DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved configuration of an enema.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an enema is generally composed of a container portion and a long insertion portion connected to the container portion and having a pouring hole at the tip. In the container portion, a laxative such as glycerin is stored as an enema solution, and in normal cases, the enema is ejected from the ejection hole of the insertion portion with a pressurizing operation on the container portion. .

[0003] Due to the function of spouting the enema,
2. Description of the Related Art Enemas in which a container portion and an insertion portion are integrally formed of a flexible plastic material such as polyethylene have been widely used.

As shown in FIG. 8, a recent enema 21 is designed to increase the ejection power of the enema.
A plurality of folds 22a are provided in the container 22 for accommodating the enema liquid 27 along a direction substantially perpendicular to the pressing direction, and a bellows-like portion 24 is provided between the container 22 and the insertion portion 23. Some are also commercially available. The bellows-like portion 24 can increase the internal pressure of the container portion 22 by contraction and deformation thereof, and can easily perform operations such as pressurizing the container portion 22 when the insertion portion 23 is inserted from below. Therefore, it also functions as a bent portion for angularly displacing the insertion portion 23 and the container 22.

[0005] The long form of the insertion portion 23 is inserted from the anus of a human or the like, and the ejection hole 24 at the tip of the insertion portion 23 reaches the rectum sufficiently so that the enema liquid 27 ejected from the ejection hole 24 is discharged. This is because it is held in the rectum.

[0006] In a conventional enema used in such a state, as shown in FIG.
In general, the liquid stopper 26 is fitted to the distal end of the insertion portion 23 to prevent the leakage of the liquid.

[0007]

In a configuration in which the liquid stopper cap 26 is fitted as in the above-mentioned conventional enema 21, it is necessary to easily remove the liquid stopper cap 26 during use. Liquid stopper cap 2
The range covered by 6 is limited to the distal end portion of insertion portion 23. However, in this case, the insertion section 23
Since most of the outer peripheral portion of is exposed, the insertion portion 23 cannot be handled hygienically until use.

Further, as described above, since the insertion portion 23 of the enema 21 is made of a plastic material or the like, since the outer surface of the insertion portion 23 is not slippery, when the insertion portion 23 is inserted from the anus to the rectum. It is often painful due to friction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an enema that can maintain the entire insertion portion in a sanitary condition before use and can eliminate pain associated with the insertion, together with a liquid stopper for the ejection hole at the tip of the insertion portion. And

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, an enema according to the present invention comprises a container for accommodating an enema solution, and a container which is connected to the container and has a spout at the tip. In an enema consisting of a long insertion portion, a lubricant is applied on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion, and the lubricant application surface of the insertion portion and the ejection holes are covered with a seal member. It is characterized by becoming.

According to the above-mentioned enema of the present invention, the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion is coated with the lubricant, and further, the sealing member is coated on the surface where the lubricant is applied. Hygiene can be maintained. As a lubricant, a liquid agent such as glycerin can be used.

As the sealing member, a rubber material or a plastic material such as a shrink processed material can be used.
Since this seal member also covers the ejection hole at the distal end of the insertion portion, the seal member simultaneously exerts the function of stopping the liquid for the enema liquid contained in the container.

The thus configured enema of the present invention can be used with the sealing member of the insertion portion removed. By removing the seal member, the lubricant is exposed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. Therefore, the insertion portion can be smoothly inserted from the anus to the rectum without causing pain by the action of the lubricant.

The enema of the present invention has a configuration in which one or two or more squeezed portions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion in addition to those having a straight outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. It includes a configuration in which one or two or more depressions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the portion.

In the case where the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion is straight, if the operation of peeling off the seal member is not performed very well, the thickness of the lubricant applied becomes uneven on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. When inserted into the anus, the lubricant may be peeled off from the surface of the insertion portion by the tightening action of the anus, and the lubricating action may not be sufficiently exerted. Such drawbacks can be caused by incomplete initial application of the lubricant.

[0016] One or two or more constricted portions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the above-described insertion portion, or one or more recessed portions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. According to this, the amount of the lubricant applied to the constricted portion or the depressed portion is inevitably excessive. For this reason, at the time of insertion into the anus, the excessive lubricant is pushed out to the surface portion other than the squeezed portion and the recessed portion in the insertion portion by the tightening action of the anus. As a result, the lubricant is supplied to the surface portion of the insertion portion other than the constricted portion and the recessed portion, and as a result, the lubricating action at the time of insertion into the anus is effectively exerted. The number of the constricted portions and the recessed portions is not particularly limited as long as the above-described action is exerted, but is a number in a range of 2 to 4 from the viewpoint that the above-described action can be effectively exerted. Is preferred.

The enema of the present invention described above has a configuration in which a fold similar to the above-described conventional product is provided in the container, and a bellows having the same function between the container and the insertion portion. May be provided.

[0018]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an enema according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Enema A shown in FIG.
The container 1, the bellows 2, and the insertion part 3 are integrally connected in order by a polyethylene material.

The insertion section 3 is connected to the bellows section 2 via a neck section 4 and has a jet hole 5 at the end thereof. A liquid lubricant 6 is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 3, and is covered with a rubber seal member 7 from the ejection hole 5 to the entire surface on which the lubricant 6 is applied. Therefore, the entirety of the insertion portion 3 includes the lubricant 6 and the seal member 7.
And good hygiene is maintained.

An enema liquid 8 is accommodated in the container 1, and by pressing the side surface of the container 1,
The enema liquid 8 is ejected from the ejection hole 5 of the insertion portion 3 through the bellows portion 2. In order to facilitate the pressing operation on the container 1, a pair of folds 1a is formed on the side surface of the container 1 in a symmetrical form.

In order to use the enema A, it is necessary to peel off the sealing member 7 of the insertion section 3 in advance. Seal member 7
The state of the enema A after peeling was shown in the figure. When the seal member 7 is peeled off, the state where the lubricant 6 is applied is exposed on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 3. Next, when the insertion portion 3 of the enema A is inserted into the anus of a person, the outer surface of the insertion portion 3 and the anus 9 are inserted.
Since the lubricant 6 is interposed between the rectum 10 and the inner surface of the rectum 10, a good lubricating action is exhibited. As a result, the insertion of the insertion portion 3 can be performed smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the insertion portion 3 is inserted into the anus 9, the bellows portion 2 is contracted, and the inside of the container portion 1 is pressurized. For this reason, by further pressing the side surface of the container unit 1, the internal pressure of the container unit 1 and the like becomes extremely high, so that the enema liquid 8 can be jetted out of the jet holes 5 with great force.

Is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral surface, and a lubricant 14 is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 11. The application amount of the lubricant 14 is excessive 14a in the narrowing portion 12 compared to the other surface portion 11a of the insertion portion 11. Further, a portion extending from the ejection hole 13 at the tip of the insertion portion 11 to the entire surface to which the lubricant 14 is applied is covered with a resin seal member 15 by shrink processing. Thereby, the insertion portion 11
Is maintained in good hygiene by the lubricant 14 and the resin seal member 15. The other components of the enema B have the same configuration as the enema A.

According to the enema B, when the insertion portion 11 with the resin seal member 15 removed is inserted into the anus 9,
Each time the anus 9 fits into the constriction 12, the excess lubricant 1
4a is extruded from the narrowed portion 12 to the surface portion 11a. Therefore, when the lubricant 14 on the surface portion 11a is diluted when the resin seal member 15 is peeled off or for other reasons, the lubricant 14 is applied to the surface portion 11a by the extrusion of the lubricant 14a. Will be replenished. As a result of the effective operation of the lubricant 14,
The entire insertion section 11 can be smoothly inserted from the anus 9 into the rectum 10.

Next, an enema C according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. The enema C has an insertion portion 16 in which a plurality of depressions 17 are formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a lubricant 19 is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 16. The amount of the lubricant 19 to be applied is determined by
