Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a low-position anal preservation postoperative rehabilitation training device. Background Technology

[0002] 70%–80% of rectal cancer cases are mid-to-low rectal cancers (tumors ≤10 cm from the anal verge). Because of their proximity to the anus, traditional surgery for these tumors requires anal resection and permanent colostomy, leading to loss of physiological function, psychological trauma, and a decline in quality of life. Low anterior resection with sphincter preservation, however, preserves anal function while radically removing the tumor, gradually becoming the preferred surgical method for radical treatment of low rectal cancer. However, approximately 60% of patients develop low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) postoperatively, mainly manifested as: bowel dysfunction: significantly increased bowel movement frequency (10–20 times daily), urgency, incomplete defecation, or incontinence, due to decreased rectal storage function and damage to the nerve reflex arc; anastomotic complications; and urinary dysfunction.

[0003] Continuous pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training can effectively improve low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training generally includes pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback training, and rectal balloon training. Rectal balloon training simulates the feeling of fecal distension by injecting water or gas into a rectal balloon, training the brain to recognize and respond to the urge to defecate. During balloon dilation, the patient is required to simultaneously contract the anal sphincter to resist the pulling force, effectively enhancing sphincter coordination. Existing products generally have relatively simple functions. For example, the product disclosed in patent CN222585327U, a rectal balloon therapy device, cannot dynamically monitor the user's anal pressure and anal function recovery. Furthermore, it requires a doctor to set and adjust the dilation pressure, and users generally need to go to a medical institution for anal pressure testing, which is time-consuming and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-position anal sphincter preservation postoperative rehabilitation training device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a low-position anal sphincter preservation postoperative rehabilitation training device, comprising a training device body and a controller. The training device body includes a grip, an inner support unit, a control board, an airbag, an outer cover, an air pump, and a battery. The air pump, battery, and control board are disposed within the inner support unit, and the airbag covers the outer side of the inner support unit. The outer cover is disposed outside the airbag and the inner support unit, and the grip is disposed at one end of the inner support unit.

[0006] Furthermore, the controller is a dedicated remote controller and / or a mobile phone with a control APP installed, and the controller is connected to the training device via Bluetooth.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner support unit includes a rear section cylinder and a front section soft rubber rod; the rear section cylinder is a cylindrical structure used to house the air pump, battery, and control board, and its outer wall is provided with slots for communication between the air pump and the airbag; the front section soft rubber rod is located at the front of the rear section cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the airbag is cup-shaped or tubular and is adhered to the outer side of the inner support unit.

[0009] Furthermore, a disc-shaped limiting cover is provided on the outside of the rear section of the cylinder; the gripping part includes a bottom connecting disc, a central tube, and a top gripping disc, the bottom connecting disc is connected to the limiting cover by a bolt structure, and the end of the rear section of the cylinder is inserted into the central tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer cover layer covers the outside of the airbag and the limiting cover, and its end is located between the bottom connecting plate of the grip part and the limiting cover.

[0012] Furthermore, elongated electrodes arranged in a circumferential array are provided on the outer cover layer.

[0013] The rehabilitation training device proposed in this invention utilizes pneumatic contraction / expansion and pressure sensors to precisely set the expansion force in real time and monitor anorectal pressure, enabling self-monitoring at home and reducing medical costs. The pulsed electrical therapy unit enhances the passive contraction force of the pelvic floor muscles, which, combined with pneumatic expansion, simulates the feeling of fecal distension, accelerating the reconstruction of the defecation reflex pathway. Furthermore, continuous monitoring based on pressure curves and treatment-related data facilitates doctors' assessment of rehabilitation progress and the development of targeted rehabilitation plans.

[0014] In terms of product form, the product is small in size thanks to a miniature air pump and integrated structure, making it convenient to use and carry. The dual-section internal support and airbag design enhance user comfort while maintaining a compact size. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, the rehabilitation training device involved in this utility model includes a training device body 1 and a controller 2. The controller 2 is a dedicated remote control and / or a mobile phone with a control APP installed. The controller 2 is connected to the training device body 1 via Bluetooth.

The baffle k2 is used to limit the position of the air pump 17. The slot k1 facilitates the installation of the air pump 17 and the setting of the connecting pipe between the air pump 17 and the airbag 15.

[0029] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the pressure sensor unit 14 includes multiple flexible pressure sensors 141, which are disposed on the outside of the inner support unit 12 or the outside of the airbag 15 and are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the inner support unit 12 or the airbag 15. At least one flexible pressure sensor 141 is provided at the front end, middle and rear end of the inner support unit 12 or the airbag 15.

[0030] As attached Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the outer cover layer 16 is disposed on the outside of the airbag 15. The gripping part 11 is disposed at one end of the inner support unit 12.

[0031] The gripping part 11 is fixed to the limiting cover 123. The gripping part 11 includes a bottom connecting plate 111, a central tube 112, and a top gripping plate 113. The bottom connecting plate 111 is connected to the limiting cover 123 by a bolt structure. The end of the rear section tube 121 is inserted into the central tube 112.

[0032] The outer cover layer 16 covers the outside of the airbag 15 and the limiting cover 123, and its end is located between the bottom connecting plate 111 of the grip part 11 and the limiting cover 123. The outer cover layer 16 is compressed and fixed by tightening the bolts of the grip part 11 and the limiting cover 123. The outer cover layer 16 is made of soft elastic material.

[0033] Furthermore, elongated electrodes 161 arranged in a circumferential array are provided on the outer cover layer 16 for low-frequency electrical pulse therapy.

[0034] In terms of circuit connections, the air pump 17, battery 18, flexible pressure sensor 141, and elongated electrode 161 are electrically connected to the control board 13. The control board 13 is an integrated circuit board that integrates functions such as data acquisition, air pump control, electrical pulse control, and Bluetooth transmission. A push-button switch and a charging module are provided on the grip part 11 and are also electrically connected to the control board 13. The above circuit connection structure and the specific components of the control board can be adapted by those skilled in the art using existing technology according to requirements and are not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
