Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a safe defecation aid after kidney transplantation. Background Technology

[0002] In the early stages after a kidney transplant, it is crucial to maintain regular bowel movements, ideally 1-2 soft stools per day. If constipation occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Avoid straining during bowel movements, as the transplanted kidney and surrounding tissues are still edematous in the early stages. Straining will significantly increase abdominal pressure, compressing the transplanted kidney and potentially causing it to rupture. In mild cases, this can result in kidney loss; in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, current technology lacks a device that can both provide real-time monitoring and display of abdominal pressure with alarms and assist patients in quickly dilating their anus to promote defecation. Consequently, patients after kidney transplantation are unable to accurately assess their abdominal pressure and intervene promptly during bowel movements. When defecation is difficult, involuntary straining during defecation significantly increases abdominal pressure, compressing the transplanted kidney and potentially causing kidney rupture, thus endangering patient safety. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a safe defecation aid after kidney transplantation, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology does not have an aid that can simultaneously realize real-time sensing and monitoring of abdominal pressure, provide alarm reminders, and provide auxiliary lubrication and negative pressure environment to promote defecation. This makes it easy for patients to exert excessive force during defecation, which will significantly increase abdominal pressure, compress the transplanted kidney, and even lead to kidney rupture, endangering the patient's safety.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A safe defecation aid after kidney transplantation includes a side-opening commode chair. An anal lubricant is fixedly installed on the right side of the commode chair. A defecation trough is provided in the middle of the commode chair, and a negative pressure suction device is fixedly installed in the middle of the defecation trough via a fixed beam. A support backrest is fixedly installed on the rear side of the commode chair, and a non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt is fixedly installed on the support backrest. A central control monitor is fixedly installed on the right side of the commode chair via a baffle. The central control monitor is connected to the anal lubricant, the negative pressure suction device, and the non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt via wiring.

[0007] Furthermore, the negative pressure toilet cleaner includes a drain pipe fixedly installed on the fixed beam, a negative pressure suction machine is fixedly connected to the lower part of the drain pipe, and a toilet sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drain pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the defecation sleeve is flush with the upper surface of the defecation trough.

[0009] Furthermore, the anal auxiliary lubricator includes an instrument support frame fixedly installed on the right side of the side-opening commode chair. An electric liquid pump is fixedly installed at the upper end of the instrument support frame. A spring steel telescopic deformation tube is fixedly installed externally to the electric liquid pump. A disposable conical irrigation head is snapped and fixedly installed at the top of the spring telescopic deformation tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the instrument support frame is provided with a pipeline disinfection tank, and an ultrasonic atomizing disinfection device is fixedly installed in the pipeline disinfection tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt includes a testing belt fixing head fixedly installed on the left side of the side-open commode chair, a testing belt buckle fixedly installed on the right side of the side-open commode chair, an elastic testing belt fixedly installed between the testing belt fixing head and the testing belt buckle, and abdominal pressure measurement modules evenly distributed on the elastic testing belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the abdominal pressure measurement module includes a basic abdominal wall parameter measuring device and an indirect intra-abdominal pressure measuring device. The basic abdominal wall parameter measuring device includes an abdominal wall mechanical property measuring device and an abdominal wall thickness measuring device. The indirect intra-abdominal pressure measuring device consists of an inflatable diaphragm, a curvature sensor, and a pressure sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, the central control monitor, non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt, anal auxiliary lubricator, and negative pressure suction device are all equipped with waterproof and insulating coatings.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the side-opening commode chair is provided with a flexible support pad.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention, by simultaneously incorporating a non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt and a central control monitor, facilitates real-time sensing, monitoring, and display of abdominal pressure. This effectively prevents accidental damage to the implanted kidney due to excessive abdominal pressure caused by unconscious exertion. Furthermore, by incorporating an anal auxiliary lubricator and a negative pressure suction device, it promotes the smooth expulsion of dry stools, reduces abdominal exertion, and thus ensures the safety of bowel movements after kidney transplantation.

[0028] In the above description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "one side," "the other side," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is conventionally placed during use. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in this embodiment, a safe defecation aid after kidney transplantation includes a side-opening commode chair 1. The side-opening commode chair includes a chair body 2, a support backrest 3, and a backrest 4. The support backrest is fixedly installed on the rear side of the chair body, and the backrest is fixedly installed on the right side of the chair body. A central control monitor 5 is rotatably connected to the top front end of the backrest via a pivot.

[0031] A fixed beam 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the commode chair, i.e., the middle of the side-open commode chair. A sewage pipe 7 is fixedly installed through the middle of the fixed beam. A defecation sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sewage pipe. The defecation sleeve is a rigid sleeve that can encompass the patient's buttocks and urethra when the patient sits down. The upper surface of the defecation sleeve is flush with the upper surface of the defecation trough, which is conducive to the patient sitting on it without being squeezed and injured. A negative pressure suction machine 9 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the sewage pipe. It is used to create a negative pressure environment inside the defecation sleeve to assist defecation when the patient sits on the defecation sleeve.

[0032] An anal auxiliary lubricator is fixedly installed on the right side of the side-open commode chair. The anal auxiliary lubricator includes an instrument support frame 10 fixedly installed on the right side of the side-open commode chair. An electric liquid pump 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the instrument support frame. A spring steel telescopic deformation tube 12 is fixedly installed outside the electric liquid pump. A disposable conical irrigation head 13 is snapped and fixedly installed at the top of the spring telescopic deformation tube. A pipeline disinfection tank 14 is opened on the upper end face of the instrument support frame. An ultrasonic atomizing sterilizer is fixedly installed in the pipeline disinfection tank for timely disinfection of the spring steel deformation tube after use.

[0033] A non-invasive, non-interventional intra-abdominal pressure testing belt 15 is fixedly installed on the support backrest. The belt includes a belt fixing head 16 fixedly installed on the left side of the side-open commode chair, a belt locking buckle 17 fixedly installed on the right side, an elastic testing belt 18 fixedly installed between the belt fixing head and the buckle, and abdominal pressure measurement modules 19 evenly distributed on the elastic testing belt. The abdominal pressure measurement module includes a basic abdominal wall parameter measuring device and an indirect intra-abdominal pressure measuring device. The basic abdominal wall parameter measuring device includes an abdominal wall mechanical property measuring device and an abdominal wall thickness measuring device, which work together to obtain the approximate Young's modulus and thickness of the abdominal wall. The indirect intra-abdominal pressure measuring device consists of an inflatable membrane, a curvature sensor, and a pressure sensor. When the indirect intra-abdominal pressure measuring device is brought into contact with the abdomen and pressure is applied, the abdominal deformation, based on the principle of interaction forces, causes deformation of the device, thereby obtaining the intra-abdominal pressure parameters.

[0034] The central control monitor is connected via wires to the anal lubricant, the negative pressure suction device, and the non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the patient experiences a significant urge to defecate, the central controller is first activated. The seat is then placed above the squat toilet, with the lower outlet of the drain pipe aligned with the toilet opening. The patient then removes their pants and sits on the side-mounted commode chair, aligning their buttocks and urethra with the defecation sleeve. A non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure monitoring band is then placed around the patient's buttocks. Defecation can then begin. If the abdominal pressure monitoring value remains normal, a complete defecation can proceed normally. If the abdominal pressure exceeds a safe value and defecation is still impossible, an intra-anal support is inserted. Remove the lubricant, align the disposable conical irrigation head with the anus, and then control it via the central controller to inject lubricant into the patient's anus. After injecting an appropriate amount, the patient removes and discards the disposable conical irrigation head. Then, insert the spring-loaded telescopic tube head into the pipeline disinfection tank for basic disinfection. The patient then sits back in the original position, and the central controller controls the negative pressure suction machine to generate appropriate suction force, thereby assisting the patient's anus to open for defecation. This lubricates and promotes defecation while also using negative pressure suction to reduce the patient's abdominal strain and lower abdominal pressure.

[0036] This embodiment, by simultaneously setting up a non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt and a central control monitor, facilitates real-time sensing, monitoring, and display of abdominal pressure, effectively avoiding accidental damage to the implanted kidney due to excessive abdominal pressure caused by unconscious exertion. At the same time, by setting up an anal auxiliary lubricator and a negative pressure suction device, it helps to promote the smooth expulsion of dry stools, reduce abdominal exertion, and thus ensure the safety of bowel movements after kidney transplantation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the central control monitor, the non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure testing belt, the anal auxiliary lubricator, and the negative pressure suction device are all equipped with waterproof and insulating coatings, which helps to prevent damage to the devices during defecation and cleaning and to avoid leakage of electricity from the devices that could injure the patient.

[0038] In this embodiment, the surface of the side-open commode chair is provided with a flexible support pad, which helps the patient to sit down safely and comfortably.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
