Embodiment Construction

[0044] Figures 1-5 show an embodiment of a probe 1 according to the invention. The probe 1 has an open end 2 and a closed end 3, and an elongated body portion extending therebetween. For easy insertion of the probe into the anal canal, the body portion of the probe has a circular cross-sectional shape, eg cylindrical, and the closed end is spherical, smooth and substantially conical. The probe is hollow from the open end to the closed distal end. The elongated body portion thus constitutes the side walls of the probe.

[0045] The probe comprises a groove 4 provided on the side wall. The slot 4 extends longitudinally along the length of the probe on the side walls. When the probe is inserted into the anal canal, a portion of the anal canal will enter (or lie in / sink) into the groove 4, enabling the surgeon to examine and treat this portion via the opening 5 and via the hollow space 6 of the probe. Such treatment may involve injection of a dilation agent through a cannula i...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a probe (1) for insertion in a patient's anal canal. Said probe comprises a hollowed (6) tubular member having a closed end (3) adapted to enter the anal canal and an oppositely arranged open end (2) for receiving surgical instruments, at least one longitudinally extending groove (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) being provided in the sidewall of the hollowed member so as to allow a part of the patient's anal canal to enter into the groove, said groove being accessible for examination and treatment of said part of the anal canal via an opening (5, 5a, 5b, 5c) near said open end of the hollowed member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a probe inserted into the anal canal (canalis analis) and rectum of the body for the examination and treatment of patients suffering from diseases in those areas. More particularly, the present invention relates to a probe for use in the treatment of patients suffering from anal incontinence by injecting a bulking agent to obtain a controlled passage of feces / air within the anal canal. Background technique [0002] Anal incontinence disease is a common medical problem for many people and various medical and surgical treatments have been developed and used to treat these people. For example, different modalities of surgical repair of the anal sphincter are used to improve the function of the anal sphincter, artificial anal sphincter devices can be implanted in the patient to prevent leakage of feces / air, or expanders can be injected into the anal canal tissue to limit the passage of feces. The present invention is prefe...
