Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a wearable intelligent auxiliary defecation device. Background Art

[0002] Patients in neurology and orthopedics have damaged nerves that control defecation. In addition, long-term bed rest leads to slow intestinal motility, changes in bowel habits, and changes in dietary structure, which can cause stool to accumulate in the intestines. In addition, patients do not respond well to oral medications and enema drugs, and can only rely on neurogenic intestinal rehabilitation technology to massage defecation.

[0003] Neurogenic intestinal rehabilitation techniques include: abdominal massage, abdominal pressure defecation, rectal finger force stimulation, induced defecation and pelvic floor muscle training, etc. The operation method is: first perform abdominal pressure defecation, that is, press the abdomen, inhale, hold the breath and ask the patient to move downward to defecate. After doing it twice, perform abdominal massage, apply lubricant, and massage from the end of the ascending colon to the transverse colon, descending colon to the sigmoid colon. Apply appropriate pressure as the patient tolerates, and massage for 3-5 minutes until the palm and the patient's skin are hot. After a meal of operations, if there is still no defecation, for this kind of stubborn constipation patients, give rectal finger force stimulation, also called rectal plucking, that is, wear gloves to lubricate the front end of the index or middle finger, explore the anus in a circle, withdraw one section, stretch in the 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock directions, stretch the anal canal to the pelvic wall, stretch for 1 minute, and rest for 1 minute.

[0034] Waist straps 5 are respectively connected to both sides of the air cushion layer 3, and the two waist straps 5 are detachably connected by Velcro. An air pump 6 connected to the inside of the air cushion layer 3 is installed on the outside of the air cushion layer 3, and the air pump 6 is electrically connected to the control display 7. The air pump 6 can inflate and deflate the air cushion layer 3, thereby repeatedly compressing and massaging the patient's abdomen.

[0035] Multiple rows of massage heads 8 are arranged at intervals in the massage layer 4, each row of massage heads 8 includes multiple massage heads 8 arranged at intervals, and a heating strip 9 is arranged between two adjacent rows of massage heads 8. In this embodiment, the massage head 8 includes a rotating motor 10 fixed in the massage layer 4, the output end of the rotating motor 10 is connected to the rotating head 11, the rotating head 11 at least partially extends out of the massage layer 4, and the heating strip 9, the rotating motor 10 and the control display 7 are electrically connected.
