Description

Die Erfindung betrifft orthopädische Schuhe mit mehrschichtigen Polstermaterialien gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to orthopedic shoes with multi-layer cushioning materials according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ärzte und Orthopädiefachleute beobachten, dass die Zahl der Patienten, die aufgrund ihres Krankheitsbildes kontinuierlich und teilweise in starkem Umfang Schweiß, Sekret und/oder Blut absondern, ständig zunimmt. Ein erstes Beispiel sind Diabetiker und Raucher, deren Füße und Beine aufgrund ihrer gestörten Durchblutung sehr druckempfindlich sind und aus schwärenden Wunden Sekret und Blut absondern. Ein weiteres Beispiel sind Rheumatiker, die aufgrund ihrer entzündlich erhöhten Körpertemperatur stark schwitzen, wobei der Schweiß häufig größere Mengen von Salzen und anderen Mineralien enthält. Diese Patienten sind überwiegend auf orthopädische Maßschuhe angewiesen, mit deren Hilfe ihre Schmerzen und sonstigen Beschwerden gelindert werden können. Dabei dringen die erwähnten Körperabsonderungen in das Schuhmaterial ein und verändern bzw. zerstören dies. In nicht wenigen Fällen ist ein Paar der teuren orthopädischen Maßschuhe nach wenigen Monaten unbrauchbar und muss ersetzt werden. In allen Fällen ergeben sich hygienische Probleme. Dieser Zustand ist verständlicherweise unbefriedigend.Doctors and orthopedic professionals are observing that the number of patients is due to her clinical picture continuously and sometimes to a large extent sweat, secretions and / or secretion of blood, increases continuously. A first example are diabetics and Smokers, their feet and legs due to their poor circulation are sensitive to pressure and secrete secretion and blood from festering wounds. On Another example are rheumatics who, due to their inflammatory increase Body temperature sweat profusely, with sweat often having large amounts of salts and other minerals. These patients are mostly orthopedic Made to measure, with the help of their pain and other complaints can be alleviated. The body secretions mentioned penetrate into this Shoe material and change or destroy it. In quite a few cases there is a couple of the expensive orthopedic bespoke shoes can only be used after a few months be replaced. Hygienic problems arise in all cases. That state is understandably unsatisfactory.

Aus der EP 0 397 999 ist ein Schutzpolster bekannt, welches als Unterpolsterung unter orthopädischen Schienen verwendet wird. Es besteht aus einer mittigen Polsterschicht, auf deren beiden Seiten zunächst je eine Wasserdampf durchlässige Membran und darauf je eine Feuchtigkeit aufsaugende poröse Schicht aufgeklebt ist. Aufgrund der beidseitig vorgesehenen Membranen kann die mittige Polsterschicht keine Feuchtigkeit speichern. Daher ist dieses Schutzpolster für den zuvor beschriebenen Personenkreis nicht geeignet.A protective cushion is known from EP 0 397 999, which is used as under-cushioning orthopedic splints is used. It consists of a central cushion layer, on both sides first a water vapor permeable membrane and then a porous layer absorbing moisture is glued on. Because of both sides provided membranes, the central cushion layer cannot store moisture. Therefore, this protective pad is not suitable for the group of people described above.

Andere Schuhe, auch Therapieschuhe für neuro-angiopathisch geschädigte Füße, in denen feuchtigkeitsundurchlässige jedoch dampfdurchlässige Membranen verarbeitet sind, sind bekannt, beispielsweise aus der WO 97/14326 oder der DE 43 40 433 A1. Bei diesen Schuhen liegt die Membranfolie jedoch lose zwischen dem Schuhobermaterial und dem Schuhinnenfutter. Sie ist lediglich an ihrem Rand befestigt. Polsterschichten sind nicht vorgesehen. Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterial dagegen sind alle Schichten flächig miteinander verbunden, wodurch die Bearbeitung erheblich vereinfacht ist, Abnutzungserscheinungen durch die Relativbewegungen der Schichten gegeneinander völlig entfallen und eine gute Formgebung möglich ist.Other shoes, including therapy shoes for feet damaged by neuro-angiopathy, in which processes moisture-impermeable but vapor-permeable membranes are known, for example from WO 97/14326 or DE 43 40 433 A1. at these shoes, however, the membrane film lies loosely between the shoe upper and the lining of the shoe. It is only attached to its edge. Are upholstery layers not provided. In the case of the cushioning material according to the invention, however, all are Layers are connected to each other over a large area, which considerably simplifies processing is wear and tear due to the relative movements of the layers against each other completely eliminated and good shaping is possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Polstermaterial für Schuhe der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, mit dessen Hilfe die zerstörerischen Wirkungen der Körperabsonderungen des Patienten verhindert werden können, ohne dass die medizinisch/orthopädischen Eigenschaften darunter leiden.The present invention has for its object a cushioning material for shoes of the type mentioned at the outset, with the help of the destructive effects the patient's body secretions can be prevented without the suffer from medical / orthopedic properties.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch orthopädische Schuhe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This task is solved by orthopedic shoes with the characteristics of Claim 1.

Die Vorteile der Schuhe mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterial sind eine ausreichend glatte Oberfläche zum Körper, beispielsweise Fuß des Patienten, die Begrenzung des Ausdehnungsbereiches der Körperabsonderungen auf die Oberschicht, die jedoch hydrophob sowie leicht abwasch- bzw, desinfizierbar ist, die dadurch mögliche Verwendung von praktisch beliebigen Polstermaterialien in jeder für die Versorgung des betreffenden Patienten erforderlichen Dicke und Position, und die Möglichkeit, das in den Körperabsonderungen enthaltene Wasser trotzdem als Dampf entweichen zu lassen. Die orthopädischen Maßschuhe behalten ihre normale Haltbarkeit und Brauchbarkeit.The advantages of shoes with the cushioning material according to the invention are one sufficiently smooth surface to the body, for example the patient's foot, the Limitation of the area of expansion of the body secretions to the upper layer, which, however, is hydrophobic and easily washable or disinfectable, which makes it possible Use of virtually any cushioning material in each for the supply of the required patient thickness and position, and the possibility that in the To allow body secretions to escape as steam. The Made-to-measure orthopedic shoes retain their normal durability and usability.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung befindet sich auf der Rückseite der Polsterschicht eine dritte Verbindungsschicht.According to a development of the invention is located on the back of the Upholstery layer a third tie layer.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung hierzu ist auf die dritte Verbindungsschicht eine textile Rückschicht aufgebracht. Diese Rückschicht kann wie die Oberschicht ein Gewirke, Gestrick, Gewebe oder Vlies sein, angepasst an die geforderte Elastizität und Verformbarkeit. Grundsätzlich kann die Rückschicht die gleichen Eigenschaften haben wie die Oberschicht. Da die Rückschicht jedoch nicht von den Körperabsonderungen beaufschlagt werden kann und keinen direkten Kontakt mit der Haut des Patienten hat, gibt es bei der Auswahl des Material, aus dem die Rückschicht besteht, praktisch keine Begrenzung. Hier kann deshalb auch Leder verwendet werden.According to a first embodiment, a textile is on the third connection layer Back layer applied. Like the top layer, this backing layer can be a knitted fabric, Knitted, woven or non-woven, adapted to the required elasticity and Deformability. Basically, the backing layer can have the same properties as the upper class. However, since the backing does not depend on the body's secretions can be applied and has no direct contact with the patient's skin, there is practically none when choosing the material from which the backing layer is made Limit. Leather can therefore also be used here.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Rückschicht abriebfest. Aus diesem Grund kann das erfindungsgemäße Polstermaterial ohne weiteres benutzt werden, um Schuhe herzustellen, wie sie in der DE 43 40 433 A beschrieben sind. Das erfindungsgemäße Polstermaterial mit abriebfester Rückschicht kann jedoch auch bei allen anderen orthopädischen Hilfsmitteln wie Brücken, Prothesen usw. verwendet werden, bei denen eine Relativbewegung zwischen Polstermaterial und Prothese auftreten kann.The backing layer is advantageously abrasion-resistant. Because of this, it can Upholstery material according to the invention can be easily used to shoes produce as described in DE 43 40 433 A. The invention Upholstery material with an abrasion-resistant backing can also be used with all others orthopedic aids such as bridges, prostheses, etc. are used in which a relative movement between the cushioning material and the prosthesis can occur.

Die Verbindungsschicht, mit der die verschiedenen Materialien flächig miteinander verbunden werden, muss möglichst dampfdurchlässig sein. Es empfiehlt sich daher, diese Verbindungsschicht als punkt- oder linienförmige Klebefläche zu realisieren.The connection layer with which the different materials are flat with each other connected must be as vapor permeable as possible. It is therefore recommended to do this Realize connection layer as a punctiform or linear adhesive surface.

Falls die Schichten aus geeigneten Materialien, insbesondere thermoplastischen Kunststoffen bestehen, lässt die Verbindungsschicht sich auch als Flammkaschierung realisieren.If the layers of suitable materials, especially thermoplastic Plastics, the connection layer can also be used as flame lamination realize.

Gemäß einer ersten Variante hierzu ist die dritte Verbindungsschicht eine Selbstklebeschicht, die mit einem Schutzpapier abgedeckt sein kann. Dank der Selbstklebeschicht lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Polstermaterial sehr einfach an den orthopädischen Hilfsmitteln fixieren. Ein typischer Anwendungsfall sind Innensohlen und Fußbetten in orthopädischen Schuhen.According to a first variant, the third connection layer is one Self-adhesive layer that can be covered with a protective paper. thanks to the Self-adhesive layer, the cushioning material according to the invention can be very easily attached to the Fix orthopedic aids. A typical application is insoles and Footbeds in orthopedic shoes.

Um die Trageigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterials zu optimieren, empfiehlt es sich, die Oberschicht schnell trocknend und/oder abriebfest auszuführen.In order to optimize the wearing properties of the cushioning material according to the invention, it is advisable to make the top layer dry quickly and / or wear-resistant.

Als Polsterschicht eignen sich die bekannten offenporigen Schäume aus Kunststoff.The well-known open-pore foams made of plastic are suitable as a cushion layer.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass die Membran sich leichter verarbeiten lässt, wenn sie sich auf einem textilen Träger befindet.It has been found that the membrane is easier to process if it is located on a textile carrier.

Für besondere medizinisch-hygienische Anwendungen ist die Membran undurchlässig für Bakterien und/oder Viren.The membrane is impermeable to for special medical-hygienic applications Bacteria and / or viruses.

Anhand der Zeichnung soll die Erfindung in Form von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen jeweils rein schematisch

Fig. 1 zeigt rein schematisch einen Ausschnitt durch einen orthopädischen Schuh im Bereich des Oberleders. Man erkennt zunächst angedeutet einen menschlichen Fuß 1 mit einer Wunde 2, die Sekret und Blut absondert. Der Fuß 1, 2 befindet sich in einem orthopädischen Maßschuh, von dem nur ein Stück des Oberleders 3 dargestellt ist.Fig. 1 shows a purely schematic section of an orthopedic shoe in the Area of the upper leather. A human foot 1 is initially indicated with a wound 2 that secretes secretion and blood. Foot 1, 2 is in one orthopedic custom shoe, of which only a piece of the upper 3 is shown.

Zwischen Fuß 1, 2 und Oberleder 3 befindet sich ein mehrschichtiges Polstermaterial 10. Die dem Fuß 1, 2 zugewandte Oberschicht 11 besteht je nach Bedarf aus einem mehr oder weniger elastischen Gewirke, Gestrick, Gewebe oder Vlies. Sie ist luft- und dampfdurchlässig, hydrophob, abwaschbar, desinfizierbar, nach Möglichkeit schnell trocknend und auch ausreichend abriebfest. Außerdem besteht die Oberschicht 11 aus einem hautfreundlichen Material. Sie nimmt Flüssigkeit auf, beispielsweise die Absonderungen der Wunde 2, jedoch ohne diese zu speichern. Aus diesem Grunde scheiden beispielsweise Wolle und Baumwolle aus. Geeignet sind vielmehr Kunstfasern, insbesondere thermoplastische Kunstfasern.A multi-layer cushion material 10 is located between foot 1, 2 and upper leather 3. The upper layer 11 facing the foot 1, 2 consists of one more as required or less elastic knitted, crocheted, woven or non-woven. It is airy and vapor permeable, hydrophobic, washable, disinfectable, if possible quickly drying and also sufficiently abrasion-resistant. The upper layer 11 also consists of a skin-friendly material. It absorbs liquid, for example the Wound 2 secretions, but without saving them. For this reason excrete wool and cotton, for example. Rather synthetic fibers are suitable, especially thermoplastic synthetic fibers.

Auf die Rückseite der Oberschicht 11 ist mit Hilfe einer dampfdurchlässigen Kleberschicht 12 eine feuchtigkeitsundurchlässige, jedoch dampfdurchlässige Membran 13 ganzflächig aufgeklebt. Diese Membran 13 ist ebenso flexibel wie die Oberschicht 11. Aufgrund ihrer Undurchlässigkeit für Flüssigkeit begrenzt sie den Ausbreitungsbereich der von der Wunde 2 abgesonderten Flüssigkeiten auf die Oberschicht 11.On the back of the top layer 11 is with the help of a vapor permeable adhesive layer 12 a moisture-impermeable but vapor-permeable membrane 13 over the entire surface glued. This membrane 13 is as flexible as the top layer 11. Because of its Impermeability to liquids limits the range of spread of the Wound 2 secreted fluids on the top layer 11.

Auf die Rückseite der Membran 13 ist mit Hilfe einer zweiten ebenfalls dampfdurchlässigen Kleberschicht 14 eine Polsterschicht 15 geklebt. Diese Polsterschicht 15 kann aus beliebigen Materialien-bestehen. Sie muss lediglich den durch die Membran 13 hindurchgehenden Dampf weiterleiten. Aus diesem Grunde eignen sich besonders offenporige Schäume aus Kunststoffen. Die Dicke der Polsterschicht 15 kann so gewählt werden, dass sich für den kranken Fuß 1,2 die optimale Entlastung ergibt.On the back of the membrane 13 is also with the help of a second vapor permeable adhesive layer 14 a cushion layer 15 glued. This upholstery layer 15 can consist of any materials. It only has to pass through the membrane 13 Pass on passing steam. For this reason, they are particularly suitable open-pore foams made of plastics. The thickness of the cushion layer 15 can be chosen in this way be that the optimal relief results for the sick foot 1,2.

Auf die Rückseite der Polsterschicht 15 ist mit Hilfe einer dritten dampfdurchlässigen Kleberschicht 16 eine textile Rückschicht 17 ganzflächig aufgeklebt. Die Rückschicht 17 kann ebenfalls aus beliebigen Materialien bestehen, sie muss lediglich dampfdurchlässig sein. Sie hat die Aufgabe, die Polsterschicht 15 zu schützen, so dass diese bei Relativbewegungen gegenüber dem Oberleder 3 des orthopädischen Schuhs nicht beschädigt wird.On the back of the cushion layer 15 is vapor-permeable with the help of a third Adhesive layer 16 a textile back layer 17 glued over the entire surface. The back layer 17 can also consist of any material, it only has to be vapor permeable his. It has the task of protecting the cushion layer 15, so that this Relative movements with respect to the upper leather 3 of the orthopedic shoe are not is damaged.

Die drei Kleberschichten 12, 14, 16 sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel punkt- oder linienförmig ausgeführt, um die Dampfdurchlässigkeit zu gewährleisten.The three adhesive layers 12, 14, 16 are point or in the present embodiment linear design to ensure vapor permeability.

Falls die Schichten 11, 13, 15, 17 des Polstermaterial 10 aus geeigneten thermoplastischen Materialien bestehen, können die Verbindungsschichten 12, 14, 16 auch als Flammkaschierung realisiert werden.If the layers 11, 13, 15, 17 of the cushioning material 10 are made of suitable consist of thermoplastic materials, the connecting layers 12, 14, 16 can also be realized as flame lamination.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein alternatives Polstermaterial 10'. Vorhanden sind die Oberschicht 11, die Membran 13 und die Polsterschicht 15 sowie die diese untereinander verbindenden dampfdurchlässigen Kleberschichten 12, 14. Diese Schichten 11 ... 15 sind für die hervorragenden Eigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterial 10' wesentlich.2 shows an alternative cushioning material 10 '. The upper layer 11 is present Membrane 13 and the cushion layer 15 as well as those that interconnect them vapor permeable adhesive layers 12, 14. These layers 11 ... 15 are for the outstanding properties of the cushioning material 10 'according to the invention.

Die Membran 13 befindet sich hier auf einem textilen Träger 19, wodurch die Verarbeitung der an sich extrem dünnen Membran 13 vereinfacht wird.The membrane 13 is located here on a textile support 19, whereby the Processing of the extremely thin membrane 13 is simplified.

Auf der Rückseite der Polsterschicht 15 ist als dritte Verbindungsschicht eine Selbstklebeschicht 16' aufgebracht, die von einem Schutzpapier 18 abgedeckt ist. Dadurch kann das Polstermaterial 10' nach dem Zuschneiden und Abziehen des Schutzpapiers 18 auf das orthopädische Hilfsmittel, entweder auf die Innenseite des Oberleders 3 bzw. der Sohle des orthopädischen Schuhs der Fig. 1 oder auf eine Krücke oder Prothese aufgeklebt werden. Das geht sehr schnell. Bei Auswahl des richtigen Klebers 16' ist die Verbindung zu dem orthopädischen Hilfsmittel sehr dauerhaft.On the back of the cushion layer 15 is a third connection layer Self-adhesive layer 16 'applied, which is covered by a protective paper 18.
