Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular to a disposable enema device. Background Technology

[0002] A traditional enema device is a medical instrument specifically designed for bowel cleansing and enema therapy. It works by instilling specific liquid medications or cleansing agents into the intestines to achieve purposes such as cleansing the intestines, softening stool, and treating diseases. The enema device mainly consists of a reservoir bag, tubing, rectal tube, and control valve. During operation, medical personnel first deliver the lavage solution from the reservoir bag to the rectal tube through the tubing, and then regulate the flow rate and volume of the liquid using the control valve to achieve bowel cleansing. Existing enema devices are typically made of metal or plastic and require cleaning and sterilization after use for reuse. However, these devices present hygiene problems such as incomplete cleaning leading to bacterial growth and increasing the risk of cross-infection. Existing disposable enema devices incorporate a heating pump inside the reservoir bag to control the temperature of the enema solution; however, this design does not achieve uniform heating of the enema solution and also presents certain hygiene issues.

A heat exchange component 17 connected to the temperature control component is disposed at the top of the reservoir 1. The pressure control component is used to adjust the pressure in the enema fluid receiving cavity. The heat exchange component 17 is used to adjust the temperature of the temperature control component. The temperature control component is used to adjust the temperature of the enema fluid inside the reservoir 1. A weight sensor 12 for monitoring the amount of enema fluid in the reservoir 1 may or may not be disposed at the bottom of the reservoir 1.

[0042] The heat exchanger is designed to convert the low-temperature liquid in the liquid heating layer 5 into a liquid at the desired temperature (which can be adjusted according to actual conditions).

[0043] Furthermore, the weight sensor 12 is bonded to the bottom of the storage bag 1 and is located at the bottom of the inner enema fluid receiving cavity; preferably, there are two or more weight sensors 12, which are symmetrically arranged along the center of the bottom of the storage bag 1, for accurately monitoring the amount of enema fluid in the storage bag 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the conduit 13 is provided with a control valve 14 for controlling the flow rate of the enema fluid.

[0045] Furthermore, a scale 16 is provided on the outer surface of the anal tube 15, which is used to reflect the length of the anal tube 15 entering the patient's body.

[0046] It should be noted that the heat exchange component 17 and the weight sensor 12 are reusable, while other components can be sterilized; the heat exchanger, inlet pump, and outlet pump can be manually adjusted.

[0047] When using it, the following steps are included:

[0048] (S1) Medical staff check whether the disposable enema device is intact, then add the liquid heating medium to the middle layer of the storage bag 1 as the liquid heating layer, and connect the inlet pipe 8 and the outlet pipe 9 to the heat exchange component 17.

[0049] (S2) The patient assumes an appropriate position, and the medical staff gently inserts the anal tube 15 into the patient's anus;

[0050] (S3) Medical staff adjust control valve 14 to allow the irrigation fluid to slowly flow into the intestine;

[0051] (S4) Observe the patient’s response and adjust the fluid flow rate and speed as needed (adjust control valve 14 and / or pressure regulating interface 11);

[0052] (S5) After irrigation is completed, medical staff slowly pull out the anal tube 15 and clean the patient's anal area.
