Description
DISPOSITIF POUR LE LAVAGE ET LE BAIN DE L'ŒIL DEVICE FOR WASHING AND BATHING THE EYE
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif pour le lavage et le bain de l'œil.The invention relates to a device for washing and bathing the eye.
Il est connu de pratiquer des lavages et des bains de l'œil à l'aide de solutions dites ophtalmiques.It is known to practice eye washes and baths using so-called ophthalmic solutions.
Les lavages de l'œil ont essentiellement pour but d'éliminer par effet mécanique des corps étrangers du genre des poussières et des grains de sable, des projections de composés toxiques, par exemple des solutions acides ou alcalines, et de débarrasser l'œil des sécrétions conjonctivales. Les bains de l'œil, quant à eux, ont pour but d'assurer un contact prolongé entre une solution ophtalmique -par exemple, anti-inflammatoire, cicatrisante, antibiotique et autres— et la surface extérieure du globe oculaire, à savoir notamment la cornée et la sclérotique.The main purpose of eye washes is to remove, by mechanical effect, foreign bodies such as dust and grains of sand, projections of toxic compounds, for example acid or alkaline solutions, and to rid the eye of conjunctival secretions. Eye baths, for their part, are intended to ensure prolonged contact between an ophthalmic solution - for example, anti-inflammatory, healing, antibiotic and others - and the external surface of the eyeball, namely in particular the cornea and sclera.
A ce jour, pour effectuer les lavages de l'œil, le patient lui-même, une infirmière ou simplement une tierce personne, dirige un jet de solution ophtalmique sur le globe oculaire par simple pression manuelle sur un flacon souple.To date, to perform the eye washes, the patient himself, a nurse or simply a third person, directs a jet of ophthalmic solution onto the eyeball by simple manual pressure on a flexible bottle.
Pour le bain de l'œil, il remplit de solution ophtalmique un dispositif généralement désigné par le terme « œillère » et il maintient durant le temps nécessaire ce dispositif contre le contour du globe oculaire.For the bath of the eye, it fills with ophthalmic solution a device generally designated by the term "eyecup" and it maintains during the necessary time this device against the contour of the eyeball.
Ces façons de procéder présentent de nombreux inconvénients, à savoir notammentThese procedures have numerous drawbacks, namely in particular
• la difficulté d'orientation du jet et, notamment en auto-traitement dans le cas des lavages oculaires, le risque de lésion de la cornée par l'embout du flacon non adapté car non prévu pour entrer en contact avec l'œil,The difficulty of orienting the jet and, in particular in self-treatment in the case of eye washes, the risk of lesion of the cornea by the end of the bottle which is not suitable because it is not intended to come into contact with the eye,
• le caractère fastidieux, dans le cas du bain de l'œil, de la succession des opérations comprenant le remplissage de l'œillère et la nécessité pour le patient de pencher tout d'abord la tête vers l'avant pour l'application de l'œillère contre le contour du globe oculaire, puis de la relever et de l'incliner vers l'arrière pour amener et maintenir la solution ophtalmique au contact de l'œil,• the tedious nature, in the case of the eye bath, of the succession of operations including filling the eyecup and the need for the patient to first tilt the head forward for the application of the eyecup against the outline of the eyeball, then lift it up and tilt it back to bring and keep the ophthalmic solution in contact with the eye,
• la rigidité des œillères en plastique rigide qui ne permettent pas d'assurer l'étanchéité avec le contour de l'œil.• the rigidity of the rigid plastic blinders which do not make it possible to ensure sealing with the contour of the eye.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de remédier à ces inconvénients et de mettre à la disposition du patient ou du soignant un dispositif facilitant l'ensemble des manipulations nécessaires dans les lavages et bains de l'œil.
Et la Société Demanderesse a le mérite d'avoir trouvé que ce but pouvait être atteint grâce à la mise au point d'un dispositif agencé sous la forme d'une cuvette présentant un bord souple de forme générale propre à épouser les contours de l'œil en reposant sur l'orbite, ce qui permet une ouverture facile des paupières lors du traitement, et comportant, sur la partie de la paroi de la cuvette destinée à être placée du côté de l'extérieur de l'œil par rapport au nez du patient, deux ouvertures dont l'une est adaptable sur l'extrémité de la canule de distribution d'un récipient sous pression rempli de solution ophtalmique destinée au lavage et au bain de l'œil et dont l'autre, dont l'emplacement sur la paroi de la cuvette est plus proche de l'œil que celui de la précédente, est destinée à permettre l'évacuation de la solution ophtalmique, notamment lors du lavage de l'œil.The object of the invention is, above all, to remedy these drawbacks and to make available to the patient or the caregiver a device which facilitates all the manipulations necessary in eye washes and baths. And the Applicant Company has the merit of having found that this goal could be achieved thanks to the development of a device arranged in the form of a bowl having a flexible edge of general shape suitable for conforming to the contours of the eye resting on the orbit, which allows easy opening of the eyelids during treatment, and comprising, on the part of the wall of the bowl intended to be placed on the side of the outside of the eye relative to the nose of the patient, two openings, one of which is adaptable on the end of the dispensing cannula of a pressure container filled with ophthalmic solution intended for washing and bathing the eye and the other of which, the location on the wall of the bowl is closer to the eye than that of the previous one, is intended to allow the evacuation of the ophthalmic solution, especially when washing the eye.
De préférence, la susdite première ouverture est placée le plus près possible du fond de la cuvette de façon à permettre un écoulement régulier le long de ce fond de la solution ophtalmique avant que celle-ci progresse en sens opposé le long de la surface de l'œil en direction de la deuxième ouverture lors d'un lavage de l'œil.Preferably, the aforesaid first opening is placed as close as possible to the bottom of the cuvette so as to allow a regular flow along this bottom of the ophthalmic solution before it progresses in opposite directions along the surface of the eye towards the second opening during an eye wash.
De préférence encore, l'emplacement de la deuxième ouverture est choisi proche de celui de la première pour permettre le confinement entre la surface du globe oculaire et les parois latérales de la cuvette d'un volume de solution ophtalmique suffisant pour assurer le bain de l'œil, le patient ayant seulement à maintenir la tête inclinée vers l'arrière tant pendant l'introduction de la solution ophtalmique que pendant le bain proprement dit.More preferably, the location of the second opening is chosen close to that of the first to allow confinement between the surface of the eyeball and the side walls of the bowl of a volume of ophthalmic solution sufficient to ensure the bath of the eye, the patient only having to keep the head tilted backwards both during the introduction of the ophthalmic solution and during the bath itself.
Avantageusement, le contour de la cuvette devant s'appliquer contre le pourtour de l'œil comporte, afin de lui conférer la souplesse nécessaire au confort du patient et à l'obtention d'une bonne étanchéité entre ledit bord et la peau du patient, un joint en un matériau souple, non irritant et inerte à l'égard des constituants des solutions ophtalmiques devant être mises en œuvre.Advantageously, the contour of the bowl which should be applied against the periphery of the eye comprises, in order to give it the flexibility necessary for the comfort of the patient and for obtaining a good seal between said edge and the skin of the patient, a seal made of a flexible material, non-irritating and inert with respect to the constituents of the ophthalmic solutions to be used.
L'invention sera encore mieux comprise à l'aide du complément de description qui suit et des dessins annexés, relatifs à un mode de réalisation avantageux.The invention will be understood more clearly with the aid of the additional description which follows and of the appended drawings, relating to an advantageous embodiment.
Les dessins en question montrent à la figure 1, en vue schématique en perspective, un dispositif conforme à l'invention adapté sur un récipient distributeur de solution ophtalmique, à la figure 2, le même dispositif en coupe schématique toujours en position sur le récipient distributeur,
à la figure 3, en vue en plan, le bord de la cuvette constitutive du dispositif. à la figure 4, en vue en perspective, le dispositif en position avec la cuvette appliquée sur l'œil et - à la figure 5, en coupe partielle schématique, la cuvette appliquée sur l'œil.The drawings in question show in FIG. 1, in schematic perspective view, a device according to the invention adapted on a container for dispensing an ophthalmic solution, in FIG. 2, the same device in schematic section still in position on the dispensing container. , in Figure 3, in plan view, the edge of the bowl constituting the device. in Figure 4, in perspective view, the device in position with the bowl applied to the eye and - in Figure 5, in schematic partial section, the bowl applied to the eye.
Se proposant, par conséquent, de constituer le dispositif conforme à l'invention, on s'y prend comme suit ou de façon équivalente.Proposing, therefore, to constitute the device according to the invention, it is done as follows or in an equivalent manner.
On établit tout d'abord la cuvette 1 constitutive du dispositif conforme à l'invention de telle sorte que son bord 2 présente un contour en forme de baignoire, vu en plan, d'axes x^ et yxy2 comme montré figure 3, la dimension longitudinale du bord 2 selon l'axe xτx2 étant généralement de l'ordre de 4 à 6 cm et la dimension transversale dudit bord selon l'axe yαy2 de l'ordre de 3 à 5 cm, - soit incurvé comme montré figure 2 pour pouvoir épouser la forme du visage du patient au niveau du contour de l'œil, le rayon de courbure des deux parties du bord qui se trouvent dans des plans parallèles à l'axe xxx2 étant déterminé en conséquence.First of all, the bowl 1 constituting the device according to the invention is established so that its edge 2 has a bath-shaped outline, seen in plan, of axes x ^ and y x y 2 as shown in FIG. 3 , the longitudinal dimension of edge 2 along the axis x τ x 2 generally being of the order of 4 to 6 cm and the transverse dimension of said edge along the axis y α y 2 of the order of 3 to 5 cm, - either curved as shown in Figure 2 to be able to match the shape of the patient's face at the level of the eye contour, the radius of curvature of the two parts of the edge which are in planes parallel to the axis x x x 2 being determined accordingly.
La forme de la paroi, désignée globalement par 3, de la cuvette 1 est avantageusement choisie proche de celle qui résulte de la vue en coupe de la figure 2 ; elle comporte une partie sensiblement pleine 3a du côté de la cuvette destinée à être située à l'extérieur de l'œil par rapport au nez du patient et une partie 3b constituant le fond de la cuvette, cette partie 3b étant légèrement galbée en direction du nez du patient lorsque le dispositif est placé sur l'œil. Toujours comme visible figure 2, la partie 3a de la paroi 3 comporte une ouverture 4 située à proximité de la partie 3b et, légèrement plus proche du bord 2, une ouverture 5.The shape of the wall, generally designated by 3, of the bowl 1 is advantageously chosen to be close to that which results from the sectional view of FIG. 2; it comprises a substantially full part 3a on the side of the bowl intended to be located outside the eye relative to the patient's nose and a part 3b constituting the bottom of the bowl, this part 3b being slightly curved in the direction of the patient's nose when the device is placed over the eye. Still as can be seen in FIG. 2, the part 3a of the wall 3 has an opening 4 located near the part 3b and, slightly closer to the edge 2, an opening 5.
Les ouvertures 4 et 5 sont situées du même côté de la cuvette à savoir celui qui est placé à l'extérieur par rapport à l'œil. L'ouverture 4 est agencée de façon telle qu'elle puisse s'adapter de toute manière appropriée sur la canule 6 d'un récipient distributeur de solution ophtalmique sous pression désigné globalement en 7 et l'ouverture 5 permet l'évacuation de la solution ophtalmique hors de la cuvette notamment en continu lors d'un lavage de l'œil.
L'ouverture 5 est suffisamment éloignée du bord 2 pour permettre de maintenir un volume suffisant de liquide ophtalmique à l'intérieur de la cuvette dans le cas d'un bain de l'œil.The openings 4 and 5 are located on the same side of the bowl, namely the one which is placed outside relative to the eye. The opening 4 is arranged in such a way that it can be adapted in any suitable manner to the cannula 6 of a container for dispensing an ophthalmic solution under pressure generally designated at 7 and the opening 5 allows the evacuation of the solution. ophthalmic out of the bowl, especially continuously during an eye wash. The opening 5 is far enough from the edge 2 to allow to maintain a sufficient volume of ophthalmic liquid inside the bowl in the case of an eye bath.
Le matériau retenu pour la constitution de la cuvette doit être agréé du point de vue pharmacologique.The material retained for the constitution of the bowl must be approved from a pharmacological point of view.
Il est possible d'avoir recours par exemple à l'un des matériaux du groupe comprenant le polyéthylène, le polypropylène, le polychlorure de vinyle, le polyéthylène téréphtalate, le téflon, le polyméthylpentène, le polystyrène, le verre, la céramique, la porcelaine, les fibres de verre et les alliages métalliques. Comme visible sur les figures 1 et 2, on fait comporter au bord 2 un jointIt is possible to use, for example, one of the materials in the group comprising polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, teflon, polymethylpentene, polystyrene, glass, ceramics, porcelain. , glass fibers and metal alloys. As visible in FIGS. 1 and 2, a joint is made to have at the edge 2
8 en matériau souple répondant aux critères exposés plus haut et pouvant être choisi dans le groupe comprenant les silicones et les élastomères tels que le caoutchouc.8 made of flexible material meeting the criteria set out above and which can be chosen from the group comprising silicones and elastomers such as rubber.
Lorsque l'ensemble représenté à la figure 1 est appliqué par le joint 8 sur le contour de l'œil d'un patient en vue d'un lavage, la trajectoire du liquide ophtalmique est celle matérialisée par les flèches F ; les flèches montrent que le liquide se déplace depuis l'ouverture 4, le long de la partie 3b de la paroi 3, puis le long de la surface du globe oculaire en direction de l'ouverture 5 par laquelle il sort. C'est grâce à la disposition du même côté de la cuvette - - celui qui est placé à l'extérieur par rapport à l'œil lorsque la cuvette est en place - - des ouvertures d'alimentation en liquide de lavage et l'évacuation du même liquide qu'il est possible d'obtenir une élimination vraiment efficace des sécrétions qui s'accumulent dans le coin de l'œil proche du nez. Outre le dispositif proprement dit conforme à l'invention et dont il vient d'être question, l'invention vise un kit comprenant ce dispositif adapté, au moment de la fabrication, de façon éventuellement amovible, à un récipient 7 de distribution de liquide ophtalmique sous pression, notamment montre montré figure 1. En suite de quoi et quel que soit le mode de réalisation adapté, on dispose ainsi d'un dispositif pour le lavage et les bains de l'œil répondant mieux que les solutions antérieurement proposées aux divers desiderata de la pratique.
When the assembly represented in FIG. 1 is applied by the seal 8 to the contour of the eye of a patient with a view to washing, the path of the ophthalmic liquid is that shown by the arrows F; the arrows show that the liquid moves from the opening 4, along the part 3b of the wall 3, then along the surface of the eyeball in the direction of the opening 5 through which it leaves. It is thanks to the arrangement of the same side of the bowl - - the one which is placed outside with respect to the eye when the bowl is in place - - openings for supplying washing liquid and evacuation of the same liquid that it is possible to obtain a really effective elimination of the secretions which accumulate in the corner of the eye close to the nose. In addition to the device proper according to the invention and which has just been discussed, the invention relates to a kit comprising this device adapted, at the time of manufacture, optionally removable, to a container 7 for dispensing ophthalmic liquid under pressure, in particular as shown in FIG. 1. Following what and whatever the adapted embodiment, there is thus a device for washing and bathing the eye which responds better than the solutions previously proposed to the various desiderata of practice.
