Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hose mit zwei Beinöffnungen, die durch einen Hosensteg der Hose voneinander getrennt sind, wobei die Hose zur Minderung oder Beseitigung der Harn-Inkontinenz während des Tragens der Hose durch einen Anwender bestimmt ist.The invention relates to a pair of pants with two leg openings separated by a pant fly, the pants being intended to reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence while the pants are being worn by a user.

Bei vielen Menschen, Männern wie Frauen, lockern sich alters- oder krankheitsbedingt, aufgrund einer Bindegewebsschwäche oder in Folge von Operationen die Muskeln und Bänder im Bereich des Harnwegs und insbesondere im Bereich des Beckenbodens, was sich störend durch einen plötzlichen Harndrang oder auch durch eine mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägte Inkontinenz bemerkbar machen kann (sogenannte Dysfunktion des Beckenbodens).In many people, both men and women, the muscles and ligaments in the area of the urinary tract and especially in the area of the pelvic floor become loose due to age or illness, due to a weakness in the connective tissue or as a result of operations, which is disturbing due to a sudden urge to urinate or also due to more or less pronounced incontinence (so-called pelvic floor dysfunction).

Häufig ist der durch ein regelmäßiges Beckenbodentraining erreichbare Muskelaufbau nicht ausreichend, um eine ausreichende Straffung und Stärkung der gelockerten Muskeln und Bänder im Bereich des Beckenbodens zu erreichen. Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, können Operationen notwendig werden, die eine Restitution des Beckenbodens einschließlich der Muskeln und Bänder in diesem Bereich mit dem Ziel vorsehen, dass dadurch eine Harn-Inkontinenz zumindest gemindert werden kann. Operationen sind jedoch zum einen mit hohen Kosten, und zum anderen mit erheblichen Belastungen und Risiken für den Patienten verbunden.The muscle build-up that can be achieved through regular pelvic floor training is often not sufficient to achieve sufficient tightening and strengthening of the relaxed muscles and ligaments in the area of the pelvic floor. In order to remedy the situation, operations may be necessary to restore the pelvic floor, including the muscles and ligaments in this area, with the aim of at least reducing urinary incontinence. However, operations are associated with high costs on the one hand and considerable stress and risks for the patient on the other.

Aus der WO 2014/044831 A1 ist eine als Stützhöschen ausgebildete Hose der eingangs erwähnten Art vorbekannt, mit der die Beckenbodenmuskulatur eines männlichen oder weiblichen Anwenders derart abgestützt werden soll, dass sich beispielsweise eine Inkontinenz reduzieren oder gar minimieren lässt. Um auf den Dammbereich und den Beckenboden dazu eine anhebende Wirkung auszuüben, ist bei der vorbekannten Hose ein Hebemechanismus vorgesehen, mit dem der Schrittabschnitt gestützt und angehoben werden soll. Dieser Hebemechanismus umfasst mindestens ein Hebeband, das sich zwischen den Taillenbund und dem Schrittabschnitt erstreckt. In einem in WO 2014/044831 A1 näher dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei elastische Hebebänder vorgesehen, von denen ein erstes Hebeband sich diagonal nach außen zwischen dem Schrittabschnitt und dem elastischen Taillenband erstreckt, während sich ein zweites Hebeband diagonal nach außen zwischen dem Schrittabschnitt und dem elastischen Bund erstreckt. Das erste und das zweite Hebeband definieren ein im Wesentlichen V-förmiges Hebesystem am vorderen Teil des Slips, um in Kombination mit dem Bund die Beckenbodenmuskeln des Anwenders mit einer angemessenen Druckkraft nach oben in Richtung Taille zu unterstützen.From the WO 2014/044831 A1 is a pant designed as a support pant of the type mentioned previously, with which the pelvic floor muscles of a male or female user are to be supported in such a way that, for example, incontinence is reduced or even minimized leaves. In order to exert a lifting effect on the perineal area and the pelvic floor, a lifting mechanism is provided in the previously known pants, with which the crotch section is intended to be supported and lifted. This lifting mechanism includes at least one lifting strap that extends between the waistband and the crotch section. in a WO 2014/044831 A1 In the embodiment illustrated in more detail, two lifting straps are provided, of which a first lifting strap extends diagonally outwards between the crotch section and the elastic waistband, while a second lifting strap extends diagonally outwards between the crotch section and the elastic waistband. The first and second lifting straps define a generally V-shaped lifting system at the front of the panty to, in combination with the waistband, support the user's pelvic floor muscles with an appropriate pushing force upwards towards the waist.

Da eine unterhalb der vorbekannten Stützhose getragene Unterhose der Funktion der Stützhose entgegenwirken könnte, ist die vorbekannte Stützhose dazu vorgesehen, direkt auf der Haut getragen zu werden. Um die vorbekannte Stützhose dabei auch mit einer Damenbinde oder ähnlichem verwenden zu können, ist im Dammbereich der Stützhose ein zu öffnender Beutel vorgesehen, in dem die auswechselbare Damenbinde oder auch ein Tuch eingelegt werden kann. Der in die vorbekannte Stützhose integrierte Hebemechanismus sieht daher lediglich eine oder mehrere Kompressionsbahnen vor, welche in die Hose integriert sind und eine Stützkraft nach oben in Richtung zum Hosenbund bewirken. Eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Anwenders im Dammbereich mittels eines Druckkörpers ist demgegenüber nicht vorgesehen. Auch ist die vorbekannte Stützhose nicht als ein unter Verwendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gewebe oder Gestrick ausgebildet, - sondern die Kompressionsbahnen sind demgegenüber in definierten Teilbereichen der Hose vorgesehen und wirksam.Since underpants worn underneath the previously known support pants could counteract the function of the support pants, the previously known support pants are intended to be worn directly on the skin. In order to be able to use the previously known support trousers with a sanitary napkin or the like, an openable pouch is provided in the perineal area of the support trousers, in which the replaceable sanitary napkin or a cloth can be inserted. The lifting mechanism integrated into the previously known support trousers therefore only provides one or more compression panels which are integrated into the trousers and bring about a supporting force upwards in the direction of the waistband. In contrast, there is no provision for pressurizing the user in the perineal area by means of a pressure body. Also, the previously known support pants are not designed as a fabric or knitted fabric made using elastic fibers, but rather the compression tracks are provided and effective in defined partial areas of the pants.

Aus der KR 2010 0004798 U kennt man bereits eine Hose für Fahrradfahrer, mit der sich die über dem Sattel auf den Radfahrer während der Fahrt einwirkenden. Stöße, Erschütterungen und Belastungen auffangen und notfalls gezielt auf die Knochen des Radfahrers übertragen lassen sollen. Die vorbekannte Hose weist dazu eine auf der Hoseninnenseite vorgesehene Einlage aus Silikon auf, die an die Kontur des Sattels angepasst ist und im Bereich der auf dem Sattel lastenden Beckenknochen federelastische Teilbereiche aus Silikon aufweist, welche Stöße mindern und erforderlichenfalls gezielt auf die Beckenknochen übertragen können. Zwar ist die Einlage in der vorbekannten Hose an die Form eines. Fahrradsattels angepasst, - eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Anwenders im weiteren Umfeld der Beckenknochen und insbesondere im weichen Dammbereich ist aber bei der vorbekannten Hose gerade nicht vorgesehen.From the KR 2010 0004798 U you already know pants for cyclists, with which the acting on the cyclist over the saddle while driving. Absorb impacts, vibrations and loads and, if necessary, transfer them to the cyclist's bones. For this purpose, the previously known trousers have an insert made of silicone on the inside of the trousers, which is adapted to the contour of the saddle and has spring-elastic partial areas made of silicone in the area of the pelvic bones bearing on the saddle, which reduce shocks and, if necessary, can transfer them to the pelvic bones in a targeted manner. Although the insert in the previously known trousers is in the form of a Adjusted bicycle saddle - a pressurization of the user in the wider environment of the pelvic bones and especially in the soft perineal area is not provided with the previously known trousers.

Aus der DE 10 2008 034 496 A1 kennt man bereits eine Einlage für eine Fahrradfahrerhose, die eine hochstehende Lüftungsfläche mit niedrigem Reibungskoeffizienten bieten soll. Die vorbekannte Einlage weist dazu verschiedene elastische Schichten auf, zwischen denen Kanäle vorgesehen sind. Um eine Belüftung der Haut des Radfahrers zu erleichtern und um die Reibung an der Haut zu verringern, weist die vorbekannte Einlage Protuberanzen auf, die aus senkrechten, konischen oder zylindrischen, vulkanförmigen Mikrokapseln aus elastomerem Material bestehen. Eine Beeinflussung der Inkontinenz des Anwenders ist mit der vorbekannten Einlage weder angestrebt noch möglich.From the DE 10 2008 034 496 A1 there is already an insert for cyclist pants that is supposed to offer a high ventilation surface with a low coefficient of friction. For this purpose, the previously known insert has various elastic layers between which channels are provided. In order to facilitate aeration of the cyclist's skin and to reduce friction against the skin, the known pad has protuberances consisting of vertical, conical or cylindrical volcanic microcapsules of elastomeric material. Influencing the incontinence of the user is neither intended nor possible with the previously known insert.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, eine Hose der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, mit der sich die Belastungen für den Patienten durch einen plötzlichen Harndrang oder gar durch Harn-Inkontinenz zumindest gemindert oder gar beseitigt werden können.There is therefore the task of creating a pair of pants of the type mentioned, with which the burden on the patient by a sudden urge to urinate or even by Urinary incontinence can at least be reduced or even eliminated.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei der Hose der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, dass die Hose dazu im Bereich des Hosenstegs einen zur Druckbeaufschlagung des Anwenders im Dammbereichbestimmten Druckkörper aufweist, der zumindest in einem Teilbereich nocken- oder etwa halbkugelförmig ausgebildet und aus einem harten, hartelastischen und/oder unnachgiebigen Material hergestellt ist, das die Hose als ein unter Verwendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gewebe oder Gestrick ausgebildet ist, und dass der Druckkörper mit dem Material der Hose unverrückbar verbunden ist.The solution to this problem according to the invention consists in trousers of the type mentioned in particular in that the trousers have a pressure body in the area of the trouser fly for pressurizing the user in the perineal area, which is cam-shaped or approximately hemispherical in design at least in a partial area and consists of a hard, hard-elastic and/or unyielding material is made, the pants are designed as a woven or knitted fabric made using elastic fibers, and that the pressure body is immovably connected to the material of the pants.

Die erfindungsgemäße Hose weist zwei Beinöffnungen auf, die durch einen Hosensteg voneinander getrennt sind, wobei der Hosensteg einen zur Druckbeaufschlagung des Patienten oder Anwenders im Dammbereich bestimmten Druckkörper aufweist. Dieser an der erfindungsgemäßen Hose am Hosensteg vorgesehene Druckkörper drückt auf den Körper des Anwenders im Dammbereich. Um eine möglichst hohe Druckkraft auf den Körper des Anwenders aufbringen zu können, ist der Druckkörper zumindest in einem Teilbereich nocken- oder etwa halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Damit die erzeugte Druckkraft möglichst ungemindert auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders übertragen wird, ist der Druckkörper aus einem harten, hartelastischen und/oder unnachgiebigen Material hergestellt. Durch den auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders mit Hilfe des Druckkörpers ausgeübten Druck werden die in diesem Bereich gelockerten Muskeln oder Bänder angehoben und der Harnweg in diesem Bereich gestrafft. Durch diesen kontinuierlichen Druck wird einer Lockerung der Muskeln und Bänder im Dammbereich entgegengewirkt, wodurch ein plötzlicher Harndrang zumindest reduziert und eine mehr oder weniger starke Harn-Inkontinenz des Patienten vermindert werden kann. Auch der Schließmuskel kann durch die natürliche korrekte Lage wieder suffizient arbeiten. Da die Hose als ein unter Verwendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gewebe: oder Gestrick ausgebildet ist, ist die Hose vergleichsweise atmungsaktiv und bequem tragbar. Da das Gewebe oder Gestrick gleichzeitig elastisch ist, vermag es sich eng an den Körper des Patienten anzulegen und hier einen Halt aufzubauen, der eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Patienten mit Hilfe des Druckkörpers erlaubt. Um stets eine genaue Positionierung des Druckkörpers im gewünschten Bereich des Damms sicherzustellen, ist der Druckkörper mit dem Material der Hose unverrückbar verbunden. Die erfindungsgemäße Hose ist insbesondere in solchen Fällen sinnvoll anwendbar, bei denen ein regelmäßiges Beckenbodentraining nicht stattfindet oder nicht ausreichend ist. Durch die Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Hose lassen sich in geeigneten Fällen auch aufwändige Operationen vermeiden.The trousers according to the invention have two leg openings which are separated from one another by a trouser strap, the trouser strap having a pressure body designed to apply pressure to the patient or user in the perineal area. This pressure body, which is provided on the fly of the pants according to the invention, presses on the user's body in the perineal area. In order to be able to apply as high a compressive force as possible to the body of the user, the compressive body is cam-shaped or approximately hemispherical in shape, at least in a partial area. The pressure body is made of a hard, hard-elastic and/or unyielding material so that the pressure force generated is transmitted to the perineal area of the user with as little reduction as possible. The pressure exerted on the perineal area of the user with the help of the pressure body lifts the muscles or ligaments that are loosened in this area and tightens the urinary tract in this area. This continuous pressure counteracts a loosening of the muscles and ligaments in the perineal area, which at least reduces a sudden urge to urinate and a more or less severe urinary incontinence of the patient can be reduced. The sphincter muscle can also work adequately again thanks to its naturally correct position. Since the pants are constructed as a woven or knitted fabric made using elastic fibers, the pants are comparatively breathable and comfortable to wear. Since the fabric or knitted fabric is elastic at the same time, it is able to fit closely to the patient's body and build up a hold here that allows pressure to be applied to the patient's body with the aid of the pressure body. In order to always ensure precise positioning of the pressure body in the desired area of the perineum, the pressure body is immovably connected to the material of the trousers. The pants according to the invention can be used in particular in those cases where regular pelvic floor training does not take place or is not sufficient. By using the trousers according to the invention, complex operations can also be avoided in suitable cases.

Damit der an der erfindungsgemäßen Hose vorgesehene Druckkörper mit ausreichender Kraft auf den. Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in die Hose ein elastischer und gegebenenfalls auch längenverstellbarer Gürtel eingezogen ist.So that the pressure body provided on the pants according to the invention with sufficient force on the. Perineal area of the user can act, it is advantageous if an elastic and possibly also length-adjustable belt is drawn into the pants.

Zusätzlich oder stattdessen kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn an der Hose ein Hosenträger gehalten ist.In addition or instead, it can be advantageous if suspenders are held on the trousers.

Dabei sieht eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass der Hosenträger vorder- und/oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat. Ein solcher Hosenträger, der vorder- oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat, kann die. auf die Hose einwirkenden Zugkräfte der Traggurte in etwa gleichmäßig verteilen.A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the braces have two carrying straps on the front and/or back. Such a suspender, which has two straps on the front or back, can. Distribute the tensile forces of the carrying straps acting on the pants approximately evenly.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Hose als Unterhose ausgestaltet ist. Insbesondere eine als Unterhose ausgebildete Hose kann mit ihrem Druckkörper unmittelbar auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken.It is particularly advantageous if the pants are designed as underpants. In particular, pants designed as underpants can act directly on the perineal area of the user with their pressure body.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung, die eine unmittelbare Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Anwenders mit Hilfe des Druckkörpers erlaubt, sieht vor, dass der Druckkörper auf der Innenseite der Hose vorgesehen ist.A preferred embodiment according to the invention, which allows the user's body to be directly subjected to pressure by means of the pressure body, provides that the pressure body is provided on the inside of the trousers.

Eine vergleichsweise hohe Druckkraft lässt sich auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders aufbringen, wenn der Druckkörper einen stegförmigen und in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochgezogenen Teilbereich hat. Ein solcher Druckkörper, der auch einen in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochgezogenen Teilbereich hat, wirkt auch mit einer nach oben in Richtung zum Körper des Anwenders gerichteten Kraftkomponente auf den Dammbereich ein.A comparatively high compressive force can be applied to the perineal area of the user if the pressure body has a bar-shaped partial area that is raised in the direction of the back of a pair of trousers. Such a pressure body, which also has a portion raised in the direction of a back of pants, also acts on the perineal area with a force component directed upwards in the direction of the user's body.

pants shown in a side view, which are designed here as men's underpants and have a pressure body in the area of a trouser bar separating the two leg openings of the pants, which is intended for pressurizing the user in the perineal area,
2

In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist eine Hose in zwei Ausführungen 1, 10 dargestellt. Die Hosen 1, 10 weisen zwei Beinöffnungen 2, 3 auf, die durch einen Hosensteg 4 der Hose 1, 10 voneinander getrennt sind. Die Hosen 1, 10 die als lange Hosen mit Hosenbeinen ausgestaltet oder - wie hier - als sogenannte kurze Hosen ohne solche Hosenbeine ausgebildet sein können, sind hier als Unterhosen ausgeführt. Während die in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Hose eine Herren-Unterhose ist, ist demgegenüber die in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellte Hose 10 als Damen-Unterhose ausgestaltet.In the Figures 1 to 4 is a pair of pants in two versions 1, 10 shown. The trousers 1, 10 have two leg openings 2, 3, which are separated from one another by a trouser bar 4 of the trousers 1, 10. The trousers 1, 10, which are designed as long trousers with trouser legs or—as here—can be designed as so-called short trousers without such trouser legs, are designed here as underpants. While the in the figures 1 and 2 pants shown is a men's underpants, in contrast, is in the Figures 3 and 4 pants 10 shown configured as women's underpants.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 4 gezeigten Hosen 1, 10 sind zur Minderung oder Beseitigung der Harn-Inkontinenz während des Tragens der Hose durch einen Anwender bestimmt. Die Hosen 1, 10 weisen dazu im Bereich des Hosenstegs 4 einen zur Druckbeaufschlagung des Anwenders im Dammbereich bestimmten Druckkörper 5 bzw. 6 auf. Dieser am Hosensteg 4 vorgesehene Druckkörper 5, 6 drückt auf den Körper des Anwenders im Dammbereich. Durch diesen Druck werden die in diesem Bereich gelockerten Muskeln oder Bänder des Anwenders angehoben und der Harnweg in diesem Bereich gestrafft. Durch diesen kontinuierlichen Druck wird einer Lockerung der Muskeln und Bänder im Dammbereich des Anwenders entgegengewirkt, wodurch ein plötzlicher Harndrang zumindest reduziert und eine mehr oder weniger starke Inkontinenz des Anwenders vermindert werden kann. Die hier dargestellten Hosen sind insbesondere auch in solchen Fällen sinnvoll anwendbar, bei denen ein regelmäßiges Beckenbodentraining nicht stattfindet oder nicht ausreichend ist. Durch die Anwendung der Hosen 1, 10 lassen sich in geeigneten Fällen auch aufwändige Operationen vermeiden.The in the Figures 1 to 4 Pants 1, 10 shown are intended to reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence while the pants are being worn by a user. For this purpose, the trousers 1, 10 have, in the area of the trouser fly 4, a pressure body 5 or 6 intended to apply pressure to the user in the perineal area. This pressure body 5, 6 provided on the trouser bar 4 presses on the user's body in the perineal area. This pressure lifts the user's loosened muscles or ligaments in that area and tightens the urinary tract in that area. This continuous pressure counteracts a loosening of the muscles and ligaments in the perineal area of the user, as a result of which a sudden urge to urinate can at least be reduced and a more or less severe incontinence on the part of the user can be reduced. The pants shown here are particularly useful in cases where regular pelvic floor training does not take place or is insufficient. By using the pants 1, 10, complex operations can also be avoided in suitable cases.

Damit der vorzugsweise an der Innenseite der Hose 1, 10 unverrückbar gehaltene Druckkörper 5, 6 mit ausreichendem Druck auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders einwirken kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Hosen 1, 10 aus einem gummielastischen oder elastischen Material hergestellt sind. Dabei wird eine Ausführung bevorzugt, bei welcher die Hose 1, 10 als ein unter Verwendung elastischer Fasern hergestelltes Gestrick ausgebildet ist. Ein solches Gestrick ist vergleichsweise atmungsaktiv und bequem tragbar. Da das Gewebe elastisch ist, vermag es sich eng an den Körper des Patienten anzulegen und hier einen Halt aufzubauen, der eine Druckbeaufschlagung des Körpers des Anwenders mittels des Druckkörpers 5, 6 erlaubt.So that the pressure body 5, 6, which is preferably held immovably on the inside of the trousers 1, 10, can exert sufficient pressure on the perineal area of the user, it is advantageous if the trousers 1, 10 are made of a rubber-elastic or elastic material. An embodiment is preferred in which the trousers 1, 10 are designed as a knitted fabric made using elastic fibers. Such a knitted fabric is comparatively breathable and easy to wear. Since the fabric is elastic, it is able to fit closely to the patient's body and build up a hold here that allows the user's body to be pressurized by means of the pressure body 5, 6.

Um eine möglichst feste und sichere Druckbeaufschlagung zu begünstigen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in die Hose 1, 10 ein elastischer und gegebenenfalls auch längenverstellbarer Gürtel eingezogen ist. Zusätzlich oder stattdessen kann an der Hose 1, 10 auch ein hier allerdings nicht weiter gezeigter Hosenträger gehalten sein. Damit dieser Hosenträger die auf die Hose 1, 10 einwirkenden Kräfte gleichmäßig verteilen kann, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Hosenträger vorder- und/oder rückseitig zwei Traggurte hat.In order to favor the strongest and safest possible pressurization, it is advantageous if an elastic and possibly also length-adjustable belt is drawn into the trousers 1, 10. Additionally or instead, a pair of suspenders, which is not shown here, can also be held on the pants 1, 10. So that this suspender can distribute the forces acting on the trousers 1, 10 evenly, it is advantageous if the suspender has two carrying straps on the front and/or back.

Um eine möglichst hohe Druckkraft auf den Körper des Anwenders aufbringen zu können, sind diese Druckkörper 5, 6 zumindest in einem Teilbereich 9 nocken- oder halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Anhand dem in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel 10 ist veranschaulicht, dass der Druckkörper 6 auch einen stegförmigen und in Richtung zu einer Hosenrückseite hochgezogenen Teilbereich 7 aufweisen kann. Da der Druckkörper 6 durch diesen hochgezogenen Teilbereich 7 auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders auch mit einer in Richtung zum Körper des Anwenders gerichteten Kraftkomponente einwirkt, lassen sich besonders hohe Druckkräfte auf den Dammbereich des Anwenders aufbringen. Damit die erzeugte Druckkraft möglichst ungemindert auf den Dammbereich des Patienten übertragen wird, ist der Druckkörper 5, 6 aus einem harten oder unnachgiebigen Material hergestellt. Um eine genaue Positionierung des Druckkörpers 5, 6 im gewünschten Bereich des Damms sicherzustellen, ist dieser Druckkörper 5, 6 mit dem Material der Hose 1, 10 unverrückbar verbunden. Die in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigte Damen-Unterhose ist in ihrem dem Schambereich zugewandten Teilbereich 8 gabelförmig ausgebildet, wobei sich diese gabelförmigen Teilbereiche besonders gut beidseits in den Leisten des Anwenders positionieren können, wo sie nicht weiter stören.In order to be able to apply as high a pressure force as possible to the body of the user, these pressure bodies 5, 6 are designed in the shape of cams or hemispherical at least in a partial area 9. Based on the in the Figures 3 and 4 The exemplary embodiment 10 shown shows that the pressure body 6 can also have a bar-shaped partial region 7 that is raised in the direction of the back of a pair of trousers. Since the pressure body 6 also acts on the perineal area of the user through this raised partial area 7 with a force component directed towards the user's body, particularly high pressure forces can be applied to the perineal area of the user. The pressure body 5, 6 is made of a hard or unyielding material so that the compressive force generated is transmitted to the patient's perineal area with as little reduction as possible. In order to ensure precise positioning of the pressure body 5, 6 in the desired area of the dam, this pressure body 5, 6 is immovably connected to the material of the trousers 1, 10. The in the Figures 3 and 4 The women's underpants shown are 8 in the part facing the pubic area designed in the form of a fork, with these fork-shaped partial areas being able to position themselves particularly well on both sides in the user's groins, where they are no longer a problem.
