Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a device for lubricating the anus before an enema. Background Technology

[0002] Enemas are a commonly used clinical method for bowel cleansing, and their indications include constipation, preoperative preparation, and colonoscopy. Enemas involve introducing liquid into the intestines to soften and flush out feces, thus cleansing the bowels.

[0003] Currently, the main enema devices used in clinical practice include balloon catheters, solution bags, and enema solutions. During the procedure, the catheter is first inserted into the patient's anus, and then the solution bag or enema solution is opened to allow the liquid to flow into the intestines. Throughout the process, the anus needs to be lubricated during catheter insertion to reduce damage to the mucosa. Common lubrication methods include applying petroleum jelly or glycerin.

[0004] However, traditional lubrication methods have several shortcomings. First, oil-based lubricants are viscous, difficult to apply evenly, and have poor lubrication effects. Second, the lubricant is only applied to the surface of the anus and cannot penetrate into the anal folds and anal canal, failing to provide deep lubrication. Furthermore, applying the ointment is not hygienic or convenient. These defects may cause resistance during catheter insertion, increasing the risk of mucosal damage and causing discomfort and pain to the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the anal lubrication methods and devices used before enemas to enhance lubrication effectiveness, reduce complications, and improve the patient experience.
