Description

  The present invention relates to a device for the treatment of hemorrhoids. In particular, the present invention relates to a device for massaging the inner hemorrhoid and the outer hemorrhoid by automatic movement of the instrument. The present invention also relates to a device that is held in the anal canal and moved by a peristaltic movement of the surface of the anal canal in order to massage the internal hemorrhoid and the external hemorrhoid.

  There are several anal treatment dilators and various mechanical devices intended to facilitate treatment of hemorrhoidal tissue. For example, US Pat. No. 3,675,642 issued July 11, 1942 is a post-operative stationary device for dilating the anal canal. The device has a diameter in excess of 1.25 inches and is equipped with a shoulder at the bottom of the device that limits the free movement of the device. The large diameter of this device causes a bowel reaction in the anorectal region. Also, the diameter of the device narrows to less than 1.5 inches from the base flange toward the end of the device. The wide portion of the tapered surface that gradually narrows toward the relaxed end of the device receives a downward thrust force from the lateral pressure of the anorectum. Some support is required to maintain the device in the anal canal.

  U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,914 manually massaging the anal canal. April 22, 1986, Z. R. U.S. Pat. No. 4,583,542 issued to Void describes a stationary device in which free automatic movement is limited by a steep peripheral shoulder at the head and a large flange associated with the device. This device is intended to remain in a rest position. Inventor's US Pat. No. 5,797,950 utilizes anal sphincter contraction to massage the prostate by reciprocating linear motion of a device held by a rod attached to the perineum.

  Inventor's US Pat. No. 6,589,193 utilizes static and dynamic lateral pressure of the entire anal canal and peristaltic movement of the anal canal to massage the internal and external hemorrhoids. With the exception of US Pat. No. 6,589,193, there is no invention moving the device to massage the inner and outer hemorrhoids by the activity of the comb membrane and the peristaltic movement in the anal canal.

    An object of the present invention is to cause peristaltic movement in the anal canal. The device is held by the comb membrane and moved slightly back and forth by a peristaltic movement within the comb membrane. The comb is a narrow recess in the anal canal. This slight movement effectively massages the inner and outer hemorrhoids without compromising the condition.

  Furthermore, peristaltic movement within the comb membrane consumes a large amount of energy and increases the circulation of fresh blood to the anorectal region, thus improving the condition of hemorrhoids.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a small diameter device with a smooth surface so as not to exacerbate the condition of hemorrhoids.

  It is a further object of the present invention to provide a hemorrhoid treatment device that is easy to use, inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

The present invention basically includes a first end portion 11 , a central portion 20, and a concave portion 17 . The first end portion includes various surfaces extending from the spherical upper portion to the central end portion. The central portion is formed by surfaces of various shapes such as a cylindrical shape , a convex shape , and a concave shape extending from the central end portion 15 to the first end 16 of the concave portion . The diameter of both ends of the Hisashi Naka portion 20 is less than 20 mm. This small diameter optimizes the activity of the comb and reduces the effects of lateral pressure on the inner hemorrhoids . The length of the Hisashi Naka portion 20 is a 12Mm～20mm, including a 12mm and 20 mm. The recess 17 includes a portion between the first end 16 and the second end 18 . The recess 17 is provided so that the comb film can hold the device . The length of the recessed portion 17 is 12Mm～20mm, including a 12mm and 20 mm. The diameters of the first end and the second end of the recess are substantially equal .

  FIG. 1 shows a hemorrhoid treatment device 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the hemorrhoid treatment device of the present invention. Device 10 is utilized to move with the comb membrane within the anal canal. This comb is a narrow recess in the anal canal.

The device 10 has dimensions suitable for fitting into the human anal canal. The device 10 includes a first end portion 11, a central portion 20, and a recess 17. The first end portion 11 includes an upper end 5, a spherical upper portion 7, and a cylindrical surface 14 extending from the upper portion 7 to an end 15 of the central portion. The end 15 is indicated by a broken line h. The central portion 20 includes a cylindrical surface 21 extending from the end 15 to the concave first end 16. The recess 17 has a concave surface extending from the first end 16 to the second end 18 of the recess 17. The second end 18 is indicated by a broken line g. The lengths of the central portion 20 and the concave portion 17 are substantially equal.

The device 10 may terminate at the second end 18, but various auxiliary appendages, extensions, stops and handles are attached to the second end 18 if desired. However, in FIG. 1, a handle 22 is provided at the second end 18 .

The distance from the broken line h at the end 15 to the broken line g at the concave second end 18 is 25 mm to 40 mm, and includes 25 mm and 40 mm. This distance represents the total length of the anal sphincter. The length of the central portion 20 is 12 mm to 20 mm, and a 12 mm and 20 mm. This distance represents the length of the inner hemorrhoid. The length of the recess 17 is 12 mm to 20 mm, and a 12 mm and 20 mm. This distance represents the length of the comb membrane. The diameters of the end 15, the first end 16, and the second end 18 are substantially equal. Typically these diameters are less than 19 mm. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the optimum diameter is less than 12 mm.

  Since the first end 11 is outside the range of the anal sphincter, and the lateral pressure of the sphincter does not affect the first end 11, the cylindrical surface 14 of the first end 11 is replaced with a surface of various shapes. Also good.

Further, the cylindrical surface 21 of the central portion 20 may be replaced with various shapes. Even when using the surface of such a variety of shapes, the difference in diameter between the first end 16 of the end 15 and the recess 17 of the central portion 20 is substantially equal.

FIG. 2 shows the relationship between hemorrhoid treatment device 10 and the components of the anal canal. The main components of the anal canal are an inner hemorrhoid part 80, a comb film 81, and a subcutaneous outer sphincter 83. The subcutaneous outer sphincter 83 includes the external hemorrhoid. An enormous portion of the rectum 85 is shown above the inner hemorrhoid portion 80. In use of the apparatus 10, the recess 17 is inserted into the anal portal tract to match the contour of the pecten 81. The length of the recess 17 of the device 10 is set to 12 mm to 20 mm in order to adapt to the length of the comb film 81.

The comb membrane 81 is approximately half of the anal canal. The comb film 81 has a length of about 12 mm to 20 mm. The comb membrane 81 is characterized by forming a thick, hardened ring of fibrous tissue and the resulting narrowing and contracture form a narrow passage wall.

When the pecten 81 grips the recess 17 of the device 10, unless applied defecated pressure to the device, device 10 can not move from the anal canal. This is because the first end 16 and the second end 18 of the recess 17 serve as a protective wall. When peristalsis pecten 81 is to attempt to remove device 10 from the pecten 81, apparatus slightly vertically moving a short distance pecten within 81. Furthermore, since the diameter of the cylindrical surface 21 of the central portion 20 is constant, the thrust force due to the lateral pressure of the inner hemorrhoid portion with respect to the central portion 20 is offset, and the gripping ability of the comb film 81 is not hindered.

In a situation where the diameter of the end 15 of the central portion 20 is smaller than the length of the comb membrane and a situation where the difference in diameter between the end 15 and the first end 16 is substantially equal, the central portion 20 is caused by the lateral pressure of the inner hemorrhoid portion. The thrust force applied to the device 10 is not generated, so that it has only a slight effect on the device 10 as compared with the gripping force applied to the concave portion 17 by the comb film 81 .

  The peristaltic movement of the comb membrane consumes a large amount of energy. This increases blood circulation and raises the temperature of the hemorrhoid area. As a result, the condition of hemorrhoids is healed.
