Description

  The present invention relates to an intestinal irrigation system for a colostomy holder or the like using a closed soft bag containing an intestinal irrigation solution and a method of using the same.

As a conventional intestinal washing method for a colostomy holder, generally, a washing solution is put into a container opened at the top and injected into the colostomy through a tube by gravity.
Due to the limitations of place and time in this method, the number of colostomy holders who do not have a mesentery has gradually increased. However, intestinal irrigation provides regularity and planning for defecation, and significantly improves the quality of life (QOL) of colostomy holders. This is especially beneficial for colostomy holders who are active as active generations.
The large negative of this method of irrigation was the Great Hanshin-Awaji and Chuetsu earthquake. Here, colostomy holders had a common and serious experience. That is, the water used as the cleaning liquid was intermittently poor for a relatively long time and was contaminated. The house was broken, and there was no evacuation center. However, even in such a situation, if there is a device or method that can make the intestine washable in the same way as during normal times, it will be a great force for the colostomy holder who is to intestine.

  In such a conventional irrigation method, there are restrictions on place and time, and it is not easy to ensure privacy. In particular, in the situation where houses and water and sewage were destroyed at the time of a disaster, it was impossible to wash the intestines.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an intestinal washing system that can be easily used anytime and anywhere and can ensure privacy, and a method of using the same. It is another object of the present invention to provide an intestinal rinsing system capable of irrigation even at the time of a disaster in which a house or water and sewage system is destroyed, and a method for using the irrigation system.

  In order to achieve the above object, the intestinal washing system of the present invention is provided with a closed soft bag enclosing and containing an intestinal lavage fluid therein, an adapter for connecting to an artificial anus or a common anus at one end, and the other end Connected between the closed soft bag and the colostomy or the common anus, which is connected and fixed to the closed soft bag to pass the intestinal lavage fluid inside, and passes the intestinal lavage fluid flowing by pressurizing the closed soft bag And a tube having a predetermined length to be injected into the colostomy or the common anus.

  The intestinal washing system of the present invention is characterized in that a liquid flow observation member for observing the flowing state of the intestinal lavage fluid, which is made of a material harmless to the living body, is provided between the tubes.

  In the intestine washing system of the present invention, the liquid flow observation member is a thread-like member that is made of a material that is harmless to a living body and that flows by the liquid flow.

  Further, in the method of using the intestinal irrigation system of the present invention, a closed soft bag enclosing and containing an intestinal tract cleaning solution is provided, and an adapter for connection to an artificial anus or a common anus is provided at one end and a closed soft bag is provided at the other end A closed soft bag and a tube of a predetermined length for connecting between the colostomy or the common anus and a connecting member that is fixedly connected to the soft bag and allows the intestinal lavage fluid to pass therethrough. By pressurizing, the intestinal lavage fluid inside is passed through the connected tube and injected into the colostomy or the common anus.

  Further, in the method of using the intestinal irrigation system of the present invention, the closed soft bag is pressed by its own weight by sitting on the closed soft bag, and the internal intestinal irrigation liquid is lifted by this pressurization and the connected tube is raised. It is characterized by being passed through and injected into the colostomy or the common anus.

  Further, in the method of using the intestinal irrigation system of the present invention, the closed soft bag is pressed by hand or foot, and the internal intestinal irrigation liquid is lifted and passed through the connected tube by this pressurization. It is characterized by being injected into the normal anus.

  Further, in the method of using the intestinal washing system of the present invention, the closed soft bag is pressed by placing a heavy article on the closed soft bag, and the internal intestinal lavage fluid is connected to the tube by this pressurization. It is characterized by being injected through the colostomy and the common anus via the ascending passage.

  This intestine washing system has a relatively simple configuration, is free from restrictions on place and time, and further facilitates privacy. Moreover, in this intestine washing system, the colostomy of the colostomy holder can be performed by sending a closed soft bag containing the washing liquid to the disaster area where the house and the water and sewage system are destroyed. A closed soft bag containing a sterile intestinal solution can be stored for a relatively long period of time and can be used for domestic and overseas travel and business trips.

  As a method of using this intestine washing system, basically, a closed soft bag is pressurized and injected. There are various pressurization methods. For example, simply sitting in a closed soft bag allows the intestinal lavage fluid to be pressurized and raised to wash the intestines. Therefore, if there is a place to sit down with this intestine washing system, it is possible to wash the intestine anywhere and anytime. For example, it can be cleaned even in a passenger car. Further, the closed soft bag can be used by pressing with a hand or a foot or placing a heavy object on it. Therefore, no electric power or other mechanical mechanism is necessary, and it is easy to carry.

  Further, by providing a liquid flow observation member for observing the state of flow of the cleaning liquid between the tubes, the user can observe how the intestinal cleaning liquid flows smoothly. By providing a flapping thread-like member as the liquid flow observation member, it is possible to observe the state of the intestinal fluid flowing more clearly.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an intestine washing system. The present irrigation system is provided with a closed soft bag A containing an intestinal rinsing solution inside, an adapter J for connecting to the colostomy K at one end, and a connecting member inserted into the closed soft bag A at the other end. A puncture needle B is provided, and a tube D having a predetermined length for connecting the closed soft bag A and the colostomy K is formed.

  The closed soft bag A is a sealed sac-like bag, and is formed of, for example, vinyl. A sterile intestinal lavage fluid is enclosed inside. The closed soft bag A has medically recognized safety, flexibility, and pressure resistance. As a sterile intestinal lavage fluid, medically recognized aseptic physiological saline, distilled water, and other washable liquids can be used. In the upper part of the closed soft bag A, a suspension hole A1 is provided in consideration of suspension. At the bottom of the closed soft bag A, there is provided a stopper A2 made of synthetic rubber or the like, which is hermetically sealed and medically safe. An over seal C is affixed to the outside of the stopper A2 in order to maintain sterility.

  The tube D is provided with an adapter J for connection to the colostomy K at one end, and the insertion that constitutes a connecting member for insertion into the stopper A2 provided at the lower part of the closed soft bag A at the other end. A needle B is provided. The insertion needle B has a needle shape for injection, has a sharp tip, and is provided with a pipe-shaped inner space through which a cleaning liquid is passed. Therefore, by inserting the insertion needle B into the stopper A2 provided at the bottom of the closed soft bag A and penetrating the closed soft bag A, the cleaning liquid built in the closed soft bag A is transferred to the tube D. Can be passed. The adapter J for connecting to the colostomy K is made of a material recognized as harmless to the living body. For example, it is desirable to use a material having suitable flexibility such as silicon rubber, less irritation to the living body, and good compatibility. The connecting member is not limited to the insertion needle B described above, and any member may be used as long as it is connected and fixed to the closed soft bag A and allows the internal intestinal lavage fluid to pass therethrough. Further, the connecting member may be configured so as to be integrated and fixed in advance with the stopper A2 of the closed soft bag A.

  A transparent chamber F is provided in the middle of the tube D, and a thread-like member that is formed by a liquid flow and that constitutes a liquid flow observation member G for observing the liquid flow is provided therein. One end of the thread-like member constituting the liquid flow observation member G is attached and fixed to the closed soft bag A side of the chamber F, and the other end is the length of the middle portion of the chamber F and is not fixed and is a free end. As the thread-like member, a material that is harmless to the living body, for example, silk thread used for surgery is optimal. The thread-like member is blown in the flow direction of the cleaning liquid flowing in the chamber F so that the state of the cleaning liquid flowing can be clearly observed. Further, the liquid flow is made easier to understand by constituting the thread-like member with a plurality of strands and colored with a medically harmless dye.

  It is desirable that the chamber F be provided between the tubes D at locations where the colostomy holder can easily see during use. For example, it is provided at a location of about 30 cm from the colostomy K side. The connector E can be appropriately provided between the tubes for adjusting the length and connecting the members. One or two stoppers H and I are appropriately provided between the tubes in order to control the liquid flow. Experiments have shown that if the total length of the tube D is about 80 cm to 1 m, it is easy to use. These lengths may vary depending on individual differences by physique and the environment in which they are used. In addition, all the members which comprise these intestinal washing systems need to be comprised from the material which is medically harmless to a biological body.

  Below, the usage method of the intestinal washing system of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a method of using the intestinal washing system of FIG. 1 in the sitting position. 2A is a view seen from the left side, and FIG. 2B is a view seen from the back.

(1) The overseal C of the closed soft bag A is removed, and the insertion needle B provided at the tip of the tube D is sufficiently inserted into the plug A2 of the soft bag and penetrated into the soft bag. In that case, the stoppers H and I are closed.
(2) The closed soft bag A is placed on the chair.
(3) Sit quietly above the closed soft bag A.
(4) Connect adapter J to colostomy K and fit.
(5) Gently release the stoppers H and I.
(6) Fully open the stopper and gently feed the intestinal tract of soft bag A into the intestinal tract while gently shaking the upper body from side to side.

  Thus, by sitting on the closed soft bag A, the closed soft bag A is squeezed by its own weight, and the internal cleaning liquid ascends and passes through the connected tube D by this compression and is injected into the colostomy K. . At this time, the cleaning liquid flows in the tube D from the closed soft bag A side to the colostomy K side. By this liquid flow, the thread-like member constituting the liquid flow observation member G provided in the chamber F The user can clearly observe the flow of the cleaning liquid because the cleaning liquid flows in the flow direction.

According to this intestine washing system, in addition to the above-described pressurizing method by the sitting position, intestinal washing by the following pressurizing method is also possible.
(1) A method in which the closed soft bag A is suspended at a high place by using the suspension hole A1 and injected by natural fall. When the height is insufficient and the inflow pressure is low, the closed soft bag A can be pressed by hand.
(2) A method of placing the closed soft bag A on the floor and injecting under pressure with a foot.
(3) A method in which the closed soft bag A is placed on a table or table, and an appropriate heavy object, for example, a heavy stone, is placed and injected under pressure.

By these pressure injection methods, about 90% of the cleaning liquid in the 1000 cc closed soft bag A can be injected into the colostomy K with an appropriate liquid flow and pressure in a time of about 5 to 15 minutes. .
Thus, various types of pressurized injection are possible, but the method by the sitting position is most excellent from the viewpoint of moderate pressure and ease of operation. With this system, if you have a place to sit, you can wash your bowels anytime and anywhere.

  This intestine washing system has a relatively simple configuration, is free of restrictions on place and time, and facilitates ensuring of privacy. For example, it can be used in a passenger car and does not require a special toilet facility for the disabled. In addition, this irrigation system does not require any power.

  In addition to disasters such as the destruction of houses and water and sewage systems, this intestine cleaning system can be stored for a relatively long period of time as a closed soft bag containing sterile intestinal fluid. It can also be used for business trips. This intestinal irrigation system can be used for enema to the common anus as well as to the colostomy holder. For example, it can be used as an enema for nursing care for bedridden elderly and sick people.

  It is a whole block diagram of an intestine washing system.   It is explanatory drawing of the usage method of the intestine washing system of FIG. 1 by sitting position.
