2. Description of the Related Art Generally, after death of a human, muscles in various parts of the body cavity are often relaxed and filth in the body cavity is often leaked. Especially in the anus, the internal muscles are often relaxed and the anus is opened, so that the internal waste often leaks. In response to this, a huge amount of absorbent cotton is conventionally used before post-mortem rigidity occurs.
I try to fill the body cavity, especially the anus.

Most of this work is performed by the hands of nurses and the like, and there is a possibility that post-mortem infection will be caused by this leaked substance during work while the work is complicated and unsanitary. It has been demanded. However, up to now, there has been no countermeasure against it except the above-mentioned conventional example. Also, in the body cavity of the lower half of the body of a woman such as the vagina, peripheral muscles are relaxed as in the case of the anus described above, and it is difficult to take countermeasures like the anus.

In addition, with the aging of society, relaxation of muscles around various body cavities, especially the body cavities of the lower body such as the anus and female vagina,
Leakage of rectal filth due to dementia has become a problem, and "diapers" are often adopted. In this case, the "diaper" does not always completely prevent the leakage of the sewage, and the contamination by the leakage occurs. Also, it is unavoidable to come into contact with dirt during cleaning work when changing diapers. In the case of carriers due to these factors, there is a possibility of infecting others.

[0005]

Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems and solves various problems in the body cavity due to death or dementia.
In particular, prevent leakage of substances in the body cavity due to relaxation of muscles around the body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and female vagina, and simplify the work of employees or nurses engaged in work to prevent this leakage. , To provide a hygienic body cavity sealing device capable of preventing infections caused by leakage of internal substances to nurses and others. In particular, by preventing the leakage of rectal filth caused by the relaxation of the anal muscles after death or due to dementia, the work of the employees or nurses involved in this leakage prevention work is simplified, and The aim is to develop a hygienic rectal plug that can prevent infection due to leakage of internal body substances.
A first object of the present invention is to insert a body cavity sealing member into a body cavity of a human body, particularly a body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and vagina of a woman, and prevent leakage thereof. In other words, rectal waste may leak from the anus due to anal relaxation or poor bowel function,
Prevent the infection of surrounding people due to such leakage of substances in the body. A second object of the present invention is to improve the adhesion to the inner wall of the body cavity by absorbing water and swelling in the diameter direction after the body cavity sealing device is inserted into the body cavity.

[0006]

The invention according to claim 1 is
The body cavity sealing device comprises a tubular molded body made of highly water-absorbent porous fiber, a water-soluble sealant coated on the outer periphery of the tubular molded body, and a lubricant coated on the water-soluble sealant. It is characterized by a structure consisting of layers. In this configuration, since the water-soluble sealing material is interposed between the lubricant and the tubular molded body, it is possible to prevent the lubricant from penetrating into the tubular molded body. Moreover,
Since there is a lubricant layer on the surface, it can be easily inserted into the body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and female vagina. Further, when inserted, the water-soluble sealing material is rapidly melted when it comes into contact with body fluid, and the tubular molded body quickly comes into contact with body fluid and swells in the diameter direction, so that the body fluid can be prevented from leaking from the body cavity. .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the body cavity sealing device has a two-layered porous structure having an inner layer, which is a core material made of acrylic fiber, and a superabsorbent outer layer formed so as to surround the inner layer. The present invention is characterized by a tubular molded body made of a fibrous body, a water-soluble sheet coated on the outer periphery of the tubular molded body, and a lubricant layer coated on the water-soluble sheet. In this configuration, since the water-soluble sheet is interposed between the lubricant and the tubular molded body, it is possible to prevent the lubricant from penetrating into the tubular molded body, and further there is a lubricant layer on the surface, It is easy to insert into the body cavity of the lower body of the anus, vagina of female, etc.
Since the tubular molded body swells in the diametrical direction quickly, it is possible to prevent body fluid from leaking from the body cavity. In particular, the core material made of acrylic fiber can maintain the fiber physical properties, and the superabsorbent outer layer absorbs body fluid and swells, so that the cylindrical molded body can maintain the insertion position in the body cavity and firmly adhere to the body cavity. It has an excellent function to prevent leakage of body fluid.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the body cavity sealing device according to the first or second aspect, the distal end of the cylindrical molded body is tapered, and at least the tapered portion is covered with a water-soluble sheet, and the water-soluble sheet thereof is used. Since the lubricant sheet is coated on the sex sheet, it can be smoothly inserted into the body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and vagina of a woman with a light force and is excellent in workability.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the body cavity sealing device according to any of the first to third aspects, the cylindrical molded body has a length of about 20 to about 80 mm and a diameter of about 10 to 10. Since it is approximately 25 mm, it is a suitable size when it is used for the body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and female vagina.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the body cavity sealing device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the cylindrical molded body quickly absorbs water and swells when it comes into contact with body fluid, and has a diameter of about 5 mm. Since it is more than doubled, it is possible to reliably prevent the body fluid from leaking from the body cavity.

According to the sixth aspect of the invention, the water-soluble sheet has a thickness of about 200 μm or less and is a sheet which is quickly melted when it comes into contact with body fluid. Therefore, the lubricant penetrates into the tubular molded body before being inserted into the body cavity. When the sheet is inserted into a body cavity, the sheet is immediately melted and the body fluid can immediately contact the tubular molded body, and the tubular molded body is swollen quickly.

According to the invention of claim 7, since the lubricant is applied on the water-soluble sheet, the lubricant can be coated easily and at low cost.

The super absorbent fiber used in the present invention includes:
It is preferable that the outer layer is a hydrophilic cross-linked polymer and the inner layer is made of an acrylonitro-based polymer and / or another polymer.
Those having a water swelling degree of up to 200 cc / g are preferable.
In particular, when the super absorbent fiber contains a carboxyl group, it has an adsorptivity for ammonia and thus absorbs odors and the like. The content of carboxyl group is 0.5 to 4.0 mmol /
g is preferred. Particularly, as the fiber tubular molded article, an inner layer which is a core formed of acrylic fiber, and an outer layer which is disposed so as to surround the inner layer and is processed to be swollen after absorbing water with high water absorption A water-swellable fiber having a double structure (trade name: Lanseal F, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) having and is preferable.

As the water-soluble sheet, the periphery of the cylindrical molded body can be coated, and the lubricant can be coated on the sheet, and the lubricant can be prevented from penetrating into the cylindrical molded body and contact with body fluid. Then, if it dissolves quickly, it can be used. For example, a water-soluble sheet made by Mitsubishi Paper Mills, product numbers 30MDP, 60MDP, 120MDP, etc. can be used.

As the lubricant, the body cavity sealing device of the present invention, that is, the superabsorbent fiber molded body, can be smoothly inserted into the body cavity of the human body, especially the body cavity of the lower body such as the anus and vagina of a woman. It covers the surface of the body and uses glycerin or the like.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an external view of the body cavity sealing device of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged view of FIG. Body cavity sealing device 1
Is provided with a columnar superabsorbent fiber molded body 2 and a water-soluble sheet 3 as a water-soluble sealing material coated thereon, and a lubricant 4 is further coated thereon. As a material of the superabsorbent fiber molded body 2, an inner layer serving as a core made of acrylic fiber, and a superabsorbent material disposed so as to surround the inner layer and processed so as to swell after absorbing water. A double-structured water-swellable fiber having an outer layer (trade name: Lanseal F, manufactured by Toyobo) was used. This superabsorbent fiber molding 2 has a diameter of about 20 mm and a length of about 60 m for rectal use.
m shape, for vagina diameter of about 20 mm, length of about 5
A 0 mm-shaped product is prepared, and the tip of both is tapered.

The water-soluble sealant may be a water-soluble sealant applied / sprayed. However, in this example, the water-soluble sheet 3 was used because it can be coated easily and uniformly. In particular, the water-soluble sheet 3 is preferable because it can prevent the lubricant from penetrating the fibrous molded body 2 even if it is thin, and can be quickly dissolved in the body fluid before the body fluid leaks. As the water-soluble sheet 3, a product number 60 made by Mitsubishi Paper Mills
I used the one from MDP. This sheet 3 was wrapped around the outer periphery of the superabsorbent fiber molding 2. Then, glycerin was applied to the outer surface of the water-soluble sheet 3 to form the lubricant layer 4. This glycerin was applied immediately before use.

The body cavity sealing device 1 thus prepared was inserted into the body cavity of the corpse, especially in the vagina of the anus / female. At that time, due to the fact that glycerin was applied to the surface and the taper was formed, it was possible to insert it to a position where it could not be pulled out with a light force. Then, as a result of examining the body cavity after 10 hours, there was no leakage of body fluid.

Regarding the size of the body cavity sealing device 1, when it is inserted into the body cavity of the lower half of the body such as the anus and vagina of a woman, the smaller the diameter, the easier the insertion. There is a problem that it takes time until it becomes. Conversely, if it is too large, it is difficult to insert it into the body cavity. Therefore, it is preferable that the diameter is approximately 10 to approximately 25 mm.
Also, the shorter the length, the easier the insertion, but if the length is too short, the volume when swollen is insufficient and the sealing function is poor, so the length is about 20.
It is preferable to be about 80 mm.

The superabsorbent fiber molding 2 has a diameter of about 5 times or more, preferably about 10 times or more and does not swell in the axial direction, but can quickly seal the body cavity before body fluid leaks. Therefore, it is preferable. In particular, the material of the molded body 2 has an inner layer which is a core material made of acrylic fiber and a highly water-absorbing outer layer which is formed so as to surround the core layer 2
The layered porous fibrous body holds the physical properties of the fiber with the core material,
In addition, the outer layer is suitable because it absorbs body fluid and swells rapidly about 5 times or more in the radial direction.

The water-soluble sheet 3 is preferably as thin as possible if the lubricant 4 can be prevented from penetrating into the fiber molded body 2 and the surface of the fiber molded body 2 can be covered, but practically the thickness is about 200 μm. The following is preferable.

The lubricant 4 such as glycerin may be applied to the water-soluble sheet 3 immediately before use, or may be applied in advance. If it is applied in advance, cover it with a cover sheet, and remove the cover just before use.

The reason why the tip of the fiber molded body 2 is tapered is to facilitate insertion of the body cavity sealing device 1 into the body cavity, and the tapered shape is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, an inclined surface may be formed from only one side. Further, it may not be formed in a conical shape, but may be formed with inclined surfaces such as two surfaces, three surfaces, and four surfaces. Further, the tip may be formed to have an elliptical cross section. When the inclined surface is formed, a little flat surface may remain on the surface of the tip facing the body cavity. Further, a thin rod body may be left at the tip portion where the inclined surface is formed. The inclination angle of the inclined surface may be one step, or may be formed in multiple steps by changing the inclination angle.

The body cavity sealing device 1 is provided with items necessary for body treatment, such as gloves, gauze, absorbent cotton, disinfectant,
It may be prepared as a kit together with a deodorant, a diaper, and another body cavity sealing device. This is preferable because the body processing work can be performed smoothly.
