Definitions
- the present invention relates to an intraoral-pharyngeal device intended for the treatment of ronchopathy. More particularly, the invention aims to suppress snoring and avoid sleep apnea, occurring during the sleep of certain patients.
- Snoring is an inspiratory, or predominantly inspiratory, noise produced by the vibration of pharyngeal soft tissue.
- Snoring is said to result from the entanglement of several anomalies: local anatomical factors, abnormally collapsible pharyngeal walls, muscle tone disturbances and the like.
- the pharynx shrinks significantly. This reduction of the pharyngeal light is the result of a soft palate 15 and a uvula 16, descending behind the base 14 of the tongue 13. The oscillation of these structures generates an audible vibration, snoring.
- the increase in pharyngeal resistance limits the inspiratory flow at different levels, in particular in the region of the soft palate 15 and the base of the tongue 14 which are pressed against the posterior pharyngeal wall 18
- the supine position promotes snoring, perhaps by falling of the tongue 13, but especially of the base of the tongue 14 against the posterior pharyngeal wall 18.
- snoring There are multiple disorders caused by snoring. In addition to discomfort for those around you, snoring makes sleep of poor quality and decreases blood oxygenation to a greater or lesser extent, which can have harmful consequences on the whole organism. It seems that severe snorers have, more often than mild snorers, high blood pressure and ischemic heart problems like angina or myocardial infarction. They also have a predisposition to cerebral ischemia.
- SAS Sleep apnea syndrome
- the main symptom is drowsiness. It is of varying severity, ranging from the simple feeling of chronic fatigue to untimely falling asleep in full activity.
- This device comprises a cannula having a curved proximal part and a straight distal part, intended to be inserted respectively up to the base of the tongue and to pass through the oral cavity, while projecting out of it where a rescuer can breathe air.
- the distal part is provided with a support disc which surrounds it radially and which comes to press on the lips of the patient in order to ensure correct positioning of the assembly.
- a filter placed in the distal part of the cannula makes it possible to prevent humidity blown with the respiratory air of the rescuer from reaching the patient's airways.
- the cannula is made of a semi-rigid, elastic material in order to be able to adapt to the particular anatomical conformation of each patient.
- this device is exclusively reserved for resuscitation of patients and aims in particular to create an unobstructed channel between the mouth of the rescuer and the tracks respiratory systems located downstream from the base of the tongue such as the larynx and trachea. It will be observed that the patient being unconscious, the cannula must have a rigidity such that it can be put in place possibly in force, because the pharyngeal muscles can be paralyzed due to the trauma.
- the present invention aims to provide a simple and effective device for the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea, which avoids all the disadvantages of devices and methods, surgical or otherwise, used hitherto, the device being particularly convenient to use and can be easily fitted by a patient suffering from ronchopathy and / or sleep apnea.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a device for treating snoring and sleep apnea, intended to be placed in the oropharynx and at the level of the pre-buccal region, characterized in that it comprises in combination: a anatomically curved tube of a length allowing, in situ and by its proximal end, to reach at least the base of the tongue and at its distal end to project from the oral cavity, and reinforcing means provided near from said distal end and intended to reinforce said tube in the area of the teeth and lips and to prevent crushing of said tube, so that, placed in the oropharynx of a patient during sleep, the air flow animated by the patient can pass freely without obstacle between the outside and the area located downstream of the base of the tongue, without blocking and without vibrating the surrounding soft tissues in particular the soft palate, the base of the tongue and the pa pharyngeal king.
- Figure 1 shows in profile, the device according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows from the front, the device according to the invention seen from the proximal side
- Figure 3 shows in profile, and in section, the device according to the invention
- Figure 4 shows a front view, and in section, the device according to the invention
- Figure 5 shows a cross section of the tube of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 6 shows an anatomical section of
- the device comprises, according to a first characteristic, a flexible and non-rigid intra-buccopharyngeal tube 1, in order to be well supported by the patient during the positioning before sleep and during sleep.
- This tube 1 is of suitable anatomical shape, that is to say arcuate to be placed between the tongue 13 and the soft palate 15, which allows the passage of air.
- the flexible, non-rigid material of the tube must be compatible with contact with the oral mucosa. Flexibility must be adapted so that the walls between which it is inserted do not collapse under the pressure of the soft tissue of the palate and the tongue.
- the tube is deformable to some extent, but that it resumes an arc shape when the deformation force is released. Otherwise, the passage delimited by the tube must always be able to remain open in situ and in particular at its proximal end.
- the tube 1 will preferably be made of a material of Shore hardness between 10 and 50, a silicone or a latex which may be suitable.
- the wall 8 of the tube 1 is of variable thickness depending on the material used, of about 2 mm for example, but the thickness can vary depending on the hardness required.
- a particularly suitable material is a flexible silicone, polymerizable at room temperature, and in food contact such as the product Silbione RTV 71557 (®) from Rhône-Poulenc ". Flexible materials other than silicones or latexes can be used as long as they have the specified hardness and are non-irritating to the skin and the mucous membranes and devoid of any toxic effect for the organism.
- Tube 1 can be made by depositing the silicone on a preformed mold, but other production methods are possible. , in particular by injection.
- the inspired air 10 therefore goes freely from the outside to the larynx, passing the obstacle of zone B (FIG. 7) which constitute the tongue 13, the veil of the palate 15 and the base of the tongue 14. There is therefore no longer any discomfort with the passage of air, so the snoring is eliminated, as are the apneas.
- the device allows the passage of air, avoiding the anatomical obstacles of zone B which collapse during sleep.
- the air flow 10 therefore goes, without brake and without noise, to the larynx.
- an extraoral base 5 presses against the teeth 12 and the lips 11.
- the first distal centimeters of the tube 1 are reinforced by a part in the form of a socket or reinforcement 6 produced in a material other than that of the tube 1 in order to increase the rigidity for the support of the teeth 12.
- the teeth come to press on this reinforcement 6 which widens towards the distal end, and the base 5 extraoral it will be supported on the lips 11.
- the base 5 and the reinforcement 6 can be made of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene), of polystyrene or of another similar material.
- a metal such as aluminum or titanium can also be used.
- a filter 2 of sufficient filtering surface is placed at the distal end of the tube 1, in order to filter and humidify the air inhaled by a filtering part 3 of a suitable material.
- This filter is secured to the base 5 by any suitable means. Indeed, it is essential to replace the nasal function by ridding the air of suspended particles, by humidifying it, and by heating it. Without such a filter, the air would quickly dry out the laryngeal and tracheal mucosa and the device would not be tolerated. The dust inhaled during sleep is also a factor of intolerance of the device, causing irritation and coughing.
- This filter can have various shapes and be made of various materials.
- it comprises an annular air-permeable cage 2a in which the filtering part 3 is placed, which may be in a synthetic loose-mesh foam, such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) foam, or also in agglomerated sheets of polyamides or polyesters, but other materials can be used, as long as they do not prevent passage air 10.
- a synthetic loose-mesh foam such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) foam
- PVC Polyvinyl Chloride
- the filtering part 3 is removable so that it can be changed or cleaned.
- the cage 2a for its part, can be made of ABS, like the base 5 and the reinforcement 6.
- the main tube 1 has in section (FIG. 5) an oval shape, 20 mm wide by 10 mm high approximately, in its external dimensions.
- the internal lumen 9 is 16 mm in width and 6 mm in height approximately. These dimensions can be different depending on the size of the tube and the material used for it.
- the flattened or oval section makes it possible to offer a light 9 and therefore a sufficient air flow, without there being any brake on the air flow 10, so that it is silent, and also so that the device is well supported during sleep.
- the dimensions of the tube 1 with respect to the anatomy of the individual are not at actual scale to allow the operation of the apparatus to be demonstrated. This can be seen by comparing Figure 6 to Figure 7.
- the length of the tube 1 can be adaptable for each patient by simple section of the proximal end 4 of the tube 1 so that the proximal orifice does not abut against the epiglottis 17, which would cause pain or a gag reflex or cough. Also, the end 4 of the tube 1 must be able to be easily cut with simple scissors. To facilitate this section, in the present embodiment, the proximal end 4 of the tube 1 is provided with notches, projections or particular marks 7 (FIG. 2) to specify and facilitate the section, so that the length can gradually be adapted.
- the wall 8 of the tube 1, the base 5 and the reinforcement 6 of the tube 1 can be reinforced with another material, metallic or synthetic in order to increase the rigidity, such as for example wires, plates or the like. materials. It may be an internal reinforcement, in the wall 8, the base and / or the reinforcement 6 themselves, or outside of these.
- An attachment system is desirable to hold the device in the oropharynx during sleep.
- the simplest system can be constituted by one or more elastic bands 24 passing behind the ears, the head or the neck.
- FIG. 7A illustrates a variant of the device according to the invention, in which there is provided a cap 25 threaded on the reinforcement 6 against the base 5.
- This cap made of a flexible material, for example the same as that of the tube, present at the free state a roughly conical shape with its convexity facing the distal end of the tube 1.
- This cap 25 comes to bear against the outside of the lips, deforming when the device is put in place, thus creating a sealing means preventing the flow of saliva outwards at the interface between the base 5 and the outlet from the oral cavity.
