Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the birth preparation and birth facilitation of the pregnant woman, with an elongate expansion body which is expandable in its entirety and which can be positioned in the region of the birth canal exit in such a way that it is partly in the vagina and partly outside it.
  • the stretch body is designed as an elongated body which is expandable as a whole and which has an expandable waist which, in the area of the hymenal hem, is guided self-centering during use.
  • the expansion body is designed as a balloon, to the end of which, when used, is connected to a filling hose.
  • the vaginal canal can be temporarily expanded in the known device and thus the birth canal including the hymenal hem can be pre-stretched to facilitate childbirth.
  • the birth canal including the hymenal hem can be pre-stretched to facilitate childbirth.
  • episiotomies and perineal tears as well as an undesirable lowering of the pelvic floor can be significantly reduced.
  • the decrease in perineal incidence in first-time mothers was approximately 35%.
  • the aim of the present invention is to make the known device simpler, safer and particularly easy to handle.
  • this aim is achieved in that an elongated, transverse to the expansion body widening is provided at the end of the expansion body when used outside the vagina, which serves to limit the innermost position of the expansion body in the system against the outer labia ,
  • the expansion body can be designed as a balloon with or without a waist.
  • the waist has a particularly valuable additional gymnastic effect in that the balloon is pressed outwards by the pregnant woman by tensing the muscles. This takes place with the help of the vaginal, pelvic floor and abdominal muscles of the pregnant woman, which simulates the expulsion phase at birth by pressing. The balloon is then pushed inwards again by means of the widening until the widening reaches the contact position.
  • the pregnant woman can safely handle the device herself. By lightly pressing your fingertips against the outside of the enlargement, she introduces the device into the inside of the vagina. The counter movement then takes place, as explained above, in the trained pregnant woman through the same muscles which are responsible for squeezing the baby. Initially, the pregnant woman can help with the squeezing by moving the expansion body outwards by pulling on the widening.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the connection of the balloon to the plate, a neck of the balloon being inserted through a hole in the plate, is characterized by further features in the subclaims. Embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawing. It shows

  • Fig. 1 shows a rigid expansion body 1, preferably made of a physiologically harmless plastic, e.g. made of appropriately hard latex, silicone or a thermoplastic.
  • a nut 2 is molded, with which it can be screwed against a plate-shaped widening 4 by means of a screw 3.
  • the widening 4 preferably consists of the same material as the expansion body 1.
  • an expansion body 1 of the appropriate size can be used.
  • the expansion body 1 has a conical section 9 which tapers towards the widening 4.
  • the expansion body 1 could also have a pear shape with a waist, approximately according to the balloon 5 shown in FIG. 2.
  • Fig. 2 shows an expansion body 1 in the form of an inflatable balloon 5, for example made of latex or a similar rubber-like material, which is connected to a widening 4 in the form of a plate 12. Both parts can also be integrally molded by injection molding getting produced.
  • a filling hose 8 is connected to the balloon 5, the other end of which is connected to an air pump (not shown) with a pressure gauge.
  • a shut-off valve is expediently provided on the manometer, which enables the setting of a specific air pressure inside the balloon 5. For example, if the pregnant woman starts her exercises in the 38th week of pregnancy, she can increase the internal pressure of the balloon for her daily exercises in steps of approximately 10 to 20 mm Hg until a maximum pressure of approximately 160 mm Hg is reached.
  • the balloon 5 has a waist 10 with a short distance behind the plate 12. With the help of this waist 10, the balloon 5 centers itself in the area of the perineum. Towards the inside of the vagina, with increasing filling, the balloon widens from its slim starting shape 19, which facilitates insertion, as shown by broken lines, to a piston-like shape 17, which is particularly suitable for massage of the vaginal and pelvic muscles.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour préparer une femme enceinte à l'accouchement et faciliter l'accouchement lui-même, qui comporte un corps dilatable allongé (1) expansible dans sa totalité et que l'on peut positionner dans la zone de sortie du canal utéro-vaginal de sorte qu'il se trouve en partie à l'intérieur et en partie à l'extérieur du vagin. Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité du corps dilatable (1) se trouvant hors du vagin lors de l'utilisation présente un élargissement allongé (4) perpendiculaire au corps dilatable (1) qui, placé contre les lèvres externes, sert à délimiter la position la plus profonde du corps dilatable (1).
