Description

Rectal prolapse measuring instrument

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a rectal prolapse measuring instrument.

Background

The rectal wall is displaced partly or wholly downwards, called rectal prolapse (rectal prolapse). The rectal wall portion moves down, i.e., the rectal mucosa moves down, called a mucosa prolapse or incomplete prolapse; full-layer inferior movement of the rectal wall is called complete prolapse. If the moved down rectal wall is in the anorectal cavity, the rectal wall is called as an internal prolapse; the downward movement out of the anus is called prolapse.

The main clinical symptoms of rectal prolapse are the prolapse of the tumor from the anus. The swelling is smaller at the initial stage, the swelling is separated at the defecation stage, and the swelling is reset after defecation. The swelling is released gradually, the volume is increased, and the swelling is required to be held back into the anus after defecation, with the symptoms of incomplete defecation and falling. Finally, the cough and the forceful standing can be removed. With prolapse aggravates, anal incontinence of varying degrees is caused, and mucous is often shed, resulting in perianal skin eczema and itching. Constipation often occurs due to the difficulty in emptying the rectum, and the number of times of defecation is increased, and the sheep manure is present. The mucous membrane is eroded, and blood flows out after the mucous membrane is broken.

Symptoms are not obvious when the internal prolapse is caused, and the symptoms are mainly symptoms of the abnormal defecation, the obstruction of anus and other rectal emptying disorders. The suppository is inserted into anus to assist defecation, so that defecation becomes smooth. Some patients have lower abdominal and lumbosacral distending pain during bowel movements. Longer periods of illness can also cause varying degrees of anal incontinence.

The existing method for checking rectal prolapse in clinic mainly comprises the following steps: 1. digital diagnosis of rectum: mainly feeling the contractive force of the anal sphincter; 2. defecation contrast examination: specific symptoms on the defecation radiography X-ray film characterize the severity of rectal prolapse; 3. anoscopy: the condition of the rectal mucosa is directly observed, but since the anoscopy needs to support the intestinal cavity with air for observation, the prolapse and folding state is destroyed, cannot be detected, and only the surface condition of the rectum can be seen. None of the above three methods allow quantitative analysis of rectal prolapse.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the rectal prolapse measuring instrument includes a housing 1, an endoscope 6, a housing mechanism for housing prolapsed tissue, and a driving mechanism for driving the housing mechanism to open or close. For ease of understanding and description, the end of the rectal prolapse meter and its components that is closer to the prolapsed tissue to be measured is defined as the distal end (e.g., corresponding to the left side of the paper in fig. 1), whereas the end that is closer to the doctor's hand is the proximal end (e.g., corresponding to the right side of the paper in fig. 1); i.e. the rectal prolapse meter and its components have a distal end corresponding to the prolapsed tissue and a proximal end opposite said distal end. The terms "inner" and "outer" are defined herein with reference to the axis of the outer tube, and are inner on the side closer to the axis of the outer tube, and outer on the opposite side.

The housing 1 is formed by fixedly connecting two parts of shells through screws and the like for being held by hands of people for convenient operation, wherein an inner cavity for arranging other parts is also formed. The distal end portion of the housing 1 has anouter tube 2, and theouter tube 2 is hollow and fixedly connected or integrally formed with the housing 1.

The housing mechanism includes a plurality ofhousing members 3, a proximal end portion of eachhousing member 3 being rotatably connected to a distal end portion of theouter tube 2, the plurality ofhousing members 3 being arranged in a circumferential direction of theouter tube 2 to form a housing that can house prolapsed tissue. The plurality ofchamber elements 3 are rotatably connected to the distal end of theouter tube 2, respectively, in particular by means of afirst fixing ring 21. As shown in fig. 4, sixcavity members 3 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of theouter tube 2; as shown in fig. 1 to 3, thefirst fixing ring 21 is fixedly sleeved on the distal end portion of theouter tube 2 along the circumferential direction of theouter tube 2, and the inner end portion of thecavity member 3 is rotatably sleeved on thefirst fixing ring 21. At least one of the inner walls of thecavity member 3 is provided with a first scale.

The endoscope 6 is slidably disposed in the inner tube in the axial direction of theouter tube 2 to acquire images of the prolapsed tissue corresponding to the first scale on thelumen 3, so that the axial dimension of the prolapsed tissue can be obtained.

The driving mechanism comprises a plurality of supportingrods 5 respectively corresponding to thecavity parts 3, aninner tube 4 slidably arranged in theouter tube 2 along the axial direction of theouter tube 2, abutton 7 for driving theinner tube 4 to slide, and alever 8 rotatably arranged in the outer shell 1 through apivot 12. The number of the supportingrods 5 is six, and the supporting rods correspond to the sixcavity pieces 3 one by one. Eachstay 5 has opposite ends, one of which is rotatably connected to thecavity member 3 and the other of which is rotatably connected to the outer end of theinner tube 4, thereby constituting a slider-crank mechanism for driving thecavity member 3 to rotate through theinner tube 4. Wherein, the rotation connection of thestay bars 5, thecavity member 3 and theinner tube 4 is specifically pivoted, the other ends of the sixstay bars 5 are specifically and respectively and rotatably connected with the outer end of theinner tube 4 through asecond fixing ring 41, thesecond fixing ring 41 is fixedly sleeved on the distal end of theinner tube 4 along the circumferential direction of theinner tube 4, and the other ends of thestay bars 5 are rotatably sleeved on thesecond fixing ring 41; thebutton 7 is slidably arranged on the shell 1, thebutton 7 and theinner tube 4 are respectively positioned at two opposite sides (upper side and lower side in fig. 2) of thepivot 12, the proximal end of thebutton 7 is pivoted with one end of thelever 8, and theinner tube 4 is movably connected with the other end of thelever 8, so that theinner tube 4 can move rightwards along with thebutton 7; as shown in fig. 2, after thebutton 7 is pressed, the upper end of thelever 8 rotates rightward, thereby driving theinner tube 4 to move rightward and driving thecavity member 3 to open. From the sliding displacement of thepush buttons 7, the angle at which thepocket members 3 open can be converted, thereby calculating the circumferential dimension of the prolapsed tissue located between thepocket members 3. In this embodiment, preferably, a second scale for indicating the sliding displacement of thebutton 7 is provided on the housing 1 and/or thebutton 7.

In this embodiment, eachcavity member 3 includes afirst segment 31 and asecond segment 32, wherein a proximal end portion of thefirst segment 31 is rotatably connected to a distal end portion of theouter tube 2, and thesecond segment 32 extends from the distal end portion of thefirst segment 31 in a bending manner. Apre-tightening ring 33, such as a silica gel ring, with elasticity is sleeved outside the plurality ofcavity members 3. Specifically, grooves are respectively formed on the outer walls of the connecting parts of thefirst section 31 and thesecond section 32 of eachcavity member 3, and the pretightening rings 33 are clamped in the grooves.

For the connection between thebutton 7 and the housing 1, specifically, a chute 11 is formed on the housing 1, the chute 11 specifically extends along the axial direction of theouter tube 2, and thebutton 7 is slidably disposed in the chute 11.

When thebutton 7 is pressed, thebutton 7 slides along the sliding groove 11 on the shell 1, thebutton 7 drives thelever 8, thelever 8 drives theinner tube 4 to move distally along the axial direction of the outer rod, the supportingrod 5 drives thecavity piece 3, and thecavity piece 3 rotates around the fixed ring and gradually expands. The sixcavity pieces 3 form a cavity, relative scales are arranged between thebutton 7 and the shell 1, and the relative scales represent the opening size of thecavity pieces 3 at different positions. The endoscope 6 is moved axially along theouter tube 2 to observe the state and condition of the tissue accommodated in the cavity. Thebutton 7 is released, thereset spring 9 drives thebutton 7 to reset, and the containing cavity is closed.

The rectal prolapse meter further includes aprotective cover 61 fixedly provided in theinner tube 4, and the endoscope 6 is axially slidably provided in theprotective cover 61 along theouter tube 2.
