Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a vaginal function exercise device.
Background Art
[0002] The main treatment methods for gynecological cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and vaginal cancer are radiotherapy, which includes external irradiation and intracavitary brachytherapy. Most patients with gynecological tumors such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and vaginal cancer need to undergo brachytherapy, which is a radiotherapy technique that directly acts radiation on the corresponding part of the vagina according to the lesion site. Although it can obtain good local control, it is easy to cause atrophy, adhesion, and stenosis of the vaginal mucosa. Especially for patients with good prognosis, it has a profound impact on the subsequent quality of life, especially the quality of sexual life. Therefore, within 1 to 2 years after brachytherapy, it is necessary to apply a vaginal douche and a vaginal dilator for a long time to perform vaginal rehabilitation and reduce the impact of late toxic reactions of the vagina.
[0003] According to clinical practice, a vaginal rehabilitation process is required after vaginal radiotherapy and other gynecological diseases. In the process of vaginal rehabilitation, correct vaginal dilation operation directly affects the rehabilitation effect, including dilation position, dilation amount, and control of the dilation process. However, due to its relation to gynecological treatment, patients want to complete the vaginal rehabilitation operation by themselves, but it is difficult for conventional rehabilitation devices for patients to accurately perform the vaginal rehabilitation operation by themselves.
[0004] The currently used vaginal douche can be inserted into the vagina by the patient and family members for cleaning by themselves, but it does not have an expansion function. The currently commonly used vaginal dilator is a vaginal speculum used for gynecological examinations. Such a vaginal dilator requires a high level of medical literacy of the operator, and it is usually difficult for patients and family members to perform it by themselves at home. The operation is inconvenient and it is difficult to realize vaginal rehabilitation exercise. Therefore, a vaginal function exercise device is urgently needed.

[0039] The heating temperature of the heating ring 111 does not exceed 37°C, thus avoiding damage to the insertion rod 206 and expansion unit 207, and preventing high-temperature burns inside the vagina.
[0040] If the second pump 109 is an air pump, it pumps air to inflate the expansion unit 207, then releases the air to deflate the expansion unit 207, and repeats this process to achieve the vaginal strengthening function.
[0041] By controlling the second pump 109, the amount of inflation of the inflation unit 207 can be changed, allowing the patient to select an appropriate inflation diameter according to the actual situation. Typically, the inflation diameter of the inflation unit 207 does not exceed 3.5 cm.
[0042] If the second pump 109 is a liquid pump, the expansion unit 207 is expanded after the liquid enters the insertion rod 206, then the second pump 109 is inverted to recirculate the liquid and deflate the expansion unit 207, and this process is repeated to achieve a vaginal strengthening function.
[0043] If the pumped fluid is a liquid, the end of the second pump 109 away from the second hose 4 is connected to a liquid storage tank 110, and an exhaust port is provided on one side of the connection seat 202. When in use, the exhaust port must be opened early, the second pump 109 is started to fill the insertion rod 206 with liquid, the internal air is expelled through the exhaust port, the exhaust port is then closed, and the second pump 109 is restarted to inflate the expansion unit 207.
[0044] Referring to Figure 5, an additional embodiment is that the second pump 109 is It includes a pump case 1091, an annular inner wall 1092, a turntable 1093, a gear 1094, a rack 1097, and a crankshaft link 10911.
[0045] The annular inner wall 1092 is fixed inside the pump case 1091. The turntable 1093 is coaxially mounted inside the annular inner wall 1092 and rotatably connected to the annular inner wall 1092. Multiple extrusion bearings 1096 are connected circumferentially, rotating at equal intervals. A pump hose 1095 is provided between the extrusion bearings 1096 and the inner wall of the annular inner wall 1092. One end of the pump hose 1095 is connected to the second hose 4, and the other end of the pump hose 1095 is connected to the air or liquid storage tank 110. Gear 1094 is pivotally attached to the top of the turntable 1093. Rack 1097 meshes with gear 1094, and directional guide block 1098 slides and connects to it, and directional guide block 1098 is fixed inside pump case 1091. The crankshaft link 10911 is hinged at one end to the rack 1097 and at the other end to the crankshaft 10910, which is rotatably mounted inside the pump case 1091, with the output shaft of the motor 1099 pivotally attached to one end, and the fixed end of the motor 1099 fixed inside the pump case 1091.
[0046] During use, starting the motor 1099 causes the crankshaft 10910 and crankshaft link 10911 to reciprocate the rack 1097 within the directional guide block 1098. This causes the rack 1097 to move multiple extrusion bearings 1096 to drive the turntable 1093 via the gear 1094, thereby pushing out the pump hose 1095. One end of the pump hose 1095 is connected to the air or liquid storage tank 110, and the fluid is pumped into the insertion rod 206 to inflate the expansion unit 207. The reciprocating motion of the rack 1097 changes the rotation direction of the turntable 1093, and further changes the pumping direction, thereby enabling the expansion and contraction of the expansion unit 207. By changing the rotation speed of the motor 1099, the frequency of expansion and contraction of the expansion unit 207 can be changed.
