Abstract

The device has a band (1) with a bore (4) in which wires (5) of a perineal rehabilitation probe are placed, and with ends including hypoallergenic adhesives (2). The band is doubled and crossed to form a cross. The band is made of flexible and light material and positioned on a skin at proximal or distal periphery of a perineal zone. The band is adaptable to shapes of a human body, and the hypoallergenic adhesives are conserved by non-adherent and detachable protection films (3). The protection films are regrouped into a single element.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif à usage unique, externe et non invasif destiné à maintenir en place des sondes endocavitaires utilisées pour la rééducation périnales et la rééducation des incontinences. The present invention relates to a device for single use, external and non-invasive intended to maintain in place endocavitary probes used for perennial reeducation and rehabilitation of incontinence.

Ces sondes sont positionnées dans la cavité vaginal ou rectale afin de recueillir, via les muqueuses, des données physiologiques et ou afin de transmettre au muscles périnéaux, un courant électrique stimulant. Dans certaines pathologies périnéales et ou sphinctériennes qui nécessitent des séances de rééducation, les patientes souffrent d'inversion de commande et elles éjectent involontairement la sonde en dehors de leur vagin lors d'un effort de poussée ou d'une contraction périnéale demandée par le thérapeute. These probes are positioned in the vaginal or rectal cavity in order to collect, via the mucous membranes, physiological data and or, in order to transmit to the perineal muscles, a stimulating electrical current. In certain perineal and / or sphincteric pathologies that require reeducation sessions, patients suffer from inversion of control and they involuntarily eject the probe outside their vagina during a pushing effort or a perineal contraction requested by the therapist. .

Dans d'autres cas, les patientes souffrent de béances vaginales ou vulvaires et elles ne parviennent pas à conserver la sonde dans leur vagin pendant la séance de rééducation, les dimensions des sondes existantes étant inadaptées à la distension anormale des tissus. In other cases, the patients suffer from vaginal or vulvar voids and they fail to keep the probe in their vagina during the rehabilitation session, the dimensions of the existing probes being unsuitable for the abnormal distension of the tissues.

De même, les protocoles de rééducation comportent, dans leur phase terminale, des exercices de contractions périnéales effectuées debout avec la sonde et dans ce cas, la sonde qui est soumise à la gravité tend à sortir du logement physiologique dans lequel elle est introduite. Likewise, the rehabilitation protocols include, in their final phase, exercises of perineal contractions performed standing with the probe and in this case, the probe which is subjected to gravity tends to leave the physiological housing in which it is introduced.

Dans tous ces cas de figure, la sonde perd toute efficience médicale et peut même provoquer des sensations de brûlure ou des décharges électriques (stimulation avec un courant électrique) au moment où elle sort de son logement. Dans la très grande majorité des cas, les sondes proposées sur le marché pour l'utilisation décrite sont dépourvues de systèmes de maintien capables d'assurer leur immobilité dans la cavité physiologique qui les accueille. Dans quelques rares cas, certaines sondes proposées sur le marché assurent un maintien plus ou moins efficace du fait de leurs formes. Ce maintien étant assuré par la sonde elle-même et non par un accessoire additionnel, adaptable à toutes les sondes existantes sur le marché, et pouvant être vendu isolément. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients et assure de manière efficace le maintien de la sonde dans la cavité vaginale ou rectale où elle est implantée. L'originalité de cette invention est qu'elle est extrinsèque à la sonde elle-même et de ce fait, elle s'adapte à tous les types de sondes du marché, y compris celles déjà en service. Le dispositif à usage unique est constitué d'une bandelette (1) en tissu non tissé, percé (4) en son centre pour laisser passer les fils de la sonde. Cette bandelette est équipée à ses extrémités d'adhésifs hypoallergéniques (2) qui sont positionnés de telle sorte qu'ils n'adhèrent pas aux poils pubiens. In all these cases, the probe loses all medical efficiency and may even cause burning sensations or electric shocks (stimulation with an electric current) as it leaves its housing. In the vast majority of cases, the probes available on the market for the use described are devoid of holding systems capable of ensuring their immobility in the physiological cavity that hosts them. In some rare cases, some probes offered on the market ensure a maintenance more or less effective because of their forms. This maintenance is provided by the probe itself and not by an additional accessory, adaptable to all existing probes on the market, and can be sold in isolation. The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages and effectively ensures the maintenance of the probe in the vaginal or rectal cavity where it is implanted. The originality of this invention is that it is extrinsic to the probe itself and therefore, it adapts to all types of probes on the market, including those already in use. The disposable device consists of a strip (1) nonwoven fabric, pierced (4) at its center to let the son of the probe. This strip is equipped at its ends with hypoallergenic adhesives (2) which are positioned in such a way that they do not adhere to the pubic hair.

Après avoir passé les fils (5) de la sonde dans le perçage (4) de la bandelette, le thérapeute positionne la sonde dans la cavité vaginale ou rectale. Après avoir enlevé les protections des deux pastilles adhésives, il les appliques sur la peau de la (du) patiente (t) en mettant la bandelette en légère tension de manière à la précontraindre. L'un des patchs adhésifs est placé à proximité du pubis en dehors de la zone pileuse et l'autre sur une fesse. Quelle que soit sa forme, la sonde est ainsi parfaitement maintenue en place par la bandelette précontrainte, elle ne peut tomber ou être éjectée durant la séance de rééducation, que la patiente soit allongée ou debout. La sonde conserve ainsi toute son efficience durant toute la séance de rééducation et les risques de décharges électriques qui lui sont intrinsèques sont totalement supprimés. After passing the son (5) of the probe into the piercing (4) of the strip, the therapist positions the probe in the vaginal or rectal cavity. After having removed the protections of the two adhesive pads, he applies them to the patient's skin (t) by putting the strip lightly so as to preload it. One of the adhesive patches is placed near the pubis outside the hairy area and the other on a buttock. Whatever its shape, the probe is perfectly held in place by the prestressed tape, it can not fall or be ejected during the rehabilitation session, whether the patient is lying or standing. The probe thus retains all its efficiency during the entire rehabilitation session and the risks of electric shock that are intrinsic to it are completely eliminated.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation ou d'utilisation : - la bandelette peut être réalisée dans tout matériau souple et approprié. - elle peut être positionnée indifféremment sur la peau en 35 périphérie proximale ou distale de la zone périnéale. - le dispositif peut être à usage unique ou réutilisable. - la forme aménagée pour le passage des fils de la sonde peut être autre que ronde et peut être positionnée à tout endroit sur le dispositif de maintien de la sonde. - l'adhésif bicompatible peut être remplacé par tout autre 5 mode de fixation éphémère, non invasif, et non délétère. - l'adhésif ou un moyen similaire peut être positionné sur toute ou partie de la bandelette. - la bandelette peut revêtir toute forme simple ou complexe et toute épaisseur pourvu qu'elle assure la fonction 10 revendiquée. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention tel qu'il doit être positionné sur la sonde vaginale ou anale avant l'utilisation sur la (le) patiente (t). 15 La figure 2 est une photo en noir et blanc d'un dispositif appliqué sur une sonde du marché. La figure 3 représente le dispositif en position d'utilisation sur la vue frontale d'un périnée féminin. La figure 4 représente le dispositif en position 20 d'utilisation sur une coupe sagittale d'un périnée féminin. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une bandelette (1) souple et légère pouvant s'adapter aux formes du corps humains. Un adhésif hypoallergénique (2) est placé aux deux 25 extrémités de cette bandelette. La conservation des pastilles adhésives (2) est assurée par les films de protection (3) non adhérents et aisément détachables. Selon une variante non représentée, les films de 30 protection (3) peuvent être regroupés en un seul élément. Dans ce cas, l'adhésif est déposé aux endroits appropriés sur une feuille de tissu non tissé de dimensions variables. Une feuille de protection détachables de l'adhésif est appliquée sur l'ensemble et le tout est découpé (emporte pièce, laser, jet 35 d'eau haute pression, etc.) à la forme définitive pour obtenir le dispositif. According to particular embodiments or use: - The strip can be made of any flexible and suitable material. it can be positioned indifferently on the skin at the proximal or distal periphery of the perineal zone. the device can be single-use or reusable. - The form arranged for the passage of the son of the probe may be other than round and can be positioned anywhere on the probe holding device. the bicompatible adhesive may be replaced by any other ephemeral, non-invasive, and non-deleterious mode of attachment. - The adhesive or a similar means can be positioned on all or part of the strip. the strip may take any simple or complex shape and any thickness provided that it provides the claimed function. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows the device of the invention as it is to be positioned on the vaginal or anal probe before use on the patient (t). Figure 2 is a black-and-white photograph of a device applied to a commercially available probe. Figure 3 shows the device in use position on the front view of a female perineum. Figure 4 shows the device in use position on a sagittal section of a female perineum. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a strip (1) flexible and lightweight that can adapt to human body shapes. A hypoallergenic adhesive (2) is placed at both ends of this strip. The adhesive pellets (2) are preserved by the non-adhering and easily detachable protective films (3). According to a variant not shown, the protective films (3) can be grouped into a single element. In this case, the adhesive is deposited in the appropriate places on a sheet of nonwoven fabric of variable dimensions. A protective sheet detachable from the adhesive is applied to the assembly and the whole is cut (punch, laser, high pressure water jet, etc.) to the final shape to obtain the device.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la bandelette aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 15 mm de largeur et 250 mm de longueur. Selon une variante non représentée, la bandelette peut 5 être doublée et croisée formant une croix et offrant ainsi plus de deux points adhésifs de fixation. Selon des variantes non représentées, le trou (4) aménagé au centre de la bandelette ou de la croix peut revêtir différentes formes pourvu qu'il soit aménagé pour laisser 10 passer le(s) fil(s) de la sonde. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à assurer le maintien des sondes vaginales ou anales de rééducation périnéales dans leur position d'utilisation allongée ou debout. 15 By way of non-limiting example, the strip will have dimensions of the order of 15 mm in width and 250 mm in length. According to a variant not shown, the strip can be doubled and crossed forming a cross and thus providing more than two adhesive attachment points. According to variants not shown, the hole (4) arranged in the center of the strip or the cross may take different forms provided that it is arranged to let pass the (s) wire (s) of the probe. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to ensure the maintenance of vaginal or anal pelvic reeducation probes in their position of elongated or standing use. 15
