Definitions

  • the improvements in this sanitary seat are such as to provide a novel and singular instrument which forms both a seat and a seat-bath, being exceptionally useful in facilitating defecation in patients with pathologies deriving in symptoms characteristically causing anal pains and discomfort associated to said action.
  • this improved sanitary seat is useful in the fields of pharmaceutical and medical and sanitary bath industries.
  • seat-baths in lukewarm water at say 37°C (the bath water temperature being similar to that of the patient's body), are useful in relieving the pain and other anal discomforts associated to specific ailments such as haemorrhoids, anal fissure, papillitis, haemorrhoidal thrombosis, etc., in patients about to be operated on or in postoperative condition, the seat-bath further facilitating the defecation of patients which normally suffer from constipation.
  • US 3,490,079 equally refers to a movable bidet which is to be placed on a toilet bowl. As a result of that, it has a perimeter flat flange allowing, thus, the object of the invention to adapt itself to almost every shape of toilet bowls, but it also allows a certain relative movement between the bidet and the bowl due to the fact that it is only retained by the hollow forming the central basin, what makes it very unconfortable for users.
  • the present improved sanitary seat has been devised for allowing this type of patient to defecate while simultaneously taking a seat-bath, providing a novel and singular instrument which by virtue of its simplicity manages to solve the above problems, namely of the disposal and of the disinfection and overall cleaning of the sanitary appliance or instrument.
  • This improved sanitary seat comprises a seat coupled onto and supported by a sanitary bowl available in any home or hospital.
  • the seat is characteristic in that it contains a closed tank which forms a bathtub which may be filled with suitably heated water.
  • the patient can sit on the sanitary bowl, above this singular instrument, and take a seat-bath in the incorporated bathtub.
  • the sanitary seat-bathtub which incorporates an opening on the rear for emptying it, merely tilting the seat-bathtub will cause its contents of faeces and water to pour into the sanitary bowl.
  • this novel and singular apparatus being of a small size, similar to that of a sanitary seat or cover - it can be suitably washed and disinfected elsewhere, such as in the bathroom's bathtub or under the shower.
  • this improved sanitary seat may be fabricated from light, readily cleanable material such as plastic, and disinfected under the bathroom shower.
  • the sanitary seat improvements described in the present invention consist in creating a new apparatus formed by a seat (1), with edge cuts (1B) being provided at the left and right front part to facilitate fitting onto any type of existing sanitary bowl, with a rear opening (2) and attached to a bathtub (4).
  • this seat-bathtub may be placed over any available sanitary bowl, such as any standard bowl.
  • the bathtub (4) is positioned inside the sanitary bowl, supported by the seat (1) sustained on the edge of the sanitary bowl, and may be filled with lukewarm water so that the ailing person or patient sitting on the seat is able to take a seat-bath while defecating, the faeces being collected in the bathtub (4) itself.
  • this improved sanitary seat need only be tilted upwards, thereby raising the front end (5) of the seat, which will continue to be supported on the back ends (6), and the contents of the bathtub (4) will flow off from the ramp (3), through the rear opening (2) and into the sanitary bowl.
  • the contents of faeces and water in the bathtub (4) are thus easily disposed of.
  • this sanitary seat-bathtub can be made of a light, strong material to facilitate its cleaning and disinfection, a task which may be performed by using the bathroom shower.
