Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a POP-Q scoring scale. Background Technology

[0002] Pelvic organ prolapse, classified as anterior vaginal wall prolapse, posterior vaginal wall prolapse, and uterine prolapse, is a common condition among middle-aged and elderly women. Due to damage or defects in the pelvic floor support structures, pelvic organs descend from their normal position along the vagina, and in severe cases, may protrude outside the vaginal opening. Pelvic organ prolapse is often accompanied by symptoms such as stress urinary incontinence, difficulty urinating, and urinary frequency, significantly impacting women's quality of life.

[0003] The POP-Q scoring system, developed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, is a quantitative method for assessing the degree of pelvic organ prolapse. POP-Q uses the hymen as a reference (0 point) and six points on the anterior, posterior, and apical vaginal walls as indicator points (two points Aa and Ba on the anterior wall, two points Ap and Bp on the posterior wall, and two points C and D on the apex). The change in position of these six points relative to the hymen is used as a scale to quantitatively assess the prolapse, helping doctors develop appropriate treatment plans. However, currently, there is no specific scoring scale in clinical practice for POP-Q scoring that can accurately measure the distance of pelvic organ prolapse. Clinically, doctors generally estimate the prolapse distance using regular cotton swabs or their fingers, which is inconvenient, time-consuming, and inaccurate. Some doctors even insert a steel ruler directly into the vagina for measurement, causing pain and discomfort to the patient.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a measuring ruler specifically for POP-Q scoring, so that medical staff can make a judgment on the prolapse of pelvic organs in patients and improve the accuracy and efficiency of measurement, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0043] Please see Figure 1-2This embodiment provides a POP-Q scoring scale, which includes a first telescopic rod 1, a second telescopic rod 2, a support rod 3, and an adjusting handle 4. The second telescopic rod 2 has a threaded sleeve 21 inside, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the second telescopic rod 2. The bottom of the first telescopic rod 1 has a first threaded hole 11, which is threadedly connected to the other end of the threaded sleeve 21. The first telescopic rod 1 is slidably connected inside the second telescopic rod 2. The support rod 3 has a transmission screw 31 inside, one end of which is movably connected to the bottom of the support rod 3. The bottom of the second telescopic rod 2 has a second threaded hole 22, which is threadedly connected to the other end of the transmission screw 31. The second telescopic rod 2 is slidably connected inside the support rod 3. The adjusting handle 4 is located at the bottom of the support rod 3, and one end of the transmission screw 31 passes through and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 3 and the adjusting handle 4. The surface of the second telescopic rod 2 has scale lines 23.

[0044] Specifically, this utility model provides a POP-Q scoring scale, including a first telescopic rod 1, a second telescopic rod 2, a support rod 3, and an adjusting handle 4. The second telescopic rod 2 has a threaded sleeve 21 inside, and the first telescopic rod 1 is threadedly connected to the other end of the threaded sleeve 21 through a first threaded hole 11 at the bottom, enabling the first telescopic rod 1 to slide up and down inside the second telescopic rod 2. The support rod 3 has a transmission screw 31 inside, and the second telescopic rod 2 is threadedly connected to the other end of the transmission screw 31 through a second threaded hole 22 at the bottom, enabling the second telescopic rod 2 to slide up and down inside the support rod 3. The internal sliding connection of rod 3 is functional; the adjustment handle 4 is located at the bottom of the support rod 3, and one end of the transmission screw 31 passes through the bottom of the support rod 3 and is fixedly connected to the adjustment handle 4, so as to control the extension amount of the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 by rotating the adjustment handle 4, which is convenient for medical staff to operate quickly; the surface of the second telescopic rod 2 is provided with scale lines 23, which makes it easy for medical staff to read the values ​​clearly during use; in this way, a measuring ruler specifically for POP-Q scoring is constructed, which makes it easier for medical staff to judge the pelvic organ prolapse of patients and improves the accuracy and efficiency of measurement.

[0045] During use, medical staff can simultaneously extend the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 by rotating the adjustment handle 4. At this time, during POP-Q scoring, the medical staff first locates the patient's 0 point and places the POP-Q scoring scale at that point for preparation. Then, the medical staff can manually rotate the adjustment handle 4 to slowly extend the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2, carefully feeling the resistance of the first telescopic rod 1 during the extension process. When the resistance increases, the medical staff can determine whether the head of the first telescopic rod 1 is in contact with the required contact point. The other point to be found (for example, when determining the prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall, the other point is two points Aa and Ba on the anterior vaginal wall; when determining the prolapse of the posterior vaginal wall, the other point is two points Ap and Bp on the posterior vaginal wall; when determining the prolapse of the uterus, the other point is two points C and D at the top of the vagina), once this other point is confirmed, the POP-Q scoring scale is taken out. Medical staff can directly see the length between point 0 and the target point through the reading on scale line 23, thereby determining whether the anterior vaginal wall prolapse, posterior vaginal wall prolapse, and uterine prolapse have occurred and the different levels of prolapse.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the top of the first telescopic rod 1 is provided with a semi-circular contact head 12; the contact head 12 is made of silicone material.

[0047] Specifically, since the POP-Q scoring scale needs to be inserted into the patient's vagina for testing, the contact head 12 is designed as a semi-circular structure. The rounded contact head 12 avoids the sharp structure from causing a hard sensation to the patient's vagina. As an alternative, the contact head 12 is made of silicone material to improve the patient's comfort.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the outer wall of the first telescopic rod 1 is provided with a first positioning post 13, and the inner wall of the second telescopic rod 2 is provided with a first positioning groove 24; the size of the first positioning post 13 is adapted to the size of the first positioning groove 24; the outer wall of the second telescopic rod 2 is provided with a second positioning post 24, and the inner wall of the support rod 3 is provided with a second positioning groove 32; the size of the second positioning post 24 is adapted to the size of the second positioning groove 32.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the first positioning post 13 and the first positioning groove 24 restrict the circumferential rotation of the first telescopic rod 1. When the threaded sleeve rod 21 rotates, the first telescopic rod 1 is prevented from rotating together with the threaded sleeve rod 21, thus realizing the function of the first telescopic rod 1 moving up and down relative to the second telescopic rod 2. The second positioning post 24 and the second positioning groove 32 restrict the circumferential rotation of the second telescopic rod 2. When the transmission screw 31 rotates, the second telescopic rod 2 is prevented from rotating together with the transmission screw 31, thus realizing the function of the second telescopic rod 2 moving up and down relative to the support rod 3.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the sum of the extension lengths of the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 is adapted to the range of the scale line 23.

[0051] Specifically, since the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 rotate out simultaneously when the adjustment handle 4 is rotated, the sum of the rotation amount of the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 is a fixed value for each rotation of the adjustment handle 4. Therefore, the range suitable for use with the POP-Q scoring scale can be constructed by matching the length of the screw, the rotation of the adjustment handle 4 and the range of the scale line 23.

[0052] In some possible implementations, the POP-Q scoring scale also includes a protective cover 5, which is fitted over the outside of the support rod 3, and the bottom of the protective cover 5 is detachably snapped into the bottom of the support rod 3.

[0053] Specifically, by setting the protective cover 5, when the POP-Q scoring scale is in an idle state, the protective cover 5 can be put on the outside of the support rod 3 to protect the POP-Q scoring scale and prevent contamination.

[0054] In some possible implementations, the outer diameter of the transmission screw 31 is matched with the inner diameter of the threaded sleeve 21; one end of the threaded sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second telescopic rod 2 by a locating pin 26.

[0055] Specifically, the outer diameter of the transmission screw 31 is matched with the inner diameter of the threaded sleeve 21 so that the transmission screw 31 can slide smoothly and without obstruction into the threaded sleeve 21 when it slides upward.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the adjustment handle 4 is provided with an anti-slip grip ring on the outside.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the anti-slip grip ring increases the friction when medical staff squeeze the adjustment handle 4 to rotate, thereby improving adjustment efficiency.

[0058] In some possible implementations, the scale range is 0–12 cm.

[0059] Specifically, due to the different vaginal lengths of different patients and the measurement and judgment criteria of the POP-Q scoring scale, the range of the scale line is set to 0-12cm, which facilitates the measurement and judgment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse, posterior vaginal wall prolapse, and uterine prolapse in different patients.
