Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of childbirth assistance devices, and more specifically, to a childbirth assistance device. Background Technology

[0002] Childbirth aids are a type of medical device used to assist or facilitate the childbirth process. They aim to improve the safety of childbirth, reduce maternal pain, and help manage complex situations. In particular, they address the protection of the perineum, mainly to prevent uneven pressure on the perineum from causing tearing, episiotomy, or other adverse conditions that affect the mother's postpartum recovery.

[0003] However, it still has some shortcomings in actual use. For example, the "perineal protection" commonly used in clinical practice is more of a manual technique, in which the midwife supports the perineum with her hand to guide the delivery of the fetus. There are few dedicated mechanical products, and most of them are simple in structure, so there is still room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a childbirth assistance device. By providing a connecting part, an arc-shaped expansion plate, and a guide strip, the operating physician can hold the handle and continuously penetrate the perineum of the parturient through the arc-shaped expansion plate. At the same time, the inner side of the arc-shaped expansion plate is tightly attached to the side of the perineum. Utilizing the shape of the arc-shaped expansion plate and the connecting part, the perineum can be gradually and evenly opened, providing a continuous lifting effect for the perineum, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a childbirth assist device, comprising a handle, a limiting ball fixedly embedded at the bottom end of the handle, a connecting portion integrally formed at the top end of the handle, an arc-shaped expansion plate fixedly disposed at the top end of the connecting portion, the connecting portion and the arc-shaped expansion plate being distributed in an inclined manner from one side of the handle to the other side, with the inclination gradually increasing, a guide strip being embedded in the central area of ​​the inner wall of the handle, the limiting ball and the connecting portion, the guide strip being consistent with the overall curved shape of the handle, the connecting portion and the arc-shaped expansion plate, the end of the guide strip being hemispherical, and the cross section of the guide strip being semi-circular, an arc-shaped edge being formed at the connection between the connecting portion and the arc-shaped expansion plate, and the edges of the arc-shaped edge being smooth.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the grip, the limiting ball, and the connecting part are all made of medical-grade plastic material, and the arc-shaped extension plate is all made of medical-grade latex material.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the surfaces of the grip and the limiting ball are formed with anti-slip stripes, and the grip is generally flat, with the diameter of the limiting ball being larger than the width of the grip.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the overall curvature of the connecting part and the arc-shaped extension plate gradually increases from one side near the grip to the other, and the surfaces of the connecting part and the arc-shaped extension plate are both smooth.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the overall area of ​​the connecting part and the arc-shaped expansion plate gradually expands from the connecting part to one side of the arc-shaped expansion plate, and the end of the arc-shaped expansion plate is set as a semi-circular arc.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the arc-shaped edge is distributed as a smooth curve, and the edges of the connecting part and the arc-shaped extension plate are designed with rounded corners.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention, through the design of a connecting part, an arc-shaped expansion plate, and a guide strip, allows the operating physician to hold the handle and continuously extend the arc-shaped expansion plate into the perineum of the mother. Simultaneously, the inner side of the arc-shaped expansion plate is tightly pressed against the side of the perineum. Utilizing the shape of the arc-shaped expansion plate and the connecting part, the perineum is gradually and evenly stretched, providing a continuous lifting effect and preventing uneven pressure on the perineum. While the arc-shaped expansion plate and connecting part maintain an overall arc shape, each segment can adaptively adjust its angle according to the local tissue contour, achieving point-to-point contact and avoiding excessive pressure concentration in the perineum. This distributes local pressure, resulting in uniform and comfortable overall support, significantly reducing the risk of tissue rupture. The entire structure provides a temporary, external skeletal or scaffold structure for the soft tissue perineum. This scaffold enhances the structural integrity of the perineum during extreme expansion, resists excessive stretching, maintains tissue continuity, and ensures protection against tearing and episiotomy during childbirth, improving the safety and comfort of childbirth.

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] As attached Figures 1-5 A childbirth aid device is shown, comprising a handle 1, a limiting ball 2 fixedly embedded at the bottom end of the handle 1, a connecting portion 3 integrally formed at the top end of the handle 1, and an arc-shaped expansion plate 4 fixedly disposed at the top end of the connecting portion 3. The connecting portion 3 and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 are distributed in an increasingly inclined manner from one side of the handle 1 to the other. A guide strip 5 is embedded in the central area of ​​the inner wall of the handle 1, the limiting ball 2, and the connecting portion 3. The guide strip 5 is consistent with the overall curvature of the handle 1, the connecting portion 3, and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4. The end of the guide strip 5 is hemispherical, and the cross-section of the guide strip 5 is semi-circular. An arc-shaped edge 6 is formed at the connection between the connecting portion 3 and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4. The edge of the arc-shaped edge 6 is smooth. The surfaces of the grip 1 and the limiting ball 2 are formed with anti-slip stripes, and the grip 1 is generally flat. The diameter of the limiting ball 2 is larger than the width of the grip 1. The curvature of the connecting part 3 and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 gradually increases from one side near the grip 1 to the other side. The surfaces of the connecting part 3 and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 are smooth. The overall area of ​​the connecting part 3 and the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 gradually expands from one side of the connecting part 3 to the arc-shaped expansion plate 4. The end of the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 is set as a semi-circular arc. The guide strip 5 ensures that when the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 and the connecting part 3 move into the perineum, the guide strip 5 can play a certain guiding and smoothing role, ensuring that the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 can smoothly slide into the depth of the perineum, thereby providing support and protection.

[0016] Please refer to the attached instruction manual for details. Figure 2 The grip 1, the limiting ball 2, and the connecting part 3 are all made of medical-grade plastic material, and the arc-shaped extension plate 4 is all made of medical-grade latex material.

[0017] The specific implementation method is as follows: By using the above setting, it can be ensured that the elasticity of the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 is greater than that of the connecting part 3. Therefore, during use, the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 is more likely to deform under stress according to the actual situation, thereby effectively conforming to the shape of the perineum of the mother and providing support and protection for the perineum.

[0018] Please refer to the attached instruction manual for details. Figure 4The arc-shaped edge 6 is distributed in a smooth curve, and the edges of the connecting part 3 and the arc-shaped extension plate 4 are designed with rounded corners.

[0019] The specific implementation method is as follows: using the above settings, the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 can be slid deep into the perineum to expand and support, thereby increasing the overall smoothness of movement of the arc-shaped expansion plate 4.

[0020] Working principle of this invention: Step 1: First, the doctor holds the handle 1 and inserts the curved expansion plate 4 into the perineum of the mother. At the same time, the inner side of the curved expansion plate 4 is pressed tightly against the side of the perineum. By utilizing the shape of the curved expansion plate 4 and the connecting part 3, the perineum can be gradually and evenly opened, and a continuous lifting effect can be provided to the perineum to prevent uneven pressure on the perineum.

[0021] Step Two: During the production process, the greater elasticity of the curved expansion plate 4 compared to the connecting part 3 allows it to deform more easily under stress, effectively conforming to the shape of the perineum and providing support and protection. While the curved expansion plate 4 and connecting part 3 maintain an overall curved shape, each segment can adaptively adjust its angle according to the contour of the local tissue, achieving a "point-to-point" fit. This avoids excessive pressure concentration in the perineum, distributing local pressure and resulting in uniform and comfortable overall support. Simultaneously, the curved expansion plate 4 is used to distribute point or line... The high pressure and strong impact are transformed into a wider and smaller pressure distribution through the surface contact of the arc-shaped expansion plate 4. According to the pressure formula (P=F / A), under the condition that the total force (F) remains unchanged, increasing the contact area (A) can effectively reduce the pressure (P) borne by the tissue, thereby greatly reducing the risk of the tissue being "ripped". The entire structure provides a temporary, external "skeleton" or "scaffold" for the soft tissue perineum. This scaffold enhances the structural integrity of the perineal body under extreme expansion, resists excessive stretching, and maintains the continuity of the tissue.

[0022] Step 3: When the fetal head passes through the largest diameter line, the perineal pressure reaches its peak. At this time, the high elasticity of the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 allows it to undergo further buffering deformation, absorbing some of the stress, like a "safety airbag," providing crucial cushioning protection for the perineal tissue. After the fetal head, shoulders, and body are delivered in succession, the pressure in the perineum decreases sharply, and the operator can relax the applied force. Due to the elasticity of the material, the arc-shaped expansion plate 4 will gradually return to its original shape and naturally separate from the perineal tissue. Subsequently, the entire structure is gently removed from the birth canal, and the entire structure undergoes subsequent medical standard disinfection procedures for disinfection and preservation.
