Definitions
- the present invention relates to a urination control device for preventing urinary incontinence.
- Urinary incontinence is an involuntary urinary leak that can be objectively proved and is defined as a social and hygienic urinary leak that is closely related to life (International Incontinence Society), and is currently increasing especially in men and women over 40 years old. It is going Among urinary incontinence, the frequency of stress urinary incontinence is the highest, and it is said that female urinary incontinence accounts for more than half of them. Stress urinary incontinence appears involuntarily and causes pain when it is under pressure due to coughing, sneezing, lifting heavy objects, walking for a long time, singing, laughing, and loud.
- the number of patients increases significantly after menopause, but the cause is considered to be weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, which is considered one of the aging phenomena, and has a history of pregnancy and childbirth. It is thought that the frequency is high in women.
- overactive bladder which has recently attracted attention as another cause of urinary incontinence, is that ⁇ urinary urgency is the main symptom, usually accompanied by frequent urination and nocturia, and sometimes urinary incontinence. Syndrome, but no obvious causative disease is found ”(International Urinary Conservation Society, 2002). It is found in 12.4% of men and women over the age of 40. This symptom increases with aging and is said to develop in 20% in the 70s and over 35% in the 80s. Urinary incontinence with cystitis and interstitial cystitis is also increasing.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a device for controlling female urination, which is provided with a bowl-shaped slit-type valve, a ball, or a catheter with a valve in the urethra.
- This device uses a stylet to place the catheter in the female urethra, opens the valve in the catheter, and inserts a device for urination from the outside into the slit valve to excrete the contents in the bladder. That is what we try to make possible.
- Patent Document 2 discloses an incontinence control device including a bladder balloon that is locked to a bladder, a conduit that induces and discharges urine flow, and an operation valve that closes the conduit.
- This device is provided with an opening and closing device for an operating valve by a spring and a manual operating member. By operating the operating member, the metallic valve head is separated from the conduit to urinate, and when the hand is released, the valve head is connected to the conduit by the spring. By closing it, it is intended to control incontinence at will.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a urination control device mainly including a valve disposed at a position close to the bladder in the urethra. This device is designed to control urination according to the abdominal pressure that causes the patient to contract muscles when the valve is opened by the difference between the intravesical pressure in the bladder and the stress of the spring.
- Patent Document 4 discloses a urination control device that is provided with an opening / closing means using a coil and a magnet in a conduit inserted into the urethra and that can be opened and closed externally. With this device, the urinary tract is closed and urination is reliably controlled.
- Patent Document 5 describes that a gel plug that prevents a urinary incontinence by closing a urinary tract by injecting a drug in which polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is mixed with an alginic acid polymer or a boronic acid polymer is described. Yes. At the time of urination, glucose solution or the like is injected into the gel plug so as to break the stability of the gel and dissolve it so that urination can be performed.
- PVA polyvinyl alcohol
- the apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a liquid flow is closed with a slit-type valve, and an apparatus is inserted into the valve to open and urinate. Therefore, even when the device is not inserted, the slit-type structure may not be completely closed even when the valve is closed by the intravesical pressure, and urination is controlled to prevent urinary incontinence completely. Had difficulty.
- the device of Patent Document 2 is an open / close device that closes a conduit with a metallic valve head, and it is difficult to completely prevent urine leakage. Furthermore, there are many members for locking the bladder balloon, the opening / closing device is complicated, and the device is complicated overall. In addition, the use of many metal members may contaminate the urethra with a complicated structure and shape, and may cause a concern of damaging the mucous membrane.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 have been developed for women, it has been difficult to apply these technologies having complicated shapes to men with long urethra as they are. .
- Patent Document 3 The device disclosed in Patent Document 3 is quite complicated in structure and requires a precision because it is a small device installed in a part of the urethra. Cost problems and reliability of urination control are required. It was thought that the problem of accuracy required for the control of urination, stability and urination occurred. Furthermore, since it is a device that always comes into contact with waste products, it was predicted that problems with hygiene due to contamination of dirt and contamination and contamination of the equipment during the use, and problems with the life of the apparatus would occur. In particular, springs are used to control the opening and closing according to the intravesical pressure. Contamination due to the complexity of the structure is a particular concern, and it is considered that performance may be greatly affected, such as changes in the spring coefficient due to deterioration of the constituent materials. It was.
- Patent Document 4 has high reliability and stability of urination control, but the device employing the opening / closing means using the coil is somewhat complicated, and further improvement in cost and accuracy is desired. It was.
- Patent Document 5 requires time and labor to prepare gel materials and devices, inject them into the urethra, and fix and solidify the gel in order to form a gel plug without installing the device in the body. Since it takes time for obstruction, it could be predicted that it might not be possible to deal with sudden urinary incontinence. Further, the obstruction of the urethra due to the gel plug has a problem in the reliability of obstruction particularly when the intravesical pressure is high.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to enable autonomous urination by adjusting the intravesical pressure at the start of urination with the abdominal pressure, and urinary incontinence.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a urination control device that can prevent the above.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a urination control device that can design various bladder pressures when opening and closing, obtain stability and high accuracy, and ensure urination control by reliable blocking and opening. It is to provide.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a urination control device that can prevent infection and contamination with a simple structure and safe constituent materials, can be installed in both male and female patients, and can improve the patient's QOL. There is.

- the control member In this urination control device, when the water pressure applied to the urination control device, that is, the internal pressure of the bladder, is weak, the control member abuts against the opening of the through hole of the upstream stop member by a magnetic force, and the control member closes the flow of the upstream stop member. Block the flow of urine in the conduit. Intravesical pressure is applied to the upper part of the control member closing the opening. When the intravesical pressure becomes strong and the contact is not supported by the magnetic force, the control member is detached from the upstream restraining member and is locked while being pressed against the downstream restraining member by the intravesical pressure. Since the upstream blocking member is unblocked and the downstream blocking member is capable of passing liquid, urination is performed through the conduit.
- the magnetic force resists the intravesical pressure, and the control member again comes into contact with the opening of the through hole of the upstream stop member to close the conduit.
