    2011
    Co-Authors: ปิยพัชร์ นลินทัศไนย
    Abstract:

    Introduction : Nasal foreign body in children are often present at Nangrong Hospital. Different techniques and equipments of removal are needed depending on the type of nasal foreign body. Objective : To study the result of penfill,equipment of Orthopedic department, which not previously described in the literature. For nasal foreign body removal in children. Methods :   retrospective chart review of nasal foreign body removal using "penfill" in children 0-12 yEars at Otolaryngology department at Nangrong hospital, Buriram province in a 12 month period. Result : Elevent patients were identified over a 1-yEar period. Mean age is 3 yEar 2 months- female 5 cases and male 6 cases. Success tall in first attempt to remove foreign body were 7 cases (63.63%) and success in second time were 4 cases (36.36%). No complication were recorded. Conclusion : Penfill is the new choice of successful and safty equipment for remove nasal foreign body in children at Nangrong Hospital. Key words :   Penfill, wire loop of an Ear Curette, Frazier suction tube

  • Lighted Ear Curette

    Abstract:

    The Ear canal is a sensitive and small part of the human body that is prone to accumulate cerumen or lodge foreign bodies. In order to clean the Ear canal or remove foreign bodies, three hands are required: one to brace the patient\u27s head, one to maneuver the Curette that is used to clean the Ear, and one to hold a light source in order to make the small, dark area visible. Therefore, a design is needed that can allow a doctor to safely clean an Ear with an instrument that only requires two hands. Furthermore, the design must have disposable Curette tip attachments in the form of both a scoop (used to clean the Ear) and tweezers (used to remove foreign bodies), while remaining affordable. To make this possible, a design was created that has both a tweezer and scoop disposable attachment that connect onto a reusable handle. A small lighted camera snaps onto the disposable Curettes a few centimeters from the end of the tip. When the Curette is inserted into the Ear, the camera displays a video of the inner Ear onto a screen, allowing the user complete visualization as they work, decreasing procedure time and increasing comfort. This report outlines the background, design strategies and results of the Ear Curette design created. The resulting product is a prototype created using a 3D printer to demonstrate how the Curette assembles and functions. Further development of this prototype and the creation of a complete manufacturing plan is necessary before it is ready to be used in a medical setting
