Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for the treatment of hemorrhoids. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices for massaging internal and external hemorrhoids by the self-movement of the device. The present invention also relates to devices that are held within the anal canal and are driven by the peristaltic activity of the surface of the anal canal for the purpose of massaging internal and external hemorrhoids.
  • US Patent No.4,263,914 massages the anal canal manually.
  • US. PatentNo.4,583,542 issued on April 22,1986 to Z.R. Boyd, describes a stationary device with free self movement restricted by a steep circumferential shoulder of the head and a large flange associated with the device. This device is intended to stay in a stationary position.
  • U.S. Patent No . 5 ,797,950 to the present inventor utilizes anal sphincter contractions to massage the prostate by reciprocal linear movement of the apparatus held by a rod set against the perineum region.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,589,193 to the present inventor utilizes the entire anal canal's static and dynamic lateral pressure and the peristaltic activity of the anal canal to massage the internal and external hemorrhoids.
  • no previous invention mobilizes the apparatus to massage the internal and external hemorrhoids by the activity of the pecten and the peristalistic movement within the anal canal.
  • the device is held by the pecten and driven slightly back and forth by the peristaltic activity within the pecten
  • the pecten is a narrow, concaved portion of the anal canal. These slight movements effectively massage the internal and the external hemorrhoids without aggravating the condition.
  • the peristaltic movement within the pecten consumes a large amount of energy, increasing fresh blood circulation to the anorectal area to improve hemorrhoidal conditions.
  • the basic present invention comprises a device having a first end section, a middle section, and a concaved section.
  • the first end section has a bulbous top portion and various surfaces extending to the middle section.
  • the middle section can be formed by various shaped surfaces, such as cylindrical, tapered, convex, and concave with an almost equal diameter at the both ends of the middle section.
  • the diameter of both ends of the middle section will be less than 19mm. This small diameter will serve to optimize the activity of the pecten and to decrease the influence of the lateral pressure of the internal hemorrhoidal area.
  • the length of the middle section is 12mm to 20mm inclusive.
  • the concaved section has an area between a first end thereof and a second end thereof. This concaved section is provided so that the pecten can grip the device.
  • the length of the concaved section is 12mm to 20 mm inclusive. The diameters of the first end and the second end of the concaved section are almost equal. The distance between the top end of the first end section and the second end of the concaved section is less than 100 mm.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0014]
  • FIGURE 1 shows a hemorrhoid treatment device 10 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The device 10 is utilized so as to work with the pecten within the anal canal. This pecten is a narrow concave section of the anal canal.
  • the device 10 has a size suitable for fitting into a human anal canal, the device 10 has a first end section 11 , a middle section 20 and a concaved section 17.
  • the first end section 11 has a top end 5 , bulbous upper portion 7, a cylindrical surface 14 extending from the upper portion 7 to an end 15 of the middle section.
  • the end 15 is indicated by a broken line "h" .
  • the middle section 20 is located between the end 15 and a first end 16 of the concaved section 17.
  • the middle section 20 having a cylindrical surface 21 extending from the end 15 to the first end 16.
  • the concaved section 17 having a concavity extending from the first end 16 to the second end 18 of the concaved section 17.
  • the second end 18 is indicated by a broken line "g".
  • the device 10 can be terminated at the second end 18, or if desired various kind of .auxiliary attachment, extensions, stops and handles, will be connected to the second end 18. However, in the Figure 1 , a handle 22 is secured to the second end 18.
  • the preferred total length from the top end 5 of the first end section to the second end 18 of the concaved section is less than less than 60mm.
  • the distance from the broken line "h" at the end 15 to the broken line "g" at the second end 18 is 25 mm to 40 mm, inclusive. This distance represents an entire length of the anal sphincter.
  • the length of the middle section 20 is 13mm to 19mm inclusive. This distance represents the length of the internal hemorrhoid area.
  • the length of the concaved section 17 is 13mm to 19mm inclusive. This distance represents the length of the pecten.
  • the diameters of the end 15 and the first end 16 and the second end 18 are almost equal. Typically , these diameters will be less than 19mm. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the optimum diameters would be less than 12mm.
  • the cylindrical surface 14 of the first end section 11 can be replaced various shaped surfaces, since this first end section 11 is outside the territory of the anal sphincter, the lateral pressure of the sphincter will not influence the first end section 11.
  • the cylindrical surface 21 of the middle section 20 can be replaced by various shaped surfaces. If such a various shaped surfaces are used, then the diametric difference between the end 15 of the middle section 20 and the first end 16 of the concaved section 17 is ⁇ 15%. When the middle section 20 has a various shaped surface, the diameter of the narrowest portion of the concaved section 17 is no more than the diameter of the end 15 .
  • FIGURE 2 shows the relationship between the hemorrhoid treatment device 10 and components of the anal canal.
  • the main components of the anal canal are the internal hemorrhoid area 80, the pecten 81 and the subcutaneous external sphincter 83.
  • This subcutaneous external sphincter 83 contains the external hemorrhoid.
  • Above the internal hemorrhoid area 80 shows the ampulla's of the rectum 85.
  • the pecten 81 spans more than the middle third of the anal canal.
  • the pecten 81 will have a length of about 13mm to 19mm.
  • the pecten 81 is characterized by the formation of a thick hardened ring of fibrous tissue with resulting stenosis and contracture to form a narrow passage wall.
  • the pecten 81 grips the concaved section 17 of the device 10, without adding evacuative pressure, the device 10 cannot move from the anal canal unless the evacuative pressure is added to the device. This is because the first end 16 and the second end 18 of the concaved section 17 serves as a bulwark. As the peristalistic motion within the pecten 81 continues to try to remove the device 10 from the pecten 81, the device 10 slightly moves backward and forward for a short distance within the pecten 81. Additionally, since the diameter of the cylindrical surface 21 of the middle section 20 is constant, there will be no thrust force caused by the lateral pressure of the internal hemorrhoid area to the middle section 20 and does not interfere the gripping ability of the pecten 81.
  • the thrust force applied to the middle section 20 caused by the lateral pressure of the internal hemorrhoid area has a nominal effect on the device 10 in comparison to the gripping power applied to the concaved section 17 by the pecten 81.
  • the ideal diameter of the first end 16 and the second end 18 of the concaved section 17 is less than the length of the pecten 81.
