[0035] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a vulvar bathing device, which includes: a fixing strap 1, which includes an integrally formed transverse strap 11 and a longitudinal strap 12. One end of the longitudinal strap 12 is connected to the middle of the transverse strap 11 so that the transverse strap 11 and the longitudinal strap 12 are connected to form a T-shaped structure; an adhesive layer (13) is provided on the top surface of both the transverse strap 11 and the longitudinal strap 12; wherein, a circular hole 121 is provided through the middle of the longitudinal strap 12; a bath bag 2, which has a semi-enclosed structure and the edge of the bath bag 2 is connected to the circular hole 121.

[0036] Specifically, this utility model provides a vulvar bathing device, including a fixing strap 1 and a bath bag 2. The fixing strap 1 includes an integrally formed transverse strap 11 and a longitudinal strap 12. One end of the longitudinal strap 12 is connected to the middle of the transverse strap 11, so that the fixing strap 1 as a whole forms a T-shaped structure that can conform to the physiological curve of the patient's vulva. The top surface of both the transverse strap 11 and the longitudinal strap 12 is provided with an adhesive layer 13, which can adhere to the patient's skin. In use, the transverse strap 11 is located at the mons pubis, and the two sides of the transverse strap 11 extend to adhere to the upper skin of the mons pubis, so as to adhere the transverse strap 11 to the patient's mons pubis and the skin around the mons pubis. The longitudinal strap 12 is attached to the patient's vulva. The skin around the vulva is adhered, and the fixing band 1 is firmly attached to the patient's vulva by setting up the transverse band 11, the longitudinal band 12 and the adhesive layer. The bath bag 2 has a semi-enclosed structure and can be used to support the medicine in the patient's bath. A round hole 121 is opened through the middle of the longitudinal band 12, and the edge of the bath bag 2 is connected to the round hole 121. When in use, the patient's vulva can be completely exposed through the round hole 121 and placed in the bath bag 2 to achieve the effect of medicine soaking. In this way, a vulva-specific bathing device is constructed, which can fit well with the special physiological curve of the patient's vulva, so that the entire vulva can be effectively soaked in the medicine, ensuring the therapeutic effect and improving the patient's comfort.

[0037] In some possible implementations, the bottom of the bath bag 2 is provided with a water inlet 21 and a drain outlet 22.

[0038] Specifically, the water inlet 21 and the drain outlet 22 make it easy for patients to drain the used medication and re-inject new medication at any time during use, without having to tear off the fixing strap 1, which makes it convenient for operators to inject and change medication.

[0039] In some possible implementations, the water inlet 21 is located near one end of the longitudinal belt 12, and the drain outlet 22 is located near the other end of the longitudinal belt 12; wherein, one end of the longitudinal belt 12 is connected to the middle of the transverse belt 11.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, due to the special physiological structure of female patients, the side of the vulvar bath device closer to the transverse band 11 will be at a higher position during use, and the medicine will naturally flow towards the rear of the longitudinal band 12. Therefore, the water inlet 21 is positioned close to one end of the longitudinal band 12, that is, the end close to the longitudinal band 12 is the connection end with the transverse band 11, and the drain outlet 22 is positioned close to the other end of the longitudinal band 12. In this way, during the soaking process, the used medicine can naturally flow out through the drain outlet 22 located below, and the operator can then inject new medicine through the water inlet 21 located at the upper end.

[0041] In some possible implementations, an input interface 23 is provided at the water inlet 21. The input interface 23 includes a flow tube 231 and a blocking plug 232. The flow tube 231 includes a first channel and a second channel. One end of the first channel is connected to the water inlet 21, and the diameter of the first channel is larger than that of the second channel. The blocking plug 232 includes a baffle and a plug head. The plug head is fixed to the bottom of the baffle, and one end of the baffle is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first channel. The diameter of the plug head is adapted to the diameter of the second channel.

[0042] Specifically, an input interface 23 is provided at the water inlet 21. The input interface 23 includes a flow tube 231 and a blocking plug 232. The flow tube 231 connects to a syringe or a dedicated injection device, facilitating smooth injection of the medication and ensuring good sealing. The blocking plug 232 enables unidirectional flow, preventing backflow of the medication during injection. Figure 3As shown, the flow tube 231 includes a first channel and a second channel. The size of the second channel is adapted to the size of the injection end of the syringe or a dedicated injection device, facilitating insertion into the syringe or dedicated injection device. During injection, the operator can insert the injection end of the syringe or dedicated injection device through the second channel. At this time, the injection end pushes the stopper out of the second channel, and the baffle rotates outward, realizing the connection between the first channel and the second channel. After the drug is injected, the injection end of the syringe or dedicated injection device is withdrawn. Under the action of gravity, the rotational force between one end of the baffle and the inner wall of the first channel, and the pressure of the drug in the bath bag, the baffle rotates inward, causing the stopper to be pushed back into the second channel, isolating the first channel and the second channel, realizing the one-way valve function.

[0043] In some possible implementations, one end of the baffle is positioned near the lateral band 11 at the rotatable connection between it and the inner wall of the first channel.

[0044] Specifically, one end of the baffle is positioned near the transverse band 11 at the rotatable connection point between it and the inner wall of the first channel, so that the baffle can rotate downwards to allow the plug to be placed on the second channel.

[0045] In some possible implementations, a stop valve 24 is provided at the drain outlet 22.

[0046] Specifically, the stop valve 24 allows the operator to quickly drain the medicine from the bath bag 2, facilitates the rapid emptying of the medicine after bathing, and effectively controls the timing of drainage to prevent accidental leakage of the medicine.

[0047] In some possible implementations, the bath bag 2 is made of medical-grade transparent PVC material; the transverse band 11 and the longitudinal band 12 are both made of medical-grade silicone material.

[0048] Specifically, the bath bag 2 is made of medical-grade transparent PVC material, which has high transparency to allow observation of the internal medicine liquid, and excellent waterproof performance to effectively prevent the medicine liquid from leaking out; the horizontal band 11 and the vertical band 12 are both made of medical-grade skin-friendly silicone material, which is soft and has good fit, with minimal skin irritation, and is tightly attached to the skin around the patient's vulva through the adhesive layer 13 to ensure breathability and avoid skin discomfort caused by prolonged wearing.
