Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly to a flexible irregular cavity cleaning balloon catheter for cleaning vaginal secretions. Background Technology

[0002] The health of the female reproductive system has always been a crucial issue of great concern. As part of the female reproductive system, the cleanliness and hygiene of the vagina are vital for preventing infection and maintaining reproductive health. However, traditional vaginal cleaning methods often have several shortcomings, such as: 1. Incomplete rinsing: Traditional vaginal douching methods, such as simple external washing with a basin and water, are insufficient to penetrate deep into the vagina and effectively remove dirt, secretions, and potential pathogens hidden in the folds and depths (for example, many women still experience recurrent vaginal inflammation after using this method, indicating that the cleaning effect of traditional douching is not ideal); 2. Inconvenient operation: Using syringes or other simple tools for vaginal douching is relatively cumbersome and requires certain skills and experience from the patient; otherwise, it can easily cause leakage, damage to the vaginal mucosa, and other problems (for example, some women, when using a syringe for self-douching, cannot accurately control the force and angle, resulting in uneven distribution of the rinsing solution inside the vagina, affecting the cleaning effect, and may even cause discomfort or pain); 3. Hygiene issues: Traditional cleaning methods often fail to guarantee the hygiene of cleaning instruments, easily leading to cross-infection. For example, sharing basins or using unsterilized cleaning tools may carry bacteria and viruses, increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, this approach fails to meet modern women's needs for efficient, safe, and convenient cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible, irregular cavity cleaning balloon catheter for cleaning vaginal secretions, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an elastic irregular cavity cleaning balloon catheter for cleaning vaginal secretions, including an inflatable and elastic balloon and a soft catheter connected to the balloon. One end of the catheter is connected to the inner lumen of the balloon, and the other end of the catheter is provided with a connector. The connector is provided with an inflation port with a one-way valve, and the inflation port is connected to the lumen of the catheter. Several flexible protrusions are provided on the surface of the balloon.

[0005] Furthermore, the flexible protrusions are annular and spaced apart along the circumference of the balloon to form a receiving groove between two adjacent flexible protrusions.

[0006] Furthermore, when the balloon folds, its cross-sectional shape is vortex-like, with multiple folded lobes.

[0007] Furthermore, the end of the balloon furthest from the catheter has an arc-shaped end face.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible protrusion is made of medical cotton or the same material as the balloon.

[0009] Furthermore, when the flexible protrusion is made of the same material as the balloon, the flexible protrusion is integrally formed with the balloon.

[0010] Furthermore, the balloon is made of silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, or thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0011] Furthermore, the balloon is provided with a flushing chamber, and the surface of the balloon is provided with a flushing nozzle communicating with the flushing chamber. The conduit is provided with an independent inflation channel and a flushing channel. The inflation channel is connected to the inner cavity of the balloon and the inflation port. A flushing port is provided at the connector. The flushing port and the inflation port are independent of each other. The flushing channel is connected to the flushing chamber and the flushing port.

[0012] Furthermore, the flushing nozzle is located on the arc-shaped end face, the surface of the balloon opposite the catheter, or the outer periphery of the balloon.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the balloon is coated with a luminescent coating that emits different colors of light when it encounters viruses or bacteria.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model features an inflatable and elastic balloon with flexible protrusions on its surface. The balloon is inflated through a catheter, allowing it to fit against the vaginal wall after inflation. As the catheter is pulled outward, the balloon is slowly pulled out of the vagina. Simultaneously, the protrusions on the outer surface of the balloon wipe away and remove secretions from the vaginal wall. This allows for the cleaning of vaginal secretions before or after vaginal washing, or even directly, improving the cleaning effect. Due to its simple structure, it is also easy to operate.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses an elastic irregular cavity cleaning balloon catheter for cleaning vaginal secretions, including a balloon 1, a catheter 2, and a connector 3, wherein:

[0030] The balloon 1 is inflatable and elastic, and has an inner lumen that is connected to one end of the catheter 2. The inner lumen of the balloon 1 is in communication with the lumen of the catheter 2.

[0031] The other end of the catheter 2 is provided with a connector 3, and the connector 3 is provided with a pressure port 10 with a one-way valve. The pressure port 10 is connected to the lumen of the catheter 2. Several flexible protrusions 4 are provided on the surface of the balloon 1 to improve the cleaning ability.

[0032] Under normal conditions, balloon 1 is folded, and when folded, it resembles... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cross-sectional shape shown is vortex-like, with multiple folded flaps 6. This allows the folded balloon to have a smaller diameter, facilitating its entry into the cavity. As an example, the folded flaps 6 can be two or three flaps, but this invention is not limited to this; the number of flaps can be set according to the actual size of the balloon. Figure 4The five petals shown are arranged in a spiral fold, and the overall shape of the sac is a long cylindrical shape with conical ends to facilitate insertion through the vaginal opening.

[0033] Of course, depending on the needs of use, medication or cleaning solution can be applied to the surface of the folded balloon. It is even possible to apply medication or cleaning solution to the surface of the inflated balloon before folding it at the factory. This utility model does not make any specific limitations. Since the medication or cleaning solution has a lubricating effect, it can improve the smoothness of insertion into the vagina.

[0034] like Figure 10 As shown, after the folded balloon is inserted into the vagina, air is forced into the balloon 1 through the catheter 2 via an inflator connected to the inflator port 10, such as a syringe or a spherical balloon, causing the balloon 1 to inflate and expand. The outer periphery of the balloon 1 contacts the vaginal wall, and the flexible protrusion 4 also contacts the vaginal wall. Figure 11 As shown, the balloon is pulled outwards, and under the action of the outward pulling force, the flexible protrusion 4 carries the secretions remaining on the vaginal wall out of the vagina, thus cleaning the secretions in the vagina.

[0035] In this invention, the flexible protrusions 4 can be spaced apart and intermittently arranged along the circumference of the balloon 1; of course, it is preferable to arrange them as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the flexible protrusions 4 are annular and spaced apart along the circumference of the balloon 1 to form a receiving groove 5 between two adjacent flexible protrusions 4, which can collect secretions.

[0036] The flexible protrusion 4 can be made of medical cotton or the same material as the balloon 1. When medical cotton is used, it is compacted to form a certain shape and then fixed to the outer wall of the balloon 1 by adhesive. When the protrusion 4 is made of the same material as the balloon 1, the flexible protrusion 4 is integrally formed with the balloon 1. The balloon 1 is made of skin-friendly silicone, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the balloon 1 away from the catheter 2 has an arc-shaped end face 7 to avoid damage to the vaginal wall when inserted into the vagina.

[0038] The outer diameter of balloon 1 after inflation is larger than the diameter of the vagina in a relaxed state, which ensures that balloon 1 has full contact with the vaginal wall.

[0039] like Figure 5As shown, as an extension of this utility model, a flushing chamber 8 may be provided inside the balloon 1, and a flushing nozzle 9 communicating with the flushing chamber 8 is provided on the surface of the balloon 1. The catheter 2 is provided with an independent inflation channel 21 and a flushing channel 22. The inflation channel 21 connects the inner cavity of the balloon 1 and the inflation port 10. A flushing port 11 is provided on the connector 3. The flushing port 11 and the inflation port 10 are independent of each other. The flushing channel 22 connects the flushing chamber 8 and the flushing port 11 to achieve a deeper cleaning of the vagina.

[0040] The flushing fluid reaches the balloon 1 through the flushing port 11 and the flushing channel 22 and is sprayed out into the depths of the cavity through the flushing nozzle 9.

[0041] The flushing nozzle 9 can be evenly arranged around the circumference of the balloon 1; of course, it can also be set on the arc-shaped end face 7. Figure 6 ), the surface of one end of balloon 1 opposite to catheter 2 ( Figure 8 )superior.

[0042] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the flushing nozzle 9 is set on the arc-shaped end face 7, the flushing chamber 8 is set at the position of the arc-shaped end face 7 in the inner cavity of the balloon 1. The inflation chamber 8 is an independent space that is separately divided in the inner cavity of the balloon 1. It is independent of the rest of the inner cavity of the balloon 1. The flushing channel 22 extends into the balloon 1 and communicates with the flushing chamber 8.

[0043] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when the flushing nozzle 9 is located on the surface of the balloon 1 opposite to the conduit 2, a flushing chamber 8 is provided at this position in the inner cavity of the balloon 1. The inflation chamber 8 is an independent space that is separately divided in the inner cavity of the balloon 1. It is independent of the rest of the inner cavity of the balloon 1. The flushing channel 22 extends into the balloon 1 and communicates with the flushing chamber 8.

[0044] In this invention, the conduit 2 can be composed of two conduits of different diameters, which are coaxially arranged and form an air-filling channel 21 between the two conduits, and the lumen of the inner conduit forms a flushing channel 22.

[0045] like Figure 12 As shown, before use, apply medication (medicated solution, cleaning solution) to the outer wall of balloon 1, then insert it into the vagina, inflate balloon 1 with a syringe, and slowly pull out balloon 1 while inflated to complete the cleaning of vaginal secretions.

[0046] like Figure 13 As shown, the operation steps are as follows: after the balloon 1 is inserted into the vagina, the vagina is first rinsed by filling the rinsing port with rinsing fluid, and then the balloon 1 is inflated by the syringe. The balloon 1 is slowly pulled out under inflated state to complete the cleaning of vaginal secretions.

[0047] In this invention, the balloon 1 may also be coated with a luminescent coating on its surface. The luminescent coating emits different colors of light when it encounters viruses or bacteria, thereby enabling a preliminary judgment of the type of virus or bacteria based on the color.

[0048] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0049] 1. Highly effective cleaning, capable of penetrating deep into the vagina to thoroughly remove dirt and pathogens, effectively preventing and treating vaginal inflammation and other diseases.

[0050] 2. Gentle and non-irritating: The cleaning solution and tools used should be gentle and will not irritate or damage the vaginal mucosa, maintaining the vaginal pH balance and normal physiological function.

[0051] 3. It is simple and easy to operate, requiring no complicated operating skills, allowing women to easily complete the cleaning process at home.

[0052] 4. Hygiene and safety: Cleaning tools should be easy to clean and disinfect to avoid cross-infection and ensure that hygiene standards are met every time they are used.

[0053] 5. The application of new materials: Cleaning devices are made from soft, skin-friendly, and antibacterial materials, such as medical-grade silicone and nanomaterials, improving the comfort and safety of the devices. For example, some vaginal cleansers use soft silicone probes that better adapt to the shape of the vagina and reduce irritation to the mucous membrane. The application of coatings, such as those soaked in essential oils and scented, can immediately eliminate odors.

[0054] 6. Sterile packaging and single use: To ensure hygiene and safety, more and more vaginal cleansers are adopting sterile packaging and single-use designs, reducing the risk of infection.

[0055] 7. It can be used for preliminary detection. Based on the color displayed by the luminescent coating, the type of virus or bacteria can be preliminarily determined.
