Abstract
The present invention relates to a fixing piece firing device for a dental membrane, the device being capable of firing the fixing piece to fix the dental membrane that covers a graft site after bone graft during implant surgery, and of facilitating access into an oral cavity due to a tip part with a curved front end, thus enabling a quick and easy procedure without using a typical dental drill.
Claims3
A fixing piece firing device for a dental membrane, the device comprising:
- a linear rod-shaped main body (10) including a tip part (11) and a handle part (12) respectively provided at a front side and a rear side thereof, and a installation space (13) formed inside the main body in a longitudinal direction thereof;
- a trigger button (20) provided at a junction between the tip part (11) and the handle part (12) so as to be elastically moved outward, and including a through hole (21) centrally formed therein so as to communicate with the installation space (13) such that the through hole (21) and the installation space (13) selectively communicate with each other depending on whether a pressing operation is performed;
- a hammer (30) provided in the installation space (13) of the handle part (12) so as to be elastically moved forward, and having a front end located in the through hole (21) communicating with the installation space (13) and a rear end protruding outward of the handle part (12) such that when the rear end is pulled, the front end is moved out of the through hole (21) and supported on a rear surface of the trigger button (20) moved elastically outward, causing the hammer to be moved to a loading position, and when the trigger button (20) moved outward is pressed, the through hole is allowed to communicate with the installation space (13) again, causing the hammer to be elastically moved forward to a firing position;
- and
- a core (40) provided in the installation space (13) of the tip part (11), and having a rear end fixedly connected to a front portion of the hammer (30) such that the core is operated in conjunction with loading and firing operations of the hammer (30), and a front end coming into close contact with a head of a fixing piece (50) located inside the front end of the tip part (11) after the loading operation such that the core pushes the fixing piece (50) toward the dental membrane upon the firing operation,
- wherein a front portion of the tip part (11) is formed in a shape curved in one direction so as to easily access an oral cavity and
- wherein a front portion of the core (40) is made of a flexible coil (41) such that the core is movable inside the tip part (11) having a curved shape.
