Head and neck protection device for non-head and non-neck radiotherapy and forming method of head and neck protection device

Abstract

The invention discloses a head and neck protection device for non-head and non-neck radiotherapy. The device comprises a vertical plate which is provided with a fixing assembly for fixing and protecting the head of a patient, wherein two mounting rotating rods are fixed to the outer wall of the vertical plate, a rotatable rotating transverse plate is mounted at the top of one mounting rotating rod, a vertical plate is fixed to the top of the rotating transverse plate, a hole is formed in the outer wall of the vertical plate, a sliding rod capable of sliding and limiting is mounted in the hole, and a mouth biting plate is fixed to the end, close to the vertical plate, of the sliding rod. Through cooperation of the structures, radiotherapy is performed in the oral cavity of a patient, meanwhile, the cheek of the patient is massaged through a massage assembly, muscles of the patient are relaxed, the discomfort of the patient is reduced, besides, the situation that salivary secretion is accelerated due to cheek soreness can be further reduced, besides, through cooperation of a liquid suction assembly, certain cleanliness can be kept in the oral cavity of the patient, influence on radiotherapy is reduced, and the treatment effect is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radiotherapy, in particular to a head and neck protection device for non-head and neck radiotherapy and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy (referred to as radiotherapy) is a local treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors. Radiation includes α, β, γ rays produced by radioactive isotopes and x-rays, electron beams, proton beams and other particle beams produced by various x-ray therapy machines or accelerators. About 70% of cancer patients need radiotherapy in the course of cancer treatment, and about 40% of cancers can be cured with radiotherapy. The role and status of radiotherapy in tumor treatment has become increasingly prominent, and it has become one of the main means of treating malignant tumors. [0003] Common malignant tumors include oral cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, etc. When radiotherapy is used for t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Common malignant tumors include oral cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, etc. When radiotherapy is used for treatment, the sitting posture is the best radiotherapy position. During radiotherapy, it is usually necessary to fix the patient's head and neck first, and then pass The mouthpiece keeps the mouth open to reduce oral and tongue movements for radiotherapy. However, due to the mouthpiece in the mouth, the patient's mouth will automatically secrete saliva, and if the saliva is not processed , will greatly affect the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy
