UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE B. SWEGER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SIGMOlD-IRRIGATOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent No. 520,275, dated May 22, 1894. Application filed September 21,1893. Serial No. 486,129. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. SWEGER, of Chicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sigmoid Medicators and Irrigators, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple, efficient and economical sigmoid medicator and irrigator, and the invention consists in the features, details and arrangements hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of my improved irrigator and medicator, Fig. 2 a section of one of the parts enlarged; and Fig. 3 a sectional detail taken on line 3 of Fig. 2.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a direct sigmoid medicator and irrigator to thoroughly medicate or irrigate the diseased portion of the sigmoid fiexure and rectum by a direct flow, without allowing the injected substancetoenter the rectum sigmoid flexure or colon proper, farther than the diseased portion, and to cause the injected sub-- stance to be forced out after having accomplished the desired medication or irrigation.
In making my improved medicator and irrigator, I use a metallic tube, A, preferably made of fine gage steel, bent into the proper shape to be easily inserted into the rectum, and to which is given a coating of nickel plate. I provide this tube with a bulb, B, located at the upper end, and having any desired number of perforations b. This bulb is provided with a lantern cap, 0, preferably secured to it by means of screw-threads, b,
having any desired number of elongated slots, 0, for the outflow of the liquid,and a deflecting plate, D, against which the medicatin g substance impinges and is prevented from entering the colon, while at the same time it is allowed to flow out through the slots and medicate the diseased portion. The tube is also provided with a button, E, by which a rubber tube of any usual kind of syringe is secured to it, a thumb-piece, G, to assist in inserting the medicator, and a sheath, H, to keep the heat away from the sphincter. This button, thumb-piece and sheath are preferably made of vulcanized rubber, and may be secured to the tube in any convenient manner.
In using my improved medicator, it is attached to any kind of syringe with a rubber hose, and the bulbous end is introduced through the rectum up to the diseased point. The injection is 'then turned on and allowed to flow as desired. If it be desired to medicate the diseased portion only, the substance is allowed to flow through easily, coming out of the lantern slots and back through the passage outside of the tube. If it be the desire to irrigate thoroughly, a full force of the substance is forced through the instrument, and coming out of the bulb is impinged against the deflector, forced out against the diseased portion and back out through the passage, outside the tube. The deflector fills the passage and acts as a stop to prevent the substance from entering the colon proper, while it assists the forcing out of the substance.
I clain1 In sigmoid medicators and irrigators the combination of a tube having the desired shape, same being made to conform to the natural position of the rectum and sigmoid flexure, a bulb at the forward end of such tube and provided with openings so arranged as to throw the fluid forward and to the sides, and a deflector cap detaohably secured to such bulb to prevent the further forward flow of the liquid, and provided with longitudinal openings for its outflow, substantially as described.
