Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, specifically to a novel rectal support device. Background Technology

[0002] Rectal prolapse is mainly caused by surgery, nerve damage, constipation, and other diseases. The main symptom is a mass protruding from the anus. Initially, the mass is small and protrudes during defecation, spontaneously reducing its position afterward. Later, the mass protrudes more frequently and increases in size, requiring manual repositioning after defecation, accompanied by incomplete bowel movements and a feeling of heaviness. Eventually, it may prolapse even during coughing, straining, or standing. As the prolapse worsens, it can cause varying degrees of anal incontinence. Although rectal prolapse does not directly threaten life, it causes physical and psychological suffering, severely interfering with normal life and work. Treatment for rectal prolapse varies depending on age and severity, primarily focusing on eliminating the triggering factors. Sclerotherapy is often used to treat mucosal prolapse in adults; complete rectal prolapse in adults is mainly treated surgically. Surgical treatment carries a significant economic and psychological burden on patients and may lead to secondary complications. To improve patients' quality of life, it is necessary to provide a non-surgical approach to alleviate symptoms. Utility Model Content

[0026] A novel rectal support device includes a support body and an insertion mechanism. The support body is made of an elastic material and has two states: an insertion state and a working state. In the insertion state, the support body is inserted into the rectum under the action of the insertion mechanism, and the support body and the insertion mechanism can be detached and connected. In the working state, the support body is detached from the insertion mechanism, and its outer contour extends along the rectal axis and abuts against the inner wall of the rectum. The top of the support body is concave.

[0027] Furthermore, the support body is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support body is made of elastic silicone and includes a support portion 11, a handle 12, and a limiting portion 13. The support portion 11 is cup-shaped in the working state, for example, in the form of... Figure 1 The cylindrical cup shape shown or like Figure 2 The support body is shaped like an inverted cone cup. A support ring 14 is provided at the end of the support portion 11, with a wall thickness greater than that of the support portion 11 and extending outwards. A handle 12 is connected to the bottom of the support portion 11, and the handle 12 is a slender column with an outer circumference smaller than that of the support portion 11. A limiting portion 13 is located at the base of the handle 12, with a maximum outer circumference larger than that of the handle 12. The limiting portion 13 is disc-shaped or frustum-shaped. When inserted into the rectum, the support portion 11 and handle 12 are located inside the rectum, while the limiting portion 13 is located outside the perianal opening, preventing the entire support body from being sucked into the rectum. Furthermore, the support portion 11 of the support body has multiple through-hole ventilation holes 15, which help the patient expel gas and avoid discomfort caused by bloating. Preferably, the support body is made of medical-grade silicone, which is breathable, compressible, and reusable after cleaning and disinfection, reducing user costs.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the support body is inserted in a compressed state; the pushing mechanism includes an outer tube 21 and an inner tube 22. The front end of the outer tube 21 is round or ellipsoidal, and the front end of the outer tube 21 is provided with multiple petal-shaped notches. The inner tube 22 is slidably connected to the outer tube 21. One end of the inner tube 22 inserted into the outer tube 21 is provided with a push plate 23, and the other end of the inner tube 22 extends out of the tail end of the outer tube 21. The middle part of the inner tube 22 is provided with a hollow channel 24, and the size of the hollow channel 23 is larger than the outer circumference of the support body after compression. The support part 11 of the compressed support body is placed into the outer tube 21 through the hollow channel 24 of the inner tube, and the handle 12 is located in the hollow channel 24 of the inner tube. Pushing the inner tube 22, the support part 11 is pushed by the push plate 23, which causes the front end of the outer tube 21 to open. After the support part 11 is pushed out of the outer tube, it automatically unfolds into a cup shape, and the support ring presses against the inner wall of the rectum to support the rectal tissue. Preferably, both the outer tube 21 and the inner tube 22 are provided with a limiting ring 25 at the end away from the direction of advancement, limiting the depth of the outer tube 21 inserted into the rectum and the maximum pushing distance of the inner tube 22. The pushing mechanism is made of medical-grade plastic material to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the support. During insertion, the support part of the support is compressed and pushed into the outer tube through the hollow channel of the inner tube. The handle is located in the hollow channel of the inner tube. The outer tube is inserted into the patient's rectum until the limiting ring abuts against the perianal area. The inner tube is pushed inward. When the limiting ring of the inner tube abuts against the limiting ring of the outer tube, the support part is fully pushed out. After being released from the outer tube, the support part returns to a cup shape due to its own rebound. The outer circumference of the support ring presses against the inner wall of the rectum, the handle is still in the hollow channel of the inner tube, and the limiting part is located outside the perianal opening. Then, the pushing mechanism is pulled outward, leaving the support in the rectum.

[0029] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the supporting part 11 of the support body is umbrella-shaped in the inserted state. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 31, which is cylindrical. The pushing cylinder 31 has a second hollow channel 32 inside. The front end of the second hollow channel 32 has a shaping part 33 that radiates from back to front. In the inserted state, the umbrella-shaped supporting part 11 wraps around the front end of the pushing cylinder 31, and the handle 12 passes through the second hollow channel 32. Pulling the handle 12 backward causes the umbrella-shaped supporting part 11 to deform and fold into a concave shape under the reaction force of the front end of the pushing cylinder 31. Further, the rear end of the pushing cylinder 31 has a limiting rib 34 to limit the depth of insertion into the rectum. During insertion, the limiting part and the handle are first inserted from front to back into the second hollow channel of the pushing cylinder, so that the umbrella-shaped supporting part wraps around the front end of the pushing cylinder. Figure 4 As shown; then, the umbrella-shaped support is pushed into the rectum by the push-in tube until the limiting rib reaches the perianal opening. Then, the handle is pulled outward, and the support part flips into an inward concave shape under the reaction force of the push-in tube. The outer circumference of the support ring presses against the inner wall of the rectum to provide support. Figure 5 As shown; then pull the push-in tube outward to complete the insertion process.

[0030] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
