Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to an auxiliary device for women to independently implement intermittent urinary catheterization. Background Art

[0002] Urinary dysfunction is a common clinical problem that can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as spinal cord injury, neurological disease, diabetes, etc. These conditions may cause the bladder muscles to not work properly, thus affecting urination function. To solve this problem, intermittent catheterization has become an effective treatment.

[0003] Intermittent catheterization is a non-invasive urination assistance technique. It involves inserting a catheter into the urethra to drain urine at predetermined time intervals, and then removing the catheter immediately after the urine is completely emptied. The main advantages of this method include: preventing urinary tract infections that may result from long-term indwelling catheters; relieving acute or chronic urinary retention; accurately measuring residual urine volume; enhancing patients' self-care ability and improving their quality of life; and maintaining normal bladder activity, which helps to restore and train normal urination function. Intermittent catheterization has been widely used in clinical practice due to its simplicity, safety, and effectiveness.

[0004] However, there may be some challenges for women to perform intermittent catheterization on their own. First, the female urethra is shorter and the urethral opening is more difficult to locate, which may increase the difficulty of the operation. Second, in a poorly lit environment, it becomes more difficult to find the urethral opening and disinfect it. In addition, carrying and using the various items required for catheterization may cause inconvenience to women, especially when going out or traveling. These challenges may affect women's acceptance and compliance with intermittent catheterization.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features in different embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0051] The inventor of this case has provided a solution to the problems existing in the prior art through careful and in-depth research. The present invention provides an auxiliary device for women to implement intermittent catheterization autonomously, including: a pat-pat ruler, which includes a long strip of memory metal shrapnel, which has two states: straight and curled. The memory metal shrapnel is wrapped around the legs of women in the curled state and applies pressure to the legs of women; a self-spectacle assembly, which includes a mirror, a light source and a magnet connected to each other. The self-spectacle assembly is fixed to the side of the pat-pat ruler away from the legs of women by the memory metal shrapnel and the magnet. When the self-spectacle assembly is magnetically attracted to the pat-pat ruler, it has a motion stroke based on the axial rotation of the magnet's axis. The light source is used to emit light to illuminate the private parts of women, and the mirror is used to reflect the reflected light from the private parts of women into the field of vision of women. The auxiliary device for women to implement intermittent urinary catheterization independently of the present invention can rotatably fix the self-mirror assembly to the woman's leg by magnetic attraction through a patting ruler, and at the same time increase the light source for illumination. Through the mirror reflection in the self-mirror assembly, it is convenient for women to observe their private parts independently, and the observation of private parts can be realized in an environment with insufficient light, thereby solving the problem of women's difficulty in finding the urethral opening, and facilitating women to implement intermittent urinary catheterization independently.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an auxiliary device 100 for women to implement intermittent urinary catheterization independently, including: a ruler 10 and a self-scope assembly 20.

[0053] Specifically, the pat ruler 10 includes a long memory metal spring 11. The memory metal spring 11 is in a long strip shape, which is convenient for wrapping around a woman's leg. The memory metal spring 11 has two states: straight and curled. In the curled state, the memory metal spring 11 is wrapped around the woman's leg and applies pressure to the woman's leg, so that the pat ruler 10 and the woman's leg are fixed by friction between the two.

[0054] Specifically, the self-mirror assembly 20 includes a mirror surface 21, a light source 22 and a magnet 23 which are connected to each other. The self-mirror assembly 20 is magnetically fixed to the side of the ruler 10 away from the female leg by the memory metal spring sheet 11 and the magnet 23. That is, when the memory metal spring sheet 11 is in a curled state and wrapped around the female leg, the self-mirror assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the ruler 10, at which time one side of the ruler 10 is wrapped around and fits the female leg, and the self-mirror assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the other side of the ruler 10. When the self-mirror assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the ruler 10, it has a motion stroke based on the axial rotation of the axis of the magnet 23. Furthermore, the magnet 23 can be fixedly connected to the mirror surface 21 and the light source 22, and the magnet 23 can be magnetically attracted to the ruler 10 at any position and angle, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position and angle of the mirror surface 21. When the magnetic attraction position of the self-viewing mirror assembly 20 and the pat-pat ruler 10 is fixed, the self-viewing mirror assembly 20 can also rotate around the magnetic attraction point to adjust the magnetic attraction angle of the magnet 23, thereby adjusting the angle of the mirror surface 21. The magnet 23 can be cylindrical, which further facilitates the rotation of the self-viewing mirror assembly 20.

[0055] Specifically, the light source 22 is used to emit light to illuminate the female private parts, and the mirror 21 is used to reflect the reflected light from the female private parts into the female field of vision. The mirror 21 can facilitate the female to observe the private parts by itself through its own rotation. The addition of the light source 22 for illumination can also realize the observation of the private parts in an environment with insufficient light, thereby solving the problem of difficulty for women to find the urethral opening and facilitating the female to implement intermittent catheterization by themselves.

[0056] In some embodiments, the memory metal dome 11 has a straight state and a curled state. When in the straight state, the cross section of the memory metal dome 11 is arc-shaped, and the side of the arc-shaped protrusion of the cross section is the side close to the female leg in the curled state. When in the curled state, the memory metal dome 11 is spiral-shaped, and is formed by rolling up the two ends to the middle position in the length direction of the memory metal dome 11, and the side wrapped around the female leg in the spiral shape is the side of the arc-shaped protrusion of the cross section in the straight state. Specifically, when the memory metal dome 11 is straightened and in the straight state, the arched structure formed can support the long side without bending. Once this structure is destroyed by external force, the memory metal dome 11 immediately changes to a curled state, shrinks into a curled circle, and is wrapped around the female leg. Exemplarily, the straight state of the memory metal dome 11 can be destroyed by slapping the arc-shaped protrusion of the memory metal dome 11 in the straight state toward the female leg, so that it is transformed into a curled state, so that it is wrapped around the female leg.

[0057] In some embodiments, when in the curled state, the self-spectacle assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the other side of the arc-shaped protrusion of the cross section of the memory metal spring sheet 11 in the straightened state. Since one side of the arc-shaped protrusion of the memory metal spring sheet 11 is close to the female's legs in the curled state, the self-spectacle assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the other side of the arc-shaped protrusion to achieve magnetic fixation with the pat ruler 10.

[0058] In some embodiments, the two ends of the length direction of the memory metal spring 11 are arc-shaped. The arc-shaped ends can prevent the memory metal spring 11 from hurting women in the process of rapidly changing from a straight state to a curled state, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the length of the memory metal shrapnel 11 is 65 cm and the width is 3 cm, so as to achieve the best fixing effect between the slap ruler 10 and the female leg. It is understandable that the above values ​​of the memory metal shrapnel 11 are only an exemplary description, and the memory metal shrapnel 11 can also select a suitable value according to the specific circumference length of the female leg to achieve the best fixing effect between the slap ruler 10 and the female leg. For example, the length of the memory metal shrapnel 11 can be 20 to 100 cm, and the width can be 1 to 10 cm, and this application does not limit this.

[0060] Continue to refer Figure 4 In some embodiments, the Pat Ruler 10 further includes: a buffer wrapping layer 12. The buffer wrapping layer 12 is wrapped around the periphery of the memory metal shrapnel 11. The buffer wrapping layer 12 matches the shape of the memory metal shrapnel 11, and the buffer wrapping layer 12 is in surface contact with the memory metal shrapnel 11, thereby avoiding direct contact between the metal memory metal shrapnel 11 and the female leg, and avoiding the memory metal shrapnel 11 from injuring the female in the process of rapidly changing from a straight state to a curled state, thereby improving the safety of the device, and at the same time, buffering and isolating the memory metal shrapnel 11 and the female leg, thereby improving the comfort of using the device. In addition, one end of the buffer wrapping layer 12 in the length direction has an opening, and the memory metal shrapnel 11 enters the interior of the buffer wrapping layer 12 through the opening, thereby realizing the assembly and replacement of the buffer wrapping layer 12 and the memory metal shrapnel 11, and improving the service life of the device.

[0061] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the self-viewing mirror assembly 20 further includes: a detachably connected battery box compartment 24 and a battery box cover 25. The battery box compartment 24 is used to accommodate batteries and form a circuit structure to power the light source 22. The battery box cover 25 is located on the back of the battery box compartment 24, and the light source 22 is located on the front of the battery box compartment 24, which is convenient for women to irradiate their private parts. The magnet 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the battery box compartment 24 away from the mirror surface 21, so as to facilitate the rotation of the self-viewing mirror assembly 20 relative to the pat ruler 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, the self-viewing mirror assembly 20 further includes: a battery, which is located in a battery compartment 24. The battery can be a dry cell or a button cell, etc., and is used to power the light source 22. The light source 22 is an LED lamp, and the battery is electrically connected to the LED lamp through the circuit structure in the battery compartment 24 and powers the LED lamp.

[0063] Continue to refer Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the self-spectrum assembly 20 further includes: a pivotally connected medicine box compartment 26 and a medicine box cover 27. Intermittent catheterization usually requires many items, such as disinfection items, lubricating items, and catheterization items, which are not convenient to carry. The medicine box compartment 26 can be used for the operating supplies required for intermittent catheterization, so that women can also perform catheterization when they go out, reducing the difficulty of operation for women.

[0064] Specifically, the medicine box cover 27 is located at the back of the medicine box compartment 26, the mirror 21 is located at the front of the medicine box compartment 26, and the front of the battery box compartment 24 and the medicine box compartment 26 face the same direction, so that the mirror 21 can reflect the reflected light from the female private parts into the female field of vision. The reflected light from the female private parts can be ambient light or light emitted by the light source 22.

[0065] Specifically, the light source 22 is located between the magnet 23 and the mirror 21, so that the optical fiber emitted by the light source 22 can illuminate the female private parts. It is understandable that the light source 22 can be one or more point light sources 22 located around the mirror 21, or a linear light source 22 or a planar light source 22 arranged around the mirror 21, and the present application does not limit this.

[0066] In some embodiments, the battery compartment 24 and the medicine compartment 26 are integrally formed to achieve unified preparation of the battery compartment 24 and the medicine compartment 26, thereby making the device miniaturized and portable for females to carry. Specifically, the battery compartment 24 and the medicine compartment 26 can be an integral compartment, and divided into two adjacent sub-compartments by a partition. Among them, the sub-compartment close to the magnet 23 is the battery compartment 24, and the sub-compartment away from the magnet 23 is the medicine compartment 26, and this application does not limit this.

[0067] In summary, the auxiliary device for women to implement intermittent catheterization independently of the present invention can rotatably fix the self-mirror assembly to the woman's leg through a ruler, and at the same time increase the light source for lighting. Through the mirror reflection in the self-mirror assembly, it is convenient for women to observe their private parts independently, and at the same time realize the observation of private parts in an environment with insufficient light, thereby solving the problem of women's difficulty in finding the urethral opening, and facilitating women to implement intermittent catheterization independently.

[0068] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific optional implementation methods, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
