[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a labia magnifier used for self-urinating a woman suffering from cervical spinal cord injury.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of urinating a person having a neuropathic bladder disorder, there is a self-urinating method in which a catheter is inserted through a urethra orifice to discharge urine, and many people use this method. Injury to the spinal cord also causes neuropathic bladder disorders, so this method is often used as one of urination management methods. Among females with spinal cord injury, those with female cervical spinal cord injury were unable to open the labia to expose the urethral opening, which is the pre-operation for inserting a catheter, due to lack of finger dexterity. For this reason, assistance urinary urination was inevitable.

[0003] In the case of female cervical spinal cord injuries with complete paralysis, there is no proper urinary respiratory measures, and the center does not recover from urinary retention due to intentional hyperextension of the bladder wall in the acute phase There is a way to do that. For those who manage the acute phase by this method, the urinary tract can be managed without urinary incontinence by increasing the bladder capacity and performing self-urineation. By doing so, we believe that it is possible to become independent of urination.

[0004] Conventionally, a catheter is inserted while touching the labia (with the risk of bacteria entering the bladder) without completely exposing the urethral orifice, or as described above, with the cooperation of a caregiver. In most cases, assisted urine was given.

Conventionally, in the case of male cervical spinal cord injuries, the residual level can be self-urinated by the finger motion of C6A, but in the case of females, the self-urinating operation becomes independent if the level does not fall below the thoracic spinal cord level. It is difficult at present. In the nurse's instruction of dilation of the labia, the index finger and the middle finger of one hand are applied to the vulva, and while pressing and opening the fingers, the labia are opened and the urethral opening is put out. Then, insert the catheter with the other hand.
C6B 理由 -C8 level One of the reasons that a female cervical spinal cord injured person cannot support self-urine insufficiency is that with this level of finger movement, the labia can be opened with one hand and the urethral opening cannot be put out.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for opening a labia even in a person with cervical spinal cord injury who has poor hand movements and using a labia magnifier that enables self-urination.
It is an object of the present invention to make a urination operation that has been dependent on an assistant every time the urination is repeated from eight to eight times.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a plurality of forearm fixing belts are provided on an attachment plate, an arm plate intersecting the plate is provided at the front end of the attachment plate, and a base portion of the arm plate is provided. The opening and closing plate is pivotally supported, and the opening and closing plate and the end of the arm plate are aligned at the same length, and the opening and closing plate is made freely openable and closable in the direction parallel to the arm plate. And a lever for opening and closing the opening and closing plate is provided at the base end of the opening and closing plate,
A labia magnifier with the lever provided on the arm plate side. The stopper comprises the labia magnifier according to the invention, wherein the stopper holds the lever and can self-hold the open / close plate in an open state.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the attachment plate 1 is fixed to the lower surface of one of the forearm 9 and the hand 10 with the fixing belts 2, 2, as shown in FIG. When the lever 7 is pressed against the vulva and inserted between the labia 11 and 11 (FIG. 4), and the other hand is used to tilt the lever 7 from the solid line position to the imaginary line position in FIG. The opening / closing plate 4 is self-maintained in a state of being opened from the solid line position to the imaginary line position in FIG. 1 around the support 5, and the labia 11, 11 are opened to expose the urethral opening 12 as shown in FIG. State is maintained.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the catheter 13 is inserted from the urethral opening 12 with the other hand to conduct urine, and then the urethral opening 12 is disinfected by the disinfecting device held by the other hand. When the lever 7 is removed from the stopper 8 and rotated to the original position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1), the insertion pieces 6, 6 are closed to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. Is removed from the local part, and the self-urinating operation ends.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The middle of a plurality of forearm fixing belts 2 and 2 is fixed to a base plate 1 made of a transparent synthetic resin by caulking 14 and 14, and a belt insertion / return fitting 15 is provided at one end.
The other end inserted through 5 is folded back and the attachment plate 1 is fastened and fixed to the left arm 9 and the palm by the hook-and-loop fastener 16 (see FIG. 3).

The front end of the attachment plate 1 is bent downward by approximately 90 degrees to form an arm plate 3 that intersects the attachment plate 1, and an opening / closing plate 4 is pivotally supported 5 at the base of the arm plate 3.

The opening / closing plate 4 and the arm plate 3 are arranged such that the ends thereof are made equal in length, and the opening / closing plate 4 is pivoted in a direction parallel to the arm plate 3.
Are formed to be freely openable and closable around the center, and the interlabial insertion pieces 6, 6 are respectively protruded toward the front side at the front end portions.

The opening and closing plate 4 is provided at the base end of the opening and closing plate 4.
Is provided, and a stopper 8 of the lever 7 is provided at the base of the arm plate 3.

The stopper 8 is formed of a C-shaped cylinder made of a synthetic resin having elasticity. The lever 7 is fitted into the stopper 8 through an opening groove 8 'of the stopper 8, and the fitted lever 7 can be held by itself. Thus, the opening / closing plate 4 is opened, and the insertion pieces 6, 6 are opened from the solid line position to the imaginary line position in FIG.

The lever 7 can be operated with the other hand. Reference numeral 17 in the figure denotes a pulling fitting provided at the other end of the belt 2, and reference numeral 13 'denotes a small hole formed in the catheter.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, C6BΙΙ to C6C which have not been able to self-support the self urinating operation until now.
An eight-level female cervical spinal cord injured person can use this labia magnifier to open the labia 11 and 11 with only one hand 10 and to expose the urethral orifice 12 without the help of an assistant. Thus, a state in which self urination can be performed by inserting a catheter with the other hand can be achieved.
