DE20309923U1 - Anal expander device with an adjustable diameter has a conical to round leading end, a cylindrical body and a flanged rear end limiting the extent of the possible entry of the device - Google Patents

Abstract

The anal expander device with an adjustable diameter from 5 mm to 60 mm has a conical to round leading end, a cylindrical body and a flanged rear end limiting the extent of the possible entry of the device. The overall length of the without its handle depends on medical requirements, and can range from 5 cm to 30 cm.

Description

The invention relates to a medical Therapy device, that for anticonvulsant treatment of the anal canal (sphincter cramps), for Therapy for tearing of the anal skin - the so-called anal fissure - for preventive purposes Treatment of hemorrhoids etc. can be used. Also treatment is periodic Diarrhea attached.

So far, these clinical pictures with so-called anal stretchers, whose diameters cannot be adjusted, treated. These devices cause by their conical course when inserted into severe pain in the anus. Bleeding injuries also often occur of internal hemorrhoids or the venous node; these are naturally in the direction the flow of stool, i.e. against the direction of insertion of the anal dilator. this leads to automatically causes a spasm of the sphincter and thereby in turn to be stronger Pain.

The anal stretchers available on the market Usually made of plastic or glass, can Example of older People are difficult or impossible to use without help. this leads to then often to improper use or premature termination of therapy. The consequence of this is often that the anal stretching outpatient under anesthesia must be done by the doctor. Here can there are complications such as muscle tears etc. - these to lead then to uncontrolled chair exits.

To make matters worse, that the recommended duration of therapy several times over a long period of time Every day 5 - 10 Minutes.

My invention now enables a painless insertion of the anal dilator, since it has a minimal diameter when inserted of just a few millimeters.

After introduction, this can then slowly start the pain limit can be increased up to the target size. This will Injuries to the anal canal, internal hemorrhoids, venous nodes and of the sphincter avoided.

With conventional anal stretchers - around the achieve equal success - with several anal stretchers of different diameters can be worked; this means, after insertion of the anal stretcher with 15mm must be from an anal stretcher with 25mm to be replaced etc. It is also advantageous that the therapy is automatic either by vibration or pulsation of the diameter of the rod can; this leads to for quicker relaxation of the sphincter muscles.

The device can be operated done conveniently by the user; he can determine himself how quickly the recommended stretch is achieved.

By extending the controls, they move in sight or can comfortably with your hands be operated with a relaxed posture.

The doctor can also use our anal stretcher use in outpatient stretching; is also a clinical mission conceivable, since until now the simplest aids like human Fingers are used. The clear advantage here is that can be stretched with "feeling".

Claims (5)

Anal stretcher adjustable in diameter from 5 to 60mm, the coarse pointed to round conical begins, then tubular to the End, being the tubular section clearly outweighs. At the end there is a greatly enlarged section (larger than 60mm), to prevent the anus from penetrating too far. The total length of the Anal stretchers without a handle should meet the medical need, which can range from 5 to 30 cm. Analdehner to claim protection 1 The diameter should be adjusted using a method that is mechanical, or hydraulic via a cavernous body (also pneumatic via air) or a non-compressible medium to go ahead. Anal stretchers for protection claim 1 The adjustment of the diameter depending on the version Intervals of the same duration or variable; also static operation is possible. Furthermore, the anal stretcher can be used vibrating. Anal stretchers for protection claim 1 The anal stretchers should be a kind Get handle that allows easy handling. Anal stretchers for protection claim 1 The anal stretchers should have a surface skin-friendly anti-allergenic material.
