Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a hemorrhoid treatment device for low temperature therapy that relieves and treats hemorrhoid symptoms by locally cooling the hemorrhoids.

Conventional technology The conventional hemorrhoid treatment device for cryotherapy has a total length of approximately 10 cm.
It is a plastic rod-shaped cylinder with an outer diameter of approximately 1.2 cm, and contains a liquid that solidifies when stored and cooled in a freezer. It was necessary to cool it down to about 5°C.

For this reason, it cannot be used in places without a freezer, and even when needed in an emergency, it takes a considerable amount of time to cool down to the desired temperature, and the patient has to endure pain during that time. . In addition, conventional treatment devices can be reused, but when reusing them, it is difficult to freeze them in a place where food products are normally stored, due to the psychological aversion to objects inserted into the anus. Not only is this undesirable because it gives rise to a feeling of discomfort, but it is also always undesirable from a sanitary standpoint.

Purpose of the invention In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has been developed to provide a method for cryotherapy that can quickly and easily obtain the desired cooling temperature even in places without a freezer, etc., and that does not cause any hygienic problems. The purpose is to provide a hemorrhoid treatment device.

Structure of the device The present invention is designed to cause an endothermic reaction when mixed inside the treatment device body which has a protrusion for insertion into the anus.
The above purpose is achieved by encapsulating more than one type of substance in a mixable manner, mixing the two or more types of substances during use, and rapidly cooling the body of the treatment device by utilizing the endothermic reaction between the substances. That's what I wanted to do.

Example Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates the main body of the treatment device. The treatment device main body 1 is made of a hollow container made of synthetic resin, and this hollow container is composed of a protrusion 2 for insertion into the anus and a holding portion 3. This protrusion 2 consists of a cylinder with a rounded and closed end, and has a length and thickness suitable for insertion into the anus. On the other hand, the holding part 3 is formed of a cylinder with a conical end and a bottom, and is connected to the protrusion 2 in a coaxial arrangement. In this cylinder, the bottom surface 4
A bellows portion 5 is formed which is expandable and retractable in the vertical direction. Inside the treatment device main body, two types of substances that cause an endothermic reaction when mixed are accommodated adjacent to each other. As this type of substance, a suitable amount of a cryogen such as ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate is stored in the protrusion 2 of the treatment device main body 1, and an appropriate amount of water, alcohol, glycol, or a mixture thereof, or sodium chloride is added. A solution obtained by adding sodium carbonate containing crystal water to a mixed solution of glycols, alcohols, and water is sealed in a thin and water-resistant bag 6 made of synthetic resin and stored in the holding part 3 of the treatment device main body 1. do. When using the treatment device of this first embodiment, the bag 6 is broken by pressing the bottom surface 4 of the treatment device with a finger or hitting it against a hard surface, and the treatment device is shaken if necessary. These mix the endothermic reactants and provide the cooling temperature necessary for treatment.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the holding part 3 is provided with a bellows part 5 to make it expandable and contractible, and the bag 6 can be destroyed by contracting the holding part 3 by external pressure. As shown in FIG. 2, a protrusion 7 for destroying the bag may be formed on the inner surface of the holding part 3, and by gripping the holding part 3 strongly from the outside, the holding part 3 may be deformed and the protrusion 7 may break through the bag 6. It is something.

Effects of the invention The present invention is constructed as described above, and by utilizing the endothermic reaction of the substance sealed inside the treatment device body during mixing to rapidly cool the treatment device body, it can be used even in places without a freezer. In addition, even when you want to use it in an emergency, you can use it without having to hold it for a long time.
Furthermore, by making it a disposable device,
It has the effect of not causing any hygiene problems.
