Enterotrib

Enterotrib (from ancient Greek ἔντερον - intestine and τρίβω - rub, press) is a medical instrument for crushing and removing fecal stones from the intestines.

The enterotribe is a metal tube with a rounded tip, inside of which there is a screw rod. When the rod rotates, the tip compresses and crushes the fecal stone. The instrument is inserted into the intestines through the anus.

Enterotribe is also called "crush pulp" or "exraser". It is used for the non-operative treatment of patients with coprostasis and fecal stones in the colon. The use of enterotribe allows you to avoid surgery to remove stones.

Thus, enterotribe is an important tool in the arsenal of proctologists and gastroenterologists for the conservative treatment of colon diseases associated with the formation of fecal stones.



From English, the word enterotrib is translated as a digestive or gastric grinder of food masses or liquid that comes from the stomach. All functions of this element are performed by specialized muscles. This happens very difficult. In the abdomen, the muscles alternately contract: one presses the food mass, the second directs



Enterotribes are crushing food mixers, consisting of two semi-cylindrical metal (sometimes from other materials - glass, ceramics) and, less often, plastic components tightly fitted to each other, into one of the chambers of which (the body), firmly connected to the mixer motor, is loaded the original product, and mass or liquid is fed into another chamber (hopper). The working element (tip, spherical drum, etc.) passed through the crushed product is a piston. The material of the half-cylinders and hoppers can have different thicknesses. A hemispherical loading hopper with a working element attached to it (a fryer, inside which a sphere rotates
