Abstract
The device is made of silastic in order to minimize body irritation. It i composed of a longitudinal tube with a balloon and a transverse pad or a tube The longitudinal tube is formed of a neck (below the balloon) to fit in the anal area. The neck is 2 cm long. The balloon should accommodate 15-30 cc of air The base (designed in the shape of hygienic pads for ladies) should be very sof and malleable to fit into the anal cleft. It should be 7 cm long and 2-4 cm wid and has the valve opening to fill the balloon by a syringe. The device can b modified to be used by patients with colostomy by just changing the base t become more rounded. This may negate the needs to use colostomy bag. Th device can be used in bed ridden patients to arrange for daily washout by having a hole through the longitudinal tube.
Description
An inflatable balloon device for fecal incontinence
Technical Field
Fecal incontinence is a debilitating condition that can be socially and personally incapacitating. The estimated prevalence of fecal incontinence in general population ranges from 1 to 17 %. It is estimated that between $1.5 and $7 Billion / year are spent on care for incontinence in elderly patients in USA alone ( Rao, Am J Gastroenterology 2004, 99(8): 1585).
Disclosure of Invention
Aim of the device: to describe a simple external device that enables the incontinent patient to control the time, frequency and place of defecation is described.
Principle: The device is based on the principle of the "BALL & SOCKET" valve. The "ball" is an inflatable solstice balloon whereas the "socket" is the anorectic junction. The device can be used with minor modification in patients with terminal colostomy to make them continent and avoid the need for colostomy bags.
Patients & Methods: The inflatable plug has been used successfully in eighteen incontinent children for a period ranging from six months to six years. The child decides the amount of air inside the inflatable plug that is comfortable and yet adequate to prevent soiling. This usually ranged between 10 to 15cm of air.
Results & complications: To date, the device has been manufactured manually. All the children tolerated the plug without discomfort. Deflation of the balloon occurred after 3-5 days of use due to defective manufacturing. None of the patients developed ischemia of the bowel or skin excoriations.
Conclusion: This conservative, simple inflatable plug enhances both qualitative and quantitative faecal continence in children with fecal soiling. An improvement in quality of life was also perceived by the patients and their parents. Further proper manufacturing may improve the results.
The device is made of silastic in order to minimise body irritation. There is a neck (below the balloon) to fit in the anal area. The neck is 2 cm long. The balloon should accommodate 15-30 cc of air. The base (designed in the shape of hygienic pads for ladies) should be very soft and malleable to fit into the anal cleft. It should be 7 cm long and 2-4 cm wide and has the valve opening to fill the balloon by a syringe.
We may need to make a fine slit at the tip of the stem with the balloon to allow patient to pass flatus and avoid gaseous distension
Each patient will need 3 every month. Ideally, it should be washable in the washing machine. He would use one, change it when he empties his bowel and wash 2 when they are dirty. In Bed Ridden elderly patients, the stem with the balloon can be hollow with an opening to fit a catheter to do colonic lavage yet keeping the patient dry at all times.
The device can be modified to be used by patients with colostomy by just changing the base to become more rounded. This may negate the needs to use colostomy bag (there are major companies whose only business is manufacturing colostomy bags). Patients can wear swim suits and go swimming and lead normal life.
Any device with one balloon in the colon and a transverse limb in the form of a tube or pad or a balloon could be produced from this patent. The new is the transverse limb as a tube or pad and its application for colostomy or ileostomy openings.
Claims
Claims
1- The use of transverse limb in the form of a pad has never been described before. Any device to control stool incontinence with or without a balloon should not use a transverse limb without permission.
2-The presence of a channel through the transverse and longitudinal limb to allow for washout is to be protected. Any device for stool incontinence that has a transverse limb and a channel should take prior permission.
