Abstract

The crotch region (5) contains a central opening (8) and/or at least one opening (9, 9) is provided in the area between the crotch region and waist (1). The underwear (2) comprises a knitted material with elastic fibres (3) in at least its upper region.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Netzhöschen bestehend aus einem aus einer Vielzahl einzelner Fäden gewirkten, oben offenen und zumindest im Bereich des oberen Randes mit eingewirkten elastischen Fäden versehenem Schlauch, wobei die untere Öffnung des Schlauchs durch zusammengewirkte Randbereiche der Schlauchwand mittig über einen Bereich geschlossen ist, so dass die untere Öffnung zwei durch den geschlossenen Schrittbereich getrennte Beinausschnitte aufweist.The invention relates to a net panty consisting of a made of a plurality of individual threads, open at the top and provided at least in the region of the upper edge with knitted elastic threads hose, the lower opening of the tube is closed by zusammengewirkte edge regions of the tube wall centrally over a range, so the lower opening has two leg cut-outs separated by the closed crotch area.

Derartige Netzhöschen werden vorzugsweise in Krankenhäusern und in der Altenpflege angewandt. Um Untersuchungen im Genital- und / oder Analbereich durchführen zu können war es bisher notwendig, die Netzhöschen auszuziehen, die Untersuchungen durchzuführen und anschließend das Netzhöschen wieder anzuziehen. Bei schweren, bettlägerigen Patienten wurden die Netzhöschen zerschnitten und nach der Untersuchung durch neue ersetzt. Auch das Verlegen von z. B. Kathedern ist bei den bekannten Netzhöschen schwierig. Oft wird der Katheder am oberen Bund aus dem Höschen herausgeführt, wobei es durchaus zum Knicken und damit Blockieren des Katheders kommen kann.Such mesh pants are preferably used in hospitals and in the elderly. In order to be able to carry out examinations in the genital and / or anal area, it was previously necessary to take off the net panties, carry out the tests and then put the net panties back on. In heavy, bedridden patients, the mesh panties were cut and replaced with new ones after the examination. The laying of z. B. cathedrals is difficult in the known Netzhöschen. Often the catheter is led out of the panty at the upper waistband, whereby it can come quite to kinking and thus blocking the catheter.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Netzhöschen derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass ein leichter, ungehinderter Zugang zum Genital- und / oder Analbereich von die Netzhöschen tragenden Patienten gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to develop net pants so that a light, unhindered access to the genital and / or anal area is guaranteed by the mesh panties bearing patients.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, dass der geschlossene Schrittbereich eine mittige Öffnung aufweist und / oder dass zwischen dem Schrittbereich und dem oberen Rand auf mindestens einer Seite der Schlauchwand eine Öffnung vorgesehen ist.To achieve this object, it is proposed that the closed crotch region has a central opening and / or that an opening is provided between the crotch region and the upper edge on at least one side of the hose wall.

Die im Schrittbereich vorgesehene Öffnung erlaubt Untersuchung und das Verlegen von Kathedern im Vaginalbereich von weiblichen Patienten. Die Öffnung zwischen dem Schrittbereich und dem oberen Rand auf zumindest einer Seite der Schlauchwandung erlaubt Untersuchungen wie Rektoskopien und dergleichen, ohne dass das Netzhöschen für diese Untersuchungen ausgezogen und später wie angezogen bzw. ausgetauscht werden muss.The opening provided in the crotch area allows examination and laying of catheters in the vaginal area of female patients. The opening between the crotch area and the upper edge on at least one side of the hose wall allows examinations such as rectoscopy and the like, without the net panties for these examinations must be pulled out and later as tightened or replaced.

Es hat sich bewährt, dass auf beiden Seiten der Schlauchwandung im Wesentlichen gegenüberliegende Öffnungen vorgesehen sind. Damit sind die Netzhöschen im vorderseitigen und hinterseitigen Bereich gleich ausgebildet. Ein "falsches" Anziehen der Netzhöschen ist damit nicht möglich. Die Netzhöschen können, wie bisher üblich, ohne Beachtung der Vorder- bzw. Hinterseite dem Patienten angezogen werden. Weiterhin könnte bei männlichen Patienten die eine Öffnung in der Netzhöschen- Schlauchwand für rektale Untersuchungen und die zweite Öffnung in der Schlauchwand für genitale Untersuchungen verwendet werden.It has been proven that substantially opposite openings are provided on both sides of the hose wall. Thus, the mesh panties in the front and back area are the same. A "wrong" tightening the net pants is not possible. The mesh panties can, as usual, be attracted to the patient without regard to the front or rear side. Furthermore, in male patients, one opening in the mesh panty tube wall for rectal examinations and the second opening in the tube wall could be used for genital examinations.

Obwohl die Öffnungen durch die große Elastizität der Netzhöschen um einen gewissen Bereich bis an die benötigte Stelle gezogen werden können, hat es sich bewährt, die Öffnungen in der Netzhöschen- Schlauchwand in der unteren Hälfte vorzugsweise im unteren Drittel der Schlauchwand vorzusehen.Although the openings can be pulled up to the required location by a certain range due to the great elasticity of the net pants, it has been found useful to provide the openings in the net panty hose wall in the lower half, preferably in the lower third of the hose wall.

Von Vorteil ist, dass die Öffnungen von eingewirkten elastischen Fäden umgeben sind. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Öffnungen möglichst zusammengehalten werden. Erst bei Bedarf können die Öffnungen durch Spreizen der elastischen Ränder für entsprechende Untersuchungen oder das Verlegen von Kathedern geöffnet werden.It is advantageous that the openings are surrounded by knitted elastic threads. This ensures that the openings are held together as possible. Only when needed, the openings by spreading the elastic Edges are opened for appropriate examinations or the laying of cathedrals.

Damit die Öffnungen trotz der sie zusammenhaltenden elastischen Fäden zu finden sind hat es sich bewährt, die elastischen Fäden farblich gegenüber den Fäden des Netzhöschens zu kennzeichnen.In order for the openings to be found in spite of the elastic threads that hold them together, it has proven useful to color-characterize the elastic threads with respect to the threads of the mesh knot.

Von Vorteil ist, wenn die Öffnungen durch eine Sollbruchstelle verschlossen sind. Dadurch werden die Öffnungen noch sicherer als lediglich durch die elastischen Fäden, die selbstverständlich zusätzlich verwendet werden können, verschlossen. Die Sollbruchstelle ist dabei so ausgelegt, dass die Öffnungen Bei Bedarf problemlos geöffnet werden können.It is advantageous if the openings are closed by a predetermined breaking point. As a result, the openings are even more secure than just by the elastic threads, which can of course be used in addition closed. The predetermined breaking point is designed so that the openings can be opened easily if necessary.

Dazu empfiehlt es sich, die Sollbruchstelle durch einen, die Ränder der Öffnungen grobmaschig zusammenheftenden Faden zu bilden. Der Faden kann bei Bedarf leicht herausgezogen werden, so dass die jeweilige Öffnung frei ist.For this purpose, it is recommended to form the predetermined breaking point by a, the edges of the openings grobmaschig stitching thread. The thread can be easily pulled out if necessary, so that the respective opening is free.

Ist der Faden gegenüber den Fäden des Netzhöschens und/oder gegenüber den die Öffnungen umgebenden elastischen Fäden farblich gekennzeichnet, so kann die Sollbruchstelle ohne weiteres gefunden und betätigt werden.If the thread is marked in color with respect to the threads of the net panty and / or with respect to the elastic threads surrounding the openings, then the predetermined breaking point can readily be found and actuated.

Die Erfindung wird anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt die Figur die Ansicht eines oben gespreizten Netzhöschens von unten. Aus der Figur ist der obere Rand 1 des Netzhöschens 2 ersichtlich. Im Bereich des oberen Randes 1 sind elastische Fäden 3 in das Netzhöschen 2 eingewirkt. Das Netzhöschen 2 wird doppellagig gewirkt. Im Bereich der Seiten 4, 4' sind die doppelten Lagen zusammengewirkt, so dass eine Schlauchform entsteht. Auch im Schrittbereich 5 sind die doppelten Lagen zusammengewirkt, so dass sich zwischen der Schlauchwand 6 und dem Schrittbereich 5 Beinausschnitte 7, 7' ergeben.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. In this case, the figure shows the view of an above spread Netzhöschens from below. From the figure, the upper edge 1 of Netzhöschens 2 can be seen. In the area of the upper edge 1 elastic threads 3 are acted in the Netzhöschen 2. The net panty 2 is knit two-ply. In the area of pages 4, 4 ', the double layers are combined, so that a tubular shape is formed. Also in the crotch region 5, the double layers are combined, so that between the tube wall 6 and the crotch region 5 leg cutouts 7, 7 'result.

Der Schrittbereich 5 ist in seiner Mitte nicht zusammengewirkt, so dass sich eine Öffnung 8 ergibt. Weiterhin sind in der Schlauchwand 6 gegenüberliegend Öffnungen 9, 9' belassen, die für rektale Untersuchungen geeignet sind.The crotch region 5 is not cooperated in its center, so that an opening 8 results. Furthermore, in the tube wall 6 opposite openings 9, 9 'left, which are suitable for rectal examinations.
