Description

Dispositivo desechable para su uso en la limpieza e higiene del canal o conducto anal interno. OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN Disposable device for use in cleaning and hygiene of the internal anal canal or canal. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo desechable rellenable de una solución fisiológica, que se aplica en la higiene de las paredes del canal anal interno, preferiblemente tras la defecación, eliminando los restos de heces, lo que provoca limpieza y frescor en la zona y repercute positivamente en el bienestar del usuario. The present invention relates to a disposable device that can be filled with a physiological solution, which is applied to the hygiene of the walls of the internal anal canal, preferably after defecation, eliminating the remains of feces, which causes cleaning and freshness in the area and positively affects the well-being of the user.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN Actualmente existen productos destinados a la estimulación rectal preVIa a la defecación (enemas), para solucionar problemas de estreñimiento pertinaz, y también existen sistemas de limpieza del tracto digestivo, destinados a la preparación del intestino para la realización de algún acto médico (prueba diagnóstica o tratamiento quirúrgico). Así como sistemas de irrigación no desechables para la limpieza cotidiana de la zona anal mediante la utilización de agua corriente de la instalación del domicilio. Los envases, desechables o no, destinados a la realización de enemas disponen de una cánula de mayor o menor longitud, con un orificio en su parte superior, de forma que el líquido que contiene sale en la misma dirección a que apunta la cánula, llegando por tanto al recto, puesto que su función es la de provocar la defecación en casos de estreñimiento o la limpieza del colon para la realización de actos médicos. Al mismo tiempo, la limpieza de la zona anal mediante sistemas desechables tras la defecación se limita a la parte peri anal externa, a través de papel, toallitas húmedas o baños de agua. N o pudiéndose limpiar la parte interior del ano por no poder alcanzarse esta zona con los métodos descritos. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Currently there are products intended for rectal stimulation prior to defecation (enemas), to solve problems of persistent constipation, and there are also cleaning systems of the digestive tract, intended for the preparation of the intestine for the performance of some medical act (diagnostic test or surgical treatment). As well as non-disposable irrigation systems for the daily cleaning of the anal area through the use of running water from the home installation. The containers, disposable or not, intended for the realization of enemas have a cannula of greater or lesser length, with a hole in its upper part, so that the liquid it contains leaves in the same direction that the cannula points, reaching therefore to the rectum, since its function is to cause defecation in cases of constipation or cleansing the colon to perform medical acts. At the same time, the cleaning of the anal area by means of disposable systems after defecation is limited to the external peri-anal part, through paper, wet wipes or water baths. Not being able to clean the inner part of the anus because this area cannot be reached with the methods described.

Esta imposibilidad de limpieza interna post defecación impide en ocasiones que se llegue a la limpieza total externa por los restos que poco a poco se van desplazando hacia el exterior, con las consabidas molestias de suciedad, olor, picor ... This impossibility of internal cleaning after defecation sometimes prevents the total external cleaning from being reached by the remains that are gradually moving outwards, with the usual discomforts of dirt, smell, itching ...

Al mismo tiempo, la presencia de restos de heces en descomposición en el interior del ano puede afectar al estado de salud de las personas, causando o agravando infecciones y patologías de distinta índole (hemorroides, fistulas, fisuras ...). At the same time, the presence of decaying stool remains inside the anus can affect the health status of people, causing or aggravating infections and pathologies of different kinds (hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures ...).

No se dispone de un dispositivo de limpieza de fácil manejo cuyo objetivo sea la limpieza del canal anal interno, sin alcanzar el recto y, por tanto, sin estimular la defecación, y que pueda usarse de forma cotidiana en la higiene anal post defecación ofreciendo unos resultados de higiene y confort adecuados. There is no easy-to-use cleaning device whose objective is the cleaning of the internal anal canal, without reaching the rectum and, therefore, without stimulating defecation, and which can be used daily in post-defecation anal hygiene by offering adequate hygiene and comfort results.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN La invención propone un sistema de limpieza e higiene doméstico y desechable para la limpieza del canal anal interno, preferentemente tras la defecación. La invención consiste esencialmente en un envase de plástico, aluminio u otro material depresible, de diversa capacidad, con forma de pera, tubo u otra de características similares, terminado en una cánula flexible o rígida, para su introducción por el orificio anal y que alcance exclusivamente el canal anal interno. Este envase puede estar relleno de una solución fisiológica refrescante que se utilizará para la limpieza interior del ano y que desprenderá los restos de heces que quedan pegados en las paredes del canal interno del ano tras la defecación dando al usuario una sensación de frescor y limpieza en la zona. La cánula termina en punta ciega y redondeada que facilita su introducción a través del esfinter anal externo. Dispone de uno o varios orificios laterales que permiten la irrigación del canal anal interno con el líquido empleado para la limpieza anal de forma que se alcanzan las paredes del canal anal interno sin que el líquido alcance el recto. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention proposes a household and disposable cleaning and hygiene system for cleaning the internal anal canal, preferably after defecation. The invention consists essentially of a plastic, aluminum or other depressant material container, of varying capacity, with a pear, tube or other similar characteristics, terminated in a flexible or rigid cannula, for introduction through the anal orifice and reaching exclusively the internal anal channel. This container can be filled with a refreshing physiological solution that will be used for the internal cleaning of the anus and that will release the remains of feces that remain stuck on the walls of the internal canal of the anus after defecation giving the user a feeling of freshness and cleanliness in area. The cannula ends in a blind and rounded tip that facilitates its introduction through the external anal sphincter. It has one or several lateral holes that allow the internal anal canal to be irrigated with the liquid used for anal cleaning so that the walls of the internal anal canal are reached without the liquid reaching the rectum.

Esta cánula, unida al envase, está precintada de forma que se garantiza la estanqueidad del envase. This cannula, attached to the container, is sealed so that the tightness of the container is guaranteed.

La cánula puede ir separada del envase y unirse a éste en el momento de su utilización por diversos sistemas, ya sea roscado, por presión u otro similar. The cannula can be separated from the container and attached to it at the time of use by various systems, whether threaded, pressure or similar.

Una vez introducida la cánula se preSIOna sobre el envase depresible de forma que se introduce en el ano la solución fisiológica de limpieza en una cantidad variable suficiente para su función de limpieza y evacuación. La cantidad de solución introducida con cierta presión desprende los restos de heces de las paredes del canal anal interno y arrastra los restos de heces que han quedado en dicho canal. La cantidad de solución introducida es suficiente para provocar la evacuación natural de la misma a través del ano por la relajación voluntaria del esfínter anal externo. Junto con la evacuación de la solución se eliminan los restos de heces del canal anal interno, quedando éste más limpio que con la simple defecación. Finalmente se procede al secado de la zona perianal de la forma habitual. Once the cannula is introduced, it is pressed onto the depressable container so that the physiological cleaning solution is introduced into the anus in a variable quantity sufficient for its cleaning and evacuation function. The amount of solution introduced with a certain pressure releases the remains of feces from the walls of the internal anal canal and drags the remains of feces that have remained in said canal. The amount of solution introduced is sufficient to cause its natural evacuation through the anus by voluntary relaxation of the external anal sphincter. Together with the evacuation of the solution, the remains of feces from the internal anal canal are eliminated, leaving it cleaner than with simple defecation. Finally, the perianal area is dried in the usual way.
