Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to an artificial pneumatic assisted urination system. Background Art

[0002] After urine is produced by the kidneys, it flows down along the ureters and is stored in the bladder. When the urine in the bladder reaches a certain amount, the bladder contracts through nerve reflexes to discharge urine through the urethra. Damage to urination-related nerves and poor long-term blood sugar control in diabetes can lead to neurogenic bladder. Simply put, the so-called neurogenic bladder is a bladder that cannot store and urinate urine normally. For example, in the late stage of neurogenic bladder caused by diabetes, the patient has no urination consciousness and the bladder does not contract, resulting in excessive bladder expansion and urine retention, which further leads to infection, ureteral urine obstruction and reflux, further leading to renal damage, and causing serious impact on the patient's health. With the advent of aging, the number of diabetic patients has increased rapidly, and the number of patients with neurogenic bladder has also increased rapidly. At present, the treatment of diabetic-related neurogenic bladder in clinical practice is only a helpless method (clean catheterization and cystostomy). Clean catheterization requires high quality of patients and requires several catheterizations a day, which is more painful for patients. With cystostomy, patients need to have a urinary catheter inserted in their abdomen and a urine bag hung for life. Because the fistula opening is directly connected to the inside of the bladder, urine leakage and bladder infection are almost inevitable, and the patient's quality of life is very poor.

[0003] In addition, the standard treatment for mid-to-late stage bladder cancer is to remove the bladder. In order to maintain the patient's quality of life, a section of intestine can be cut off to make a urine reservoir and anastomosed to the ureter and urethra to replace the original bladder. However, the intestine does not contract to urinate like the bladder. In other words, the intestinal neobladder is also similar to an artificial neurogenic bladder. After the operation, the patient still faces the problem of difficulty urinating.

[0004] Based on the above problems, many domestic scholars are committed to developing auxiliary bladder urination devices. Ideally, this device should meet the following basic requirements: 1. Biological non-toxicity; 2. Empty urine as much as possible; 3. Bladder urine cannot flow back into the ureter during urination; 4. Avoid causing serious damage to the bladder, mainly including damage, poor blood supply, and bladder hernia; 5. The function of the device should be long-term and stable. The relevant devices currently disclosed have different degrees of gaps with these requirements, and there has been no major breakthrough in the treatment of neurogenic bladder.

[0044] The air supply assembly includes an inflation mechanism and an air guiding mechanism. The inflation mechanism includes an inflation bag. Knobs are provided at both ends of the inflation bag. Both ends of the inflation bag are connected to filters through the knobs. A one-way valve is built into the inflation bag, and the inflation bag supplies air to the air guiding mechanism in a one-way manner. An air outlet end of the inflation bag is connected to an trachea, which is connected to the air guiding mechanism. A filter is provided at one end of the trachea close to the inflation bag. A knob is provided on one side of the filter, which is connected to the air outlet end of the inflation bag through the knob.

When the air supply assembly is in use, the air pumping mechanism and the air guide mechanism are separate structures, which are connected by a knob and a threaded rotation; the tracheal end of the air guide mechanism is exposed outside the body, and is provided with a filter, which can filter bacteria and viruses in the air to prevent infection. When urination is needed, the air pumping bag is connected to the trachea, the air bag is squeezed, and the volume of the sealed cavity is increased to squeeze the inner layer and the bladder to achieve urination; the filter membrane material of the filter is one or more of polyethersulfone PES, nylon material, and polytetrafluoroethylene, and the filter membrane pore size is 0.22μm-0.45μm, which can filter bacteria and viruses in the air, and can prevent bacteria and viruses in the gas from entering the bladder to cause infection, and has better safety.

[0046] The split structure is composed of two arc-shaped surfaces, and the split structure is easier to install. The blood vessel groove arranged between the bladder diameter hole 8 and the ureter inner hole 7 is used to place the blood vessels connected to the bladder.

[0047] In one embodiment, a fixing plate 26 is provided on the catheter 22 , and the fixing plate can be sutured under the skin to fix the catheter 22 .

[0048] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the curved rear shell 2 adopts an integrated structure, and the curved rear shell is a single leaf, which can be selected according to the patient's pelvis, bladder morphology, vascular plexus distribution and intestinal neobladder surgery method.

[0049] In one embodiment, the inflating bag is an elastic balloon with one-way valves at both ends to control the direction of gas inflow and outflow. The inflating bag is connected to filters at both ends through knobs, and the filters can be removed and replaced. The catheter is emitted from different air holes and then gathered into a catheter, which is bent at the outer end and connected to the knob. The knob is connected to the filter, and the filter can be removed and replaced. There is a fixed disk near the outer end of the catheter, and this fixed disk can be sewn under the skin to fix the catheter. When urination is needed, the patient can connect the inflating device to the catheter system as needed, inflate, increase the pressure of the sealed cavity, squeeze the inner layer to achieve urination, and at the same time, the anti-reflux balloon expands and compresses the ureter to prevent urine ureteral reflux. After urination, remove the inflating device, and the gas can be freely discharged from the urination air cavity and the anti-reflux balloon. The bladder re-receives urine from the ureter to store urine. This pneumatic system has multiple levels of filters to ensure the sterility of the gas entering the body. The filters can be removed and replaced regularly to ensure the long-term stability of the device's functions. In addition, this pneumatic device does not require batteries and pumps to provide power and is reliable in the long term.

[0050] Urine storage period: as urine enters the bladder from the ureter, the volume of the bladder increases with the increase of urine. Since the sealed cavity of the catheter is connected to the outside of the body through the catheter and the filter, the bladder can push the inner layer to move, the gas in the sealed cavity is discharged, the volume of the sealed cavity is reduced, and the position of the inner layer is restored. When the volume of the bladder increases to a certain extent, since the positive electrode and the negative electrode are provided near the pores on the inner wall of the curved front shell, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are arranged close to the inner wall of the curved front shell, and the positive electrode and the negative electrode are formed by overlapping and crimping. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are elastic and are made of titanium alloy. When there is little urine in the bladder, the positive electrode and the negative electrode do not contact each other. When the bladder is full, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are squeezed by the inner layer, and the two contact to form a conductive path. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are both connected with wires, and the wires extend to the outside of the body with the catheter. The positive electrode and the negative electrode can be connected to a buzzer or a flashing light through the wires, and the positive electrode is connected to the power supply. The negative electrode is connected to the negative pole of the power supply. When the urine in the bladder is gradually filled, the inner layer of the curved front shell contacts the outer shell, the positive electrode is connected to the negative electrode, and the external buzzer sounds or the flashing light flashes to remind the patient to assist urination.

[0051] It should be understood that in another embodiment, a conductive sheet is disposed on the outer wall of the inner layer, and the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet can be connected to form a passage through the conductive sheet of the inner layer.

[0052] Urinary period: After connecting the inflation device and the outer opening of the catheter, the inflation bag of the inflation device is squeezed. Since there are one-way valves at both ends of the inflation bag, the gas is pressed into the catheter system and filtered through multi-stage filters. The air entering the catheter system is sterile. The gas further enters the urination air cavity and the anti-reflux air bag, compressing the bladder and ureter to achieve autonomous urination. While urinating, it can prevent urine from refluxing into the ureter. After urination, the inflation device and the catheter system are separated, and the air in the anti-reflux air bag flows out of the catheter system. The compression of the ureter is released, and the urine can flow from the ureter into the bladder and enter the urine storage period again, and the cycle continues.

[0053] In one embodiment, the specific shape of the bladder wrap can be adjusted according to the patient's pelvis, bladder morphology, vascular plexus distribution, and enteral neobladder procedure. The product can be manufactured by casting or 3D printing, and the places that come into contact with human tissue are made of bio-inert materials.

[0054] This device needs to be installed surgically. For neurogenic bladder, the patient's pelvis, bladder morphology, and vascular plexus distribution need to be evaluated by imaging techniques such as CT and MRI before surgery, and the size, shape, opening and slot positions of the wrapping device need to be adjusted. The wrapping device is 3D printed or cast. During the operation, two single J tubes are first placed into the ureter through a ureteroscope to drain kidney urine. At the same time, an auxiliary installation balloon is inserted into the bladder through the urethra, which has been used to fill the bladder later. Then, an extraperitoneal approach is used to peel off the top wall of the bladder from the peritoneum, separate the anterior wall of the bladder from the abdominal wall or pelvis, and free the proximal bladder segment of the ureter. For male patients, the free seminal vesicle needs to be ligated, the bladder neck is completely retained, and the lateral ligaments of the bladder are appropriately freed. To install the bladder wrapping device, first place the ureter, bladder neck, and vascular plexus in the corresponding ureteral orifice, ureteral orifice, bladder neck orifice, and first vascular groove, and then complete the apposition. Inflate the auxiliary balloon in the bladder to fill the bladder, push the bladder toward the curved posterior shell, make the posterior wall of the bladder fit with the curved posterior shell, suture and fix the posterior lower wall of the bladder part to the curved posterior shell through the fixing hole, put the ureter into the ureteral wrapping shell, pass it upward through the external hole of the ureter, close the ureteral wrapping system, and the fixing convex can be connected by a buckle or by winding silk thread. Comb the catheter, pass the catheter through the tunnel from the subcutaneous, and suture the fixing disk on the catheter to the subcutaneous to fix the catheter. 7-10 days after the operation, remove the bladder balloon and single J tube, connect the inflation device to the external port of the catheter system, repeatedly squeeze the inflation balloon to urinate, and when urination is finished, separate the inflation device and the catheter system to enter the urine storage period. Only by repeating this cycle can autonomous urination be achieved.

[0055] For intestinal neobladder, the size, shape, position of openings and grooves of the wrapping device are adjusted according to different intestinal neobladder surgical procedures, and the wrapping device is 3D printed or cast. Because the blood supply of the intestinal neobladder comes from the mesentery, the mesenteric structure is complex, and the blood vessels are distributed irregularly, the vascular grooves at the junction of the wrapping grooves can be long, round, and other different shapes, and the size is not fixed. In addition, some intestinal neobladder surgical procedures merge and anastomose the ureters on both sides before implanting them into the new bladder. At this time, only one ureteral wrapping shell is retained in the wrapping system. The bladder is removed, a single J ureteral tube is placed, and an intestinal neobladder is made. After the intestinal neobladder is anastomosed with the ureter and urethra, the bladder wrapping device is installed. First, the ureter, urethral anastomosis and vascular plexus are placed in the corresponding ureteral external hole, ureteral internal hole, bladder neck hole and second vascular groove, and then the insemination is completed. The posterior lower wall of the intestinal neobladder part is sutured and fixed to the single-layer shell through the fixing hole. The ureter is placed in the ureteral wrapping shell and passed upward from the ureteral external hole to close the ureteral wrapping system. The fixing convex is connected by a buckle belt, and can also be connected by winding silk thread. A hook is provided on the outer side of the multi-layer curved front shell, and the bladder wrapping system is fixed to the pelvis through the hook to prevent the wrapping shell from ectopically compressing important pelvic organs and tissues. The catheter is combed and passed through the tunnel from the subcutaneous part. The fixing disc on the catheter is sutured subcutaneously to fix the catheter. 7-14 days after the operation, the single J tube is removed, the inflation device is connected to the external port of the catheter system, the inflation bag is squeezed repeatedly to urinate, and when urination is finished, the inflation device and the catheter system are separated to enter the urine storage period. This cycle is repeated to achieve autonomous urination.
