Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an integrated colonic drug delivery device. Background Technology

[0002] In the treatment of colonic diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, intestinal infections or tumors, as well as in preoperative bowel preparation, local administration and irrigation are common treatment methods.

[0003] Traditional methods typically rely on enemas, suppositories, or oral medications, but have the following limitations:

[0004] Uneven drug distribution: Enemas or suppositories are difficult to apply precisely to the lesion site, such as the high rectum or sigmoid colon. The drug is easily diluted by intestinal fluid or excreted prematurely, affecting the efficacy.

[0005] Difficulty in fixation: Existing catheters lack a reliable fixation mechanism and are prone to displacement due to intestinal peristalsis or patient movement, requiring repeated adjustments to their position and increasing the complexity of the procedure;

[0006] Risk of cross-infection: If irrigation and drug administration share a single channel, it may cause retrograde contamination, especially in patients with weakened immune function.

[0007] Patient discomfort: Traditional anal tubes or enema devices lack adaptable design, which can easily cause damage to the anal sphincter or leakage.

[0008] While some colonic catheters in the current technology are equipped with balloon fixation, such as the modified Foley catheter, they lack integrated design and cannot simultaneously meet the needs of drug administration, irrigation, and reflux prevention. In addition, ordinary catheters lack a leak-proof structure at the anal opening, which can easily lead to leakage of medication or irrigation fluid.

[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional integrated device that can achieve precise drug delivery, controllable irrigation, stabilization, and backflow prevention to improve the efficiency and safety of colon disease treatment. Utility Model Content
