[0031] The following description is used to disclose the present disclosure so that those skilled in the art can implement the present disclosure. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles defined in the following description of the present disclosure can be applied to other implementation manners, variations, improvements, equivalent manners, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of the present disclosure, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on the present disclosure.

[0033] It can be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more". That is, in one embodiment, the number of one element can be one, and in other embodiments, the number of this element can be multiple. The term "one" should not be construed as a limitation on the number.

[0034] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected to", "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or can communicate with each other; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.

[0035] In the related art, when a patient's uterus prolapses, a uterine elevator placed in the patient's vagina is required to lift the uterus to prevent it from falling out. However, when removing the uterine elevator in the related art, the patient's finger often needs to reach deep into the vagina to touch the uterine elevator and remove it. Since the patient is not a professional, the quality of hand disinfection and the pulling-out operation by the patient often cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, when the patient removes the uterine elevator, the risk of the patient's vagina being infected by viruses and bacteria is relatively high, and there may be a situation where the vaginal inner wall is scratched due to excessive force, affecting the treatment effect of the patient.

[0036] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a uterine fixation device, and when the uterine fixation device is removed, the risk of the vagina being infected by viruses and bacteria is low.

[0037] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the uterine fixation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 It is a top view of the uterine fixation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the uterine fixation device includes a device body 10 and at least one pulling-out assembly 20.

[0038] Wherein the device body 10 has an elastic main body 11 and a mesh reinforcing rib 12 provided on the outer surface of the elastic main body 11, and the elastic main body 11 forms a recessed portion 103 within the grid of the mesh reinforcing rib 12. Thus, when the device body 10 is placed in the vagina, the patient or the doctor can manually or with the aid of an instrument pinch the device body 10, causing the device body 10 to deform under pressure, and then place the deformed device body 10 into the position in the patient's vagina that can lift the uterus.

[0039] Figure 3 is Figure 2 A cross-sectional view taken along the A-A cutting line in Figure 4 is Figure 3 An enlarged schematic view of part A in Figure 3 and Figure 4, when the external force pinching the device body 10 disappears, the device body 10 will rebound and fit to the inner wall 91 of the vagina. Thus, an extrusion will be generated between the inner wall 91 of the vagina and the device body 10. Under the extrusion, the air between the concave portion 103 and the inner wall of the vagina will be squeezed out, so that a negative pressure is formed at the concave portion 103, making the concave portion 103 play a role similar to a suction cup, and further enabling the device body 10 to firmly adsorb on the inner wall 91 of the vagina, making it difficult for the device body 10 inserted into the vagina to fall off. And at this time, the top of the device body 10 composed of the elastic main body 11 and the mesh reinforcing rib 12 will support the uterus, so that the uterus will not fall downward. Since the mesh reinforcing rib 12 has high strength and good supporting performance, the uterus can be well lifted up.

[0040] Optionally, the elastic main body 11 is spherical. Thus, the elastic main body 11 is convenient to be smoothly inserted into the vagina and support the uterus, and the spherical elastic main body 11 can adapt to the internal shape of the vagina after being inserted into the vagina. The spherical elastic main body 11 has a large contact area with the vagina and no sharp parts, causing little compression on the vagina and being able to improve the comfort of the patient during use. However, it can be understood that the shape of the elastic main body 11 in the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this, and other shapes can also be considered for the elastic main body 11, such as an ellipsoidal shape.

[0041] Optionally, the elastic main body 11 is hollow. Thus, the mass of the entire elastic main body 11 is small, and it is difficult to fall off due to a large weight, making the patient feel lighter during use and improving the comfort of the patient during use.

[0042] Optionally, the hardness of the mesh reinforcing rib 12 is greater than the hardness of the elastic main body 11. Thus, compared with the elastic main body 11, the mesh reinforcing rib 12 is more difficult to deform, so that the device body 10 including the mesh reinforcing rib 12 can well support the uterus without collapsing.

[0043] Exemplarily, the elastic main body 11 is made of an elastic polymer material with a hardness of 5A - 10A, and the mesh reinforcing rib 12 is made of an elastic polymer material with a hardness of 20A - 25A. Specifically, the hardness of the elastic main body 11 can be 6A, 7A, 8A, etc., and also includes 5A and 10A. The hardness of the mesh reinforcing rib 12 can be 21A, 22A, 23A, etc., and also includes 20A and 25A. Thus, the hardness of the mesh reinforcing rib 12 is greater than that of the elastic main body 11, and the hardness of the above device body 10 ensures its softness and deformability, ensuring that the device body 10 placed at the designated position can rebound and fit with the patient's vagina.

[0044] Specifically, the mesh reinforcing rib 12 includes a plurality of first annular ribs 121 and a plurality of second annular ribs 122. The plurality of first annular ribs 121 are concentric and arranged at intervals in a first direction. The plurality of second annular ribs 122 are concentric and arranged at intervals in a second direction different from the first direction, and the plurality of first annular ribs 121 intersect with the plurality of second annular ribs 122 to form a plurality of meshes. In this way, the mesh reinforcing rib 12 can be relatively evenly distributed on the outer surface of the elastic body 11 and can play a better reinforcing role.

[0045] Optionally, there are a plurality of the recessed portions 103, and they are respectively arranged in the plurality of meshes one by one and are arranged at intervals around the circumferential direction of the elastic body 11. Thus, under the extrusion of the vaginal inner wall 91, the air between the plurality of recessed portions 103 and the vaginal inner wall 91 will be extruded and discharged, so that negative pressures are formed at the plurality of recessed portions 103, and then the plurality of recessed portions 103 form the function similar to a plurality of suction cups, and further enable the device body 10 to better and firmly adsorb on the vaginal inner wall 91.

[0046] The pulling-out assembly 20 can be one or more. Optionally, referring to Figure 1 , the pulling-out assembly 20 is one. One pulling-out assembly 20 includes a force-transmitting rod 21 and a pull ring 22. The force-transmitting rod 21 is connected to the outer surface of the device body 10 and extends away from the device body 10 from the device body 10. The pull ring 22 is connected to the end of the force-transmitting rod 21 away from the device body 10.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the force-transmitting rod 21 can not only transmit force to the device body 10, but also increase the distance between the device body 10 and the pull ring 22, so that the interval distance between the pull ring 22 and the device body 10 is relatively large. That is to say, due to the existence of the force-transmitting rod 21, after the device body 10 is placed in the vagina, the distance that the pull ring 22 extends into the vagina is reduced, or the pull ring 22 can be located outside the vagina.

[0048] Thus, when removing the device body 10 from the patient's vagina, the patient can hook the finger on the pull ring 22, shake the finger to drive the device body 10 to shake through the force transmission rod 21, so that air enters between the plurality of concave portions 103 and the vaginal inner wall 91, thereby relieving the negative pressure state between the plurality of concave portions 103 and the vaginal inner wall 91, and thus the device body 10 is no longer adsorbed on the vaginal inner wall 91. Thus, the patient can apply a pulling force away from the uterus to the pull ring 22 with the finger hooked on the pull ring 22, so that the device body 10 can be pulled away from the uterus, and thus the device body 10 can be removed from the vagina.

[0049] In the above process, the force transmission rod 21 can not only transmit the pulling force to the device body 10, but also because the distance that the pull ring 22 extends into the vagina is reduced, or the pull ring 22 is located outside the vagina. Therefore, when the finger hooks the pull ring 22, the distance that the finger extends into the vagina is small or the finger does not need to extend into the vagina. Therefore, the probability that the vagina is infected by viruses and bacteria when the device body 10 is removed is reduced, and the infection risk is small.

[0050] Optionally, the distance from the end of the device body 10 away from the pull ring 22 (i.e., the end for supporting the uterus) to the pull ring 22 is greater than the distance between the vaginal orifice and the uterus. Thus, when the device body 10 is placed in the vagina and supports the uterus, the pull ring 22 can be located outside the vagina, so that when the device body 10 is removed, the patient's finger does not need to extend into the vagina, thereby further reducing the probability that the patient's vagina is infected by viruses and bacteria.

[0051] Optionally, the length of the force transmission rod 21 is 3 cm to 8 cm. Specifically, the length of the force transmission rod 21 can be any value between 3 cm and 8 cm, such as 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, and 8 cm, and a force transmission rod 21 with a suitable length is selected according to the specific use requirements of the patient.

[0052] Figure 5 is a top view when there are multiple pulling components 20 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 5 , there are multiple pulling components 20, and the multiple pulling components 20 are arranged at intervals on the device body 10. It is worth mentioning that when there are multiple pulling components 20, the number of pull rings 22 is also multiple. Since the number of pull rings 22 is large, the difficulty of finding and hooking the pull ring 22 by the finger is relatively low, and the pulling component 20 is convenient to find and apply the pulling force.

[0053] Specifically, there may be two pulling components 20, and the two pulling components 20 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the device body 10. In addition, it can be understood that the number of the pulling components 20 includes but is not limited to this, and can be adjusted adaptively according to needs.

[0054] Optionally, the inner diameter of the pull ring 22 is configured to allow only a single finger to pass through. Thus, when the device body 10 is taken out from the patient's vagina, the patient can hook the pull ring 22 with a single finger and apply a pulling force away from the uterus to the pull ring 22 with the single finger. Thus, the device body 10 can be taken out only by pulling with a single finger, and the pull ring 22 is small in volume and occupies little space.

[0055] Specifically, the inner diameter of the pull ring 22 is greater than 1 cm and less than 2 cm. Thus, the inner diameter of the pull ring 22 can allow a single finger, such as an index finger, to pass through, and does not allow two or more fingers to pass through.

[0056] Optionally, the outer periphery of the pull ring 22 is circular, and a circular ring hole 2201 is formed inside the pull ring 22. Thus, when the pull ring 22 is pulled out of the vagina under force, the damage to the inner wall 91 of the vagina by the outer wall of the pull ring 22 is small, which is beneficial to ensuring that the pull ring 22 can be smoothly pulled out.

[0057] Figure 6 is a top view schematic diagram of the pull ring 22 of another embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 6 , a polygonal ring hole 2201, such as a regular hexagonal ring hole 2201, may also be formed inside the pull ring 22. Thus, when a finger pulls the pull ring 22 in the polygonal ring hole 2201, it is difficult for the finger to slip and rotate relative to the pull ring 22, ensuring that the finger can smoothly pull the pull ring 22.

[0058] Figure 7 is a structural schematic diagram of the elastic support assembly 30 of an embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 7 , the uterine fixing device further includes an elastic inner support assembly 30 provided on the elastic main body 11. The hardness of the elastic inner support assembly 30 is greater than that of the elastic main body 11, and is used to internally support the elastic main body 11 to enhance the support and lifting performance of the device body 10 for the uterus.

[0059] Optionally, the elastic inner support assembly 30 is composed of an elastic polymer material with a hardness of 15A to 20A, such as any one of the values 15A, 16A, 17A, 18A, 19A, and 20A. Thus, the elastic inner support assembly 30 can play an inner support role for the elastic body 11, and the hardness of the elastic inner support assembly 30 ensures that it is soft and deformable when placed in the patient's vagina, so that the device body 10 can be smoothly placed in the vagina at the position where it can support the uterus when pinched and deformed.

[0060] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 , the elastic inner support assembly 30 includes a first inner support ring 31 and a second inner support ring 32. The first inner support ring 31 is internally supported within the elastic body 11. The second inner support ring 32 is internally supported within the elastic body 11 and is arranged in an interleaved manner with the first inner support ring 31. Specifically, both the first inner support ring 31 and the second inner support ring 32 pass through the central position of the elastic body 11, and the plane where the first inner support ring 31 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second inner support ring 32 is located, with good inner support effect.

[0061] Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the elastic support assembly 30 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 8 , the elastic inner support assembly 30 includes a polyhedron. The polyhedron is internally supported within the elastic body 11, and the center of the polyhedron coincides with the center of the flexible body 11. Specifically, the polyhedron can be a triangular pyramid, a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism, etc.

[0062] Figure 9 is a perspective schematic diagram of the elastic support assembly 30 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 9 , the elastic inner support assembly 30 includes an inner body 33 and a plurality of inner support rods 34. The inner body 33, for example, an inner ball, is arranged at the central position within the elastic body 11. The plurality of inner support rods 34 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner body 33, and one end of each inner support rod 34 is connected to the inner body 33, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the elastic body 11.

[0063] Thus, by internally supporting the elastic body 11 from the inside of the elastic body 11 through the above-mentioned elastic inner support assembly 30, the device body 10 including the elastic body 11 is difficult to be crushed and collapsed when supporting the uterus, and it can ensure that the device body 10 can support the uterus well for a long time.

The advantages of the present disclosure have been fully and effectively realized.
