Publication number: 20240197522Abstract: A rectocele device having a rectocele handle with a first paddle removably affixed to a rectocele paddle connector at a paddle connector end. A second paddle is configured to replace the first paddle after the first paddle is removed from the rectocele paddle connector. The first paddle is configured and sized to fit within a human vagina wherein the first paddle is only removable from the handle distal end when the first paddle is not deployed in the human vagina. The first paddle is shaped differently from the second paddle. The first or second paddle is inserted in a human vagina (by a woman using the rectocele device) wherein the first or second paddle can be leveraged against a rectocele via the rectocele handle thereby pushing the rectocele bulge back into the colon so that the woman can evacuate a bowel more efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2024Publication date: June 20, 2024Applicant: MEDICELE LLCInventors: Ryan Maaskamp, Armand Maaskamp

Patent number: 11259957Abstract: A rectocele device having an inflatable balloon and extendable armature inside of the balloon as the balloon expands provides added stability when used to push on a rectocele. More specifically, a rectocele handle can include a rectocele paddle, which can extend in length, and balloon combination extending from the handle. The paddle, generally comprised by a piston and piston housing, can increase its length by way of a piston extending in and out of the piston housing. When the rectocele paddle and balloon combination is deployed in a vagina, to push on the rectocele, the balloon is inflated which causes the piston to extend from the piston housing with the balloon inflation. The piston and piston housing paddle provide stability for the inflated balloon.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Inventors: Ryan Maaskamp, Armand Maaskamp

More specifically, a rectocele handle can include a rectocele paddle, which can extend in length, and balloon combination extending from the handle. A protective sheath that has a tubular body covers the balloon. The paddle, generally comprised by a piston and piston housing, can increase its length by way of a piston extending in and out of the piston housing. When the rectocele paddle and balloon combination is deployed in a vagina, to push on the rectocele, the balloon is inflated which causes the piston to extend from the piston housing with the balloon inflation. The piston and piston housing paddle provide stability for the inflated balloon.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Inventors: Ryan Maaskamp, Armand Maaskamp
