Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, it relates to a gynecological intrauterine device placement simulation device with tactile feedback. Background Technology
[0002] The gynecological intrauterine device (IUD) placement simulation device plays a crucial role in bridging theory and clinical practice. Through multi-dimensional training, it significantly improves the quality of medical care and effectively balances ethical, safety, and economic factors, making it an indispensable tool in modern gynecological education and practice. Its main functions are reflected in the following key aspects: Skills training: The simulation device provides medical students and junior physicians with a zero-risk practice platform, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the anatomical locations and instrument operation procedures involved in IUD placement; Reducing patient risks: In actual clinical practice, insufficient physician proficiency can easily lead to a series of complications such as uterine perforation, infection, pain, or IUD displacement; Standardization of procedures: Through simulation training, standardized operating procedures are implemented, ensuring a high degree of consistency in technology across institutions and contributing to the overall standardization of the industry.
[0003] However, current gynecological intrauterine device (IUD) placement simulation devices generally have a significant shortcoming: they almost all lack tactile feedback functionality. This lack of functionality makes it impossible for operators to accurately judge the amount of pressure applied to the uterine wall during the IUD placement simulation operation, and whether this pressure will cause harm to the patient's body. This, to some extent, affects the degree of consistency between simulation training and actual clinical operation, and makes it difficult for operators to accurately control the risks of actual operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a gynecological intrauterine device placement simulation device with tactile feedback, thereby solving the problem that existing devices basically lack tactile feedback functionality.
[0005] This utility model relates to a gynecological intrauterine device placement simulation device with tactile feedback, achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0006] A gynecological intrauterine device placement simulation device with haptic feedback includes: a simulated uterine wall; the lower part of the simulated uterine wall is the cervical entrance, the upper left and right sides of the simulated uterine wall are connected to simulated fallopian tubes, the cavity inside the simulated uterine wall is the internal uterine cavity, the internal uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes are interconnected, an IUD is placed in the internal uterine cavity, a miniature pressure sensor is equipped inside the simulated uterine wall, and a data cable is connected to the upper side of the simulated uterine wall, the data cable is connected to an external computer.
[0007] Furthermore, a spherical cavity is provided on the inner side of the simulated uterine wall, and this spherical cavity is not connected to the internal uterine cavity.
[0008] Furthermore, each of the spherical cavities contains a rigid sphere, and the rigid sphere is separated from the internal uterine cavity by a thin membrane that simulates the uterine wall.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the rigid spheres is equipped with a miniature pressure sensor, and the outer side of the rigid sphere is in direct contact with the miniature pressure sensor.
[0010] Furthermore, both the rigid sphere and the micro pressure sensor are encased inside the simulated uterine wall, and neither of them will shift within the simulated uterine wall.
[0011] Furthermore, the simulated uterine wall and simulated fallopian tube 2 are highly similar to the real uterus and fallopian tube in terms of morphology and structure.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model incorporates a rigid sphere and a miniature pressure sensor inside a simulated uterine wall. When an operator performs a simulated IUD insertion procedure, the pressure generated by the contact between the IUD and the simulated uterine wall is transmitted to an external computer via a data cable. The external computer analyzes and calculates the acquired pressure data to determine whether the contact pressure will cause harm to the patient or exacerbate their pain during actual operation. This process helps operators improve their operational skills and refine their methods.
[0014] 2. By setting up simulated uterine walls and simulated fallopian tubes that are highly similar to those of a real uterus and fallopian tubes, this utility model can facilitate more accurate detection of contact pressure data and improve the technical requirements for operators.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0033] Example:
[0034] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0035] This utility model provides a gynecological intrauterine device placement simulation device with tactile feedback, comprising: a simulated uterine wall 1; characterized in that: the lower part of the simulated uterine wall 1 is the cervical entrance 5, the upper left and right sides of the simulated uterine wall 1 are connected to simulated fallopian tubes 2, the cavity inside the simulated uterine wall 1 is the internal uterine cavity 4, the internal uterine cavity 4 and the interior of the fallopian tubes 7 are interconnected, an IUD 10 is placed in the internal uterine cavity 4, a miniature pressure sensor 9 is equipped inside the simulated uterine wall 1, and a data cable 3 is connected to the upper side of the simulated uterine wall 1, the data cable 3 is connected to an external computer.
[0036] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, a spherical cavity 6 is provided on the inner side of the simulated uterine wall 1, and the spherical cavity 6 is not connected to the internal uterine cavity 4. A rigid sphere 8 is placed in each spherical cavity 6. The rigid sphere 8 is separated from the internal uterine cavity 4 by a thin film of the simulated uterine wall 1. A miniature pressure sensor 9 is installed on the outer side of each rigid sphere 8, and the outer side of the rigid sphere 8 is in direct contact with the miniature pressure sensor 9. Both the rigid sphere 8 and the miniature pressure sensor 9 are wrapped inside the simulated uterine wall 1, and the two will not shift within the simulated uterine wall 1. When the operator performs the simulated insertion of the IUD 10, the pressure generated by the IUD 10 touching the simulated uterine wall 1 is transmitted to an external computer via data cable 3. The external computer will analyze and calculate whether these contact pressures will cause harm or aggravate pain to the patient in actual operation, which is beneficial to the operator's skill level and improvement.
[0037] The simulated uterine wall 1 and simulated fallopian tube 2 are highly similar to the real uterus and fallopian tube in terms of morphology and structure, which can help to detect contact pressure data more accurately and improve the technical requirements of operators.
[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0039] In this invention, the data cable 3 is connected to an external computer, and the operator performs a simulated operation. During the operation, the IUD 10 will touch the internal simulated uterine wall 1, that is, touch the hard sphere 8. The hard sphere 8 transmits pressure to the micro pressure sensor 9. The pressure generated by the contact between the IUD 10 and the simulated uterine wall 1 will be transmitted to the external computer through the data cable 3. The external computer will analyze and calculate based on the obtained pressure data.
