Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention protects medical personnel from blood, body fluid, and saliva droplets of patients caused by cutting and surgery during surgery and dental treatment. Is. A dust-proof wall is interposed between the patient and the medical staff (including a doctor) so that the dust-proof wall 6 catches the droplets from the patient due to cutting or surgery, and the suction device 5 immediately eliminates the droplets. The vacuum hose 7 is attached from the vacuum main body to the end portion 3a of the arm portion 3, passes through the hollow portion of the arm portion 3, once comes out from immediately before the arm joint portion 4, and is inserted into the suction device 5 again. To be done. The dustproof wall 6 is fixed to the suction device 5 by a dustproof wall fixing device 9. When this device is not used, the dustproof wall 6 and the suction device 5 are raised by the arm joint portion 4 as shown in FIG.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, medical staff including doctors use a mask or glasses to prevent splashes from patients due to surgical instruments and cutting, and to eliminate some of the splashes by a suction device installed near the operating unit. .

[0003]

In the conventional suction device, there is a limit to suction, and the suction is insufficient, depending on the direction, range and speed of the droplets.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] This device compensates for insufficient suction of droplets. An arm is attached to a unit or an operating table, a dust-proof wall is fixed to the arm, and a suction device is attached to the inside of the dust-proof wall. It eliminates most of the droplets.

[0005]

Operation: The dust scattered by the patient is received by the dustproof wall, and is removed by the suction device mounted inside the dustproof wall.

[0006]

EXAMPLES (See FIGS. 1, 2, and 4) A commercially available vacuum hose 7 was attached to an arm portion 3 made of metal, the arm attaching portion 2 was made of metal, and the arm portion 3 was fixed to a unit. The arm 3 and the suction device 5 were connected by the arm joint 4, and the dustproof wall was made of transparent plastic and fixed to the suction device 5 by the dustproof wall fixing device 9.

[0007]

[Effects of the Invention] When actually cutting and performing a surgical operation,
Up to now, a large amount of dirt such as blood splashed from the patient adhered to the eyeglasses and mask, but when this device was used, the adhesion was not seen at all. Furthermore, due to the effect of the suction device, almost no dirt or fogging was observed on the dust-proof wall. Recently, infection by HIV (AIDS, etc.) virus has become a problem, and this helps to improve the hygiene environment of medical personnel such as patients and doctors.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for preventing droplet infection of medical personnel in dental and surgical treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, medical personnel have used masks, glasses or the like or a droplet infection preventive device installed in the vicinity of an operating part to protect droplets of blood, body fluid, etc. generated during treatment of a patient. .

[0003]

In the conventional droplet infection preventive apparatus, the droplet may not be sufficiently sucked depending on the direction and range of the droplet or the speed of the droplet.

Further, since the suction hollow pipe and the arm portion of the droplet infection preventing apparatus are separated from the treatment unit,
These equipments sometimes hindered the treatment.

[0005]

[Means for Explaining the Problems] As described above, the present invention provides a treatment unit chair (1) in order to solve the problems of hitherto-improved effect of droplet suction and operability during treatment. The suction hollow pipe (4) is fixed, and the hood (5) is attached to the end of the suction hollow pipe.

In order to fix the suction hollow pipe to the treatment unit, a method of guiding the suction hollow pipe by a hard arm made of metal or the like is preferable. The suction hollow pipe at this time is a bellows-shaped flexible pipe. Is an enemy.

Further, the suction hollow pipe has a structure in which a coil having hardness is built in, so that an apparatus which does not require an arm for guiding the pipe can be obtained.

The droplets sucked from the hood which serves as the suction port of the present invention passes through a hollow pipe for suction and is guided to a blower for collecting the droplets and treating the exhaust gas.

As described above, according to the present invention, which is characterized in that the suction hollow pipe portion is fixed to the treatment unit chair portion, the hood portion corresponding to the suction port can be easily moved to the treatment portion of the patient, which is conventionally long and large. Since it is possible to minimize the arm portion and the hollow pipe for suction, which has been described above, the working effect during treatment is also improved.

[0010]

With the extraoral suction device of the present invention configured as described above, the droplets scattered from the patient during dental and surgical treatment are effectively sucked, and the droplet infection to the medical staff due to these droplets is prevented. You can

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In explaining an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, a structure in which a suction hollow pipe is fixed to a chair back plate portion of a treatment unit in the present invention is shown.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, in which a commercially available vacuum hose is used as a suction hollow pipe (4).
It was attached to an arm part (3) made of metal and fixed with a hollow pipe fixing part (2) for suction. A transparent plastic hood (5) was attached to the tip of the suction hollow pipe. Also, a blower (6) as an exhaust device for the hollow pipe for suction
Are connected.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] Actually, when cutting and surgery were actually performed as dental treatment, up to now, a large amount of dirt including blood and the like splashed from the patient adhered to the eyeglasses and masks. , The adhesion was not seen at all. Furthermore, due to the effect of the suction device, almost no dirt or cloudiness was found on the hood.

Recently, infection by viruses such as HIV has become a problem, but this helps to improve the hygiene environment of medical personnel including patients and doctors.

Further, it can be seen that during the treatment, the suction hollow pipe and the arm portion do not become an obstacle as in the conventional case, and the suction is effectively performed.
