Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rectal electrode fixation technology, and in particular to a rectal electrode fixation device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical medicine, electrical stimulation therapy and neurophysiological signal acquisition are commonly used and effective methods for the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction-related diseases such as constipation, urinary incontinence, and chronic pain, as well as for the assessment of pelvic floor dysfunction and research on nerve conduction. As a key component for realizing these operations, the stable and accurate positioning of the rectal electrode is crucial.

[0003] Currently, there are many shortcomings in the fixation methods for rectal electrodes. Traditional fixation methods mostly lack specialized fixation devices and mainly rely on adhesive tape. Although the simple adhesive tape method can fix the electrode to a certain extent, it has many drawbacks. Adhesive tape on the skin for a long time can easily cause skin allergies and other uncomfortable reactions, causing additional pain to patients. The adhesiveness of the tape will gradually weaken with time and the influence of skin secretions, resulting in the electrode not being firmly fixed, easily shifting or falling off, affecting the continuity and effectiveness of treatment.

[0004] Therefore, developing a fixation device that can effectively, stably, and accurately fix rectal electrodes is of great practical significance in order to meet the needs of clinical treatment and research, and improve the treatment effect and comfort of patients. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] A rectal electrode fixation device, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a strap 1, which is fixed between its two ends by a Velcro mechanism. A strip is installed on the outer surface of the strap 1 by fasteners. An insertion hole 3 is opened on the surface of the strip, and an elastic rubber sleeve 7 that communicates with the insertion hole 3 is glued to the outside of the strip.

[0027] When it is necessary to fix the rectal electrode, firstly, wrap the strap 1 around the waist, with the strap 1 positioned above the hip. Then, use Velcro to connect the two ends of the strap 1, thereby fixing the strap 1 to the waist. Next, insert the rectal electrode (not shown) along the elastic sleeve 7. The elastic sleeve 7 has a certain elasticity, which can limit the position of the rectal electrode after insertion. Then, insert the rectal electrode into the patient's anus, which facilitates subsequent electrical stimulation treatment. The rectal electrode is placed into the rectal cavity through the anus, directly stimulating or monitoring pelvic floor nerves and muscle tissues such as the sacral nerve and external anal sphincter. This can achieve electrical stimulation treatment to relieve constipation, urinary incontinence, chronic pain, etc., or collect neurophysiological signals for pelvic floor dysfunction assessment, nerve conduction research, etc. Its intrarectal positioning advantage can bypass skin impedance, improve stimulation efficiency, and reduce energy loss.

[0028] The hook and loop fastener mechanism includes a smooth hook and loop fastener surface 2 and a rough hook and loop fastener surface 10. The smooth hook and loop fastener surface 2 is fixed to one end of the strap 1, and the rough hook and loop fastener surface 10 is fixed to the other end of the strap 1. The smooth hook and loop fastener surface 2 and the rough hook and loop fastener surface 10 are used together by adhesive bonding.

[0029] After the strap 1 is wrapped around the waist, the two ends of the strap 1 are pulled tight, and the smooth side 2 and the rough side 10 of the hook and loop fastener are glued together to ensure the stability of the strap 1 and the waist.

[0030] The strip includes a fixing band 4 and an adjustment hole 8. The adjustment hole 8 is formed on the surface of the fixing band 4, and the insertion hole 3 is formed on the surface of the fixing band 4. The elastic sleeve 7 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing band 4 and communicates with the insertion hole 3.

[0031] The elastic sleeve 7 can be installed by setting the fixing strap 4. When the two ends of the fixing strap 4 are fixed between the fasteners and the binding strap 1, the stability between the fixing strap 4 and the binding strap 1 can be guaranteed.

[0032] The fastener includes a fixing block 5 and a threaded groove 11. The fixing block 5 is fixed to the side wall of the strap 1, and the threaded groove 11 is opened on the surface of the fixing block 5. The fastener also includes a knob 6 and a threaded post 12. The knob 6 and the threaded post 12 are welded together and fixed, and the threaded post 12 and the threaded groove 11 are threaded together.

[0033] When it is necessary to fix the fixing strap 4 and the binding strap 1, first align the adjusting hole 8 on the fixing strap 4 with the threaded groove 11. Then, rotate the threaded post 12 along the threaded groove 11 using the knob 6. As the threaded post 12 is continuously screwed into the threaded groove 11, when the knob 6 is pressed against the side of the fixing strap 4, the fixing strap 4 can be fixed between the binding strap 1 and the knob 6. The fixing position of the fixing strap 4 relative to the knob 6 and the binding strap 1 can be adjusted using the adjusting hole 8 to adjust the tightness of the fixing strap 4.

[0034] The surface of the fixing strap 4 is provided with a perforation hole 9;

[0035] When the fixing strap 4 is wrapped around the anus, the drainage holes 9 can prevent the fixing strap 4 from wrapping the perineum for a long time, which may cause discomfort.

[0036] Working principle: The operator first wraps the strap 1 around the patient's waist and upper hip area, using the smooth side 2 of the Velcro at one end of the strap 1 to the rough side 10 of the Velcro at the other end to ensure that the strap 1 is initially fixed in the waist. Next, the operator precisely aligns the adjustment hole 8 on the fixing strap 4 with the threaded groove 11 opened on the surface of the fixing block 5 on the side wall of the strap 1. Then, the operator rotates the knob 6 to drive the welded threaded post 12 into the threaded groove 11. As the threaded post 12 goes deeper, the knob 6 gradually presses the side of the fixing strap 4, firmly clamping the fixing strap 4 between the strap 1 and the knob 6. During this process, the tightness of the fixing band 4 can be flexibly adjusted through the adjustment hole 8. Then, the rectal electrode is slowly inserted along the elastic sleeve 7 on the fixing band 4 that is connected to the insertion hole 3, and pushed to a suitable position in the patient's anus. At this time, the elastic sleeve 7 effectively limits the rectal electrode with its own elasticity to prevent it from slipping out. At the same time, the evenly distributed perforations 9 on the surface of the fixing band 4 can promote air circulation and reduce the discomfort caused by the fixing band 4 wrapping the perineum for a long time. Finally, the rectal electrode is reliably fixed so that subsequent electrical stimulation therapy or neurophysiological signal acquisition can be carried out smoothly.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
