Medicated Pad with Suppository Unit for Hemorrhoid Treatment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for treating conditions like hemorrhoids and vulvo-vaginitis face challenges, as internal medication may not effectively target external issues and can contaminate adjacent areas and underwear, leading to inefficiency and discomfort.
Innovation Solution
A medicated pad system with a non-permeable protective layer and a suppository unit that delivers medication directly to affected areas, preventing contamination and ensuring effective external treatment, featuring designs such as raised surfaces for massage and medication retention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If internal medication is used to treat conditions like hemorrhoids and vulvo-vaginitis, then internal affected areas can be treated, but external affected areas remain untreated and adjacent areas become contaminated
Solution Approach 1:
The treatment system is divided into two distinct components: a suppository for internal administration and a protective pad for external application. This segmentation allows medication to be delivered to both internal and external affected areas simultaneously, while the pad's containment structure prevents medication from contaminating adjacent areas and underwear.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the suppository and protective pad into an integrated treatment system. The pad is positioned to receive and contain medication that may be expelled from the suppository, ensuring that external affected areas receive treatment while preventing contamination of surrounding areas.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a non-permeable protective layer is added to prevent medication diffusion, then contamination of adjacent areas is prevented, but medication delivery to external areas may be blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The protective pad incorporates a non-permeable protective layer in specific areas where contamination prevention is needed, while leaving other areas permeable or open to allow medication delivery to external affected areas. This local differentiation of material properties enables simultaneous achievement of containment and treatment functions.

AI summary
This invention relates to a more effective and comfortable method of treatment for problems such as hemorrhoids, vulvo-vaginitis, or post op, which the problems are commonly both internal and external and using the medication internally may not be effective for the external problems. Thus the applicant has introduced new methods of the application of the medicine to these areas in his previous applications and now he adds some more models and methods for reaching these goals easier. The new means consists of a pad means with use of a medication providing units such as a suppository, in which the pad means, prevents contamination of the underwear. Also he introduces suppository units made from a polymer and a method which allows the application of medications to the suppository and pads easy.
