1 INTEGRATED MECHANICS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PECTUS EXCAVATUM. VACUUM DEVICE WITH VALVES AND LEAK-PROOF CONNECTIONS Technological Field 5 The invention describes non-surgical methods for treating pectus excavatum (shoemaker's chest). medical devices used for treatment, especially vacuum bell systems It relates to, more specifically, negative pressure generated by a manual pump. real-time monitoring, without requiring an external electronic power source or motor. 10 secure fastening, controlled release, and pressure losses in the system fully mechanical, featuring a special hose connector designed to prevent this. It is about a vacuum cleaner. State of the Art 15 In the known state of the technique, a vacuum bell is used in the treatment of pectus excavatum. The devices are basically divided into two main categories. In the first category, there is a hand pump and a vacuum cleaner. There are manual systems consisting of a bell. In these systems, vacuum is applied to the hose. 20 by manually tightening it from the outside with an external hose clamp (latch). It is preserved. Although some versions have a pressure gauge, the process of maintaining the vacuum... This requires external mechanical intervention. This leads to difficulty in use and over time... This can lead to leakage problems. Also, in these systems, the plastic hose... at simple snap-on connection points where it is attached to the vacuuming body cover, for use Loosening and air leaks may occur during this process. 25 The second category includes digital sensor and motorized systems. These advanced systems... The systems use a digital pressure sensor and a motor-driven pump to determine the target pressure. It solves the above problems by automatically adjusting and fixing them. However, these systems... Their high cost, dependence on an external electronic power source (battery, charger), and 30 They have disadvantages, such as requiring additional digital interfaces for use. 2 In conclusion, in the current state of the technology; on the one hand, an external hose clamp Manual systems are characterized by the difficulties of use that come with their application; other On the other hand, motorized systems that depend on an external power source and electronic controls. It is located. Purpose of the Invention "Vacuum cleaner with integrated mechanical valve and leak-proof connection for the treatment of pectus excavatum." The main purpose of the invention, called "The Device," is to provide practical solutions to manual systems in the current state of the art. 10 a fully mechanical, safe, efficient and efficient system that simultaneously eliminates the disadvantages. The goal is to develop a user-friendly medical device. One purpose of the invention is to allow the user to instantly monitor the negative pressure value being applied. The aim is to increase treatment safety by providing this opportunity. 15 Another purpose of the invention is to connect to an external terminal or similar clamping device. by eliminating the need for a vacuum, the vacuum created is automatic, reliable and mechanical. The aim is to ensure it is secured in place. Another purpose of the invention is to create a barrier at the point where the plastic hose connects to the vacuum body. a special, enhanced seal that prevents loosening and air leakage problems It provides a connection port.

Pressure Relief Button Detailed Description of the Invention "Vacuum cleaner with integrated mechanical valve and leak-proof connection for the treatment of pectus excavatum." The invention, called "The Device," is a vacuum apparatus used to apply a vacuum to the rib cage. The invention is a vacuum bulb (1) that enables the creation of negative pressure. a flexible plastic hose (2) that transmits the pressure, sealed with the chest wall making contact, having at least one vacuum suction body with an elastic gripping surface 25 a vacuum body with a separating ear (7) from the elastic gripping surface (6), one a vacuum body cover (3) and a vacuum body frame (5) vacuuming body and real-time monitoring of the vacuum in question and automatic basic such as a pressure-regulated backflow lock valve system (8) that ensures its fixation It has elements. 30 "Vacuum cleaner with integrated mechanical valve and leak-proof connection for the treatment of pectus excavatum." The invention, entitled "Device," replaces the use of external hose clamps in the known state of the art. 4 Pressure-regulated backflow lock valve system (8) integrated on plastic hose (2) It eliminates it thanks to this. "Vacuum cleaner with integrated mechanical valve and leak-proof connection for the treatment of pectus excavatum." The main distinguishing feature of the invention called "Device" is; 5 integrated on a plastic hose (2). It is a Pressure Regulated Backflow Locking Valve System (8). The details of this are shown in Figure 2. The valve system (8) offers a multifunctional structure on a single body. The system a pressure gauge showing the instantaneous negative pressure value inside the vacuum body. The indicator (8a) is located. Inside the system, air is drawn from the vacuum housing. allowing unidirectional flow towards the vacuum bulb (1), but vacuuming 10 The reverse flow from the bulb (1) to the vacuum body is automatically A backflow interlocking mechanism (8b) is included. The backflow interlocking mechanism in question (8b) is preferably a check valve type. The pressure relief button (8c) on it is for vacuum relief. It ensures controlled unloading. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, with the pressure-regulated backflow lock valve system (8) The vacuum bulb (1) is directly integrated into the main body of the valve system (8). a cylindrical one end positioned coaxially with a backflow locking mechanism (8b) It has a connection extension. The mouth of the elastic vacuum bulb (1) has a valve. 20 by fitting tightly onto this extension of the system (8) to ensure a leak-proof seal. It is mounted. Thanks to this direct mounting, the expansion of the vacuum bulb (1) The resulting suction power (vacuum) is transferred without loss to the backflow lock mechanism (8b) and Therefore, it is transferred to the vacuum chamber. The second distinctive feature of the invention is the vacuuming body cover (3) 25 shown in Figure 3. The vacuum housing cover on it is the hose connection socket (4). This vacuuming body cover hose connection socket (4), which adheres to the inner surface of the hose It has a stepped surface structure consisting of successive circular claws. This structural form Thanks to this, the plastic hose (2) is mechanically locked into the connection socket (4). and the system seal is improved by preventing the hose (2) from loosening and coming loose. 30 The operating principle of the device described in the invention involves the following steps: The vacuuming body The elastic gripping surface (6) centers the deformity on the user's chest It is placed in the cage. The user squeezes and releases the vacuum bulb (1) repeatedly. The vacuuming chamber removes the air inside. During this process, the user controls the valve system. The negative pressure generated is monitored instantaneously via the pressure gauge (8a) on (8). When the target negative pressure value intended for treatment is reached, the user He stops the pumping process manually by releasing the vacuum bulb (1). As soon as pumping stops, the backflow lock mechanism (8b) engages, releasing the air 5 It automatically prevents it from returning and stabilizes the achieved vacuum level. Treatment When completed, the user presses the pressure relief button (8c) on the valve system (8). By pressing it, the vacuum is released. Industrial Applicability of the Invention 10 This invention is precisely related to the industry of manufacturing medical devices and medical orthoses. It has a practical nature. The vacuum device that is the subject of the invention is a standard industrial vacuum device. It can be mass-produced using production methods. The invention relates to pectus excavatum. Health 15 by offering a practical area of ​​use for the treatment of patients with this condition It addresses a significant need in the sector and therefore has industrial applicability. It fully meets the criteria. 25
