Abstract

The present invention relates to an implant for vaginal plastic surgery, wherein the implant comprises an implant body which is implanted in the subcutaneous layer of the woman's vaginal wall and is formed as an opened curved shape that surrounds the vaginal wall.

Description

Vaginal Implants

The present invention relates to an implant for vaginal molding, and more particularly to an implant for vaginal molding that can be performed on the vaginal wall to maximize the feeling.

Vaginal plastic surgery is a plastic surgery that restores the vaginal wall and inner pelvic muscles loosened due to childbirth and frequent sexual intercourse.

For such vaginal molding, a surgical method for reducing the diameter of the vagina by cutting a portion of the vaginal wall and suturing has been proposed. However, such an incision has a problem that side effects of reducing vaginal secretions, side effects of decreasing sex spots, and side effects of vaginal obstruction may occur. In addition, this surgery is expensive and has a problem that the recovery period takes more than two months.

To solve this problem, an implant for vaginal molding has been developed in which an implant having a certain length is inserted into an outer wall of the vaginal wall. Vaginal implants have been disclosed in Patent Application No. 10-2008-0052171.

Figure 1 is an exemplary view showing a state in which the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 is coupled to the vaginal wall (B). Figure 1 (a) is an exemplary view showing a loosely stretched vaginal wall (B) due to frequent sex with childbirth. Figure 1 (b) is an illustration showing a state in which the tightening of the vaginal wall (B) is coupled to the injection molding for the vaginal implant 10 to the outside of the loosened vaginal wall (B).

At this time, the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 is formed in the form of a string having a predetermined length, surrounds the vaginal wall (B) and both ends are joined to the medical thread 20 to form a knot.

In the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 having such a structure, it is difficult to tie the thread 20 to both

ends

11 and 13, and thus, surgery is difficult, and the bundled thread 20 is easily released by the movement of the vaginal wall B. Reoperation was frequently required. In addition, the knot tied by the thread 20 may give a foreign body feeling to the subject, and to remove the implant 10 that has been performed for childbirth or the like, by cutting the implant 10 or breaking the thread 20. There was a drawback to having to go through the cumbersome process of untying the knot.

In addition, the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 has an effect of reducing the diameter of the vagina only in a narrow section into which the vaginal molding implant 10 is inserted, and even if the vaginal molding implant 10 has elasticity, the diameter Since it is deformed only within a certain range in a fixed state, there is a limitation that it is different from the biological muscles that react dynamically during sex.

As a result, even if the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 was performed, the improvement of the feeling was often missed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an implant for vaginal molding that can be maximized by being treated on the vaginal wall to solve the above problems.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an implant for vaginal molding that can adopt a bead at the end of the vaginal molding implant and bring about a local improvement of feeling.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an implant for vaginal molding that can change the diameter in accordance with the change in body temperature by using the shape memory effect and can actively respond to the dynamic reaction during sex.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an implant for vaginal molding that can exhibit an effect of reducing the diameter in the part of the vaginal wall but not in part of the vaginal wall.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an implant for vaginal molding that is easy to perform the procedure and removal because there is no need to tie knots at both ends to form a knot.

In order to fully understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment of the present invention may be modified in various forms, the scope of the invention should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described in detail below. This embodiment is provided to more completely explain the present invention to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the shape of the elements in the drawings and the like may be exaggerated to emphasize a more clear description. It should be noted that the same members in each drawing are sometimes shown with the same reference numerals. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that are determined to unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention are omitted.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the implant 100 for vaginal molding according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the implant for vaginal molding 100 according to the present invention has a structure of an open curve that is implanted in the subcutaneous layer of the vaginal wall of a woman and surrounds the vaginal wall. That is, the implant body 110 is linear, but both

ends

120 and 130 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance to form the opening 140. Since both

ends

120 and 130 do not meet each other, the implant body 110 surrounds the vaginal wall B and is able to apply a pressing force in a direction in which the vaginal wall B is contracted by the elasticity of the implant body 110 itself.

According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the implant 100 for vaginal molding has both

ends

120 and 130 spaced apart from each other by a predetermined spacing unlike the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 shown in FIG. 1. Is placed. The injection molding body 110 is formed to have a shape of "C" as a whole.

Since both ends 120 and 130 of the vaginal molding implant 100 are spaced apart, the procedure for joining the thread 20 during the procedure of the conventional vaginal molding implant 10 may be omitted and the procedure time may be simplified. There is no risk of loosening (20). In addition, there is no knot formed after the procedure of the conventional vaginal molding implant 10, the subject does not feel the foreign body.

At this time, the implant for the molding 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may be curvature is formed in a spiral as well as circular. When formed in a spiral, as shown in FIG. 2, the one end 120 and the other end 130 of the implant body 110 are disposed to be spaced apart by a predetermined height h. When comparing the case formed in a circular form and the case formed in a spiral form, in the case of a circular shape, the distance between the openings 140 does not cover the vaginal wall B but the height difference when the form is formed in a spiral form. Since the opening 140 is formed by (h), the implant 100 for enclosing the entire outer circumference of the vaginal wall B can be applied to apply a pressing force to the omnidirectional direction of the vaginal wall B.

In addition, when formed in a spiral, the direction in which the pressing force is applied may be applied in different directions instead of toward the same center point, so that sexuality may be improved during sex.

Here, the injection molding implant 100 according to the present invention is formed by Shape Memory Ploymers (SMPs). The shape memory polymer can be made into any shape at high temperature, remember the shape, and then cool it. If it is deformed at low temperature, the shape memory polymer does not return to the original shape, but when heated above a certain temperature (glass transition temperature), it is returned to the original shape. Has the property of returning.

As a result, the vaginal molding implant 100 according to the present invention is not fixed in diameter and varies with temperature, thereby actively changing the muscle movement and heat of the vaginal wall during sexual intercourse, thereby increasing satisfaction of sexual relations.

Figure 6 is an exemplary view showing the principle of varying the diameter of the injection molding implant 100 of the present invention to press the vaginal wall.

The injection molding apparatus 100 of the present invention melt-casts powder or pellets of the shape memory polymer to form an initial shape 400. In this case, a crosslinking agent may be used or light may be irradiated for crosslinking the shape memory polymer, if necessary. The initial shape 400 is formed smaller than the diameter (R1) of the vaginal wall (B) desired by the subject. The initial shape 400 is formed at the temperature of R3 at high temperature, and after cooling, the shape is deformed to the diameter R1 of the vaginal wall B desired by the subject at low temperature.

Since the implant 100 for maintaining the nitrogen molding maintains the diameter of R1 at a low temperature, the vaginal wall B, which is loosened to the diameter of R2, is shrunk to the diameter of R1.

3 and 4 are exemplary views showing a state in which the vaginal implant implant 100 of the present invention is performed on the vaginal wall (B). As shown in FIG. 3, the vaginal molding implant 100 surrounds the vaginal wall B and tightens the vaginal wall B to the diameter of R1. At this time, the glass transition temperature of the shape-memory polymer for forming the injection molding implant 100 is set to be 37 ℃ or more higher than the body temperature 36.5 ℃.

When the vaginal implant 100 has sex in the state of being treated on the vaginal wall B, the body temperature is increased according to the excited state of the subject, or the temperature of the vaginal wall B is increased by the frictional heat caused by the sexual intercourse. When the temperature of the vaginal wall B exceeds the glass transition temperature, the shape memory polymer attempts to return to the initial shape 400 having a diameter R3. As a result, the diameter of the vaginal molding implant 100 gradually decreases, and the vaginal wall B is elastically pressed and tightened by applying a contraction force f.

Therefore, as the body temperature increases during sexual intercourse, the diameter of the shape memory polymer may gradually decrease, and the sexual feeling during sexual intercourse may be further improved.

On the contrary, when the sex ends and the body temperature is lower than the glass transition temperature, the vaginal implant 100 is returned to the diameter of R1.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of

vaginal molding implants

100 and 100a may be performed at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction of the vaginal wall B. FIG. In this case, the various parts of the vaginal wall B may be elastically pressed to further increase satisfaction during sex.

On the other hand, Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional configuration of the injection molding implant (100 ', 100a') according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the above-described preferred molding implant 100 according to the preferred embodiment, the implant body 110 is entirely formed by the shape memory polymer. On the other hand, the injection molding implants 100 'and 100a' according to another embodiment may be formed by combining two shape memory polymers having different glass transition temperatures and initial shapes, or a shape memory alloy and a shape memory polymer. have.

The shape memory alloy is a material using the shape memory effect in the same manner as the shape memory polymer. The shape memory alloy has a property of returning to the initial shape when the glass transition temperature is reached. The shape memory alloy is variously provided, such as a Ti-Ni alloy, a Ti-Ni-Cu alloy, a Ti-Ni-Fe alloy, a Cu-Zn-Al alloy, a Cu-Al-Ni alloy, and a Cu-Au-Zn alloy. Ti-Ni alloys are widely used as heart stents.

The shape memory alloy has various glass transition temperatures depending on the composition ratio of the metals. Accordingly, the shape memory alloy to be used in the forming mold 100 of the present invention may be formed by having a glass transition temperature close to the body temperature.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 5, the shape memory alloy 111 is disposed at the center of the vaginal implant implant 100 ′ according to another embodiment, and the shape memory polymer 111 is formed around the shape memory alloy 111. 113 may be formed in a wrapping form.

In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, the first injection molding polymer 111a is disposed at the center of the vaginal molding implant 100a 'and the second shape is formed around the first molding memory 111a. The memory polymer 113a may be formed in a wrapping shape.

At this time, the shape of the cross section may be variously formed in a circular as well as non-circular form.

In this case, the shape memory alloy 111 or the first shape memory polymer 111a and the shape memory polymer 113 and the second shape memory polymer 113a disposed in the center have a glass transition temperature and an initial shape. The diameters are set differently.

The shape memory alloy 111 and the first shape memory polymer 111a have a glass transition temperature slightly higher than the body temperature, and the shape memory polymer 113 and the second shape memory polymer 113a have a slightly higher glass transition. The temperature can be set.

For example, the shape memory alloy 111 and the first shape-memory polymer 111a have a glass transition temperature of 37 ° C., and the shape memory polymer 113 and the second shape-memory polymer 113a are slightly higher at 39 ° C. It can be set to.

The shape memory alloy 111 and the first shape memory polymer 111a are formed in a shape in which the initial shape 200 has a diameter of R3 shown in FIG. 6, and the shape memory polymer 113 and the second shape memory memory 111. The polymer 113a is formed in a shape in which the initial shape 400 has a diameter of R4 which is smaller than R3.

When the implant for vaginal molding (100 ', 100a') according to another embodiment is performed on the loosened vaginal wall (B '), the vaginal wall (B) is normally maintained in the state of R1, and the body temperature rises due to sexual intercourse. The memory alloy 111 and the first shape-retaining polymer 111a first apply a pressing force f to the vaginal wall B in order to reach the glass transition temperature and change to the initial shape 200 of the diameter of R3. The vaginal wall B "also gradually shrinks in diameter.

As sex progresses, the body temperature rises further, and the shape memory polymer 113 and the second shape memory polymer 113a reach the glass transition temperature, and the greater pressure is applied to change the initial shape 400 of the diameter of R4 into the vaginal wall. It is applied to (B ").

Accordingly, the subject becomes increasingly tightened of the vaginal wall (B ") in accordance with the change in body temperature at the time of sexual intercourse, so that not only the person but also the other party can feel the sexual feeling.

On the other hand, Figures 7 and 8 is a perspective view and a state diagram showing the procedure for vaginal molding implant 100 "according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The above-described preferred molding implant 100 is formed in a circular shape, while another embodiment of the molded implant 100 " is formed in a coil spring having a predetermined length (L). The length of the implant 100 "may be selected according to the wishes of the subject. As the length L of the implant body 110 ′ between the one end 120 ′ and the other end 130 ′ is longer, the area surrounding the vaginal wall B may be wider.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8, when the vaginal wall B is performed on the vaginal wall B, the entire region may be covered instead of a predetermined portion. Accordingly, the elastic pressing force can be applied to the entire vaginal wall B, thereby improving the satisfaction of feeling.

9 is an exemplary view showing an example of a surgical tool 300 for treating the implant 100 for vaginal molding of the present invention.

As shown, the injection molding implant 100 of the present invention may be inserted into the vaginal wall (B) by using the treatment tool 300, the handle 310 and the semi-circular insertion needle 320 is formed. The operator forms an incision hole with a small size so that the insertion needle 320 can be inserted into the vaginal wall, inserts the insertion needle 320 into the incision hole, rotates the insertion needle 320, and the vaginal molding implant 100 To be placed outside the vaginal wall (B).

At this time, the insertion hole 330 is formed at the end of the insertion needle 320 is inserted into the injection molding (100).

Since the operator does not need to combine the threads unlike the conventional art, the procedure may be completed by inserting the implant 100 for the vaginal molding using the treatment tool 300.

Meanwhile, according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, beads such as beads may be formed at both ends 120 and 130 of the vaginal molding implant 100. The beads form a jaw protruding outward from the vaginal implant 100 to maximize the stimulation to the subcutaneous layer when the vaginal implant 100 is implanted in the subcutaneous layer of the vaginal wall (B). Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the bead should be formed larger than the cross-sectional area of the implant 100 for vaginal molding.

10 to 12 show the configuration of the implant for forming the bead formed at both ends. One end 120 is formed in the shape of a bead 160 is larger than the cross-sectional area of one end 120, the other end 130 is bead-shaped other end bead 150 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the other end 130 Formed. The beads may be formed at both ends 120 and 130, but may be formed only at one end 120 or the other end 130. However, most preferably, the bead is formed at one end 120 or the other end 130, when inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the vaginal wall (B) to be located under the g-spot is effective to maximize the feeling.

As shown in FIG. 11, the

beads

150 and 160 may have a coupling structure to be separated and coupled to both ends 120 and 130, respectively. Coupling structure, there is a fitting groove on the inside of the bead (150,160) may be fitted to the both ends (120,130), the other end bead coupling groove 151 of the thread form inside the other end bead 150 In addition, the other end coupling protrusion 131 of the thread form on the outer surface of the other end 130 may be screwed or rotated. An example of the coupling structure is not limited to the one disclosed above, and may be employed as long as the structure can physically couple and separate two objects. In this way, the beads are separated and combined so that they can be inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the vaginal wall (B) while the beads are separated, and the insertion and removal procedures can be easily performed by combining the beads after the insertion position adjustment is completed. It is effective.

As shown in FIG. 12, the

beads

150 and 160 may be formed at one end or the other end even when the injection molding implant 100 is spirally wound a plurality of times such as a spring.

When the beads thus formed are implanted into the vaginal wall B, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the bead 160 is interposed between the vaginal wall and the object inserted into the vagina, so that the vaginal wall B is further formed. Can be stimulated. Therefore, the one end bead 160 should be performed to be located where the g spot is located to maximize the effect of the procedure. This improves female sexual satisfaction, and indirectly has the effect of improving male sexual satisfaction.

As described above, the implant for vaginal molding according to the present invention may provide elasticity to the vaginal wall because the vaginal implant surrounds the vaginal spiral. In addition, the shape memory polymer is used to change the diameter in accordance with the change in temperature, the shape is actively changed according to the change in body temperature during sex can maximize sexual satisfaction.

In addition, there is no fear of loosening and reoperation.

In addition, a bead is formed at the end of the vaginal molding implant can maximize the stimulation to the vaginal wall during sexual activity can have a great effect on improving sexual satisfaction.
