DISPOSITIVO CON ESPEJO Y ACOPLE A SONDA VESICAL PARA LA AYUDA ADEVICE WITH MIRROR AND COUPLING TO Bladder Probe FOR AID TO
LA REALIZACIÓN DEL AUTOSONDAJE LIMPIO INTERMITENTE PERFORMING THE INTERMITTENT CLEAN SELF-PROBE
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA TECHNICAL SECTOR
La presente invención pertenece al campo de la medicina y más concretamente al de los accesorios para la realización del autosondaje vesical limpio intermitente. The present invention belongs to the field of medicine and more specifically to that of accessories for performing intermittent clean bladder self-catheterization.
El objeto de la presente invención es un dispositivo con un espejo que tiene una zona que permite acoplarse a la sonda vesical y facilita la visión de la persona que se tiene que realizar el autosondaje. The object of the present invention is a device with a mirror that has an area that allows it to be attached to the urinary catheter and facilitates the vision of the person who has to perform the self-catheterization.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
La técnica del autosondaje vesical limpio intermitente se realiza introduciendo una sonda vesical por la uretra hasta llegar a la vejiga, permitiendo el vaciado de ésta, y una vez se vacía la vejiga se extrae la sonda vesical. The intermittent clean bladder self-catheterization technique is performed by introducing a urinary catheter through the urethra until it reaches the bladder, allowing it to empty, and once the bladder is emptied, the urinary catheter is removed.
La sonda vesical es esencialmente cilindrica y hueca para permitir el drenado de la orina, tiene 3 partes diferenciadas, extremo proximal o zona por donde sale la orina, cuerpo y extremo distal o punta que tiene orificios para permitir la salida de orina y es la parte que entra en primer lugar por la uretra, hasta llegar a la vejiga. El extremo proximal de la sonda es de mayor diámetro que el resto de la sonda y es por donde la persona que se realiza la técnica de autosondaje la coge. The urinary catheter is essentially cylindrical and hollow to allow urine to drain, it has 3 differentiated parts, the proximal end or area where the urine exits, the body and the distal end or tip that has holes to allow the urine to escape and is the part which first enters the urethra, until it reaches the bladder. The proximal end of the probe is larger in diameter than the rest of the probe and is where the person performing the self-catheterization technique grasps it.
La sonda se introduce por el meato uretral. Una ayuda para la realización de esta técnica es usar un espejo que permite ver el meato. Normalmente lo usan mujeres pues el meato uretral está escondido tras los labios mayores y menores y no se ve a simple vista como en el caso de los hombres, aunque en ocasiones hombres obesos o por otras circunstancias precisan de su utilización. Para poder ver el meato, los hombres deben retraer la piel del prepucio y las mujeres deben abrirse los labios con su mano no dominante habitualmente y precisan de un espejo para ver el meato pues aparte de la maniobra de abrir los labios, el meato no se encuentra habitualmente a la vista. The catheter is inserted through the urethral meatus. An aid in performing this technique is to use a mirror that allows you to see the meatus. It is normally used by women because the urethral meatus is hidden behind the labia majora and minora and is not seen with the naked eye as in the case of men, although sometimes obese men or other circumstances require its use. In order to see the meatus, men must retract the skin of the foreskin and women must open their lips with their non-dominant hand is habitually non-dominant and they need a mirror to see the meatus because apart from the maneuver of opening the lips, the meatus is not usually in view.
Actualmente existen espejos que se colocan según la movilidad y preferencias de la persona que se lo va a realizar. Puede ser en la cama, en la tapa del wáter o en el muslo de la persona que se va a realizar el autosondaje mediante algún tipo de sujeción. Estos espejos son complicados colocarlos de manera que se visualice el meato uretral, ya que las manos de la persona que se realiza el autosondaje pueden dificultar la visión. Currently there are mirrors that are placed according to the mobility and preferences of the person who is going to do it. It can be on the bed, on the toilet seat or on the thigh of the person who is going to perform the self-catheterization by means of some type of restraint. These mirrors are difficult to position so that the urethral meatus can be seen, since the hands of the person performing the self-catheterization can make it difficult to see.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
El inventor de la presente solicitud ha desarrollado un dispositivo con un espejo que tiene una parte que se acopla a la parte proximal de la sonda vesical. Al tener el espejo acoplado en la parte proximal de la sonda, permite ver por el extremo distal de la misma, que como hemos dicho anteriormente, es la primera parte que se introduce en uretra y también, permite ver el meato uretral, que es por donde se introduce la sonda, para que la persona que realiza la técnica de autosondaje pueda visualizarlo y colocar la sonda en dirección a éste. De esta manera se resuelve el problema de la correcta colocación de otros espejos, pues las manos no entorpecerían. También permite un agarre adicional, aparte del de la propia sonda, pues se puede coger el dispositivo directamente al quedar acoplado en una sola pieza con la sonda. Además, al verse el extremo distal de la sonda y el meato uretral a la vez es más fácil dirigirla hacia el meato ya que los otros espejos se colocan para ver el meato, pero normalmente no se ve por dónde va la sonda. The inventor of the present application has developed a device with a mirror having a part that engages the proximal part of the urinary catheter. By having the mirror attached to the proximal part of the probe, it allows to see through the distal end of the probe, which, as we have said before, is the first part that is introduced into the urethra and also allows to see the urethral meatus, which is by where the probe is inserted, so that the person performing the self-catheterization technique can visualize it and place the probe in the direction of it. In this way, the problem of the correct placement of other mirrors is solved, since the hands would not get in the way. It also allows an additional grip, apart from that of the probe itself, as the device can be grasped directly as it is coupled in one piece with the probe. In addition, seeing the distal end of the tube and the urethral meatus at the same time makes it easier to direct it towards the meatus since the other mirrors are positioned to see the meatus, but usually you cannot see where the tube is going.
De acuerdo con todo lo anterior, la presente invención está dirigida a un dispositivo en el que está integrado un espejo, que tiene una zona de sujeción para su acople a la sonda vesical. In accordance with all of the foregoing, the present invention is directed to a device in which a mirror is integrated, which has a holding area for coupling to the urinary catheter.
A continuación, se definen con mayor detalle cada una de estas partes del dispositivo: a) Zona de soporte, ligera y resistente, que como su nombre indica da soporte al espejo. Tiene 2 caras: anterior, donde se dispone el espejo, y posterior. El grosor de la zona de soporte es preferible que no supere los 2-3 milímetros y es conveniente que no sobrepase los 9-10 centímetros en vertical y los 5-6 en horizontal. Each of these parts of the device are defined in more detail below: a) Support area, light and resistant, which, as its name indicates, supports the mirror. It has 2 faces: anterior, where the mirror is arranged, and posterior. The thickness of the support area is preferably not more than 2-3 millimeters and it is desirable that it does not exceed 9-10 centimeters vertically and 5-6 centimeters horizontally.
La zona de soporte, aunque se trata de una sola pieza, tiene a su vez dos partes diferenciadas: Zona superior, esencialmente en forma de segmento circular, aunque también puede ser cuadrada o rectangular. En esta zona es donde se dispone el espejo casi en toda su superficie. Zona inferior, de forma esencialmente rectangular, definida como zona de agarre, cuyo lado superior es el límite inferior del espejo. Esta zona es útil para que la persona que se va a realizar el autosondaje pueda cogerla para dirigir la sonda hacia el meato uretral, esto es práctico para personas que tengan menor movilidad en las manos, o dificultad para el agarre por cualquier motivo. En esta segunda zona del soporte se encuentra en su parte inferior y centrada la zona de acople del dispositivo con la sonda vesical en su extremo proximal, es esencialmente un área perforada en la zona de agarre, con forma de segmento circular de radio variable dependiendo de la sonda a la que se acople. Puede ser también un sistema de sujeción distinto que se disponga en la zona de agarre, tipo pinza. b) Espejo, que está en la cara anterior de la zona de soporte. Puede ser cuadrado, rectangular o circular, las medidas es conveniente que no sobrepasen los 5-6 centímetros de diámetro en horizontal. El grosor del dispositivo en la parte que tiene el espejo aumenta debido a la presencia de este, pero por comodidad es conveniente que no sobrepase los 4-5 milímetros. The support area, although it is a single piece, in turn has two differentiated parts: Upper area, essentially in the shape of a circular segment, although it can also be square or rectangular. In this area is where the mirror is arranged almost over its entire surface. Lower area, essentially rectangular in shape, defined as a grip area, the upper side of which is the lower limit of the mirror. This area is useful so that the person who is going to perform the self-catheterization can take it to direct the probe towards the urethral meatus, this is practical for people who have less mobility in their hands, or difficulty in grasping for any reason. In this second area of the support, the coupling area of the device with the urinary catheter at its proximal end is located in its lower part and centered, it is essentially a perforated area in the grip area, shaped like a circular segment of variable radius depending on the probe to which it is attached. It can also be a different clamping system that is arranged in the grip area, type clamp. b) Mirror, which is on the front face of the support area. It can be square, rectangular or circular, the measurements should not exceed 5-6 centimeters in diameter horizontally. The thickness of the device in the part that has the mirror increases due to its presence, but for convenience it is convenient that it does not exceed 4-5 millimeters.
El inventor de la presente solicitud ha comprobado en diversas pruebas realizadas que la forma circular del espejo y un diámetro aproximado de 5 centímetros favorece la técnica, ya que un diámetro superior puede entorpecer e inferior dificulta la visibilidad. The inventor of the present application has verified in various tests carried out that the circular shape of the mirror and an approximate diameter of 5 centimeters favors the technique, since a larger diameter can hinder and a lower diameter makes visibility difficult.
Todo esto quedará más claro a partir de las figuras que se adjuntan al presente documento. All this will be clearer from the figures that are attached to this document.

A continuación, se describe un ejemplo particular del dispositivo (1) de acuerdo con la presente invención, haciendo referencia a las figuras adjuntas. Concretamente, las figuras 1a y 1b muestran sendas vistas frontal y lateral (con el espejo mirando a la derecha) de la invención. Next, a particular example of the device (1) according to the present invention is described, with reference to the attached figures. Specifically, Figures 1a and 1b show respective front and side views (with the mirror looking to the right) of the invention.
El dispositivo (1) presenta 2 partes diferenciadas, la primera es la zona de soporte (1c) que como su nombre indica da soporte al espejo, tiene 2 caras, anterior y posterior, ambas caras son lisas con un grosor de 2 milímetros (L7). Las dimensiones de la zona de soporte (1c) son de 6,4 centímetros en su eje vertical (L1) y 5,4 centímetros en su eje horizontal siendo las mismas que las del dispositivo (1). En la cara anterior se dispone el espejo (1 f). La zona de soporte (1c) se puede decir que tiene dos zonas diferenciadas: una zona superior en forma de segmento circular de radio 2,7 centímetros (r1) delimitado por el arco mayor de la cuerda de 4,2 centímetros (L2) que lo subtiende. En esta zona es donde se dispone el espejo (1f) de manera principal y concéntrico al segmento circular definido, con un radio de 2,5 centímetros (r2) dejando un marco de 0,2 centímetros; y una zona inferior de forma inicialmente rectangular, definida como zona de agarre (1 d), cuyo lado superior es la cuerda del segmento circular definido anteriormente, de 4,2 centímetros (L2) de longitud y con el lado menor de una longitud de 2 centímetros (L3). En esta segunda zona del soporte (1c) se encuentra el hueco o zona de acople (1 e) a la sonda vesical (2c) en su extremo proximal (2e), área perforada en el rectángulo definido, con forma de segmento circular de radio 0,6 centímetros (r3), delimitada por el arco mayor de la cuerda de 1 centímetro (L4) que lo subtiende. Esta cuerda está centrada en el lado inferior del rectángulo, quedando así la zona de acople (1e) en la parte inferior del conjunto y centrada en el eje vertical del dispositivo. The device (1) has 2 differentiated parts, the first is the support area (1c) that, as its name indicates, supports the mirror, it has 2 faces, front and back, both faces are smooth with a thickness of 2 millimeters (L7 ). The dimensions of the support area (1c) are 6.4 centimeters on its vertical axis (L1) and 5.4 centimeters on its horizontal axis, being the same as those of the device (1). The mirror (1 f) is arranged on the front face. The support area (1c) can be said to have two differentiated areas: an upper area in the form of a segment circular radius 2.7 centimeters (r1) delimited by the major arc of the 4.2-centimeter chord (L2) that underlies it. In this area is where the mirror (1f) is arranged in a main and concentric way to the defined circular segment, with a radius of 2.5 centimeters (r2), leaving a frame of 0.2 centimeters; and a lower area of initially rectangular shape, defined as the grip area (1 d), whose upper side is the chord of the circular segment defined above, 4.2 centimeters (L2) in length and with the smaller side of a length of 2 centimeters (L3). In this second area of the support (1c) is the hole or coupling area (1e) to the urinary catheter (2c) at its proximal end (2e), an area perforated in the defined rectangle, shaped like a circular segment of radius 0.6 centimeters (r3), delimited by the major arc of the 1 centimeter chord (L4) that subtends it. This chord is centered on the lower side of the rectangle, thus leaving the coupling zone (1e) in the lower part of the assembly and centered on the vertical axis of the device.
La otra parte bien diferenciada es el espejo (1 f), circular en este caso, de 5 centímetros de diámetro (L5). Esta unido a la cara anterior de la zona de soporte (1c) por su cara posterior y de la manera indicada anteriormente. El conjunto aumenta el grosor del dispositivo (1 ) en un total de 3 milímetros (L6). The other well differentiated part is the mirror (1 f), circular in this case, 5 centimeters in diameter (L5). It is attached to the front face of the support zone (1c) by its rear face and in the manner indicated above. The assembly increases the thickness of the device (1) by a total of 3 millimeters (L6).
