Surgical Lingual Retractor Plus

Abstract

The Surgical Lingual Retractor Plus device is unique because there are not retractors similar to it, either due to its simplification that allows to retract tissue and protect anatomical structures at the same time, it can fulfill the function of suction of fluids and illumination of the surgical area to be treated by the dental professional or other medical professionals. The protection that it provides to the tissues is contemplated by the fact that it is a device made of stainless steel, providing protection against cutting and high-speed rotating instruments. This device will have a grip component, a retraction component and a protection component connected to a suction and lighting system, all with the purpose of being able to perform all the functions at the same time during the surgery, once simplifies the psychomotor actions by the operator (dental or medical professionals).

Claims

1. This device is made of stainless steel with a angled steam attached to a spoon-shaped area with a convex outer smooth surface and a concave inner surface.

2. The convex surface and the concave surface are delimited from each other externally in all their extension by a multi-perforated edge that constitutes part of the suction system internally joined to the rod.

3. Multi-perforated Edge is made up of multiple holes, it has a cylindrical shape and is located on the edge of the device limiting the concave and convex surface.

4. It comprises removable lighting system on the posterior surface of the device, this lighting system is positioned medially next to the junction of the steam and the protection components.

5. The steam has a cylindrical shape with one straight end and one angled end.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

[0022] FIG. 1: Anterolateral View:

[0023] In this view we can visualize five parts of the device.

[0024] Part 1: Aspiration anchor, which will connect with the high volume suction of the dental unit

[0025] Part 2: Stem, which forms the grip component.

[0026] Part 3: Concave part, which is constituted by a smooth surface whose space will be occupied by tissues and organs when performing the retraction maneuver.

[0027] Part 4: Multi-perforated edge, made up of multiple 2 mm diameter holes.

[0028] Part 5: Led light, which will broaden the vision of the operative field by lighting it, it will have the option of being removed when necessary by the operator.

[0030] In this view we can visualize four parts of the device.

[0031] Part 1: Aspiration anchor, which will connect with the high volume suction of the dental unit

[0032] Part 2: Stem, which forms the grip component.

[0033] Part 5: Led light, which will broaden the vision of the operative field by lighting it, it will have the option of being removed when necessary by the operator.

[0034] Part 6: convex part, consisting of a smooth surface, ovoid in shape and convex throughout its length similar to a spoon, this part constitutes the protection component.

[0035] FIG. 3: Anterior View

[0036] In this view we can visualize four parts of the device.

[0037] Part 1: Aspiration anchor, which will connect with the high volume suction of the dental unit

[0038] Part 2: Stem, which forms the grip component.

[0039] Part 3: Concave part, which is constituted by a smooth surface whose space will be occupied by tissues and organs when performing the retraction maneuver.

[0040] Part 4: Multi-perforated edge, made up of multiple 2 mm diameter holes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0041] The device called Surgical Lingual Retractor Plus will be made of stainless steel in all its structural extension with a spoon shape and will consist of 6 parts: aspiration anchor, steam, concave part, multi-perforated edge, led light and convex part; 3 components: grip component, retraction component and protection component, it will also present an internal suction system with an external lighting system.

[0042] Gripping component: Is made up of the steam with one straight end (aspiration anchor) that will be connected to the high volume suction system of the dental chair and with another angled end that will be connected to the retraction component and the protection component. The led light will be located on the posterior area of this component, which will be positioned in the angled area of the stem, close to the front edge of the protection component.

[0043] Retraction component: Concave surface allowing the retraction of organs and tissues in that area, it has a multi-perforated edge that will allow the passage of fluids through the activation of the aspiration system.

[0044] Protection component: It consists of a convex surface allowing the stabilization and protection of tissues and organs near the surgical area to be intervened.

[0045] Next to the union of this component and the gripping component, the lighting system will be fixed, which will allow an increase in the visibility of the surgical area.

[0046] It should be noted that this device presents unique factors that make it particular to similar devices which are made of a non-rigid material making it deficient for the protection and stable retraction of tissues and organs in surgical procedures. At the same time, the differentiation is noted with respect to traditional lingual retractors, which do not comply with the multifunctionality of this device (Surgical Lingual Retractor) at the same time.

[0047] The multifunctionality of this device are the following: stable retraction and protection of tissues and organs, increased visibility due to lighting and aspiration of fluids, decrease aerosol and simplification of psychomotor maneuvers by the operator and assistant.
