Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a foreskin expander. Background Technology

[0002] Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is too small, tightly constricting the glans penis and preventing the foreskin from being retracted to expose the urethral opening and glans. This can negatively impact normal penile development, lead to smegma buildup and inflammation, and other adverse effects. Current treatment typically involves circumcision to remove the foreskin. After circumcision, the foreskin needs to be dilated to facilitate suturing.

[0003] The current method involves using hemostatic forceps to clamp the foreskin incision and pull it outward to expand it, then suturing it with surgical sutures.

[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: During the suturing process, medical personnel need to hold the foreskin with forceps for a long time. The medical personnel's hands are prone to fatigue from maintaining the same action for a long time, which can lead to uneven force on the foreskin incision and may pose a risk of foreskin tearing and damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a foreskin expander to ensure even stress distribution at the foreskin incision during circumcision suturing, thereby reducing the risk of foreskin tearing.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A foreskin expander includes an adjusting ring and multiple support arms. The adjusting ring is a circular ring that can be detachably connected end to end. One end of each support arm is fixedly connected to the annular surface of the adjusting ring, and the other end of each support arm is located outside the annular surface area of ​​the adjusting ring.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during the circumcision suturing process, a foreskin dilator is used to cover the patient's penis. The foreskin dilator has high adaptability and can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the patient's penis. The foreskin dilator is easy to connect, which is convenient for medical staff to operate and increases the efficiency of the operation. The foreskin dilator has support arms, which can be connected to the foreskin in multiple directions through surgical sutures. The force is evenly distributed at the foreskin incision, reducing the risk of foreskin tearing and damage during suturing.

[0008] Optionally, the support arm is provided with a cable tie hole, which is located at the end of the support arm away from the adjusting ring.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the surgical suture is connected to the support arm by passing through the suture hole, which makes it convenient for medical staff to fix the surgical suture.

[0010] Optionally, the adjusting ring includes an adjusting band and a buckle, the buckle being located at one end of the adjusting band, and the adjusting band also having multiple buckle holes that cooperate with the buckle.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easier to connect and disassemble the two ends of the adjustment ring, which facilitates operation by medical staff and increases the efficiency of their surgeries.

[0012] Optionally, the adjusting belt is fitted with a retaining ring, into which two overlapping adjusting belts can be inserted.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, excess adjustment tape can be inserted into the fixing ring to prevent the adjustment tape at the buckle hole end from lifting up and interfering with medical staff. At the same time, it can work with the buckle and buckle hole to restrict the mutual movement of the two ends of the adjustment tape, thereby improving the stability of the adjustment tape.

[0014] Optionally, the four corners of the adjustment belt are rounded, and the four corners of the end face of the adjustment belt are also rounded.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment belt can be inserted into the fixed belt loop more conveniently, and at the same time, compared with sharp angular edges, the possibility of the adjustment belt scratching the lower body can be reduced.

[0016] Optionally, the buckle includes a limiting rod that can be inserted into a buckle hole, one end of which is fixed to the surface of one end of the adjusting belt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting rod is inserted into the buckle hole, it can restrict the movement of the two ends of the adjusting belt relative to each other, thus fixing the connection of the adjusting belt.

[0018] Optionally, the buckle may also include a limiting ball, which is located on the other end of the limiting rod and has a diameter larger than the buckle hole, and the limiting ball can pass through the buckle hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the limiting ball passes through the buckle hole, it can restrict the movement of the limiting rod inside and outside the buckle hole, and also restrict the movement of the two ends of the adjusting belt connected to the limiting rod inside and outside, thus fixing the connection of the adjusting belt.

[0020] Optionally, a shim is attached to the adjusting belt, the shim being attached to the belt surface of the adjusting belt opposite to the limiting rod.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the pad can increase the friction between the penis and the adjustment ring, increase the stability of the adjustment ring when it is on the penis, and also protect the foreskin of the penis.

[0022] Optionally, the adjustment belt is made of an elastic material.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the deformation capacity of the adjustment belt is increased, making the connection between the buckle and the buckle hole more convenient. The elastic material's ability to be stretched more easily also improves the adaptability of the adjustment belt. At the same time, the elastic material also has a protective effect on the patient's penis.

[0024] In summary, this application has the following technical effects: 1. By setting an adjustment ring and support arm, the foreskin dilator is used to cover the patient's penis. The foreskin dilator has high adaptability and can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the patient's penis. The foreskin dilator is easy to connect, which is convenient for medical staff to operate and increases the efficiency of medical staff. The foreskin dilator has a support arm, which can be connected to the foreskin in multiple directions through surgical sutures. The force is evenly distributed at the foreskin incision, reducing the risk of foreskin tearing and damage during suturing. 2. By setting buckles and buckle holes, it is easier to connect and disconnect the two ends of the adjusting ring, which facilitates operation by medical staff and increases the efficiency of surgical procedures. 3. By adding pads, the friction between the penis and the adjusting ring is increased, which increases the stability of the adjusting ring when it is on the penis and also protects the foreskin of the penis.

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application discloses a foreskin expander, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 The foreskin dilator includes an adjusting ring 1, a gasket 2, a retaining band 3, and four support arms 4.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The adjusting ring 1 includes an integrally formed adjusting band 11 and a buckle 12, the length direction of which is perpendicular to the band surface of the adjusting band 11. The adjusting band 11 has multiple buckle holes 13 that mate with the buckles 12. The adjusting ring 1 is an adjustable cylinder, and the buckles 12 are inserted into different buckle holes 13 to form adjusting rings 1 of different diameters.

[0030] Reference Figure 1The adjustment band 11 is strip-shaped and made of elastic material, such as flexible plastic, rubber, or silicone, to increase its deformation capacity. The four corners of the adjustment band 11 are rounded, and the four corners of the end face of the adjustment band 11 are also rounded, which reduces the possibility of the adjustment band 11 scratching or pricking the genitals compared to sharp edges.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The buckle 12 is integrally formed at one end of the belt surface of the adjusting belt 11. The buckle 12 consists of an integrally formed limiting rod 121 and a limiting ball 122. The limiting rod 121 is cylindrical, and one end of the limiting rod 121 is fixed to the belt surface of one end of the adjusting belt 11. The diameter of the limiting rod 121 is the same as the diameter of the buckle hole 13. The limiting ball 122 is located at the end of the limiting rod 121 away from the adjusting belt 11, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the buckle hole 13. The length of the limiting rod 121 between the limiting ball 122 and the adjusting belt 11 is the same as the depth of the buckle hole 13. After the limiting rod 121 is inserted into the buckle hole 13, it restricts the movement of the two ends of the adjusting belt 11 relative to each other. The buckle hole 13 can be deformed to allow the limiting ball 122 to pass through the buckle hole 13. After the limiting ball 122 passes through the buckle hole 13, it can restrict the inward and outward movement of the limiting rod 121.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 Multiple buckle holes 13 are evenly spaced along the center line of the adjustment belt 11. The multiple buckle holes 13 are located on the section of the adjustment belt 11 away from the buckle head 12. The circumference of the cylinder enclosed by the adjustment belt 11 can be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's personal situation, thereby improving the adaptability of the adjustment belt 11.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 The pad 2 is made of medical foam dressing. The shape and size of the pad 2 are identical to those of the adjusting band 11. It is attached to the side of the adjusting band 11 facing away from the limiting rod 121. The thickness of the pad 2 is less than that of the adjusting band 11. The pad 2 has multiple through holes, the size and position of which correspond one-to-one with the multiple buckle holes 13. The pad 2 does not interfere with the insertion of the buckle 12 into the buckle holes 13. The pad 2 increases the friction between the penis and the adjusting ring 1, increases the stability of the adjusting ring 1 when it is on the penis, and also protects the penile foreskin.

[0034] Reference Figure 1The retaining ring 3 is a closed square ring. The length of the hole in the retaining ring 3 is the same as the width of the adjusting belt 11, and the height of the hole in the retaining ring 3 is twice the thickness of the adjusting belt 11. Two overlapping adjusting belts 11 can be inserted during use. The retaining ring 3 is fitted onto the adjusting belt 11 and can move flexibly. When using the adjusting ring 1, the buckle hole 13 is inserted into the buckle head 12, and then the end of the adjusting belt 11 is inserted into the retaining ring 3 to prevent the adjusting belt 11 at the buckle hole 13 from lifting up and interfering with medical personnel. At the same time, it, together with the limiting rod 121, restricts the mutual movement of the two ends of the adjusting belt 11.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 There are four support arms 4, evenly spaced along the length of the adjusting belt 11. One end of each support arm 4 is integrally formed with the side of the adjusting belt 11, and the support arm 4 and the buckle 12 are located on the same surface of the adjusting belt 11. The support arm 4 is located at the edge of the adjusting belt 11 along its length, and the other end of the support arm 4 is located outside the surface area of ​​the adjusting belt 11. The support arm 4 is strip-shaped with a V-shaped side, and the V-shaped opening faces the surface of the adjusting belt 11. The support arm 4 includes a first support arm 41 and a second support arm 42. One end of the first support arm 41 is connected to the adjusting ring 11, and the other end of the second support arm 42 is connected to the first support arm 41. The angle between the first support arm 41 and the surface of the adjusting belt 11 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the first support arm 41 and the second support arm 42 is a right angle.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The second support arm 42 has a suture hole 5 at its top. One end of the surgical suture passes through the suture hole 5 and is connected to the support arm 4, while the other end is connected to the foreskin. The foreskin is stretched and fixed using the surgical suture. The support arm 4 is integrally molded from plastic or rubber. The plastic or rubber has a certain degree of hardness to provide support while also having a certain degree of toughness, which facilitates the connection between the support arm 4 and the foreskin using surgical sutures.
