Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Prophylaxegerät, mit dem bereits pränatal gegen Geburtstraumata einschließlich. Dammriss vorgebeugt werden kann.The invention relates to a prophylactic device, including prenatal against birth trauma including. Dam crack can be prevented.

Aus US 2002/0068900 A1 ist ein Prophylaxegerät bekannt, das bis in einen Bereich des Perineums (Damm) vaginal eingeführt werden kann. Das Prophylaxegerät kann mit Hilfe einer Antriebseinrichtung in Vibration versetzt werden, wodurch es möglich ist, das Perineum zu massieren. Nachteilig bei diesem Prophylaxegerät ist, dass das Prophylaxegerät verhältnismäßig kurz aufgebaut ist und insbesondere kurz vor der Geburt, wenn der Bauch der schwangeren am stärksten angeschwollen ist, nur schwer zu handhaben ist. Somit ist eine Massage des Perineums genau zu dem Zeitpunkt am problematischsten, zu dem die Benutzung des Prophylaxegerätes am zweckmäßigsten ist. Eine ausreichende Massage des Perineums ohne Zuhilfenahme einer Hilfsperson ist nicht sichergestellt. Das Hinzuziehen einer Hilfsperson zur Massage des Perineums ist auf Grund persönlicher Schamgefühle und/ oder kulturell tradierter Wertvorstellungen in der Regel nicht möglich.Out US 2002/0068900 A1 A prophylactic device is known which can be introduced vaginally into a region of the perineum (dam). The prophylactic device can be vibrated by means of a drive device, whereby it is possible to massage the perineum. A disadvantage of this prophylactic is that the prophylactic device is relatively short and, especially shortly before birth, when the belly of the pregnant woman is the most swollen, is difficult to handle. Thus, a massage of the perineum at the very time the most problematic to which the use of the prophylactic device is most appropriate. A sufficient massage of the perineum without the help of an assistant is not guaranteed. The inclusion of an assistant to massage the perineum is due to personal feelings of shame and / or culturally traditional values usually not possible.

JP 2004/313690 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur sexuellen Stimulation mit einem Einführkörper und einem Stimulationskörper, wobei der Einführkörper beispielsweise anal eingeführt und der Stimulationskörper einen Druck auf die Dammregion ausübt, so dass eine sexuelle Stimulation erreicht werden kann. Der Stimulationskörper kann ferderbelastet sein, so dass durch ihn ein Druck auf die Dammregion ausgeübt werden kann. JP 2004/313690 describes a device for sexual stimulation with an introducer and a stimulation body, wherein the introducer, for example, introduced anal and the stimulation body pressure on the So that sexual stimulation can be achieved. The stimulation body may be ferderloaded so that a pressure on the perineal region can be exerted by him.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Prophylaxegerät zur pränatalen Vorbeugung gegen Geburtstraumata zu schaffen, das auch im hochschwangeren Zustand im Selbstgebrauch eine Vorbeugung gegen eine Verletzung des Perineums ermöglicht.It is the object of the invention to provide a prophylactic device for prenatal prevention of birth trauma, which is also in the highly pregnant state in self-use allows prevention of injury to the perineum.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Prophylaxegerät, das zur pränatalen Vorbeugung gegen Geburtstraumata, einschließlich Dammriss, verwendet werden kann, weist einen Einführkörper auf, der vaginal oder anal in einem Bereich des Perineums eingeführt werden kann. Der Einführkörper ist mit Hilfe einer Antriebseinrichtung in Bewegung versetzt bar. Die Bewegung erfolgt oszillierend, rotierend oder kreisförmig. Der Einfährkörper kann die Bewegung in Bereich des Perineums ausüben. Mit Hilfe der Antriebseinrichtung ist es möglich, dass der Einführkörper Zugund Druckkräfte auf das Gewebe des Perineums ausübt. Erfindungsgemäß weist das Prophylaxegerät nicht nur den Einführkörper, sondern auch einen Abstützkörper auf, mit dem das Prophylaxegerät lagedefiniert positioniert werden kann.The prophylactic device of the present invention, which can be used for prenatal prevention of birth trauma, including perineal tear, has an introducer that can be inserted vaginally or anally in a region of the perineum. The introducer is moved by means of a drive means in motion bar. The movement is oscillating, rotating or circular. The insert body can exercise the movement in the area of the perineum. With the help of the drive device, it is possible that the insertion body exerts tensile and compressive forces on the tissue of the perineum. According to the prophylactic device not only the introducer, but also a support body with which the prophylactor can be positioned defined position.

Erfindungsgemäß sind sowohl der Einführkörper als auch der Abstützkörper vaginal oder anal einführbar, wobei die beiden Körper bei Verwendung unterschiedlichen Seiten des Perineums zugeordnet sind, d.h. einer der Körper ist vaginal und der andere anal eingeführt. Bei dieser Anordnung ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Einführkörper eine Bewegung ausübt, die eine Bewegungskomponente senkrecht, d.h. normal zum Perineum aufweist.According to the invention, both the introducer and the support body are insertable vaginally or anally, the two bodies, when used, being associated with different sides of the perineum, i. one of the bodies is vaginal and the other is anal. In this arrangement, it is preferred that the introducer exert a motion which is a component of motion perpendicular, i. normal to the perineum.

Mit Hilfe des Abstützkörpers kann das Prophylaxegerät am Körper der Schwangeren abgestützt werden, so dass der vom Einführkörper aufgebrachte Druck nicht zu einem Wegrutschen des Prophylaxegerätes führt. Dadurch kann eine Schwangere auch bei fortgeschrittener Schwangerschaft, wenn der Genitalbereich nur schwer zu erreichen ist, die erforderliche Kraft aufbringen, um mit Hilfe des Prophylaxegerätes das Gewebe des Perineums zu massieren und zu dehnen. Vorzugsweise stützt sich der Abstützkörper an einem Körperteil ab, das anatomisch bedingt auch bei fortschreitender Schwangerschaft einen gleichbleibenden Abstand zum Perineum aufweist. Beispielsweise kann sich der Abstützkörper in der leichten Vertiefung außerhalb des Anus abstützen. Vorzugsweise weist das Prophylaxegerät eine Vertiefung auf, die den Os Pubis (Schambein) oder das Perineum teilweise umgreift.With the help of the support body, the prophylactic device can be supported on the body of the pregnant woman, so that the pressure applied by the introducer does not lead to slippage of the prophylactic device. This can a pregnant woman, even in advanced pregnancy, when the genital area is difficult to reach, muster the force required to massage and stretch the tissue of the perineum with the help of the prophylactic device. Preferably, the support body is supported on a body part, which anatomically has a constant distance from the perineum even with progressive pregnancy. For example, the support body may be supported in the slight depression outside of the anus. Preferably, the prophylactic device has a depression which partially surrounds the os pubis (pubis) or the perineum.

Erfindungsgemäß ist auch der Abstützkörper vaginal oder anal einführbar, so dass es möglich ist, mit dem Abstützkörper zusätzlich Kräfte auf das Perineum auszuüben. Dies ist insbesondere der Fall, wenn der Abstützkörper sich im Bereich des Perineums abstützt und/ oder der Abstützkörper im Bereich des Perineums positionierbar ist.According to the invention, the support body can also be inserted vaginally or anal, so that it is possible to additionally exert forces on the perineum with the support body. This is the case in particular if the supporting body is supported in the area of the perineum and / or the supporting body can be positioned in the region of the perineum.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Einführkörper federnd, insbesondere federbelastet, mit dem Abstützkörper verbunden. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass sich nach dem Einführen des Einführkörpers automatisch ein gewisser Mindestdruck des Einführkörpers auf das Perineum einstellt. Dieser Mindestdruck ist insbesondere derart gewählt, dass beim Betrieb des Prophylaxegerätes einerseits zu starke und schmerzhafte Drücke vermieden werden und andererseits ein notwendiger Massagedruck gewährleistet ist. Dadurch kann das Prophylaxegerät bei gleicher Bauform für unterschiedliche gewachsene Benutzerinnen verwendet werden. Zusätzlich oder alternativ kann eine Grundposition des Einführkörpers relativ zum Abstützkörper eingestellt werden, damit das Prophylaxegerät für verschiedene anatomisch geformte Benutzerinnen verwendet werden kann.Particularly preferably, the insertion body is resilient, in particular spring-loaded, connected to the support body. This makes it possible that automatically adjusts a certain minimum pressure of the introducer to the perineum after insertion of the introducer. This minimum pressure is chosen in particular such that on the one hand to strong and painful pressures are avoided during operation of the prophylactic and on the other hand, a necessary massage pressure is guaranteed. As a result, the prophylactic device can be used with the same design for different grown users. Additionally or alternatively, a basic position of the insertion body can be adjusted relative to the support body so that the prophylactic device can be used for various anatomically shaped users.

Der Einführkörper ist beispielsweise vergleichbar zu einem beweglichen Finger mit mindestens einem beweglichen Fingerglied ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist der Einführkörper zumindest in einem Teilbereich elastisch oder flexibel ausgebildet, um eine Bewegung des Einführkörpers zu erleichtern. Besonders bevorzugt weist der Einführkörper einen Rotationskörper auf, der von der Antriebseinrichtung insbesondere exzentrisch angetrieben ist. Dadurch kann aus dem Inneren des Einführkörpers eine Kraft auf den Einführkörper ausgeübt werden, die dieser an das Perineum weiterleitet.The insertion body is formed, for example, comparable to a movable finger with at least one movable finger member. Preferably, the insertion body is formed elastically or flexibly at least in a partial region in order to facilitate a movement of the insertion body. Particularly preferably, the insertion body on a rotational body, which is driven by the drive means in particular eccentrically. As a result, a force can be exerted on the insertion body from the interior of the insertion body, which forwards it to the perineum.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Abstützkörper bzw. ein Teil des Abstützkörpers bewegbar und insbesondere von der Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben. Der Abstützkörper kann hierzu wie vorstehend an Hand des Einführkörpers beschrieben, aus- und weitergebildet sein.Particularly preferably, the support body or a part of the support body is movable and in particular driven by the drive device. For this purpose, the support body can be described and further developed as described above with reference to the insertion body.

Durch die vorzugsweise sterile Schutzhülle wird die Hygiene des Prophylaxegerätes verbessert bzw. erleichtert, da eine Ansammlung von Pilzen oder Keimen an dem Prophylaxegerät 10 vermieden werden kann.Preferably, the insertion body 12 and the support body 14 is surrounded by a protective sheath 32, which in particular is germ-free. Preferably, the protective cover is a replaceable disposable product and / or a removable adhesive film after use. Due to the preferably sterile protective cover, the hygiene of the prophylactic device is improved or facilitated, since an accumulation of fungi or germs on the prophylaxis device 10 can be avoided.

Der Einführkörper 12 und der Abstützkörper 14 sind mit einem Arm 34 verbunden, mit dem die Handhabung des Prophylaxegerätes 10 vereinfacht ist. Der Arm 34 weist ein Griffstück 36 auf, das ein Batteriefach 38 zur Aufnahme von Batterien 40 aufweist. Mit Hilfe der Batterien 40 kann die Antriebseinrichtung 22 mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden, ohne dass hierfür Stromkabel oder eine Steckdose erforderlich wären.The insertion body 12 and the support body 14 are connected to an arm 34, with which the handling of the prophylactic device 10 is simplified. The arm 34 has a handle 36 which has a battery compartment 38 for receiving batteries 40. With the help of the batteries 40, the drive device 22 can be supplied with electrical energy without the need for power cables or a power outlet would be required.

Im eingeführten Zustand (Fig. 2) wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des Perineum 20 von dem Einführkörper 12 und dem Abstützkörper 14 umgriffen. Die Lagepositionierung des Prohylaxegerätes 10 erfolgt hierbei durch den vaginal umschlossenen Abstützkörper 14. Die Positionierung wird durch eine muldenförmige Vertiefung 42, die das Perineum 20 teilweise umgreift, unterstützt. Ebenso kann eine Positionierung des Prophylaxegerätes 10 mit Hilfe des Anus 44 erfolgen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst der Abstützkörper 14 die Mulde 42 und erstreckt sich bis zum Anus 44.In the imported state ( Fig. 2 ) In the illustrated embodiment, the perineum 20 is encompassed by the insertion body 12 and the support body 14. The positioning of the Prohylaxegerätes 10 takes place here by the vaginally enclosed support body 14. The positioning is supported by a trough-shaped recess 42 which surrounds the perineum 20 partially. Likewise, a positioning of the prophylactic device 10 by means of the anus 44 can take place. In the illustrated embodiment, the support body 14 includes the trough 42 and extends to the anus 44th

Der Arm 34 verläuft im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel am Os Pubis 46 vorbei und würde bei einem versehentlichen starken Ziehen am Os Pubis 46 anstoßen. Da das Prophylaxegerät 10 dadurch nur in einem bestimmten Bereich beweglich ist, wird eine Verletzung der inneren Organe durch eine falsche Handhabung vermieden. Eine Bewegung des Prophylaxegerätes 10 von dem Os Pubis 46 weg wird durch die Armlänge der Benutzerin beschränkt, während eine Bewegung senkrecht dazu durch die Oberschenkel 48 beschränkt wird.The arm 34 in the illustrated embodiment passes the os Pubis 46 and would abut an accidental strong pulling on Os Pubis 46. As a result, since the prophylactic device 10 is movable only in a certain range, injury to the internal organs due to incorrect handling is avoided. Movement of the prophylactic device 10 away from the os pubis 46 is limited by the arm length of the user while restricting movement therealong through the thighs 48.
