TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of delivery assisting devices, in particular to a device for preventing vaginal laceration during delivery. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the delivery process, vaginal laceration is a common complication, especially in the second stage of labor, when the fetal head passes through the birth canal, causing great stretching and damage to the pelvic floor muscle tissue and perineum. Vaginal laceration not only brings physical pain to the puerpera, but also affects her postpartum recovery and quality of life. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a device for preventing vaginal laceration during delivery.
[0003] In the first stage of labor, the birth canal is functionally closed and maintained in place by the combined action of multiple layers of muscle and connective tissue. As the cervix dilates, the vagina maintains its basic diameter of about 2.6 cm. However, in the second stage of labor, when the fetal head descends into the birth canal, it exerts direct pressure on the pelvic floor, causing the vaginal orifice to rapidly expand to about 10 cm, which is the average head diameter of a newborn. This 3.8-fold expansion in diameter and about 15-fold expansion in area occurs in a very short period of time, causing tremendous pressure on the vaginal and perineal tissues.
[0004] Currently, although there are some methods to prevent vaginal laceration, their effects are not exact. For example, perineal massage, hot compress and "manual assistance" delivery techniques have been applied in clinical practice, but have not been proven to significantly reduce the incidence of vaginal laceration. In view of the limitations of existing methods, the present application provides a device for preventing vaginal laceration during delivery. SUMMARY

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor on the basis of these embodiments also belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0021] In order to more clearly explain and illustrate the technical solutions and implementation modes of the present application, the following introduces the specific embodiments preferred for implementing the technical solutions of the present application.
[0022] Embodiment; preferred technical solution of the device for preventing vaginal laceration during delivery: I. Overall structure and assembly of the device: The device is composed of a delivery seat mechanism 1, a hip support frame mechanism 2, and two sets of perineal tissue traction prevention mechanisms 3, which work together to dynamically protect the perineal tissue.
[0023] The specific assembly steps are as follows: Construction of the delivery seat mechanism 1: The base plate 11 is horizontally fixed to the ground with a metal material, and the front end of the base plate is pre-processed with a notch. The base 12 is welded to the central upper surface of the base plate, and high-strength steel is used to support the overall load.
[0024] Hip and waist cushion 15 and backrest 16: The medical silicone hip and waist cushion 15 is fixed on the top of the base by bolts, and a U-shaped opening is provided on the front side of the cushion to expose the perineal area of the pregnant woman. The backrest 16 is connected to the rear end of the cushion through a hinge, with an inclination angle of 110°~120°, and a built-in air pressure adjusting device to adapt to different body shapes.
[0025] Leg support 13 and support rod 14: Two telescopic support rods 14 are welded to the two sides of the cushion, and arc-shaped leg supports 13 are installed at the ends, with a memory sponge layer on the surface. The support rod adjusts the length through a gear structure, so that the pregnant woman's legs are in a 90° flexion and abduction position.
[0026] Installation of the hip support frame mechanism 2: Cross base 21 and servo cylinder 22: The cross-shaped aluminum alloy base 21 is embedded in the notch at the front end of the base plate, and four servo cylinders 22 are hinged at the four ends. The IP67 waterproof level is selected for the electric cylinder, and the thrust range is 0~500N.
[0027] Electric push rod 27 and top rod 26: The electric push rod 27 is vertically installed in the center of the cross base, with a stainless steel top rod 26 welded at the top end of the telescopic shaft. The end of the top rod is processed into a 50mm diameter metal ball 25.
[0028] Linkage structure of the placement plate 28: The telescopic shaft 23 of the four servo cylinders 22 is connected to the bottom of the placement plate 28 through a hinged inverted U-shaped connecting plate 24. The fixed block 212 is welded to the bottom center of the placement plate 28, and the spherical recess 211 is built-in to form a spherical hinge with the metal ball 25, allowing the placement plate 28 to tilt with multiple degrees of freedom.
[0029] Integration of the perineal traction mechanism 3: Housing 31 and servo motor 32: Two sets of ABS engineering plastic housings 31 are symmetrically installed on the front side of the placement plate 28, with two brushless servo motors 32 built-in, with an output torque of 0.5Nm and a adjustable speed of 0~30rpm.
[0030] Rotation wheel 36 and pulling wire 38: the motor output shaft is connected to the rotation wheel 36 through a shaft coupling, and the outer ring of the rotation wheel is processed with a V-shaped groove 37. Two high-strength polyester pulling wires 38 with a diameter of 0.8 mm pass through the groove 37 on the rotation wheel 36, and the ends are connected to medical silicone adhesive tape 39 with a size of 5 cm x 10 cm, and the adhesive layer is low-sensitization acrylate.
[0031] Guide bracket 310 and limit block 35: a nylon guide bracket 310 is installed on the inside of the shell, and the internal through hole guides the pulling wire to go. The distal end of the pulling wire is provided with a limit block 35 with a diameter of 8 mm to prevent the pulling wire from coming off the rotation wheel.
[0032] II. Operation process and function implementation: Maternal position fixation: the puerpera sits on the hip and waist cushion 15, the back is attached to the backrest 16, and the legs are flexed and placed on the leg support 13. Adjust the length of the support rod 14 to make the hip joint abduction 80°~90°.
[0033] The operator wraps the canvas belt 29 around the root of the puerpera's thigh, locks it with the buckle 210, limits the movement of the lower limbs, and disperses the pressure on the hips.
[0034] Dynamic adjustment of hip support: Height adjustment: start the electric push rod 27 to lift the top rod 26, and push the placement plate 28 to the front side of the puerpera's hips. Among them, a contact pressure sensor is arranged in the electric push rod 27, and the threshold value of the contact pressure sensor is set to 15 kPa.
[0035] Angle adjustment: four servo cylinders 22 are stretched and retracted in coordination to adjust the pitch and roll angle of the placement plate 28 within ±15° range through the inverted U-shaped connecting plate 24, and to match the fetal head descent path in real time.
[0036] Perineal traction prevention operation: Adhesive tape positioning: the left medical adhesive tape 39 is pasted on the right side of the perineum 2 cm away from the vaginal orifice, and the right adhesive tape is symmetrically pasted on the left side to form a cross traction layout.
[0037] Traction force control: the servo motor 32 drives the rotation wheel 36 to synchronously wind the pulling wire 38, and the initial traction force is set to 5N, which is dynamically adjusted to a maximum of 20N with the intensity of uterine contraction. The number of rotation wheel revolutions is monitored by an encoder to accurately control the traction distance of 0~10 cm.
[0038] Emergency release: if the fetal head is delivered too fast, the motor is reversed for 0.5 seconds to quickly release the traction force to avoid excessive traction.
[0039] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone should be aware that any structural changes made under the guidance of the present invention, and any technical solutions that are the same or similar to those of the present invention, fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
