Abstract

This invention is designed for patients who have difficulty emptying the bladder when urinating, is designed with soft, rounded shapes and is a tool for optimal anatomical coupling. Constituted from a rigid material, to facilitate its hardness and thus be able to exert pressure safely. With an ergonomic shape that perfectly defines the bladder coupling profile, being adaptable to patients in a unisex way. It is used by pressing the device in the suprapubic area, at the height of the bladder until it is emptied. This device is designed to relieve symptoms in urinary retention and increase its emptying, with greater precision. It will be applied within the technical field referring to the medical or health sector. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

DESCRIPTION

Manumiction for patients with neurogenic bladder or similar pathology

The present invention relates to a novel, original and practical device with an organic shape and ergonomic grip in the rear part of the piece. Inspired by a closed fist-shaped arm with soft rounded shapes. Designed for people who have difficulty in their bladder when urinating.

At present, as is known, when a patient has many urinary retention problems, indicated by his doctor, he presses his bladder with his hands so that he can help his urination be performed more easily. This method known by the name of Maneuver of Credé is a technique that is used (always indicated by a specialist doctor) to relieve symptoms in urinary retention and increase urination. It is about making a suprapubic pressure with the hand during urination to facilitate the complete emptying. It is complementary to the type of "double emptying" of the bladder ... (it is expected a little after urinating and tries again).

This method is especially useful in patients with neurogenic or reeflexic bladder, with good compliance and with decreased urethrocellular resistance. But the use of this maneuver, used several times a day in a continuous way causes the fingers of the hands to gradually become deformed, especially this deformation is more pronounced in children, getting to achieve what in the medical jargon is called Swan Neck , is a deformity that has the middle joint, of the finger of a hand that is in a position of hyperextension and the mint joint of the fingertips is in the flexion position. This is a permanent condition that is caused by an injury or inflammation.

In a normal finger, the ligaments help in the movement and position of the fingers. When an injury or illness affects any of these structures, it causes problems with the alignment of the finger and its function, especially in children in the growth stage.

If we take a look at the anatomy of the hand, we will see that the fingers are formed by three phalanges called the interphalangeal joints. Each finger joint is stretched with the help of tendons called extensor tendons. They are present on the back of the bones in the forearms. These extensor tendons are connected to a band of tissues called ligaments.

They help balance the movement of the finger joints. The strongest ligament is the flying plate that helps straighten and maintain the middle joint of hyperextension. When the flying plate weakens or loses its ability to straighten the joints, it leads to the deformed position of the fingers.

The problem (although it has both surgical and non-surgical treatment) has to do with the pressure that is exerted with the hand to perform the emptying of the bladder, it is for this reason that we have thought of a solution, which would be a device "Manumictor", which would serve to solve the problem and thus, help the urination is performed more easily, avoiding deformations in the fingers due to the pressure exerted on them and the number of times this maneuver is performed in a way Continue throughout the day.

The spirit that has prevailed to capture this idea that motivates the invention, has its roots in providing patients with a tool of optimal coupling, and adapted to the walls of the bladder with the appropriate roundness, shapes and measures to fit a point of the same and thus perform its emptying with precision.

This possibility obviously extends to all those people who have retention problems in their bladder and their doctors advise the Credé technique for emptying. The The advantage of manumiction is that it requires neither equipment nor urinary products and that the fingers of the hand pressing the bladder deform.

To specify the advantages thus briefly commented, to which users and those skilled in the art can add many more, a referenced example of embodiment is described below, which is schematically illustrated and without a single scale determined in the attached sheets, with the express clarification that, since it is an example, it is not appropriate to assign to it an exclusive or limited nature of the scope of protection of the present invention, but simply a purely explanatory and illustrative intention of the basic line on which the same.

The realization of this invention may be carried out in the sizes, materials and formats, which are deemed more convenient for the proposed purposes.

In these sheets of drawings, the:

Figure 1: It shows the device called manumiction, in a front perspective view, where we can see its organic shape and ergonomic grip in the back of the piece. Another aspect that can be considered is its rigid structure, which does not bend when pressed and its soft and rounded shapes perfectly reach the bladder walls that adapt perfectly fulfilling its function in the emptying of it.

Figure 2: It presents a profile view illustrating the invention of the "manumictor apparatus" with an anatomical handle on its side. With an adaptable and applied form as it corresponds to the use, and inspired by an arm with the fist closed and resolved in its preferred form that is with roundnesses and soft forms for its perfect coupling.

In order to associate the two mentioned drawings with the descriptive relationship that will be made in a row, the same parts or pieces that can be seen in the two figures thereof have been distinguished.

In accordance with what was anticipated in a shallow way, the manumiction device in question consists of a rounded head in its upper part and in the form of a closed fist in its lower part, which is the one that exerts the pressure fig. 1 y2 - A.

And its upper part fig. 1y2 -B, is provided with an anatomical handle that will serve both the right hand and the left. It can also be used unisex since its ends are designed for easy attachment to the bladder.

For illustrative purposes, it should be noted that the user will take the instrument by the upper handle B with an ergonomic and rounded shape, place the lower end A, in the form of a closed fist at the height of his bladder (suprapubic area) and press with his hands the roundness of it, until you get urination and emptying it.

From what is described in the accompanying drawings, the advantages of a functional nature, which characterize the invention considered, are clearly highlighted, and it is not considered necessary to elaborate on the details, except for the fact that the right of the inventor to introduce further modifications of detail without going beyond the limits and scope of the subsequent clauses.
