Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an anal occluder. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the rising incidence of diseases such as colorectal cancer, colostomy is the most common surgical procedure performed. After the surgery, because the area around the anus and rectum has not fully recovered, the patient cannot perceive the contents of the intestines or consciously control the discharge of the contents. Feces in the intestines will be discharged from the stoma at any time, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life.

[0003] The technical problem solved by the "anal occlusion device" proposed in publication number "CN204218972U" is that "the balloon's soft structure, after expansion, will not affect the tissues and blood vessels at the anus."

[0004] The technical problem addressed by the "Visual Artificial Anal Occlusion Device" proposed in publication number "CN209847531U" is that "because patients cannot perceive the appropriate need to defecate, the actual time needed for defecation does not match the time when the occlusion device is removed, and repeated removal of the occlusion device not only affects the occlusion effect but is also unhygienic."

[0005] However, incontinence dermatitis is prone to occur in the perianal area of ​​patients, and the structure cannot be completely cleaned. Prolonged defecation can easily irritate the perianal skin, causing discomfort to patients. Therefore, this application provides an anal occluder to meet the needs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an anal plugging device that solves the problem of patients having difficulty defecating and the long-term irritation of the perianal skin by feces.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An anal plug includes a first airbag ring and a second airbag ring structure, with a connecting pipe fixedly connected between the first airbag ring and the second airbag ring structure. An inflation structure is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first airbag ring, and a third airbag ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe. The inflation structure is interconnected with the interior of the first airbag ring, the interior of the inflation structure is interconnected with the interior of the third airbag ring, and the interior of the inflation structure is interconnected with the interior of the second airbag ring structure.

[0009] Preferably, the inflation structure includes an inflation pipe, an oil injection pipe is fixedly connected inside the inflation pipe, a sealing plug is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inflation pipe and the oil injection pipe, a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inflation pipe, the inflation pipe and the first branch pipe are internally interconnected, the inflation pipe and the second branch pipe are internally interconnected, a locking rope is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first branch pipe, the first branch pipe is located inside the third airbag ring, and the second branch pipe is located inside the first airbag ring.

[0010] Preferably, the second airbag ring structure includes a compression bag block, the compression bag block having a plurality of permeation holes, a sponge block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the compression bag block, an airbag block being disposed on the inner side of the sponge block, an air injection pipe being located inside the airbag block, an oil injection pipe being located inside the compression bag block, and an oil injection pipe being located between the compression bag block and the airbag block.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the first airbag ring is 3 cm, and the size of the first airbag ring and the second airbag ring are equal.

[0012] Preferably, the docking pipe is made of silicone, and the docking pipe has an internal cavity through which the gas injection pipe passes.

[0013] Preferably, the docking pipe itself can rotate 180°, and the interval length between the first airbag ring and the second airbag ring structure is 0.5cm when in use.

[0014] Preferably, the inflation structure is detachably installed from the external inflation equipment, and the inflation structure is detachably installed from the external oil injection equipment.

[0015] Preferably, the first airbag ring and the second airbag ring are made of nylon.

[0016] Preferably, the first pipe is connected or blocked by tightening the locking rope.

[0017] Preferably, the airbag block is inflated by air injection through the air injection pipe, and the sponge block is compressed and tightened by the expansion of the airbag block. The sponge block is used to absorb oil, and the sponge block discharges the oil through the permeation hole by compression.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The above-mentioned scheme, through its designed structure, can help patients defecate at a specified time, avoiding prolonged irritation of the perianal skin by feces, and allowing patients to recover better.

[0020] The inflation structure allows for the simultaneous inflation of the first and second airbag rings, while lubricating oil is injected into the second airbag ring. The compression of the airbag blocks forces the lubricating oil through the permeation holes, exposing it on the outer surface of the compression block. This makes it easier for the patient to insert the compression block into their anus, preventing pain during insertion.

[0021] With its inflatable structure, after the patient inserts the second airbag ring into the anus, gas is injected into the inflation tube, the tightening rope is released, and the gas flows through the first tube to inflate the third airbag ring. The locking rope is then tightened again to prevent gas leakage from the third airbag ring, which is then fixed against the inner wall of the anus. When the patient needs to defecate, the locking rope is released to expel the gas, and the connecting tube is rotated to allow the patient to defecate normally. This design ensures better fixation at the anus. Attached Figure Description

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an anal plug, including a first airbag ring 3 and a second airbag ring structure 4. A docking pipe 5 is fixedly connected between the first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4. An inflation structure 1 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first airbag ring 3. A third airbag ring 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the docking pipe 5. The inflation structure 1 and the interior of the first airbag ring 3 are interconnected. The interiors of the inflation structure 1 and the third airbag ring 2 are interconnected. The interiors of the inflation structure 1 and the second airbag ring structure 4 are interconnected.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the inflation structure 1 includes an inflation pipe 11, an oil injection pipe 13 is fixedly connected inside the inflation pipe 11, a sealing plug 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inflation pipe 11 and the oil injection pipe 13, a first branch pipe 15 and a second branch pipe 16 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inflation pipe 11, the inflation pipe 11 and the first branch pipe 15 are internally interconnected, the inflation pipe 11 and the second branch pipe 16 are internally interconnected, a locking rope 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first branch pipe 15, the first branch pipe 15 is located inside the third airbag ring 2, and the second branch pipe 16 is located inside the first airbag ring 3.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the second airbag ring structure 4 includes a compression bag block 43, which has several permeation holes 44. A sponge block 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the compression bag block 43. An airbag block 41 is provided on the inner side of the sponge block 42. An air injection pipe 11 is located inside the airbag block 41, and an oil injection pipe 13 is located inside the compression bag block 43. The oil injection pipe 13 is located between the compression bag block 43 and the airbag block 41.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the diameter of the first airbag ring 3 is 3cm. The first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4 are the same size. The material of the connecting pipe 5 is silicone. The interior of the connecting pipe 5 has a cavity through which the air injection pipe 11 passes. The connecting pipe 5 can rotate 180°. The interval between the first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4 is 0.5cm. The inflation structure 1 and the external inflation device are detachable and installable. The inflation structure 1 and the external oil injection device are detachable and installable. The materials of the first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4 are nylon. The first branch pipe 15 is connected or blocked by the contraction of the locking rope 14. The airbag block 41 is inflated by the air injection pipe 11. The sponge block 42 is compressed and tightened by the expansion of the airbag block 41. The sponge block 42 is used to absorb oil. The sponge block 42 discharges oil through the permeation hole 44 by compression.

[0040] After inserting the second airbag ring structure 4 into the patient's anus, the inflation structure 1 is connected to an external inflation device to inflate it, causing the first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4 to expand. This allows the second airbag ring structure 4 to better fit the patient's anus. Through the inflation structure 1, lubricating oil is injected into the second airbag ring structure 4 while inflating the first airbag ring 3 and the second airbag ring structure 4. The lubricating oil is then forced out through the permeation hole 44 by the compression of the airbag block 41, protruding onto the outer surface of the compression block 43. This makes inserting the compression block 43 into the patient's anus smoother and prevents pain during insertion. After the patient inserts the second airbag ring structure 4 into the anus, gas is injected into the air injection pipe 11, the locking rope 14 is released, and the gas passes through the first branch pipe 15 to open the third airbag ring 2. Then the locking rope 14 is tightened again to prevent the gas inside the third airbag ring 2 from leaking out, and the third airbag ring 2 is fixed against the inner wall of the anus. When the patient needs to defecate, the locking rope 14 is released to release the gas, and the connecting pipe 5 is rotated to allow the patient to defecate normally. This device is better fixed at the anus. This device is for single use only. After the patient defecates once, the device needs to be placed at the patient's anus again to seal it.

[0041] The technical solution provided by this invention, through its inflatable structure, allows for the simultaneous inflation of the first and second airbag rings, while simultaneously injecting lubricating oil into the second airbag ring structure. The lubricating oil is then forced out through the permeation holes by the compression of the airbag block, protruding onto the outer surface of the compression block. This makes insertion of the compression block into the anus smoother and prevents pain. After the patient inserts the second airbag ring structure into the anus, gas is injected into the inflation tube, the locking rope is released, and the gas flows through the first tube to expand the third airbag ring. The locking rope is then tightened again to prevent gas leakage from the third airbag ring, securing it against the inner wall of the anus. When the patient needs to defecate, the locking rope is released to expel the gas, and the connecting tube is rotated to allow normal defecation. This device is designed for single use; after each defecation, it needs to be placed back into the anus for sealing.

[0042] This invention encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this invention.
