Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a segmented modular anal sphincter training / massage device. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the anal sphincter is to assist and control defecation. It is an important tissue structure at the end of the lower digestive tract. The sphincter trainer or massager is used to train or massage the anal sphincter in order to provide recovery training for patients with damaged sphincter. The anal sphincter training devices currently on the market include various single-balloon devices and multi-balloon devices. During user use, the single-balloon is squeezed by the reaction force of the sphincter after expansion, and there is a phenomenon that the device is squeezed as a whole, causing it to slide inward or outward, which in turn causes unnecessary friction and damage. Multi-balloon sphincter trainers usually use an integrated multi-balloon structure, which is difficult to manufacture. There is no rigid division between the airbags, and the air chambers are separated only by a soft airbag body. There is a possibility of air leakage between the airbags. At the same time, if a single airbag is damaged, it needs to be replaced as a whole, and the maintenance cost is high. Utility Model Content

Its independent sealed structure eliminates the hidden danger of air leakage between airbags, making its various performances more stable.

[0014] 2. Due to the segmented assembly design, the equipment can be installed with different numbers of functional modules by simply replacing the central connecting bolts of different lengths, and the overall length of the trainer and the number of airbags can be changed. In addition, if the airbag ruptures and needs to be repaired, the modular single airbag only needs to replace the damaged module, reducing the maintenance cost.

[0015] 3. Due to the modular structure, subsequent upgrades and improvements are convenient. The head module and base module of this device can be replaced with modules with other functions, and other special function modules can be added between the function modules to achieve compatibility with more functions.
