Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to an enema device suitable for small-volume non-retention enemas of various solutions. Background Technology

[0002] Small-volume non-retention enemas are a commonly used clinical technique for relieving constipation. They are often used by the elderly, pregnant women, children, people with long-term difficulty in defecation, and patients after abdominal surgery. The purpose is to promote defecation. Commonly used solutions include "1, 2, 3" (30 ml of 50% magnesium sulfate, 60 ml of glycerin, and 90 ml of warm water). By adjusting the dosage of different solutions, one solution can be used to fully soften the stool before injecting different solutions. This can better lubricate the front of the stool, reduce damage to the rectum and anus caused by hard stool, and achieve maximum therapeutic effect.

[0003] Aside from hospitalized patients, many people choose to perform enemas at home. However, currently used disposable enema devices often mix solutions in a single container, resulting in varying solutions of different densities. This makes the order in which solutions are injected into the rectum uncontrollable, delaying the onset of the urge to defecate and reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0004] Patent CN201631768U discloses a three-way adjustable enema device, including a bag-shaped liquid guide and its connected liquid guide tube, a liquid drainer and its connected liquid drain tube, and an anal tube. The top of the bag-shaped liquid guide forms an open liquid inlet, and the two side walls extend upward to form hanging handles respectively. The bag-shaped liquid drainer has a through hole for the through strap, and the bottom of the bag-shaped liquid drainer is provided with a liquid drain switch. A three-way adjusting valve with a rotary valve handle is provided between the liquid guide tube, the liquid drain tube and the anal tube.

[0005] The device exhibits a phenomenon where different solutions mix within the anal canal. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the above problems, the technical approach adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The design allows different solutions to be injected into the rectum through different pathways, avoiding mixing.

[0008] The specific plan is as follows:

[0009] An enema device suitable for small-volume, non-retention enemas with multiple solutions includes: an enema tube having three cavities, each cavity corresponding to a syringe for separately injecting multiple solutions; a connector and a syringe, one end of the connector being connected to the end of the enema tube and the other end being connected to the syringe, and having channels that respectively mate with the three cavities.

[0010] To achieve the above solution, a preferred solution is that the enema tube includes: an outer tube with an internal cavity; an inner tube placed inside the cavity, coaxial with the outer tube, and having a first cavity inside; and a partition layer, wherein a set of partition layers are arranged longitudinally inside the cavity; wherein the partition layer separates the cavity to form a second cavity and a third cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the length of the inner tube is greater than the length of the outer tube.

[0012] Furthermore, both the inner tube and the outer tube have several enema ports at their ends away from the connector.

[0013] Another preferred embodiment is that the connector has three ports at one end near the enema tube and three injection ports at the other end; the three ports are respectively matched with the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity; and the three injection ports are respectively matched with the syringe.

[0014] Preferably, the port and the injection port are connected in a one-to-one correspondence to form a channel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0016] An enema device suitable for small-volume, non-retention enemas with multiple solutions includes: an enema tube with three cavities, each cavity corresponding to a syringe for separately injecting multiple solutions; a connector and an enema syringe, one end of the connector being connected to the end of the enema tube and the other end to the syringe, and having channels that respectively mate with the three cavities. Using the syringe to inject the solutions into the enema tube through the connector allows for small-volume control of the solution and increased enema pressure; different solutions are injected into the rectum through different cavities, avoiding solution mixing and allowing control over the order of solution injection into the rectum. This utility model's enema device for small-volume, non-retention enemas with multiple solutions has a reasonable structural design, which can both fully soften the stool and better lubricate the front of the stool, reducing damage to the rectum and anus caused by hard stool, achieving maximum therapeutic effect, and improving patient comfort and compliance.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the appendices in the embodiments of this application will be described below. Figure 1-6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this application, but not all embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms “set up,” “install,” “connect,” and “link” should be interpreted broadly. Example

[0029] Enemas are a very common clinical procedure. Depending on the purpose of the enema, they can be divided into retention enemas and non-retention enemas. Non-retention enemas are further divided into large-volume non-retention enemas and small-volume non-retention enemas.

[0030] Both non-retention enemas and retention enemas can relieve constipation and remove toxins from the intestines, but they differ in that the two are not the same. A non-retention enema involves immediately flushing out the enema solution, such as saline or warm soapy water. A retention enema, on the other hand, involves retaining the enema solution in the body for a period of time before flushing it out.

[0031] To achieve the purpose of bowel cleansing, repeated use of large-volume non-retention enemas is called a cleansing enema. Large-volume non-retention enemas and cleansing enemas are often used clinically for bowel preparation. For relieving constipation, small-volume non-retention enemas and simple methods of relieving constipation (such as glycerin suppositories, glycerin suppositories, etc.) are more commonly used.

[0032] The inventors discovered that currently used disposable enema devices often mix solutions in one container, resulting in different solution densities. The order in which solutions are injected into the rectum is uncontrollable, delaying the patient's urge to defecate and reducing the effectiveness of treatment.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an enema device suitable for small-volume, non-retention enemas of various solutions, provided in an embodiment of this application. This application provides an enema device suitable for small-volume, non-retention enemas of various solutions, comprising: an enema tube 1 having three cavities, each cavity corresponding to a syringe for separately injecting various solutions; a connector 2 and an enema syringe 3, one end of the connector 2 being connected to the end of the enema tube 1, and the other end being connected to the syringe 3, and having channels that respectively mate with the three cavities.

[0034] Using syringe 3 to inject the solution into enema tube 1 through connector 2 allows for small-volume control of the solution and increases in enema pressure. Different solutions are injected into the rectum through different cavities to avoid mixing and to control the order of injection. This ensures that the solution fully softens the stool while using other solutions or lubricants to reduce damage to the anus or rectum, increasing patient comfort and compliance, thereby promoting defecation and relieving constipation.

[0035] The enema syringe 3 is a common existing technology that can be implemented by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the enema tube provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3This is a side view of the enema tube provided in the embodiment of this application. The silicone enema tube 1 includes: an outer tube 11 with an internal receiving cavity; an inner tube 12 placed inside the receiving cavity, coaxial with the outer tube 11, and having a first cavity 12A inside; and a partition 13, with a set of partitions 13 arranged longitudinally inside the receiving cavity; wherein the partitions 13 divide the receiving cavity to form a second cavity 11A and a third cavity 11B.

[0037] Preferably, the inner tube 12 and the outer tube 11 are provided with a number of circular enema ports in the longitudinal direction at the ends away from the connector 2. This application does not limit the specific number and size of the enema ports, and those skilled in the art should make adjustments according to actual needs.

[0038] The outer tube 11 is 15-20cm long, and its inner diameter is larger than that of the inner tube 12. The inner tube 12 is longer than the outer tube 11. The side of the inner tube 12 closest to the connector 2 is flush with the outer tube 11, which makes it easy to connect with the connector 2. The side of the inner tube 12 closest to the enema opening is staggered with the outer tube 11, which makes it easy to fully soften the feces.

[0039] The partition 13 is long and strip-shaped, the same length as the outer tube 11, and made of plastic. One side of the partition 13 is welded or bonded to the inner diameter of the outer tube 11, and the other side is welded or bonded to the outer diameter of the inner tube 12, which can prevent the enema tube 1 from folding.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connector structure provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is provided by the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 Perspective view, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the connector from another perspective provided in the embodiments of this application. The end of the enema tube 1 away from the enema port is fitted with a connector 2. The connector 2 is cylindrical and integrally formed. The end of the connector 2 near the enema tube 1 has three independent ports 21, and the other end has three injection ports 22. The three ports 21 are respectively matched with the first cavity 12A, the second cavity 11A, and the third cavity 11B and are inserted into the cavities of the above three cavities. The three injection ports 22 are respectively matched with the syringe 3.

[0041] The three ports 21 are two arc-shaped plug segments arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom, and a circular plug segment arranged in the middle; the two arc-shaped plug segments are inserted into the second cavity 11A and the third cavity 11B respectively, and the circular plug segment is inserted into the first cavity 12A; two clearance grooves are provided between the two arc-shaped plug segments for cooperating with the partition 13.

[0042] It should be noted that both the arc-shaped and circular connector segments are hollow.

[0043] Preferably, port 21 and injection port 22 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence to form channels, and the outer walls of the channels are connected to each other and integrally formed, so as to facilitate the connection of connector 2 and enema tube 1.

[0044] The injection port 22 is circular and matches the output end of the enema syringe 3, so that the output end of the syringe 3 can be inserted into the injection port 22.

[0045] An enema device suitable for small-volume, non-retention enemas with multiple solutions is disclosed, comprising: an enema tube with three cavities, each cavity corresponding to a syringe for separately injecting multiple solutions; a connector and an enema syringe, one end of the connector being connected to the end of the enema tube and the other end to the syringe, and having channels that respectively mate with the three cavities. Using the syringe to inject solutions into the enema tube through the connector allows for small-volume control of the solution and increased enema pressure; different solutions are injected into the rectum through different cavities, avoiding mixing and allowing control over the order of solution injection into the rectum. This ensures sufficient softening of the stool while minimizing damage to the anus or rectum by utilizing other solutions or lubricants, increasing patient comfort and compliance, thereby promoting defecation and relieving constipation.

[0046] Application process

[0047] When using the enema, place different solutions into 100ml measuring cups respectively (whether the solutions need to be heated depends on the doctor's instructions). After drawing up the different solutions with the enema syringe 33, insert it into the injection port 22. Lubricate the front ends of the outer tube 11 and the inner tube 12, remove the air from the tubes, clamp the enema tube 1 with tweezers and insert it into the anus. Release the tweezers and inject one solution through the first cavity 12A to fully soften the feces. Then inject the other solutions in sequence through the second cavity 11A or the third cavity 11B.

[0048] This utility model discloses an enema device with a reasonable structural design suitable for small-volume non-retention enemas using various solutions. It can not only fully soften the stool with the solution, but also better lubricate the front end of the stool, reducing damage to the rectum and anus caused by hard stool, achieving maximum therapeutic effect, and improving patient comfort and compliance.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
