軸方向の位置をずらせて)形成されている。そのため、このバイトブロックは、上記上顎用フランジ部を上唇と上顎前歯との間に差し入れ、下顎用フランジ部を下唇と下顎前歯との間に差し入れて、これら上顎前歯と下顎前歯とが筒状本体に当たるまで口が閉じられた場合(筒状本体が口腔内に留置された場合)でも、この筒状本体の先端部(奥側)が咽頭側に向かって真っ直ぐに挿入された状態を保つ。そのため、このバイトブロックは、口腔内に先に挿入されている気管内挿管チューブと、その挿入角度が一致し、簡単かつ容易に上記気管内挿管チューブをバイトブロックに沿わせて配置することができる。したがって、本発明のバイトブロックは、気管内挿管チューブを所定位置に固定することが容易になるとともに、歯等による噛み潰しを確実に防止することができる。 That is, the bite block of the present invention is provided with two flange portions for the upper jaw and the lower jaw on the outer peripheral outer surface of the cylindrical main body, and these flange portions are used for meshing (biting) of the upper jaw front teeth and the lower jaw front teeth. According to the difference, the cylindrical main body is formed with a distance in the axial direction (shifted in the axial direction). Therefore, in this bite block, the upper jaw flange is inserted between the upper lip and the upper anterior teeth, the lower jaw flange is inserted between the lower lip and the lower anterior teeth, and the upper anterior teeth and the lower anterior teeth are cylindrical. Even when the mouth is closed until it hits the main body (when the cylindrical main body is left in the oral cavity), the distal end (back side) of the cylindrical main body is kept straightly inserted toward the pharynx side. Therefore, this bite block has the same insertion angle as the endotracheal intubation tube that has been previously inserted into the oral cavity, and the endotracheal intubation tube can be easily and easily disposed along the bite block. . Therefore, the bite block of the present invention can easily fix the endotracheal intubation tube at a predetermined position and can reliably prevent crushing by teeth or the like.
 さらに、このバイトブロックは、上記のように、口が閉じられた場合でも、この筒状本体の先端部(奥側)が咽頭側に向かって真っ直ぐに挿入された状態を保つことから、その先端部が口腔内の粘膜等に接触したりこれを圧迫したりすることが抑制される。これにより、本発明のバイトブロックは、口腔内の粘膜等に潰瘍が発生するリスクを低減することができる。 Furthermore, since the bite block maintains the state where the tip (back side) of the cylindrical body is inserted straight toward the pharynx side even when the mouth is closed as described above, It is suppressed that a part contacts or presses the mucous membrane etc. in the oral cavity. Thereby, the bite block of this invention can reduce the risk that an ulcer will generate | occur | produce in the mucous membrane etc. in an oral cavity.
 また、本発明のバイトブロックのなかでも、上記筒状本体の軸方向一端側に、外径が端部に向けて徐々に小径となる挿入用先細部が設けられ、上記上顎用フランジ部および下顎用フランジ部の少なくとも一方が、その筒状本体側の根元部から外径側の先端部にかけて上記先細部側に傾斜する形状に形成されているバイトブロックは、上記上顎用フランジ部または下顎用フランジ部が、上顎前歯または下顎前歯の形状により一致したものとなり、気管内挿管チューブを所定位置に固定することがさらに容易になる。しかも、上記上顎用フランジ部または下顎用フランジ部が、口腔前庭や口唇部内側等を圧迫することが緩和され、この部位に潰瘍が発生することが、より確実に防止される。 Further, in the bite block of the present invention, an insertion detail with an outer diameter gradually decreasing toward the end is provided on one end side in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body, and the flange portion for the upper jaw and the lower jaw The bite block in which at least one of the flange portions for use is formed in a shape that inclines toward the tapered side from the root portion on the cylindrical main body side to the distal end portion on the outer diameter side, The portions become more consistent with the shape of the maxillary anterior teeth or the mandibular anterior teeth, and it becomes easier to fix the endotracheal intubation tube in place. In addition, the upper jaw flange portion or the lower jaw flange portion is alleviated from being pressed against the oral vestibule, the inside of the lip, and the like, and the occurrence of ulcers at this portion can be more reliably prevented.
 さらに、本発明のバイトブロックのなかでも、上記上顎用フランジ部および下顎用フランジ部の少なくとも一方が、上顎前歯列または下顎前歯列のならびに沿って湾曲する形状(すなわち、上記挿入用先細部側に傾斜し、かつ、口腔前庭の形状に沿って口の左右方向に回りこむ形状)に形成されているバイトブロックは、上顎用フランジ部および/または下顎用フランジ部が、前歯および口腔前庭の形状により完全に一致する。したがって、本発明のバイトブロックは、気管内挿管チューブの固定が、より容易になるとともに、口腔内の粘膜等に潰瘍が発生するのをほぼ完全に抑制することができる。 Further, in the bite block of the present invention, at least one of the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion is curved along the maxillary anterior dentition or the anterior dentition of the lower jaw (that is, on the insertion detail side). The bite block that is inclined and has a shape that wraps around the mouth in the left-right direction along the shape of the oral vestibule) has an upper jaw flange portion and / or a lower jaw flange portion depending on the shape of the anterior teeth and the oral vestibule. Match exactly. Therefore, the bite block of the present invention makes it easier to fix the endotracheal intubation tube and can almost completely suppress the occurrence of ulcers in the oral mucosa.
 また、本発明のバイトブロックにおいて、上記上顎用フランジと下顎用フランジ部とが、上記筒状本体の軸方向から見た場合、これら各フランジ部の該筒状本体周りの周方向位置が、互いに重ならないように形成され、上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部とに挟まれた周方向の領域が、気管内挿管チューブを上記筒状本体に沿って軸方向に挿通させるためのチューブ収容部に形成されているバイトブロックは、このバイトブロックが保護すべき気管内挿管チューブを、該バイトブロックの左右位置のどちらにでも挿通させ、このバイトブロックに沿って簡単に固定することができる。 In the bite block of the present invention, when the upper jaw flange and the lower jaw flange portion are viewed from the axial direction of the cylindrical body, the circumferential positions of the flange portions around the cylindrical body are mutually A circumferential region sandwiched between the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion is formed so as not to overlap with the tube storage portion for allowing the endotracheal intubation tube to be inserted in the axial direction along the cylindrical body. The formed bite block can be easily fixed along the bite block by inserting the endotracheal intubation tube to be protected by the bite block into either the left or right position of the bite block.
 なお、上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせ方向と、上記気管内挿管チューブの収容位置を考慮すると、上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部とは、上記筒状本体の軸方向の中心軸を挟んで対向する位置に配置し、これらに挟まれた筒状本体左右の領域を、上記チューブ収容部とすることが、構成上、最も合理的な配置である。 In consideration of the meshing direction of the maxillary anterior teeth and the mandibular anterior teeth and the accommodation position of the endotracheal intubation tube, the maxillary flange portion and the mandibular flange portion sandwich the central axis in the axial direction of the cylindrical body. It is the most rational arrangement in terms of configuration that the regions on the left and right sides of the cylindrical main body, which are arranged at opposing positions, are used as the tube housing portion.
 また、上記上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部の少なくとも一方を、上記筒状本体の軸方向に移動可能に形成しても良い。このようにフランジ部を軸方向へスライド移動させることにより、上記上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせの「個人差」、すなわち口唇形状や口腔内形状の個体差に、よりきめ細かく対応することが可能になり、もって、口腔内における潰瘍発生のリスクを、より低減することができる。 Further, at least one of the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion may be formed to be movable in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body. By sliding the flange portion in the axial direction in this way, it is possible to deal more closely with the “individual difference” of the engagement of the upper and lower jaw front teeth, that is, individual differences in the lip shape and intraoral shape. Thus, the risk of developing ulcers in the oral cavity can be further reduced.
 そして、上記バイトブロックには、上記上顎用フランジ部と下顎用フランジ部とを識別するためのマークを形成しても良い。このマークにより、バイトブロックの挿入時の方向(上下方向)を間違えることが防止される。したがって、このバイトブロックは、誰でも、それを適正な位置に留置でき、医療ミス等を防止することが可能になる。 Further, a mark for identifying the upper jaw flange portion and the lower jaw flange portion may be formed on the bite block. This mark prevents a wrong direction (vertical direction) when inserting the byte block. Therefore, anyone can place this byte block in an appropriate position, and medical errors can be prevented.

FIG. The z direction in the figure represents the vertical direction when the byte block 1 is used. The axial direction (dashed line) of the cylindrical main body 11 coincides with the longitudinal direction (x direction) of the bite block 1 and indicates the direction of insertion into the lips.
 この第1実施形態におけるバイトブロック1も、基本的な構造は従来のバイトブロック(30)と同様であり、略筒状の本体11と、この本体11の外面11aに配設されたフランジ(12a,12b)とからなる。上記バイトブロック1の特徴は、図1(c)のように、フランジが上下2つのフランジ部(上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12b)に分けて形成され、これら上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとが、図1(b)のように、上記筒状本体11の軸方向(図示x方向)に距離L(本例においては5mm)を空け、位置をずらして配設されている点である。 The basic structure of the bite block 1 in the first embodiment is the same as that of the conventional bite block (30), and a substantially cylindrical main body 11 and a flange (12a) disposed on the outer surface 11a of the main body 11 are used. 12b). As shown in FIG. 1 (c), the bite block 1 is characterized in that the flange is divided into two upper and lower flange portions (upper jaw flange portion 12a and lower jaw flange portion 12b). As shown in FIG. 1B, the lower jaw flange portion 12b is disposed with a distance L (5 mm in this example) in the axial direction (x direction in the drawing) of the cylindrical main body 11 and shifted in position.

A tip detail 11c is provided, and the upper flange portion 12a on the upper side of the figure extends from the root portion (12a 1 ) on the cylindrical main body 11 side to the distal end portion (12a 2 ) on the outer diameter side along the inclination of the maxillary anterior dentition. and (in this example 10 degrees) predetermined angle theta 1 is formed so as to be inclined, the flange portion 12b for the lower jaw shown lower side, the outer diameter side from the root portion of the cylindrical main body 11 side (12b 1) It is a point formed so as to incline at a predetermined angle θ 2 (5 degrees in this example) along the inclination of the lower jaw front tooth row over the distal end portion (12b 2 ).
 なお、上記上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとの間の軸方向距離Lの好適な範囲は、大人用,子供用等により異なるが、一般的に1~20mm、好ましくは2~10mm、さらに好ましくは3~6mm程度である。 The preferred range of the axial distance L between the upper jaw flange portion 12a and the lower jaw flange portion 12b varies depending on adults, children, etc., but is generally 1 to 20 mm, preferably 2 to 10 mm. More preferably, it is about 3 to 6 mm.
 また、上記上顎用フランジ部12aが、筒状本体11側の根元部(12a)から外径側の先端部(12a)にかけて、筒状本体11の先細部11c側に傾斜する角度θは1~30度が好ましく、さらに好ましくは5~15度、理想的には10度前後である。同様に、上記下顎用フランジ部12bが、筒状本体11側の根元部(12b)から外径側の先端部(12b)にかけて、筒状本体11の先細部11c側に傾斜する角度θは1~30度が好ましく、さらに好ましくは1~10度、理想的には5度前後である。 Further, the angle θ 1 at which the upper flange portion 12a is inclined toward the tapered portion 11c side of the cylindrical main body 11 from the base portion (12a 1 ) on the cylindrical main body 11 side to the distal end portion (12a 2 ) on the outer diameter side. Is preferably 1 to 30 degrees, more preferably 5 to 15 degrees, and ideally around 10 degrees. Similarly, the angle θ at which the lower jaw flange portion 12b is inclined toward the tapered portion 11c side of the cylindrical body 11 from the base portion (12b 1 ) on the cylindrical body 11 side to the distal end portion (12b 2 ) on the outer diameter side. 2 is preferably from 1 to 30 degrees, more preferably from 1 to 10 degrees, and ideally around 5 degrees.
 上記バイトブロック1の構成を、より詳しく説明すると、上記筒状の本体11は、全体として中空の筒状で、その長手方向(軸方向)の一端側(使用時の先端側であり咽頭側:図示右側)は、口腔への挿入が容易なように、小径テーパー状の先細部11cになっている。さらに、その外形は、その外面11a(軸方向断面)が略方形状であり、その角部が丸められた形状をしている。そして、筒状本体11の両側面には、気管内挿管チューブを沿わせて固定するための凹部11d,11dが形成されているとともに、その内周(中空部11b)には、口腔内の唾液の吸引等の処置に利用することのできる孔が形成されている。なお、この中空部11b内にチューブを挿通させることもできる。 The configuration of the bite block 1 will be described in more detail. The cylindrical main body 11 has a hollow cylindrical shape as a whole, and is one end side in the longitudinal direction (axial direction) (the distal end side in use and the pharynx side: The right side in the figure is a small diameter tapered tip 11c so that insertion into the oral cavity is easy. Further, the outer shape of the outer surface 11a (axial cross section) is a substantially square shape, and the corners thereof are rounded. In addition, concave portions 11d and 11d for fixing the endotracheal intubation tube along the side surfaces of the cylindrical main body 11 are formed, and saliva in the oral cavity is formed on the inner periphery (hollow portion 11b). A hole that can be used for treatment such as suction is formed. A tube can be inserted into the hollow portion 11b.
 また、上記上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとは、図1(c)のように、筒状本体11の軸方向(x方向)から見た場合、上記筒状本体11周りの周方向位置が、互いに重ならないように(この例の場合は、中心軸を挟んで対向する位置に)形成されており、これら上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとに挟まれた、筒状本体11周辺の周方向領域(空間S,S’)が、上記凹部11d,11dと一体になって、気管内挿管チューブを上記筒状本体11に沿って軸方向に挿通させることのできる「チューブ収容部」となっている。 Further, the upper jaw flange portion 12a and the lower jaw flange portion 12b are arranged around the cylindrical main body 11 when viewed from the axial direction (x direction) of the cylindrical main body 11 as shown in FIG. The cylinders are formed so that the directional positions do not overlap each other (in this example, at positions facing each other across the central axis), and are sandwiched between the upper jaw flange portion 12a and the lower jaw flange portion 12b. A circumferential region (space S, S ′) around the cylindrical main body 11 is integrated with the recesses 11 d, 11 d, and an endotracheal intubation tube can be inserted along the cylindrical main body 11 in the axial direction. It is a “tube housing part”.
 なお、バイトブロック1を、筒状本体11の軸方向(x方向)から見た場合、上記筒状本体11の外側(口唇外側)端面には、図1(c)のように、このバイトブロックの使用方向の上下(天地)を示すマークMが設けられている。 When the bite block 1 is viewed from the axial direction (x direction) of the cylindrical body 11, the bite block is formed on the outer (outer lip) end surface of the cylindrical main body 11 as shown in FIG. The mark M which shows the upper and lower sides (top and bottom) of the usage direction is provided.
 以上のような構成のバイトブロック1を使用する際も、このバイトブロック1の口腔内への挿入に先立って、気管内挿管チューブが患者等の気管に挿入される。ついで、上記バイトブロックの筒状本体11の先端側(図示右側の先細部11c)を、患者等に銜えさせるようにして口腔内に挿入する。そして、上記バイトブロック1の上顎用フランジ部12aを、患者等の上唇と上顎前歯との間に、下顎用フランジ部12bを、下唇と下顎前歯との間にそれぞれ挟み込み(図4参照)、この状態で、上記筒状本体11側面の凹部11d,11dのどちらかに、気管内挿管チューブを嵌め入れるように配置する。 Even when the bite block 1 having the above-described configuration is used, the endotracheal intubation tube is inserted into the trachea of a patient or the like prior to insertion of the bite block 1 into the oral cavity. Next, the distal end side (the tapered detail 11c on the right side of the figure) of the cylindrical body 11 of the bite block is inserted into the oral cavity so as to be lifted by a patient or the like. Then, the upper flange portion 12a of the bite block 1 is sandwiched between the upper lip of the patient or the like and the upper jaw front teeth, and the lower jaw flange portion 12b is sandwiched between the lower lip and the lower jaw front teeth (see FIG. 4). In this state, it arrange | positions so that the endotracheal intubation tube may be inserted in either of the recessed parts 11d and 11d of the said cylindrical main body 11 side surface.
 ここで、上記バイトブロック1の口腔内への挿入に際しては、先に述べたように、筒状本体11の口唇外側の端面(すなわち、患者等の口唇により隠れない位置)に、上記バイトブロック1の使用方向の上下(天地)を示すマークMが設けられていることから、このバイトブロック1を挿入する医療従事者等は、その挿入方向を間違うことなく、該バイトブロック1を適正な方向に挿入することができる。 Here, when the bite block 1 is inserted into the oral cavity, as described above, the bite block 1 is placed on the end surface outside the lip of the cylindrical main body 11 (that is, the position not hidden by the lip of the patient or the like). Since the mark M indicating the upper and lower sides (top and bottom) of the use direction is provided, medical personnel or the like who insert the bite block 1 do not make the insertion direction wrong and put the bite block 1 in an appropriate direction. Can be inserted.
 また、バイトブロック1のフランジが、上顎専用のフランジ部12aと下顎専用のフランジ部12bに分割され、これらの間に、人が口を閉じた時に生じる「上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせの差」に対応した軸方向の前後差(距離L)が設けられていることから、このバイトブロック1は、上記のように口腔内に留置され、患者等の口が閉じられた場合でも、上記筒状本体11の先端部(奥側)が咽頭側に向かって真っ直ぐに挿入された状態を保つ。そのため、このバイトブロック1は、気管内挿管チューブが、上記筒状本体11側面の凹部11dおよびチューブ収容部に沿いやすく、上記気管内挿管チューブを簡単に固定することができる。 Further, the flange of the bite block 1 is divided into a flange portion 12a dedicated to the upper jaw and a flange portion 12b dedicated to the lower jaw, and a “difference in meshing between the upper and lower jaw front teeth, which occurs when a person closes his / her mouth between them. The bite block 1 is placed in the oral cavity as described above even when the patient's mouth is closed as described above. The state where the tip (back side) of the main body 11 is inserted straight toward the pharynx side is maintained. Therefore, in this bite block 1, the endotracheal intubation tube can easily be along the recess 11d on the side surface of the cylindrical main body 11 and the tube housing portion, and the endotracheal intubation tube can be easily fixed.
 さらに、本実施形態のバイトブロック1は、上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとが、「上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせの差」に起因して生じる口腔前庭の傾きに沿って配置されるため、上唇と下唇およびこれら口唇部内側にも圧迫が加わらず、無理なく銜え続けることができる。その結果、本実施形態におけるバイトブロック1は、長時間使用しても、口腔内粘膜や口唇部内側に潰瘍等の発生がなく、安心して使い続けることができる。 Further, in the bite block 1 of the present embodiment, the upper jaw flange portion 12a and the lower jaw flange portion 12b are arranged along the inclination of the oral vestibule caused by “the difference in meshing between the upper jaw anterior teeth and the lower jaw anterior teeth”. Therefore, no pressure is applied to the upper lip and the lower lip, and the inside of these lip portions, and it can be maintained without difficulty. As a result, even if the bite block 1 in this embodiment is used for a long time, there is no occurrence of ulcers in the oral mucosa and the inside of the lip, and it can be used safely.
 そして、上顎用フランジ部12aと下顎用フランジ部12bとに挟まれた領域(空間S,S’)がチューブ収容部に形成されていることから、上記気管内挿管チューブを筒状本体11に沿って、その左右のどちらにでも挿通させることができる。 And since the area | region (space S, S ') pinched | interposed into the flange part 12a for upper jaws and the flange part 12b for lower jaws is formed in the tube accommodating part, the said endotracheal intubation tube is followed along the cylindrical main body 11. FIG. And can be inserted through either the left or right side.
 つぎに、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。
 図2は、本発明の第2実施形態におけるバイトブロック2の構成を示す図であり、(a)は上面図、(b)は側面図である。なお、第1実施形態と同様、図示の上下方向(z方向)は、このバイトブロック2使用時の上下方向を示す。また、筒状の本体の軸方向(一点鎖線)は、バイトブロック2の長手方向(x方向)と一致しているものとする。
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
2A and 2B are diagrams showing the configuration of the byte block 2 in the second embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 2A is a top view and FIG. 2B is a side view. As in the first embodiment, the illustrated vertical direction (z direction) indicates the vertical direction when the bite block 2 is used. Further, it is assumed that the axial direction (one-dot chain line) of the cylindrical main body coincides with the longitudinal direction (x direction) of the bite block 2.
 本実施形態におけるバイトブロック2が、先の第1実施形態におけるバイトブロック1と異なる点は、上顎用フランジ部22aと下顎用フランジ部22bとが、筒状本体21の軸方向にスライド移動可能に形成されている点である。なお、図2中の符号21eは、上記筒状本体1の外面21aに設けられ、各フランジ部22a,22bをスライド移動可能に支承する凹溝であり、符号21fは、各フランジ部22a,22bの軸方向の位置決め(仮固定)するための多段段部である。 The bite block 2 in this embodiment is different from the bite block 1 in the previous first embodiment in that the upper jaw flange portion 22a and the lower jaw flange portion 22b are slidable in the axial direction of the cylindrical main body 21. It is a point that is formed. 2 is a concave groove provided on the outer surface 21a of the cylindrical main body 1 for supporting the flange portions 22a and 22b so as to be slidable. Reference numeral 21f is a flange portion 22a and 22b. It is a multi-stage part for positioning (temporarily fixing) in the axial direction.
 このように各フランジ部22a,22bを軸方向へスライド移動可能とすることにより、上顎前歯と下顎前歯の噛み合わせの「個人差」、すなわち口唇形状や口腔内形状の個体差に、よりきめ細かく対応することが可能になる。したがって、このバイトブロック2は、気管内挿管チューブのバイトブロック1に沿った固定が、より容易になるとともに、口腔内における潰瘍発生のリスクを、さらに低減することができる。 By making each flange portion 22a, 22b slidable in the axial direction in this way, it is possible to deal more closely with "individual differences" in the meshing of the maxillary anterior teeth and mandibular anterior teeth, that is, individual differences in the lip shape and intraoral shape. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, the bite block 2 can more easily fix the endotracheal intubation tube along the bite block 1 and can further reduce the risk of ulcer occurrence in the oral cavity.
 また、本実施形態におけるバイトブロック2のもう一つの特徴は、図2(b)のように、上記スライド移動する上顎用フランジ部22aが、上顎前歯列のならびの外側形状に沿って湾曲する形状に形成され、下顎用フランジ部22bが、下顎前歯列のならびの外側形状に沿って湾曲する形状に形成されている点である。すなわち、上記上顎用フランジ部22aと下顎用フランジ部22bとは、図2のように、上記挿入用先細部側に傾斜し、かつ、口腔前庭の形状に沿って口の左右方向に回りこむ形状に形成されている。この構成によって、上顎用フランジ部22aおよび下顎用フランジ部22bの口腔前庭や口唇部内側等に対する圧迫がより緩和され、本実施形態におけるバイトブロック2は、この部位における潰瘍の発生をさらに抑制することができる。 Further, another feature of the bite block 2 in the present embodiment is that, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the above-mentioned sliding upper jaw flange portion 22a is curved along the outer shape of the upper front teeth row. The lower jaw flange 22b is formed in a shape that curves along the outer shape of the lower jaw front teeth row. That is, the upper jaw flange portion 22a and the lower jaw flange portion 22b are inclined toward the insertion detail side as shown in FIG. 2 and wrap around in the left-right direction of the mouth along the shape of the oral vestibule. Is formed. With this configuration, the pressure on the oral vestibule and the inside of the lip of the upper jaw flange portion 22a and the lower jaw flange portion 22b is further alleviated, and the bite block 2 in the present embodiment further suppresses the occurrence of ulcers at this site. Can do.
 なお、上記2つの実施形態において、各バイトブロック1,2の筒状本体11,21および各フランジ部12a,12b,22a,22b等を構成する材料としては、シリコンゴムや、ブチルゴム,スチレン・ブタジエンゴム,二トリルゴムなど、ある程度の硬さと弾力性を両方兼ね備えるものが好ましい。もちろん、その他のゴム類の他、軟質塩ビ等のような可撓性を有する樹脂、あるいは、ポリエチレン(PP),ポリプロピレン(PE),ポリアミド(PA),PET,PENや塩化ビニール樹脂等、公知のプラスチックのなかで、人体に無害なものを使用することも可能である。 In the above two embodiments, the materials constituting the cylindrical main bodies 11 and 21 and the flange portions 12a, 12b, 22a, and 22b of the bite blocks 1 and 2 are silicon rubber, butyl rubber, styrene butadiene, and the like. Those having both a certain degree of hardness and elasticity such as rubber and nitrile rubber are preferable. Of course, in addition to other rubbers, flexible resins such as soft vinyl chloride, polyethylene (PP), polypropylene (PE), polyamide (PA), PET, PEN, vinyl chloride resin, etc. It is possible to use plastics that are harmless to the human body.
 さらに、上記シリコンゴム等のゴム類を材料として使用する場合、形成する部位によってその硬さ(JIS K 6253に準拠したショアA硬度 デュロメータ-タイプAで測定)を変えても良い。例えば、人体に接触する各フランジ部と筒状本体の表層(外層)を、硬度20~40°(ショアA)のシリコンゴムから形成し、筒状本体の内層を、歯の噛み潰しの圧力に耐える硬度60~80°(ショアA)のシリコンゴムから形成するようにしても良い。 Furthermore, when rubbers such as the above-mentioned silicon rubber are used as a material, the hardness (measured with Shore A hardness durometer-type A in accordance with JIS K 6253) may be changed depending on the part to be formed. For example, each flange portion that contacts the human body and the surface layer (outer layer) of the cylindrical main body are formed of silicon rubber having a hardness of 20 to 40 ° (Shore A), and the inner layer of the cylindrical main body is subjected to the pressure of crushing teeth. It may be formed from silicon rubber having a hardness of 60 to 80 ° (Shore A).
