Embodiment 1

[0083] Embodiment 1: The connecting structure on the connecting end of the hard palate is the implantable soft palate support of the present invention with a hole structure

[0084] Select a medical-grade titanium metal plate that can be implanted in the human body for a long time, and manufacture the product of the present invention according to the general processing technology of titanium metal products, and then the implantable soft palate support of the present invention can be obtained. Refer to Figure 8 to Figure 11 . Adopt this through-hole type connecting structure 11, can use fastener 116 (such as titanium bone nail, titanium rivet, titanium nut and bolt structure, titanium metal male and female snap fit fastening structure etc. various fasteners) The hard palate connection end 1 of the implantable soft palate support body of the present invention is firmly fixed on the hard palate 101 . There can be multiple through holes for positioning on the hard palate connect...

Embodiment 2

[0090] Embodiment 2: The connecting structure on the connecting end of the hard palate is the implantable soft palate support body of the present invention with a button structure

[0091]In this embodiment, the connecting structure 11 on the connecting end of the hard palate adopts a button structure. The hard palate connecting end 1 is designed as a buckle structure. When in use, a through hole is drilled on the hard palate 101, and the locking buckle 11 passes through the through hole drilled on the hard palate and buckles the hard palate 101 to form a fixed structure. Bending the supporting body 2 with force to produce plastic deformation to adjust the bending radian of the supporting body 2 , so as to control and adjust the lifting degree of the soft palate 102 . The manufacturing material of this embodiment can be made of titanium metal, especially titanium-nickel shape memory alloy (Nitinol alloy). Use the shape memory properties of shape memory alloys (usually choose ...

Embodiment 3

[0092] Embodiment 3: Combined implantable soft palate support body of the present invention

[0093] In this embodiment, the hard palate connection end 1 and the support body 2 are combined structures. The hard palate connection end 1 and a part of the support body 2 are first made of medical titanium alloy, then the memory alloy wire braid woven with titanium-nickel shape memory alloy wire and subjected to heat treatment is used as the tail of the support body 2, and finally the memory alloy wire braid The head end of the wire is riveted on the hard palate connecting end 1 or the front part of the support body 2 made of titanium alloy. The product of this embodiment ensures the support and lifting force of the soft palate, and the silk braid at the tail of the support body 2 has a good Suppleness and elasticity are convenient to adapt to the swing requirement of the tail of the support body 2 following the tail end 104 of the soft palate. In addition, the braided body at the...

Abstract

The invention provides an implanted soft palate support and an implantation method. The implanted soft palate support is a flat implant made of a material which can be implanted into human body for a long and medium term, and consists of a hard palate connecting end and a support. A connection structure connected with the hard palate is provided on the hard palate connecting end; the support is a flat implant which can be inserted into the soft palate; and the hard palate connecting end is connected on the support. The implanted soft palate support can effectively support a dented soft palate and can relieve the upper airway obstruction condition so as to realize the purpose of treating OSAHS and snoring. The clinical application proves that the method and the implanted support have the advantages of small wound, fast recovery, quick effect and reliable efficacy, thus realizing the purpose of minimally invasive treatment. In particular, for a patient who is implanted with the implanted soft palate support, the supporting degree of the implanted soft palate support is regulated within a certain range by regulating the shape and the curvature of the implanted soft palate support under the condition of induced sleep and the monitoring of an electronic laryngoscope to achieve the best treatment effect, and the implanted soft palate support is rather popular with patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an implantable soft palate support body, in particular to an implantable soft palate support body for treating adult obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and an implantation method. Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea / hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-disordered breathing disorder characterized by snoring and apnea, which is caused by the collapse and blockage of the upper airway during sleep. disease. Even according to the lowest diagnostic standard, the prevalence of OSAHS is about 4% in adult males and about 2% in females, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients. [0003] For the pathogenesis of OSAHS, it is generally believed that the main reason is soft tissue collapse and obstruction due to the relaxation of the pharyngeal expander muscles that maintain the upper airway open during sleep, and the obstruction planes are mostly located in the soft palate, tonsils, and ton...
