Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a fecal diversion device for postoperative rectal cancer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rectal cancer is the most common malignant tumor occurring in the intestinal tract, spreading along the longitudinal direction of the intestinal canal or infiltrating the deep layer of the intestinal wall. In addition to metastasis through lymphatic vessels, blood flow and local invasion, it can also implant in the abdominal cavity or spread along the suture line and incision surface. Chronic enteritis patients, intestinal polyp patients, obese men and others are susceptible groups.

[0003] Anastomotic leakage is currently one of the most serious complications after anterior resection of rectal cancer, with an incidence of about 10%, and can lead to death in severe cases. After surgery on patients with rectal cancer, the wound needs to be protected to avoid feces contacting the anastomotic stoma as much as possible, especially in the case of low rectal postoperative protection. The current protection measure is to use a protective plate to adhere to the inner wall of the intestinal tract, so that the wound is shielded by the protective plate. However, this protection method requires the protective plate to adhere to the wound, and during the wound healing process, adhesion to the protective plate will occur, causing wound trauma when the protective plate is removed. In addition, since the wound is close to the anus, the patient also needs to install a defecation device, making it difficult to fix the protective plate, which can cause displacement and cannot effectively protect the wound.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The application discloses a kind of rectal cancer postoperative fecal diversion devices, including suture seat 1, suture seat 1 is fixedly provided with drainage tube 2, one end of drainage tube 2 is fixedly provided with sealing element 3, sealing element 3 is double-layer structure, gas pipe 4 is provided on sealing element 3, gas pipe 4 is used to be inhaled into gas in sealing element 3, and sealing element 3 fills in gas and expands, the free end of gas pipe 4 is fixedly connected with quick connector 5 after passing through suture seat 1, one-way valve is fixedly provided in quick connector 5, pressure regulator is also communicated and provided on gas pipe 4, and pressure regulator is used to automatically adjust the gas pressure in sealing element 3.

[0031] Specifically, the pressure regulator includes a housing 6, an observation window 10 is formed in the side wall of the housing 6, a piston 7 and a push plate 9 are slidably arranged in the housing 6, a spring 8 is arranged between the piston 7 and the push plate 9, a screw rod 12 is rotatably arranged on the push plate 9, an adjusting knob 13 is installed on the free end of the screw rod 12 which penetrates out of the side wall of the housing 6, a connecting pipe 11 is communicated and arranged on the side wall of the housing 6 on one side of the piston 7, and the free end of the connecting pipe 11 is communicated with the gas pipe 4. By such arrangement, the pressure of the gas in the sealing element 3 can be automatically adjusted, preventing the leakage of intestinal fluid and the damage to the intestinal mucosa due to the large intestinal peristalsis.

[0032] Specifically, the screw rod 12 and the side wall of the housing 6 are threadedly connected, and the position of the push plate 9 can be adjusted by such arrangement to adjust the pressure of the gas in the sealing element 3 and ensure the sealing performance.

[0033] Specifically, a control valve 15 is fixedly arranged on the quick connector 5, and the inflation and deflation can be controlled by such arrangement.

[0034] Specifically, a plurality of suture holes 14 are formed in the circumferential direction of the drainage tube 2 on the suture seat 1, and the device can be fixed by such arrangement to prevent movement.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing member 3 is trumpet-shaped after inflation, the drainage tube 2 is connected to the small-diameter end of the trumpet-shaped sealing member 3, which can effectively block and seal the intestinal tract, and can also guide the intestinal fluid and excrement in the intestinal tract into the drainage tube 2.

[0036] The working process of the embodiment: Before use, one end of the sealing member 3 installed in the device needs to be inserted into the intestinal tract from the anus of the human body, and then the device is fixed on the patient's body through the suture hole 14 on the suture seat 1, and the suture seat 1 is connected to the drainage bag outside the body to collect the intestinal fluid and excrement in the intestinal tract, and then the air pipe 4 is connected to the inflation equipment through the quick connector 5, and then the inflation equipment is started. After the inflation equipment is started, the air pipe 4 will inflate the sealing member 3, and the sealing member 3 will start to expand after being inflated, and the sealing ring 17 and the baffle 18 connected to the sealing member 3 will also expand, and the expanded sealing ring 17 will also be sealed with the intestinal wall to prevent intestinal fluid leakage, and the through hole 16 can guide the intestinal fluid blocked by the sealing ring 17 into the sealing member 3, so that the intestinal fluid is discharged from the drainage tube 2, and the baffle 18 can avoid the intestinal fluid flowing through the through hole 16 from flowing back. When the sealing member 3 is fully raised by the gas and the pressure gauge on the inflation equipment shows that the internal pressure of the device reaches the working pressure, the inflation equipment is turned off, then the control valve 15 is closed, and then the quick connector 5 is removed from the inflation equipment. Then the worker can rotate the knob and adjust the gas pressure in the sealing member 3 according to the patient's feedback to prevent the intestinal mucosa from being damaged due to excessive pressure of the sealing member 3 on the intestinal wall, and also to avoid the sealing member 3 separating from the intestinal wall when the intestine expands during peristalsis, so that the intestinal fluid flows into the wound and causes infection.

[0037] Because the peristalsis intensity of different patients' intestines is different, the gas pressure in the sealing member 3 needs to be adjusted according to the patient's feedback during actual use of the patient. Before the sealing member 3 is inflated, the worker needs to rotate the adjusting knob 13 first, and move the push plate 9, spring 8 and piston 7 to the left side of the middle Figure 4 When the piston 7 moves to the left side of the mark line position on the observation window 10 and stops, the spring 8 is in an elongated state at this time, and then the medical staff inflates the sealing member 3. After inflation, the gas pressure in the sealing member 3 increases and pushes the piston 7 to the right side of the middle Figure 4When the middle right side is moved, the spring 8 is compressed, and the staff can adjust the position of the push plate 9 through the adjusting knob 13 to change the pushing force of the spring 8 on the piston 7, so that the pressure gauge on the inflation device shows that the piston 7 is at the marked position in the middle of the observation window 10 when the pressure inside the sealing member 3 reaches the working pressure, and the medical staff can know the pressure of the gas inside the sealing member 3 through the relative position of the piston 7 and the mark on the observation window 10. During use, when the intestinal peristalsis expands, the pressure applied to the outside of the sealing member 3 decreases, at this time, the spring 8 pushes the piston 7 to move to the Figure 4 middle left side, so that the sealing member 3 can expand while the gastrointestinal tract expands, ensuring the sealing effect; when the intestinal peristalsis shrinks, the pressure applied to the outside of the sealing member 3 increases, if the size of the sealing member 3 remains unchanged at this time, the intestinal mucosa may be damaged due to excessive pressure, and when the pressure applied to the outside of the sealing member 3 increases after the pressure regulator is installed, part of the gas inside the sealing member 3 is reversely pressed into the pressure regulator through the trachea 4, so that the piston 7 moves to the Figure 4 middle right side, ensuring that the sealing member 3 can continuously block and seal the intestinal tract.

[0038] In the embodiment, the suture seat 1 and the drainage tube 2 are both hard silica gel tubes, the trachea 4 is a medical flexible tube with elasticity, the length of the drainage tube 2 is 100 mm, the outer diameter is 25 mm, the inner diameter is 20 mm, and the maximum outer diameter of the sealing member 3 after expansion is 35 mm.

[0039] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
