Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, specifically referring to an integrated vaginal dilation and irrigation pack. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of cervical cancer radiotherapy, vaginal dilation and irrigation is an important adjuvant treatment, but the current operation method has significant drawbacks. The disposable vaginal dilation and irrigation kits commonly used in hospitals use traditional disposable speculum or stainless steel speculum. These instruments are made of too hard materials, which can easily cause mucosal damage and bleeding when used for irrigation in unmarried or married women, causing great pain to patients.

[0003] Patients at home often lack self-operated vaginal dilator and irrigator devices, forcing them to frequently travel to the hospital for irrigation. This process not only consumes a significant amount of time and energy but also increases their financial burden. Furthermore, traditional irrigator kits cannot provide personalized vaginal dilation based on individual patient tolerance, resulting in noticeable pain during irrigation. Additionally, if traditional one-piece dilator and irrigator are made of non-reusable materials, it wastes resources and increases patient expenses. Therefore, the development of a safe, precise, minimally invasive, and easily operable one-piece vaginal dilator and irrigator kit for home use is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a safer and more comfortable vaginal dilation and irrigation method for hospitalized patients. It replaces the traditional speculum with balloon dilation, minimizing the risk of pain and mucosal damage during the irrigation process. It also helps patients at home to independently perform vaginal dilation and irrigation, reducing the fatigue of traveling to and from the hospital and providing convenience for patients' self-care.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An integrated vaginal dilation and irrigation kit includes a drainage bag with a drainage tube connected to its bottom. The drainage tube is connected to a flexible tube, which passes through a hand-operated balloon and is connected to an air balloon tube. The hand-operated balloon is connected to the air balloon tube via an air guide tube. The drainage bag has graduations and a maximum capacity of 1000ml. The drainage bag is pre-filled with 800ml of 0.9% saline solution. An air balloon is connected and fixedly attached to the air balloon tube. The hand-operated balloon is connected to the air balloon via the air guide tube.

[0006] Preferably, the drainage bag may also be pre-filled with 800ml of warm water, and the top of the drainage bag is provided with a water inlet, and a water inlet is plugged inside the water inlet.

[0007] Preferably, a flow meter is provided on the drainage tube, and a second flow meter is provided on the air guide tube.

[0008] Preferably, the airbag tube has a hole that is connected to a flexible tube, and the holes are arranged in a ring and uniformly. The airbag tube is a long and thin tube when it is not inflated. The airbag tube is marked with a standard 5cm insertion depth into the vagina. The diameter of the hole is 7.3mm.

[0009] Preferably, squeezing the hand-operated balloon inflates the balloon tube, and during inflation, water in the drainage bag flows out through the tube hole to achieve the flushing function.

[0017] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the integrated vaginal dilation and irrigation kit includes a drainage bag 1, a drainage tube 2 connected to the bottom of the drainage bag 1, a flexible tube 3 connected to the drainage tube 2, and a hand-operated balloon 4 connected to an air tube 5. The hand-operated balloon 4 is connected to the air tube 5 via an air delivery tube 13. The drainage bag 1 has graduations 6 and a maximum capacity of 1000ml. The drainage bag 1 is pre-filled with 0.9% of its contents. 800ml of physiological saline or warm water is used. An airbag 7 is connected inside the airbag tube 5. The hand-squeezed balloon 4 is connected to the airbag 7 through the air guide tube 13. The airbag tube 5 has a tube hole 9, which is connected to the flexible tube 3. The tube holes 9 are arranged in a ring and evenly to achieve the effect of water spraying, making the cleaning more thorough. The airbag tube 5 is a long and thin tube when it is not inflated. The airbag tube 5 has a mark 10 for the insertion depth into the vagina at a standard of 5cm. The diameter of the tube hole is 7.3mm. The airbag tube 5 is made of silicone material, which has good flexibility and biocompatibility. It can be repeatedly disinfected and used. Under normal use and disinfection, it can be reused for half a month to one month. The drainage bag 1 can also be pre-filled with 800ml of warm water. The top of the drainage bag has a water inlet 11, and a water inlet plug 12 is plugged into the water inlet 11.

[0019] It should be noted that the distance between the hand-squeezed balloon 4 and the airbag tube 5 is selected according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] It should be noted that the hand-squeezable balloon 4 is not connected to the hose 3, and the hand-squeezable balloon 4 can be movably mounted on the outer wall of the hose 3.

[0021] In addition, the positions of the airbag 7 and the hose 3 can be staggered. The part of the hose 3 located between the airbag tube 5 has a certain degree of hardness, so that the airbag 7 in the inflated state will not squeeze the hose 3 to the point that it cannot drain. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, a flow meter 8 is installed on the drainage pipe 2 to precisely control the water flow rate, and a flow meter 14 is installed on the air duct 13 to precisely control the gas flow rate and prevent the gas in the airbag 7 from escaping. The flow meter 8 and the flow meter 14 respectively control the liquid and gas to prevent them from interfering with each other.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, squeezing the hand-operated balloon 4 inflates the balloon 7 in the balloon tube 5, which in turn expands the balloon tube 5. The balloon tube 5 serves to expand and fix the balloon. During inflation, water in the drainage bag 1 flows out through the tube hole 9 to achieve the flushing function. The water flow rate is controlled by the flow meter 8 within the range of 50-100ml per minute to ensure a balance between the flushing effect and the patient's comfort.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary material package, which includes disposable rubber gloves, 2-3 disposable paraffin oil cotton balls, 30-250ml bottles of iodine solution, 500-800ml of 0.9% saline solution, a bag of disposable iodine solution cotton balls containing 7-8 cotton balls, and disposable tweezers.

[0025] (a) Procedures for use in the hospital: 1. Before operation, medical staff should carefully check whether all components inside the integrated vaginal dilation and irrigation kit are complete and intact; 2. Wear disposable rubber gloves, take out a disposable paraffin oil cotton ball, and apply it evenly to the front end of the airbag tube 5 for lubrication; 3. Open drainage bag 1 and confirm that it contains an appropriate amount of 0.9% saline solution. Adjust the flow rate device 8 on drainage tube 2 to a suitable flow rate of 50-100 ml per minute. 4. Slowly insert the balloon tube 5 into the patient's vagina, inserting it to a depth of 4-5 cm as marked. Squeeze the hand-operated balloon 4, adjusting the flow rate regulator 14 according to the patient's tolerance to inflate the balloon tube 5. After inflation, adjust the flow rate regulator 14 to the closed position, allowing the balloon tube 5 to expand and fix itself. At the same time, observe whether the water in the drainage bag flows out normally and rinse it. After inflating for 3-5 minutes, slowly deflate and remove the balloon tube 5. 5. Disinfect the area around the patient's vagina with disposable iodine-soaked cotton balls.

[0026] (II) Home Use Procedures: 1. Wash the patient's hands thoroughly before the procedure and prepare the rinsing pack; 2. Wear disposable rubber gloves and use disposable tweezers to pick up a disposable paraffin oil cotton ball and lubricate the front end of the airbag tube 5; 3. Check that the drainage bag 1 contains an appropriate amount of warm water. Turn on the flow meter 8 on the drainage tube 2 and adjust the water flow rate to a suitable range of 50-100ml per minute; 4. The patient inserts the balloon tube 5 into the vagina herself, inserting it to a depth of 4-5 cm as marked on 10. First, squeeze the hand-squeezing balloon 4, and adjust the flow meter 2 14 to inflate the balloon tube 5 according to her own tolerance. After inflation, adjust the flow meter 2 14 to the closed position so that the balloon tube 5 can expand and fix, making it easier to rinse. After 3-5 minutes, deflate and remove the balloon tube 5. 5. Use disposable iodine-soaked cotton balls to perform simple disinfection around the vagina; 6. After use, clean and disinfect reusable parts such as the airbag tube 5 according to the correct disinfection method for future use. The silicone airbag tube 5 can be disinfected using conventional medical methods, such as boiling, but attention should be paid to the disinfection time and temperature to prevent damage to the parts.

[0027] In summary, this device offers the following advantages: Enhanced medical efficacy: Radiotherapy patients using this integrated vaginal dilation and irrigation kit can effectively improve radiosensitivity, better treat and control damage to the vagina caused by radiotherapy, and improve treatment outcomes; Optimized patient experience: On one hand, the soft and minimally invasive balloon tube significantly reduces mucosal damage and pain, improving irrigation comfort for both unmarried and married women.
