Description

{Dual function bowel irrigation tool and system}

The present invention relates to a long-term cleaning tool and system having dual functions, and more particularly, to a long-term cleaning tool having two functions of fluid discharge and suction.

Generally, cases requiring the cleansing of the bowel occur during surgery or before surgery. Particularly, when cleaning the intestine, the fluid may be sprayed toward the inside of the intestines, and then the substance may be washed through a process of sucking the substance containing the foreign substance and the fluid through the suction.

One such cleaning tool in the prior art is, for example, US-A-2005-0256464. US Patent Publication No. 2005-0256464 relates to an apparatus for cleaning the interior of a colon prior to surgery, which includes a cylindrical body through which a washing liquid passes, a distal end of a body provided with a strainer, and a suction member for sucking foreign substances.

By providing the body and the suction member through which the cleaning liquid passes, it is possible to clean foreign substances in the intestines such as defecation while discharging the foreign substances from the intestines. However, such a tool is inefficient when fine cleaning is required inside the intestine or intensive fluid injection is required, and there is a limitation that a desired cleaning result can be obtained even if a large amount of fluid flows.

As another example, Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-0046649. In the case of Korean Patent Publication No. 2010-0046649, the present invention relates to a defecation treatment apparatus capable of inhaling and excreting defecation directly in the rectum when the patient can not solve the defecation alone. In this configuration, a tube-shaped nozzle part capable of being freely bendable so as to be able to enter into the rectum of a human body, a suction part connected to the nozzle part to provide suction force, and a suction part for opening or closing the suction port of the nozzle part, A pressure portion for providing pressure, and the like.

However, such a configuration is not suitable for use in an operation, and when the laparoscope is used instead of the inner wall of the rectum, it is inadequate to use the laparoscope.

Various tools for removing foreign matter and cleaning the interior of the intestine have been conventionally disclosed. However, in particular, it is preferable to spray the fluid toward a specific point easily or to easily wash the fluid by using hydraulic pressure This technique is needed because there is no washing tool available.
