Urethral administration device
By designing a three-lumen tube structure for the urethral drug delivery device, the balloon dilates the urethra while the reservoir in the balloon expels the medication, solving the problem that urethral dilation cannot be combined with drug delivery in existing technologies. This achieves comfortable simultaneous urethral dilation and drug delivery, promoting the healing of urethral strictures.

AI Technical Summary
Existing urethral dilation methods, such as urethral metal probes and three-lumen two-balloon tubes, cannot simultaneously achieve dilation and drug administration, resulting in patient suffering and poor efficacy.
Design a urethral drug delivery device with a three-lumen tube structure, connecting a balloon and a cylindrical balloon, and an opening in the reservoir. By filling the reservoir with water, the balloon inflates to dilate the urethra, while the cylindrical balloon is located at the narrow point. The reservoir is squeezed out under pressure to deliver the drug, thus achieving simultaneous dilation and drug delivery.
This allows for simultaneous drug administration during urethral dilation, reducing patient discomfort, improving treatment efficacy, preventing excessive granulation tissue formation at the stricture site, and promoting healing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urethral drug delivery device technology, specifically to a urethral drug delivery device. Background Technology
[0002] Male urethral stricture is a common urological condition, which can be classified into three categories according to its etiology: congenital, inflammatory, and traumatic. Severe urethral stricture can lead to hydronephrosis and kidney damage. Some cases may be complicated by periurethritis, periurethral abscess, or even rupture into the scrotum and perineum, forming a persistent urethral fistula. Urinary tract and genital tract infections are also common complications.
[0003] Male urethral stricture requires urethral dilation, and the effect is better when combined with medication. A common current practice is to dilate the urethra using a metal urethral probe, but this method is uncomfortable and often causes unnecessary pain for the patient. Another method involves inserting a three-lumen two-balloon tube into the urethra, with one balloon positioned at the stricture. Repeated inflation of the balloon dilates the stricture. However, current three-lumen two-balloon tubes lack a balloon with medication delivery capability, making it impossible to administer medication simultaneously with repeated inflation, which is a drawback. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a urethral delivery device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model discloses a urethral drug delivery device, comprising a three-lumen tube, wherein the three-lumen tube is provided with a balloon and a cylindrical balloon connected together, the balloon being close to the output end of the three-lumen tube, and the cylindrical balloon being located behind the balloon and spaced 5-12 cm apart, the cylindrical balloon being 3 cm long and having a maximum diameter of 8 mm;
[0007] The sac has several inwardly recessed liquid storage chambers, and the liquid storage chambers have openings facing the side of the sac.
[0008] As an improvement, the liquid storage cavity is spherical, the opening is circular, and the opening is smaller than the spherical surface of the liquid storage cavity.
[0009] As an improvement, the opening diameter is less than 2 mm, and the liquid storage chamber diameter is less than 3 mm.
[0010] As an improvement, the balloon, the cylindrical balloon, and the three-lumen tube are fixedly connected.
[0011] As an improvement, the liquid storage chamber is provided with a fixedly connected soft towel or sponge.
[0012] The advantages of this invention compared with the prior art are as follows: the capsule is pre-filled with water through one of the openings of the three-lumen tube, so that the liquid storage chamber is squeezed and closes the opening. Then the capsule is placed into the liquid medicine, and the capsule is drained of water to a natural state (relaxation). The liquid storage chamber automatically returns to a spherical shape (natural state) and simultaneously draws the liquid medicine into the interior, thus completing the filling process.
[0013] During urethral dilation, the three-lumen two-balloon tube is inserted into the urethra, and the balloon is inserted into the bladder. When inflated with water, it acts as a support. The balloon is located at the urethral stricture and is inflated with water to the appropriate diameter. During the indwelling time, the balloon is repeatedly inflated and deflated. During this process, the reservoir is compressed, forcing the internal medication out of the opening. This achieves dilation of the urethral stricture while simultaneously administering medication to repair and reshape it, preventing excessive granulation tissue formation during the healing process, which could lead to further stricture. After a period of time, the three-lumen two-balloon tube is removed, and the urethral stricture is dilated.
[0014] This urethral medication delivery device has multiple fluid storage chambers around the balloon to store medication. When the balloon is inflated, the medication is automatically squeezed out, achieving a better urethral dilation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0026] This embodiment is combined with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 This paper provides a detailed description of a urethral delivery device.
[0027] This embodiment provides a urethral drug delivery device, including a three-lumen tube 1. The three-lumen tube 1 is provided with a balloon 2 and a cylindrical balloon 3 that are connected. The balloon 2 is close to the output end of the three-lumen tube 1, and the cylindrical balloon 3 is located behind the balloon 2 and spaced 5 to 12 centimeters apart. The cylindrical balloon 3 is 3 centimeters long and has a maximum diameter of 8 millimeters.
[0028] The sac 3 is provided with several liquid storage chambers 4 that are recessed inward from the side, and the liquid storage chambers 4 have openings 5 facing the side of the sac 3.
[0029] The liquid storage cavity 4 is spherical, and the opening 5 is circular, with the opening 5 being smaller than the spherical surface of the liquid storage cavity 4.
[0030] The diameter of the opening 5 is less than 2 mm, and the diameter of the liquid storage chamber 4 is less than 3 mm.
[0031] The balloon 2, the cylindrical balloon 3, and the three-lumen tube 1 are fixedly connected.
[0032] The liquid storage chamber 4 contains a fixedly connected soft towel or sponge.
[0033] In practice, water is first filled into the bladder 3 through one of the openings of the three-lumen tube 1, so that the liquid storage chamber 3 is squeezed and adheres to the opening 4. Then, the bladder 3 is placed into the liquid, and water is drained from the bladder 3 to its natural state (relaxation). The liquid storage chamber 3 automatically returns to its spherical shape (natural state) and simultaneously draws the liquid into its interior, thus completing the filling process.
[0034] During urethral dilation, the three-lumen two-balloon tube is inserted into the urethra, and balloon 2 is inserted into the bladder and inflated with water to act as a support. Balloon 3 is located at the urethral stricture and is inflated with water to a suitable diameter. During the indwelling time, water is repeatedly inflated and deflated. During this process, the reservoir 3 is compressed, causing the internal medication to be squeezed out from the opening 4. This achieves dilation of the urethral stricture while simultaneously administering medication to repair and reshape it, preventing excessive granulation tissue formation during the healing process and thus preventing further stenosis. After a period of time, the three-lumen two-balloon tube is removed, and the urethral stricture is dilated.
[0035] The liquid storage chamber 4 contains a fixedly connected soft towel or sponge, which can increase the adsorption and slow release properties of the liquid medicine.
[0036] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the actual scope of protection is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
