Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a water-bag type cervical dilator. Background Art

[0002] In the field of obstetrics and gynecology, cervical dilation is one of the common medical operations. However, traditional cervical dilators have many obvious defects.

[0003] Seaweed dilators are prone to breakage during use, which may not only cause interruptions in the operation, but may also cause accidental damage to the patient's cervix. In addition, the material properties of seaweed dilators make them less stable and reliable in the body.

[0004] Although the sponge expander is relatively soft, its expansion capacity is limited. Due to its own physical properties, its expansion speed is slow, and it often takes a long time to achieve the desired expansion effect. This not only increases the patient's time on the operating table, but also brings more pain and discomfort to the patient.

[0005] In addition, traditional expanders are not precise enough in controlling the degree of expansion, and are difficult to flexibly adjust according to the patient's specific conditions and surgical needs, which may lead to insufficient or excessive expansion. Summary of the invention
