Abstract

Intraoral wedge, used for surgeries and explorations of the oral, maxillofacial and neighborhood areas, characterized in that it comprises a rigid convergent surface (1) curved, joined by joining means (5) to another surface (4) curve that couples internally by the concave part of the rigid surface (1), and where the surface (4) has fastening elements (6) that form part of its structure, and that fix the endotracheal tube, existing between said surfaces (1) and (4) recesses (7) and (8) intended to accommodate steerable tubular devices.

Description

Intraoral wedge

Object of the invention

The present invention concerns a wedge intraoral, used for surgeries and space explorations buccal, maxillofacial and neighborhood areas, which allows passage and endotracheal tube clamping on the converging surface of the wedge, the joint surface between the planes being curved convergent The wedge consists of two surfaces joined together, where the internal surface allows the clamping of said tube oroendotracheal, and the outer surface has indentations to accommodate malleable sheets that act as separators lingual

Background of the invention

For tissue exploration and management and oral and maxillofacial territory structures, and the application of therapeutic techniques of different types, it is required in most occasions, of special instruments that facilitate these activities.

The existing wedges to date are not able to provide the benefits of the one presented in the invention, such as the passage of the endotracheal tube between the surfaces converging wedge. In addition, this surface is not usually curve, so being, in this case it makes the tube more away from the oral cavity by shifting out the cheek of the side where the wedge rests, and without using adhesives as tape that fix it to the skin structures of the cheek.

Description of the invention

The instrument presented is a device for common use in the territory you are talking about, although It has characteristics that make it new with respect to the already existing. Thus, it has a series of modifications not only structural, but also of concept, that make you get benefits compared to the rest. In this way, the intraoral wedge proposal allows the passage of the endotracheal tube between the surface convergent wedge. In addition, the joint surface is curved between converging planes, and with tube fixation endotracheal in its concave position, makes the tube more fixed and without using adhesives that fix the tube to the corresponding cheek skin structures, such as tape of various types, which usually irritate the skin and are more unstable Also the surgical field is easier to aseptize and the endotracheal tube is more exteriorized than the oral cavity, displacing the jugal region from the corresponding side where the intraoral wedge is inserted.

Other advantages related to the invention they would often avoid nasotracheal intubations, almost always at greater risk than the orotracheal. With the application of said wedge, the oral cavity is in better condition for facilitate surgical, exploratory techniques, etc., and also, the existence of the wedges carved into the wedge, similar to those of  other existing models, allow to control the language thanks to the malleable fins, and they don't get the rest of the devices They are rigid. This also allows only two surgeons, or Even one, they can manipulate the oral cavity more easily.

The system allows to obviate a third surgeon, which is what is usually needed to make the traumatic less intraoral surgery and dental inclusions, for example. Do not However, the benefits for other types of surgeries are also obvious. The material in which the wedges can be made is very varied, rubber coated steel to avoid damaging the tissues  and dental structures or the like, of various metals, such as titanium, to achieve a greater degree of lightness, or exclusively of hard plastic and other materials; except the dividers lingual, which are made of malleable materials so that the Separation of the tongue from the surgical field is effective.

The intraoral wedge consists of a surface rigid convergent, at whose ends some have been provided grooves carved into the thickness of said rigid surface, which they serve as support and sustenance to malleable sheets that will act as lingual separators. This rigid surface is attached to another similar curved surface, placed in its concave part internal, which consists of a device to hold the tube Oroendotracheal anesthetic, which serves as support and enters they determine a cuneiform structure, capable of interposing between the dental arcades, not only of the human being, but of others beings with similar anatomical peculiarities. The device is you can add an outlet for airship aspiration and / or irrigation, with the incorporation of perforated tubes that by the versatility of the wedge can sometimes function as a vacuum cleaner and sometimes as irrigator and simultaneously, and that will be housed between the Rigid convergent surface and curved surface.

Description of the drawings

To complete the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of the practical realization of it, it is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1 shows the wedge in plan by the concave part. The two surfaces (1) and (4) joined by the connecting elements (5). There are slits (2) in the surface (1) for fastening sheets (3) (Fig. 4). The fasteners (6) are elevated with respect to the surface (4), so that they act as a clamp to hold the endotracheal tube.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The invention consists of an intraoral wedge, used for surgery and explorations of the oral space, maxillofacial and neighborhood areas, comprising a surface convergent rigid (1) curve, joined by joining means (5) to another surface (4) curve that internally engages the concave part of the rigid surface (1), and where the surface (4) has fasteners (6) forming part of its structure, and which fix the endotracheal tube. Likewise, there are two holes (7) and (8) between the convergent rigid surface (1) and the surface (4) curve, for the arrangement of addressable tubular devices for aspiration and / or irrigation.

The rigid convergent surface (1) curve bears carved in its thickness two slits (2), which allow support and sustenance for malleable sheets (3) that act as lingual separators

Claims (2)
