Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for local anesthesia and, more specifically, to an apparatus and a method for local anesthesia, which precisely indicate an anesthesia region and enable injection to be administered around the anesthesia region through a plurality of anesthesia needles. According to the present invention, the fear and pain of a subject to be anesthetized can be reduced since the affected part of the subject to be anesthetized can be anesthetized by injecting a plurality of syringes all at once, and an injection can be precisely administered to a region at which an injection is to be administered since the affected part can be precisely indicated by a provided laser pointer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus for local anesthesia composed of:
A syringe fixing part wherein at least two fixing grooves spaced apart from each other on a hollow plate; A pointer fixing part attached on the syringe fixing part above and equipped with a pointer in order to indicate the target area through the empty space of the middle of the syringe fixing part; and At least two syringes that can be attached to and detached from the fixing grooves of the syringe fixing part.

2 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the circular grooves are connected in the radial direction of the syringe fixing part to form the fixing grooves of the syringe fixing part.

3 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 2 , wherein the position of the syringe mounted in the radial direction of the syringe fixing part can be changed on the fixing groove.

4 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the syringe fixing part is made of a disc-type member.

5 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer is either a laser pointer or a LED pointer.

6 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the pointer fixing part includes a mounting member that can be equipped on the outer side or the inner side of the syringe fixing part.

7 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 6 , wherein the pointer fixing part includes a hollow-type fixing member connected to the mounting member and having a center axis same to the empty space of the syringe fixing part.

8 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of a subject is the affected part of a subject to be anesthetized.

9 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the syringe is a tool to spray anesthetics by electrical signal or by pressure of the fluid.

10 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus additionally includes a supporting part that can be combined with the syringe fixing part or the pointer fixing part and can be fixed in the outer base in order to allow the movement of the syringe fixing part, the pointer fixing part, and the syringes in the possible range.

11 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 10 , wherein the supporting part contains a clip member for the attachment onto the outer base and a supporting member that is formed in between the syringe fixing part or the pointer fixing part and the clip member to connect them each other and can control the location of the syringe fixing part or the pointer fixing part.

12 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus additionally includes a pump control part that is connected to the syringe to spray anesthetics and can adjust the amount of the anesthetics.

13 . The apparatus for local anesthesia according to claim 12 , wherein the pump control part controls the flow rate in the range of 0.5˜7 ml/hr.
