The ergonomic protective shell device of the orthosis type includes a structure provided with a front end and a rear end. The structure has a shape widening from the front end to the rear end and is symmetrical along a longitudinal vertical median plane. The structure includes at least one cavity extending from one to the other of the ends. The cavity follows the widening shape and includes a narrowing in the area of the widened rear end. There are rigid support zones formed in the area of the widened rear end on each side of the narrowing of the cavity.

The invention relates to a patch for covering a body site, such as the anus, to a method for applying the patch, and to the use of the patch.

An insertion device includes a stent and a plurality of sealing elements where each sealing element is operatively attached to the stent and an earclip retention system.

A topical treatment for anorectal disorders with and without utilization of a contoured seat cushion with a temperature-adapted or electrical stimulation element that can provide hot or cold temperatures or electrical stimulation to the anorectal region.

A perianal support device is provided that is configured to inhibit the formation and/or progression of tissue damage in the perianal region of the body. A method is provided to apply the perianal support device to patients during childbirth to inhibit the formation and/or progression of tissue damage in the perianal region of the body.

A device for treating fecal incontinence in a subject is provided. The device includes a plug configured for positioning mostly within an anal canal of the subject.

A hemorrhoid relief product that provides an intergluteal spacer for gentle separation of the gluteal cheeks, external support of hemmorhoidal tissue with a cradling effect on inflamed or prolapsed or related perianal tissues, while providing absorption. The product optionally includes adhesive to secure the device in place. The product may include a cavity for positioning over hemorrhoidal tissue to provide pressure adjustment, and may also include at least one nub for selectively applying and/or adjusting pressure to areas. The product may include a trapezoidal, or other, cross-section for easier fit, as well as a split end for adherence to multiple gluteal cheeks and anatomy in the relevant area.

A perianal support device is provided that is configured to inhibit the formation and/or progression of tissue damage in the perianal region of the body. A method is provided to apply the perianal support device to patients during childbirth to inhibit the formation and/or progression of tissue damage in the perianal region of the body.

The application provides for an elastic band application ligation device. The following medical device medical device features an embowed inner tube, having a wall and a flat tip, a pusher which is complementarily shaped to said inner tube; and a receiving port, which is configured to removably attach to a device capable of generating suction. Preferably, this device capable of generating suction will be a disposable luer lock syringe.

A device for emptying stool from the rectum of a patient by means of a shaft body which is introduced into the bowel via the anus and is able to buckle or fold axially and radially, and which is provided with a dumbbell- or hourglass-shaped balloon body for assuring the transanal positioning of the device. The invention is further characterized by the special design of and choice of material for the shaft body and the balloon envelope and by the specific positioning of the balloon body on the shaft body, wherein the axial deflection of the free forward end of the shaft body is limited or an uncontrolled deflection of the shaft is prevented, and the probability of perforation of the bowel wall under the effect of force acting on the shaft body from an axial direction is therefore decisively reduced by the intestinal tube described according to the invention.
