Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fecal incontinence collection device, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] Fecal incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of feces and gas from the anus, a symptom of defecation dysfunction. Patients with fecal incontinence often have perineal or buttock injuries, which should be treated with skin care to prevent infection. Patients should eat a light, easily digestible, high-calorie, high-protein, low-residue diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, and gas-producing foods to facilitate bowel movements. Patients with fecal incontinence often experience psychological distress, and should be given psychological support to encourage them to face the disease positively and improve their quality of life.
[0003] Fecal incontinence is caused by the inability of the sphincter muscles to control contractions properly. Patients with fecal incontinence need to use a collection device to collect their stool. Currently, one option for patients with fecal incontinence is an anal plug: a magnetic ring consisting of a string of magnetized titanium beads, implanted around the anus. The opening and closing of the anus is controlled by the attraction between the magnetic beads. However, during stool collection, there is still a risk of stool leakage when the anus is open, which makes subsequent cleaning and replacement inconvenient. It is also difficult to replace after use, increasing the difficulty of operation. In actual use, this can easily lead to problems with wearing the device, reducing its performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problem of fecal incontinence patients having difficulty quickly putting on the collection device and the risk of leakage, by providing a fecal incontinence collection device.
[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0028] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the fecal incontinence collection device includes:
[0030] The panel 1 has a connecting mechanism on its side. A rubber plug 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the panel 1, and the surface of the rubber plug 5 has a protrusion 6 that fits the anus. A connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the panel 1, and the connecting pipe 7 communicates with the inside of the rubber plug 5. The connecting pipe 7 is connected to the collection bag 14 through a drainage pipe 12. The panels 1 located on both sides of the connecting pipe 7 are fixedly connected to a water injection pipe 8 and an air injection pipe 10, respectively, and both the water injection pipe 8 and the air injection pipe 10 extend into the inside of the rubber plug 5.
[0031] Both sides of the panel 1 are fixedly connected to a connecting mechanism, which is composed of a strip 2. The strip 2 is a flexible structure and is fixedly connected to both ends of the panel 1. A notch 3 is opened in the middle of the strip 2, and adhesive 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the strip 2 on both sides of the notch 3.
[0032] In this technical solution, the insert 1 is placed in the perineum and the strip 2 is attached to the skin on both sides of the anus. After setting a notch 3 to avoid other parts, the strip 2 and the insert 1 are fixed with adhesive 4.
[0033] The rubber plug 5 is a hollow structure, and the top of the rubber plug 5 is provided with a pipe for connecting to the anal tube; the bottom of the connecting tube 7 is threaded to the connector 13, the connector 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the drainage tube 12, and the top of the drainage tube 12 is fixedly connected to the one-way valve 15; the edge of the connector 13 is provided with a washer, and the washer is fitted and connected to the bottom of the connecting tube 7.
[0034] In this technical solution, after the magnetic ring structure 16 is implanted, the magnetism between the magnetic rings forces the external sphincter to contract and close the anus. After the insert 1 is worn, the rubber plug 5 is inserted into the anus and is made to fit tightly to the anus by setting the protrusion 6. At this time, the rubber plug 5 is located below the magnetic ring structure 16. When defecating, the stool overcomes the magnetism between the magnetic beads and the overlap enters the collection bag 14 from the rubber plug 5 and the drainage tube 12 for collection.
[0035] Both the water injection pipe 8 and the air injection pipe 10 are threadedly connected to the end pipe 11, and the top ends of both the water injection pipe 8 and the air injection pipe 10 are fixedly connected to the control valve 9; the insert plate 1 has a convex structure and is fitted and connected to the perineum.
[0036] In this technical solution, by setting the air injection pipe 10 and the water injection pipe 8, the anal canal can be cleaned after collecting feces, and it can also be used to expel gas from the anus and rectum during defecation.
[0037] A magnetic ring structure 16 is provided above the rubber stopper 5. The magnetic ring structure 16 is implanted into the body through a surgical incision and surrounds the external sphincter. The magnetic ring structure 16 is composed of several magnetic beads, and adjacent magnetic beads are connected by titanium wires. Both ends of the magnetic ring structure 16 are connected to surgical sutures, and the surface of the magnetic beads is covered with a titanium alloy shell.
[0038] In this technical solution, the magnetic ring structure 16 is implanted into the body through surgical sutures. An anterior or anterolateral incision is made to form a channel around the external sphincter. Magnetic beads are implanted, and the number of magnetic beads is selected according to the size of the anal opening. They are connected by titanium wires, and the surface of the magnetic beads is covered by a titanium alloy shell, so as not to affect the internal tissues.
[0039] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
