Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surgical instrument technology, and in particular to an inflatable vaginal plug. Background Technology

[0002] In surgeries such as total hysterectomy, pneumoperitoneum is usually required to provide sufficient space for surgical procedures. Pneumoperitoneum is achieved by injecting carbon dioxide gas into the abdominal cavity to inflate it. This requires sealing the vagina. If the vaginal opening is not sealed, carbon dioxide gas may leak through the vagina, leading to unstable intra-abdominal pressure. Surgeons can then use laparoscopic instruments, such as ultrasonic scalpels and dissecting forceps, flexibly within the appropriate space to perform procedures such as hysterectomy, tissue dissection, and vascular ligation. Continuous and stable pneumoperitoneum pressure makes the surgical process smoother.

[0003] In routine surgeries, it has been found that there are many inconveniences in the current operation of vaginal occlusion. The occluder is usually made by hand, which involves taking a glove, stuffing a piece of gauze inside to make a ball-shaped object, and then inserting it into the vagina to achieve occlusion. This manual method is not only inefficient, but also cumbersome and inconvenient to use. The occlusion effect is poor, which brings certain troubles to the surgical operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as inconvenient operation and poor sealing effect, by proposing an inflatable vaginal plug.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an inflatable vaginal plug, comprising a plug body and an air supply device. The plug body is made of silicone. The air supply device is disposed on the surface of the plug body and includes a main pipe fixedly connected to the surface of the plug body. The plug body has an internal cavity, and the main pipe communicates with the inner wall of the cavity. A three-way valve is provided on one side of the main pipe, and a one-way valve is installed on the surface of the three-way valve. The output end of the one-way valve is connected to the three-way valve. A second one-way valve is installed between the main pipe and the tee pipe. The input and output ends of the second one-way valve are connected to the tee pipe and the main pipe, respectively. An air pumping component is installed on the surface of the tee pipe. A filter component is installed at the input end of the first one-way valve. An exhaust component is installed on the surface of the main pipe. Through the above components, the air pumping component, in conjunction with the tee pipe and the first and second one-way valves, realizes the operation of air intake and air pumping. The first one-way valve can realize air intake, and the second one-way valve can discharge the gas through the main pipe into the inner cavity of the plug ball, thereby causing the plug ball to expand and realize the sealing operation.

[0006] Preferably, the tee is arranged in a Y-shape.

[0007] Preferably, the air-inflating assembly includes a tube located on one side of the three-way pipe, with an air outlet fixedly connected to one end of the tube. The air outlet is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the three-way pipe, and a sealing element is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube. A push rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing element. Through the above components, during use, the push rod drives the sealing element to move back and forth in the tube, thereby realizing the operation of air intake and air inflation.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the tube is provided with a scale. Through the above-mentioned components, during the suction and inflation process, the amount of air injected each time can be known through the scale, so that medical staff can know how much air has been injected.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a connecting pipe that is threadedly connected to the input end of the one-way valve. A filter element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe. Through the above components, when the one-way valve inputs gas into the three-way pipe, the gas can pass through the filter element in the connecting pipe to filter the gas, reducing the problem of blockage affecting use.

[0010] Preferably, the exhaust assembly includes a fixed pipe and an exhaust pipe fixed to the main pipe. The fixed pipe and the exhaust pipe are connected to the main pipe. A screw is threaded onto the inner wall of the fixed pipe. A knob and a pressure ring are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the screw, respectively. A groove is formed on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe. With the above components, when venting, simply rotate the knob and the screw. The screw drives the pressure ring to move out of the groove in the exhaust pipe, losing its sealing effect, and the exhaust pipe can then vent.

[0011] Preferably, a gasket is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure ring. Through the above-mentioned components, the pressure ring can be squeezed into the groove on the surface of the exhaust pipe by the gasket, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the main tube is provided with a second scale. Through the aforementioned component, the second scale on the main tube is easy to observe to know how deep the plug ball is inserted.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting up an air supply device, the air pumping component, together with a three-way pipe, one-way valve one, one-way valve two, and main pipe, can be used to pump air into the cavity of the plug ball, allowing the plug ball to expand and seal. The plug ball is made of silicone material, which is soft and has good biocompatibility, and can better adapt to the physiological structure of the vagina, reducing damage to vaginal tissues. There is no need to spend time making a ball-shaped sealing material with gloves and gauze, which greatly improves the efficiency of surgical preparation and the sealing effect.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting up an air-inflating component, the tube, scale, air outlet, push rod, and sealing component work together to perform air extraction and air release operations. At the same time, medical staff can accurately know the inflation volume during the inflation process. The appropriate inflation volume can ensure that the plug tightly seals the vagina, maintains stable pneumoperitoneum pressure, and reduces unnecessary pressure and damage to the vagina caused by over-inflation.

[0016] 3. By setting up an exhaust assembly, the exhaust can be controlled by turning the knob to drive the screw and pressure ring. During normal use, the pressure ring, with the assistance of the gasket, tightly squeezes the groove of the exhaust pipe to ensure the sealing of the plug ball and reduce gas leakage from affecting the operation. When exhaust is required, the operation is simple and convenient.

[0017] 4. By setting up a filter component, these impurities can be reduced from entering the inner cavity of the plug sphere, thus reducing clogging problems caused by impurity accumulation. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an inflatable vaginal plug, including a plug body 1 and an air supply device 2. The plug body 1 is made of silicone, and the air supply device 2 is disposed on the surface of the plug body 1.

[0026] Specifically, the air supply device 2 includes a main pipe 27, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the plug ball 1. The plug ball 1 has a cavity 29 inside, and the main pipe 27 is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 29. A three-way pipe 22 is provided on one side of the main pipe 27. A one-way valve 23 is installed on the surface of the three-way pipe 22. The output end of the one-way valve 23 is connected to the three-way pipe 22. A two-way valve 24 is provided between the three-way pipe 22 and the main pipe 27. The input end and output end of the one-way valve 24 are connected to the three-way pipe 22 and the main pipe 27, respectively. An air pumping component 21 is provided on the surface of the three-way pipe 22. A filter component 26 is provided at the input end of the one-way valve 23. An exhaust component 25 is provided on the surface of the main pipe 27.

[0027] In this embodiment: the air pumping assembly 21, together with the three-way pipe 22 and the one-way valve 23 and the one-way valve 24, realizes the operation of air intake and air pumping. The one-way valve 23 can realize air intake, and the one-way valve 24 can discharge gas into the inner cavity of the plug ball 1 through the main pipe 27, thereby causing the plug ball 1 to expand and realize the sealing operation.

[0028] Specifically, the tee pipe 22 is arranged in a Y shape.

[0029] Specifically, the air pump assembly 21 includes a tube 211 located on one side of the three-way pipe 22. One end of the tube 211 is fixedly connected to an air outlet 213, which is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the three-way pipe 22. A sealing element 215 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube 211, and a push rod 214 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing element 215.

[0030] In this embodiment: during use, the push rod 214 drives the sealing element 215 to move back and forth in the tube 211 to realize the operation of air intake and air pumping.

[0031] Specifically, the surface of the tube 211 is provided with a scale 212. During the suction and inflation process, the amount of air injected each time can be known through the scale, so that medical staff can know how much air has been injected.

[0032] Specifically, the filter assembly 26 includes a connecting pipe 261, which is threadedly connected to the input end of the one-way valve 23, and a filter element 262 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 261.

[0033] In this embodiment: when the one-way valve 23 inputs gas into the three-way pipe 22, the gas can be filtered through the filter element 262 in the connecting pipe 261, reducing the problem of blockage affecting use.

[0034] Specifically, the exhaust assembly 25 includes a fixed pipe 251 and an exhaust pipe 254 fixed on the main pipe 27. The fixed pipe 251 and the exhaust pipe 254 are connected to the main pipe 27. The inner wall of the fixed pipe 251 is threaded with a screw 252. The upper and lower ends of the screw 252 are respectively fixedly connected with a knob 253 and a pressure ring 255. The inner wall of the exhaust pipe 254 is provided with a groove 257.

[0035] In this embodiment: when venting, simply rotate the knob 253 and the screw 252. The screw 252 drives the pressure ring 255 to move out of the groove 257 in the exhaust pipe 254, thus losing the sealing effect, and the exhaust pipe 254 can then vent.

[0036] Specifically, a gasket 256 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure ring 255. The pressure ring 255 can be pressed into the groove 257 on the surface of the exhaust pipe 254 by the gasket 256 to improve the sealing effect.

[0037] Specifically, the surface of the main tube 27 is provided with a scale 28, which makes it easy to observe how deep the insert ball 1 is inserted.

[0038] Working principle: During occlusion, the silicone plug ball 1 is coated with oil and then inserted into the patient's vagina. The insertion depth is observed through the scale 28 on the main pipe 27. After insertion to the designated position, the push rod 214 and the sealing element 215 can be pushed back and forth in the tube 211 to achieve the functions of suction and inflation. During suction, the one-way valve 23 is activated, and air is drawn in at the input end of the one-way valve 23. After passing through the filter element 262 in the connecting pipe 261, impurities are initially filtered. The filtered air first enters the three-way pipe 22 and then enters the tube 211. Subsequently, when the tube 211 cooperates with the air outlet 213 to exhaust air, the air can be discharged through the one-way valve 24. The gas is introduced into the inner cavity of the plug ball 1 through the main pipe 27, causing the plug ball 1 to expand and achieve a sealing effect. During the inflation process, the amount of gas injected each time can be clearly seen by observing the scale 212 on the surface of the tube 211, which helps medical staff know how much gas has been injected into the inner cavity of the plug ball 1. When it needs to be removed later, the knob 253 and the screw 252 can be turned. The screw 252 drives the pressure ring 255 and the gasket 256 to rotate, causing the pressure ring 255 and the gasket 256 to lose contact with the groove 257 on the surface of the exhaust pipe 254. Then the gas can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 254, and the plug ball 1 can be removed through the main pipe 27 for use.
