Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical consumables technology, specifically relating to a digital rectal examination glove with self-lubricating function. Background Technology

[0002] Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) is a routine examination method in which a doctor directly palpates the anus, rectum, and adjacent organs (such as the prostate) with their fingers. It is characterized by its speed, non-invasiveness, and low cost, serving as the "first line of defense" in screening for anorectal and prostate diseases. To ensure the health and safety of both patients and doctors, doctors must wear gloves during the examination and apply lubricant to the corresponding areas of the fingers used for the examination to minimize patient discomfort.

[0003] The current method of applying lubricant presents several inconveniences. Typically, after donning gloves, doctors must use disposable items such as cotton swabs to apply lubricant to the gloves. This method is not only cumbersome but also often results in uneven application, affecting the examination experience and accuracy.

[0004] To address this issue, existing technologies have made improvements, such as the digital rectal examination glove disclosed in patent publication number CN219921211U. This glove features a lubricant reservoir in the palm, allowing doctors to squeeze lubricant onto their thumb and then apply it to their index finger. This design simplifies the process of applying lubricant to the fingers.

[0005] However, different doctors have different operating habits when performing digital rectal examinations. While this glove makes it easy to apply lubricant to the index finger, it is not flexible enough for doctors who are accustomed to using their middle finger. If a doctor tries to bypass the index finger and apply lubricant directly to the middle finger, some lubricant will inevitably remain on the index finger, which may be accidentally applied to the patient's skin during subsequent examinations, causing discomfort. In addition, spreading the lubricant evenly on the fingers takes time, further affecting the efficiency of the examination.

[0006] In conclusion, although existing technologies have improved finger examination gloves, limitations remain, and they cannot fully meet the operating habits and needs of different doctors. Therefore, it is necessary to continue exploring more optimized and improved design solutions. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention proposes a digital rectal examination glove with self-lubricating function.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A self-lubricating digital rectal examination glove includes a palm and fingers. An annular liquid reservoir is provided on the first proximal phalanx of the fingers near the palm. The annular liquid reservoir stores medical lubricant, and the surface of the annular liquid reservoir has an easy-tear dotted line structure.

[0010] The annular liquid storage component is positioned on the index or middle finger.

[0011] The annular liquid storage component includes an annular body, with both ends of the annular body fixedly connected to the surface of the finger. A strip-shaped hole is provided in the middle of the annular body, and a guide strip is connected to the strip-shaped hole through an easy-tear dotted line structure.

[0012] The annular liquid storage component includes an annular body with both ends fixedly connected to the finger surface. A plurality of overflow holes are arranged in a ring shape in the middle of the annular body, and the surface of the overflow holes is covered with a tear-guide strip. The tear-guide strip is connected to the finger surface through an easy-tear dotted line structure.

[0013] The end of the tear strip is provided with a semi-circular edge.

[0014] The annular liquid storage component is made of rubber latex material.

[0015] The gloves are made of latex material.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] Overall, compared to existing technologies, this utility model provides a digital rectal examination glove with a self-lubricating function. By incorporating a ring-shaped fluid reservoir at the proximal first joint of the finger near the palm, the physician, before the examination, puts on the glove and pulls open the easy-tear perforated structure to allow the internal lubricant to overflow along the circumference of the finger. With the assistance of the other hand, the lubricant is then applied to the entire finger, allowing for a quick start to the examination. This significantly reduces the physician's preparation time, further shortening the patient's examination time and reducing the physician's workload. Furthermore, two implementation methods for the ring-shaped fluid reservoir are provided, making it easier for medical personnel to tear open the guide strip and release the internal lubricant. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Additionally, the ring-shaped fluid reservoir is available in two models, one for the index finger and one for the middle finger. Physicians can choose the model with the ring-shaped fluid reservoir on their index finger or middle finger according to their operating habits, enhancing its practicality.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a self-lubricating digital rectal examination glove. This glove aims to simplify the digital rectal examination process, improve efficiency, reduce the workload of doctors, and shorten the examination time for patients. The following is a detailed explanation of this embodiment:

[0025] See Figure 1 , 2 It includes: a palm part 1 and a finger part 2. The design of the finger part 2 is particularly unique, as it has a ring-shaped liquid reservoir 3 located near the proximal first phalanx of the palm part 1;

[0026] A specific embodiment of the annular liquid storage component 3 is provided:

[0027] Location: This part is located at the proximal first phalanx of finger 2, that is, the part where the finger meets the palm.

[0028] Function: The annular reservoir 3 stores medical lubricant 4. This is to provide lubrication during digital rectal examination to reduce patient discomfort and pain.

[0029] Material: The annular liquid storage component 3 is made of rubber latex, which has good sealing and elasticity, ensuring the stability and ease of use of the lubricant during storage and release.

[0030] Structure: For ease of use, the surface of the annular reservoir 3 is designed with an easy-tear perforated structure 5. The reservoir can be easily torn open when needed to release the internal lubricant.

[0031] How to use

[0032] Preparation phase: The physician puts on gloves before performing a digital rectal examination.

[0033] Lubricant release: By pulling open the easy-tear dotted line structure 5, the doctor can allow the internal lubricant to overflow downwards along the circumference of the finger 2.

[0034] Applying lubricant: With the assistance of the other hand, the doctor can evenly apply the excess lubricant to the entire finger.

[0035] Begin the digital examination: Once the finger 2 is adequately lubricated, the physician can quickly begin the digital examination process.

[0036] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0037] Reduced preparation time: Because the lubricant is pre-stored in the gloves and is easy to release and apply, the physician's preparation time is greatly reduced.

[0038] Improved efficiency: The rapid application of lubricant means that the finger inspection process can be carried out more quickly, thereby improving the overall inspection efficiency.

[0039] Reduced workload: These gloves reduce the number of steps physicians need to perform during preparation, thus reducing their workload.

[0040] Enhancing the patient experience: Even application of lubricant helps reduce discomfort during digital rectal examination and improves the overall patient experience.

[0041] In conclusion, this self-lubricating digital rectal examination glove, through its unique design, brings significant benefits to both physicians and patients. It simplifies the examination process, improves efficiency, and helps enhance patient satisfaction and comfort.

[0042] You can choose any of the following lubricants:

[0043] 1. Medical sterile water-based lubricants: such as KY gel and Surgilube, are widely used in the medical and health industry because they are safe, non-irritating, and compatible with latex gloves.

[0044] 2. Lubricants containing local anesthetics: such as lidocaine gel, tetracaine gel, etc., because they have a surface anesthetic effect, thereby reducing anal sphincter tension or pain during examination (such as in patients with anal fissures).

[0045] 3. Antibacterial lubricants: such as Surgical lubricants, due to their antibacterial components, are suitable for procedures where there is a risk of perianal infection (such as palpation of perianal abscesses).

[0046] Optionally, the gloves can be constructed entirely of latex, a material known for its elasticity and abrasion resistance, ensuring the physician's dexterity and comfort during digital rectal examinations. Latex also possesses antibacterial properties, helping to reduce the risk of cross-infection.

[0047] Optionally, the annular reservoir 3 can be positioned on the index finger or the middle finger. This allows physicians to choose the appropriate model based on their operating habits, allowing for greater practicality.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Example 2 is a further optimization based on the technology of Example 1. Specifically, this example describes in detail the specific structure of the annular liquid storage component 3, making it more convenient and efficient in practical applications.

[0050] See Figure 3-5 The main body of the reservoir component 3 is a ring-shaped body 6, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the finger portion 2 at both ends, such as by welding or other reliable connection methods. This fixed connection ensures the stability and durability of the ring-shaped reservoir component 3 on the glove. A strip-shaped hole 7 is provided in the middle of the ring-shaped body 6. The function of this strip-shaped hole 7 is to provide a channel in which the internal lubricant can accumulate and be released through the easy-tear perforated structure 5 when needed. A guide strip 8 is connected to the strip-shaped hole 7 through the easy-tear perforated structure 5. This guide strip 8 is designed to make it easier for medical personnel to tear open the easy-tear perforated structure 5 to release the lubricant.

[0051] The easy-tear dotted line structure 5 connects the strip hole 7 and the guide strip 8, allowing medical staff to easily tear the guide strip 8 along this line. The end of the guide strip 8 has a semi-circular edge 10. This semi-circular edge 10 is designed to provide a more comfortable grip point, making it easier for medical staff to pull the guide strip 8 smoothly along the easy-tear dotted line structure 5 by holding this edge with their fingers.

[0052] In summary, Example 2, through further optimization of the specific structure of the annular liquid reservoir 3, makes this self-lubricating digital rectal examination glove more convenient and efficient in practical applications. It simplifies the operation process, improves the user experience, and ensures the glove's reliability and durability.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] Example 3, based on the previous examples, further innovates the structure of the annular liquid reservoir 3, aiming to improve the release efficiency of the lubricant and the ease of use.

[0055] See Figure 6 , 7 The specific structure of the annular liquid storage component 3 includes the following:

[0056] Ring 6: The main body of the annular reservoir 3 is still a ring 6, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the finger 2 at both ends, such as by welding or other reliable connection methods. This connection method ensures the stability and durability of the annular reservoir 3 on the glove.

[0057] Overflow holes 9: Several overflow holes 9 are provided in the middle of the annular body 6. The function of these overflow holes 9 is to allow lubricant to overflow from these holes when needed, thereby evenly applying it to the finger 2. Compared with the previous embodiment, this design provides more lubricant release points, resulting in a more uniform distribution of lubricant.

[0058] Tear-guide strip 8 and easy-tear dotted line structure 5: A tear-guide strip 8 is provided on the surface of the overflow hole 9. This tear-guide strip 8 is connected to the surface of the finger portion 2 via the easy-tear dotted line structure 5. The design of the easy-tear dotted line structure 5 allows medical personnel to easily tear open the tear-guide strip 8 when needed, thereby exposing the overflow hole 9 and allowing the lubricant to overflow smoothly.

[0059] How to use

[0060] Preparation phase: Before performing a digital rectal examination, the physician puts on gloves and ensures that the annular reservoir 3 has been correctly installed on the finger 2.

[0061] Lubricant Release: When lubricant needs to be released, the physician can gently tear the guide strip 8 along the easy-tear dotted line structure 5 with their fingers. During this process, lubricant will overflow from the exposed overflow hole 9 and flow down the circumference of the finger 2.

[0062] Applying lubricant: With the assistance of the other hand, the doctor can evenly apply the overflowing lubricant to the entire finger 2. Due to the design of the overflow hole 9, the lubricant can cover the entire finger 2 more quickly, improving application efficiency.

[0063] Begin the digital examination: Once the finger 2 is adequately lubricated, the physician can quickly begin the digital examination process.

[0064] In summary, Example 3, by further optimizing the structure of the annular liquid reservoir 3, improves the lubricant release efficiency and ease of use. This design makes the self-lubricated digital rectal examination glove more efficient, convenient, and comfortable in practical applications.

[0065] It should be noted that the academic name for the aforementioned easy-tear dotted line structure 5 is usually "easy-tear line" or "tear line". This is a dotted or dashed line structure specially designed on plastic packaging bags (and other materials such as self-adhesive labels), whose main function is to make it easy for users to tear the packaging bag easily and accurately, avoiding tearing off-center or causing damage.
