DEMAND OF INVENTION

The inventor, clad in large baggage in the area of hospital bed handling procedures, identified a pressing need for bathing in patients unable to move voluntarily, and even though they cannot be removed from bed, either because of the difficulty due to excessive weight movement or due to movement restrictions imposed in the postoperative condition, for example.

Remissively, the inventor identified an explicit need to make the “bedridden patient bath” activity provided with ergonomics for both the bedridden patient and the nursing professionals (nurses and / or nursing assistants).

In addition, there is a pressing need for the “bed-bathing” activity to be provided for cleaning both during and after its performance, where the bed condition where the bed-patient is to be kept free of moisture and made by eliminating any possibility of contamination and formation of mold on bedding fabric for example.

PARADIGM OF THE INVENTION

According to what is revealed in the demand topic of the invention the inventor has chosen as development paradigm the hospital bed cleaning procedure in which abundant water washing equipment is used.

INVENTION REQUIREMENTS

In line with the demand and paradigm 15 of the invention the applicant has devised an unprecedented "waterproof bath or sheet supporting the use of apparatus to provide cleanliness in bedridden individuals unable to move voluntarily" provided with associated novelty of inventive activity, as it is not the result of obvious or obvious manner of the solution known in the prior art which is limited to damp cloth washing over the patient's body, and nothing more.

In addition the "invention" in the form of a waterproof bath or sheet is provided with industrial applicability, being economically viable and therefore meeting the stringency of patentability requirements, notably as a patent for invention, as set out in the provisions of article 825. and 130 of Law 9,279.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUNDS

In order to provide truth and consolidate the context explained in the topics of the introductory table will be presented an explanation on the state of the art dictated by solutions developed and widely used for the care of bedridden patients, where after critical analysis of these, once exposed to professionals With expertise in the area of the hospital environment and even in a condition of cleanliness in a residential environment, can identify its limiting aspects, thus consolidating the identification of the needs of demands for the unprecedented apparatus to provide cleanliness in individuals with restrictions of voluntary movement.

State of the art:

a.1 Inpatient cleanliness:

It is common in an inpatient setting to shower the disabled person for a moment and / or permanently by washing his or her body through the use of a moistened cloth all over their body, such that this procedure aims to restore their physical and physical comfort. mental.

a.2 Identification of the problems: the conventional cleaning bath demands the use of numerous manpower, where at least two nursing assistants perform the cleaning by wiping the patient's body with a damp cloth, which is an activity for

too unproductive, which causes great discomfort to both assistants and the patient himself, whose final result is far from desirable, because the cleaning itself is never complete, because it is inevitable to leave regions where there is still dirt. In conclusion, the deficient quality of conventional cleanliness leads to the need to repeat the procedure 20 in a short period of time, which also increases both patient and nursing assistant discomfort and undesirably increases the operational cost of cleanliness. of the patient.

b.1 Bath solution with washing and suction apparatus: it deals with apparatus for cleaning patients immobilized in

hospital or home bed, disclosed in patent PI-XXXXXX-X, which remissively aggregates two large devices, namely the washing device, formed by a shower, whose function is to provide the washing of the patient's body with a enough water for cleanliness to be carried out with the ease of use of hygiene products such as special soaps. In contrast, a suction device for the dirty water generated by the washing operation itself is defined.

b.2 Identification of the problem: although the device to help the immobilized patients cleanse is effective in the body wash of these patients, a major problem is identified, which pertains to maintaining the minimum condition necessary for the comfort of the patient lying in bed. because if applied to the water wash directly on the bed with the patient lying on it, the final result is translated into a 5 bed, bed with wet bedding and mattress, and such moisture can precipitate in the form of water to the floor, the which makes the hospital bed environment inappropriate for maintaining an aseptic environment.

b.3 Cause of the problem: It is explained by the fact that these accessory inputs such as bedding are made of fabric, and therefore permeable, thus facilitating their contamination and deterioration of the set of bedding and mattress.

PROPOSAL OF THE INVENTION

The inventor aware of the gap that exists in the activity of cleansing in immobilized patients, notably when applying water wash over conventional wet cloth bathing, has developed an inventive solution in the form of a "waterproof bath or sheet". ”Solving the problem identified in the fundamentals topic of the art, namely the impairment of all bedding and mattress worn by an immobilized patient.

The. Development Paradigms:

The inventor aware of the limitations imposed by the patient cleaning procedure by means of a washing apparatus has defined as a guideline the obtaining of such a solution as to guarantee

maintenance of the condition of the use of bedding and mattress after cleaning procedure of this patient with the use of abundant water.

- It is also a requirement for the development of the cleaning solution for patients immobilized in a hospital or home bed, that the cleaning procedure itself should be loaded with ergonomics.

for both patient and nursing assistants.

Predominant distinctive feature: having as its guide the development parameters of the solution listed above, the inventor devised a product in the form of a bath or waterproof sheet, notably that it has added to it the main function of providing at the end of the patient's washing, an environment free from moisture, dirty water from cleanliness, clean and totally aseptic, especially in the bed (bedding and mattress) of the bed and its surroundings, where the aspiration of dirty water generated in the bath is practiced; and

Inventive concept: To make the distinctive features of the solution feasible to provide the cleanliness of disabled and lying in bed on a hospital or home bed while maintaining the conditions of use of the bedding and mattress, the inventor has developed a waterproof bath or sheet. , made of any kind of fabric, and said bath or sheet should preferably be disposable.
