Description

System of openings or eyelets "partial" or "totals" for sick lingerie.

Technical sector

The present invention relates to a system of openings or eyelets for sick lingerie (pajamas or nightgown) to facilitate daily cures and drainage and catheters

State of the art

Current state of the art. Lingerie hospital for patients is characterized by NOT being specific being its standard design. This fact makes me not find it adapted to the needs of the patient and staff sanitary.

The majority of hospital patients are catheter carriers for intravenous infusion of fluids, probes for biological fluid outlet and, in the case of a patient surgically operated, drains that facilitate the cleaning of organic cavities All these infusion or drainage systems they have their entrance or exit in the body for established points and concrete that are the most frequent in daily clinical practice, although certain variability may exist in its distribution.

These systems need clinical care diaries that are summarized in the local cutaneous orifice cure. For The health personnel need at least undress the patient and, on other occasions, even tearing the garment, to have access.

From another point of view, the patient when dressing a garment not adapted, you must make folds in the sleeves or leave certain parts unbuttoned to facilitate the exit of catheters, which implies discomforts, tears involuntary systems, and aesthetic inconveniences on par that body intimacy is not respected.

Focusing on patients who have received a surgical intervention, the ordinary treatment of these patients entails a wound care that occupies a large Part of medical assistance. This "local" treatment implies  discomfort when done with clothes not designed for that purpose, what that forces to undress them, being maneuvers that can be dangerous, not being rare the episodes of plucking involuntary infusion systems of sera, drains or catheters

Detailed description of the invention

To remedy the aforementioned problems that presents the current state of the art, the system has been conceived of openings or eyelets for sick lingerie (pajamas or nightgown) for drainage and catheter outlet or to facilitate medical cures, object of the present invention. This way you avoid efforts to health personnel and discomfort to patients and can improve the relationship cost-benefit by avoiding breaking clothes for daily clinical care

In general, the slot system or eyelets is added to the standard design of pajamas or nightgowns Adult or child size, available in the market. We distinguish the "partial" slots of the "totals".

The partial slots are distributed in the most frequent points of exit or entry of catheters. Is it so designed with vertical or horizontal orientation depending on the area where they are located. In order to ensure maximum comfort to patients and healthcare personnel can incorporate a closure system that must be hygienic and resistant to use daily, such as square brackets or buttons.

Total slots are distributed bilaterally along the seam the sleeve, along the side seam and finally, in the seam of the pants. This type of slots we call them "totals" because they occupy the entire part of the garment where they are located, in the site where sewing is usually made, in such a way that incorporating a closing system -vacro, square brackets or buttons-  full exposure of the anatomical area is allowed.

As stated, it is easy to understand that Use of this system of openings derives obvious advantages with respect to conventional designs of sick clothes.

First of all its design adapts to the hospital environment needs facilitating daily care that the wounds, catheters and probes need, accessing easily to the cutaneous site subject to medical cures. His design It is versatile for different medical specialties.

From the patient's point of view, they are avoided maneuvers to allow the exit of the catheters that carry serious inconveniences, such as the case of involuntary removal, Simultaneously it has obvious aesthetic advantages.

Fruit of these facts, the design raised it results in the best quality of care and improves the image that The clinical care the patient owns.

Finally you can improve the relationship cost-benefit of lingerie designs available in the market, avoiding having to tear the clothes to facilitate daily clinical care.

In preliminary studies of the development of technique it has been determined that the incorporation of these slots or eyelets does not entail a considerable increase in the unit price of the garment.

Description of the figures.

In order to facilitate the explanation, accompanies the present memory of figures in which they are represented The development of the technique.

Referring to the figures can be seen in its realization a set of openings on the standard design of Lingerie for hospitalized patients.

In the case of openings or partial eyelets, make on the garment, incorporate a reinforcement of it textile material that circumscribes the groove, which prevents wear due to prolonged use and its finish is possible incorporate a closure method, such as square brackets, buttons or Velcro
