Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, blood, saliva, body fluid, powder or granular cutting / polishing debris, etc. scattered from a patient when performing various medical operations such as cutting, polishing, surgery, etc. are part of the body of a dentist, doctor, etc. It is related with the medical protection attachment which prevents that it collides and adheres to.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In addition, for example, when a dental treatment is performed by a dentist, cutting waste or saliva jumps into the dentist's face when performing treatment such as tooth decay cutting or polishing, or blood is observed due to bleeding associated with the treatment. There is also a risk of getting into the mouth and the mouth and being contaminated.
Because of this situation, masks and glasses are sometimes used, but infections that have high mortality rates such as AIDS (HIV) and hepatitis B that are infected due to blood have not been developed. It is not an effective defense to prevent it.
[0003]
Therefore, even in the case of such treatment of teeth, face shields 100 and 101 (see FIGS. 7 and 8) formed of a transparent plastic resin or the like and lowered from the neck or attached to the head or underwater glasses are used. Such as safety goggles that are attached in close contact with the face have been developed.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, such protective masks, protective glasses, face shields and safety goggles are all configured to be attached using a part of the wearer's body, The same applies not only to the treatment work but also to the treatment work by a doctor with surgery and the like.
[0005]
Moreover, in such cases, various powders and liquids generated during treatment often adhere to and accumulate on a part of the body even if they do not adhere to the face, so washing of clothes etc. after treatment is necessary. This is also inconvenient.
[0006]
Further, there is also known one in which a shielding plate is attached in the vicinity of a suction nozzle as described in JP-A-8-33659. However, since there is a relatively large space between the nozzle and the shielding plate, this causes a disadvantage that a part of the shaving powder cannot be removed well in this space portion. Further, when the shielding plate is welded to the nozzle side, there is a possibility that the nozzle portion becomes obstructed and welding cannot be performed well.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention can be used without being worn on the user's body. In other words, the present invention does not interfere with various treatments and does not leak dust, blood and other things that scatter and jump. Since it can be removed by aspiration, it can reliably protect the face from these layers and blood, and at the same time it can illuminate the treatment site brightly and provide a medical protection attachment that can be installed anywhere It is for the purpose.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that an air intake port is attached to the end of the suction duct, and discharge from the patient's mouth is sucked from the air intake port into the suction duct. In the medical protection attachment in which the transparent product part is detachably provided at the intake of the suction port, a universal joint that rotates in the vertical and horizontal directions is interposed between the proximal end of the suction duct and the intake, and the intake A clip-shaped mounting portion is formed on the transparent protective portion using a spring of the mounting portion, or the transparent protective portion is attached to the suction duct by magnetic force without using the mounting portion, and the transparent protective portion is attached. and forming the degree of size and shape that can cover the entire face of the patient, it forms the protected portion peelability as adhering to the transparent protection unit surface from good material And, or those where the release agent is applied to the surface of the protection unit.
[0009]
In addition, a universal joint is planned as the universal joint, and further, a forming material is selected or a release agent is applied to the surface in order to improve the peelability of the transparent protect portion.
[0010]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, an antireflection film is applied to the surface of the transparent protect portion .
[0011]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, another transparent protect portion that can cover the face of the doctor is formed on the transparent protect portion that covers the face of the patient .
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 and 2 show a medical protect attachment according to the present invention, and this protect attachment is provided at a distal end portion of a suction duct 1 fixed and installed on an arm A (or a treatment table, a head, etc.). An air intake 2 and a transparent protect portion 3 detachably provided on the intake 2 are provided.
[0013]
The suction duct 1 has a flexible structure that can be extended and / or rotated, and is installed along the arm A or the like. For example, the suction duct 1 can be held upright and can hold a desired shape. As long as it can be structured, it may be self-supported without being attached to an arm or the like.
[0014]
The intake port 2 is formed of a hard material and is connected to a suction pump on the base end side (not shown), but is directly connected to the base end portion 1A of the suction duct 1 so that it can freely move in a desired direction. It is configured so that it can be held in a rotated and swung state. In addition, the intake 2 is formed in a shape in which an opening is expanded so that air can be taken in widely.
In the present invention, a universal joint that rotates in the vertical and horizontal directions may be interposed between the intake port 2 and the base end side of the suction duct.
[0015]
In addition, a clip-like mounting portion 4 is formed in the intake port 2, and the transparent protect portion 3 can be firmly attached (detachably) using a spring provided therein.
[0016]
The transparent protect part 3 is composed of a transparent cover having a size and shape (for example, oval or circular) that can cover the entire patient's face. The transparent cover is chamfered so that a sharp edge is not formed particularly on the outer peripheral edge, but may be processed into a curved surface in an R shape to prevent cracking of the peripheral edge. The transparent cover is formed using glass or transparent resin such as vinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polystyrene, acrylic resin, or the like. Furthermore, this transparent cover is preferably made of a material with good peelability so that it can be easily removed even if blood, saliva, other body fluids, etc. adhere to it, but a release agent is applied to the surface. It doesn't matter. It is convenient if an appropriate antireflection film is applied to the surface of the transparent cover.
[0017]
In addition, this transparent protect portion 3 is formed so that a protruding portion 3A formed in a plate shape (or a rod shape) is attached to the mounting portion 4 by a spring force so that it can be easily replaced with a new one each time the patient changes. It is removable. In addition, in this invention, you may fix with the various attachment means which can implement | achieve one-touch attachment / detachment with a hand easily instead of a clip-shaped attachment part. By doing in this way, it is relieved from the troublesome replacement work of the transparent protection part that is frequently replaced whenever the patient changes.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an adsorbing body 31 made of a magnetic material formed of iron or the like is provided at the end on the mounting portion 3A side, and the suction duct 1A facing the permanent body is permanently attached to the front end. A magnet (magnet) 11 may be fixed, and the permanent magnet 11 may attract the attracting body 31 and use a magnetic force that firmly fixes the transparent protect portion 3. On the contrary, a permanent magnet may be fixed on the mounting portion side and an adsorbent may be provided at the tip of the suction duct 1A. Furthermore, the structure which fixes a permanent magnet to both may be sufficient.
[0018]
Furthermore, the shape of the transparent protect portion is not limited to that of this embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. The transparent protective part 3 'formed of a transparent material in such a shape as possible, or a transparent protective part 3 "that can also cover a part of the patient's face (covering at least a part that does not interfere with treatment) may be used. .
[0019]
Therefore, according to this embodiment, when the patient is treated, for example, when the upper body is erected, the intake 2 is raised in accordance with the position of the patient's face, and the posture can be freely set to a desired desired position. The transparent protect portion 3 can be aligned.
[0020]
Further, for example, when the treatment is performed with the patient laid down, the arm 2 can be largely bent and the transparent protect portion 3 can be moved to a position corresponding to the position of the patient's face. In addition, if the transparent protector 3 is appropriately rotated, the orientation can be freely adjusted according to the orientation of the patient's face.
[0021]
In addition, if it is configured to be fixed to the arm or the like by an appropriate fixing means, the installation range is not particularly limited, and the applicable range is greatly expanded.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the air intake is attached to the end of the suction duct, and the exhaust from the patient's mouth is sucked from the air intake into the suction duct. In the medical protection attachment in which the transparent product part is detachably provided, a universal joint that rotates in the vertical and horizontal directions is interposed between the base end of the suction duct and the intake, and the intake is clipped. The mounting part is formed and the transparent protection part is attached by using the spring of the mounting part, or the transparent protection part is attached to the suction duct by magnetic force without using the mounting part, and the transparent protection part is attached to the patient's face. and forming the degree of size and shape which can be the whole covering, peeling property between those adhering to the transparent protection unit surface forms the protected portion of good material, Oh Since There was applying a release agent to the surface of the protection unit, not only can protect such as blood and body fluid for the face or the like is released from attachment such as blood and body fluid to clothes, clean A safe treatment space can be realized.
[0023]
In addition, when the transparent protect portion is provided with peelability, body fluid can be easily removed.
