BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pouch hanging bag for storing a pouch for an artificial anus or an artificial bladder, and more particularly to a pouch hanging bag which is easy to use and has a good appearance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In patients who have had a rectal or ureteral excision and an artificial anus (stormer) or artificial bladder (hereinafter referred to as a stoma, which is a combination of an artificial anus and an artificial bladder), the intestine or urine in the lower abdomen. Fix the stoma so that it is connected to the tube and glue a resin flange around it, or connect the stoma with a flange to the intestine or ureter to glue the flange to the skin surface, which is called a pouch , The bag for receiving stool and urine is fixed. For this reason, the pouch has an opening that can be attached to and removed from the stoma,
A discharge port such as a drain cock for discharging accumulated feces is provided.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Such a pouch is
Since it is fixed to the human body by the combination of the stoma and the opening, it becomes heavy when the stool accumulates, causing the anxiety that it may fall off or the bag is torn, and the flange is pulled by the weight, It gave pain and discomfort to the area where the stoma was fixed.

On the other hand, the applicant of the present invention has devised a pouch bag which covers the pouch and can be fixed to the waist with a belt. Generally, rubber or belt such as underwear, pants, and skirt is provided around the waist. Since it is located, the waist belt for fixing the bag overlaps with these, causing many problems. Further, since the mounting position of the stoma differs depending on the condition of the patient and the condition of the patient, there is a problem that the waist belt cannot be fixed when the stoma is at the same level as or above the waist.

In addition, when the pouch is stored in a bag, the pouch must be taken out from the bag during the discharging process for discharging feces from the bag, which causes a problem of poor workability. On the other hand, as a pouch cover made of cloth to prevent the pouch from directly touching the skin, there is a drain cock for urination protruding outside the pouch cover.In such a case, the drain cock should be worn as clothes. However, there is a problem that it gives discomfort because the clothes get dirty or hit the skin.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pouch hanging bag which can be securely fixed regardless of the position of the stoma, is excellent in wearing feeling, and can be easily discharged.

[0007]

The pouch hanging bag of the present invention which achieves the above object is an artificial bladder pouch having an opening fixed to the abdomen and a discharge port for discharging the contents accumulated therein. A pouch hanging bag to be housed, comprising a bag part having a shape that covers the remaining part of the pouch except a part including the opening part, and a fixture for fixing the bag part to a human body. The part is characterized in that a slit part is provided on the surface corresponding to the discharge port of the pouch.

According to the pouch hanging bag having such a structure, since the slit portion is provided on one surface constituting the bag portion, the pouch can be stored in the bag while protecting the discharge port of the drain cock or the like. Thus, the discharge process from the discharge port of the pouch can be easily performed through the slit portion.

Further, the pouch hanging bag of the present invention is characterized by including a hanging belt as a fixing tool for fixing the bag to a human body. In the present specification, the hanging belt means a long member for hanging the bag from the shoulder or neck, and means not only a so-called belt but also a string, a chain and the like. According to the pouch hanging bag having such a configuration, in addition to the effect of the slit portion, since the hanging belt such as a shoulder strap is provided as a means for fixing to the human body, the pouch hanging can be stably performed regardless of the mounting position of the stoma. Can support the bag. Therefore, even if the pouch becomes heavy, the patient does not feel anxiety or pain.

Further, in the present invention, it is preferable that the slit portions have overlapping opening portions. That is, it is assumed that the slit portion is formed such that the first slit end portion and the second slit end portion forming the slit portion overlap each other. As a result, even if urine accumulates inside the pouch and the entire bag swells, the drain cock can prevent it from coming into direct contact with the clothes worn on it. Damage can also be prevented.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the pouch hanging bag of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of a pouch hanging bag for urostomy (hereinafter simply referred to as a hanging bag) 10 and a pouch 20 housed therein, as an embodiment of the present invention, and (a) is a hanging bag 10 Is a view seen from the inside (side facing the human body), (b) is a view seen from the back surface, that is, the outside, and (c) is a view showing the pouch 20. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a usage state.

As shown in the figure, the pouch 20 is a flat bag made of a material having a sealing property, and has an opening 21 for connecting to a stoma on the upper side of the body-facing surface and the opposite surface. A drain cock 22 for discharging urine is attached to the lower side of the (illustrated surface). The hanging bag 10 in which such a pouch 20 is placed is made of a hygroscopic cloth such as cotton that can be washed with water, has a flat shape like the pouch 20, and the outer surface 11 can cover the entire pouch 20. As such, it is formed in a size slightly larger than the pouch. The inner surface 12 forming the bag portion together with the outer surface is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the outer surface 11 has a shape in which the upper portion is cut off, which enables connection between the opening 21 of the pouch 20 and the stoma.

In the illustrated embodiment, the ends of the two inner and outer surfaces are sewn together to form a bag portion for accommodating the pouch 20 between these surfaces. Then, suspension belts 13 for hanging the bag portion on the shoulder are fixed at two locations on the upper end where the both surfaces are sewn together. A fixing tool (buckle) 131 for attachment / detachment is attached to the hanging belt 13, and an adjusting mechanism (adjuster) 132 for adjusting the length thereof according to the user is attached.
Although the drawing shows the case where the suspending belt 13 is attached to the upper end of the suture portion, the attaching position of the suspending belt 13 is not limited to that shown in the drawing, and for example, it is attached to the upper end of the outer surface 11. Good.

The outer surface 11 has one cloth piece 111 forming the upper half and two substantially symmetrical cloth pieces 1 forming the lower half.
12 and 113, the lower end of the cloth piece 111 and the upper ends of the cloth pieces 112 and 113 are sewn at approximately the center of the surface 11 to form one surface. At this time, the cloth piece 112 and the cloth piece 113 are sewn together with the cloth piece 111 in a state of being partially overlapped with each other at the center of the lower half portion of the surface 11.
As a result, the slit portion 14 communicating with the inside of the bag is formed between the cloth piece 112 and the cloth piece 113. The cloth pieces 112 and 113
May be sewn to the cloth piece 111 without simply overlapping the ends, that is, even if the urine is collected in the stored pouch 20 by overlapping a part in this manner. It is possible to prevent the drain cock 22 from jumping out of the slit portion 14. Although the degree of overlap (the degree of meeting) is not particularly limited, it is set to about 10 mm in consideration of the ease of handling the drain cock 22 and the like. It is also possible to attach a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap or the like to the overlapping portion so that the slit portion 14 does not open during use.

In the hanging bag 10 having such a structure, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface 11 on which the slit portion 14 is formed is the outer side, and the opposite surface 12 is the inner side (the side in contact with the body). In this way, the pouch 20 fixed to the body is covered from below. If the hanging bag 10 is covered until the lower end of the pouch 20 almost coincides with the lower end of the bag, hang the belt 13 on the shoulder,
If necessary, the length of the belt 13 is adjusted, and the belt 131 is fixed with a fixture 131. How to hang the belt 13 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to hang it on the left shoulder when the fixed position of the stoma is on the right side of the body, and on the right shoulder when the fixed position is on the left side. Depending on the position of the stoma, it may be worn from the neck instead of the shoulder. When the hanging bag 10 is removed, it can be easily removed by removing the fixing member 131 of the belt 13 and lowering the bag below the pouch 20. This allows the hanging bag 10 to be easily attached and detached with the opening 21 of the pouch 20 connected to the stoma.

When the urine collected in the pouch 20 is discharged, the slit portion 14 is opened, the drain cock 21 is connected to a discharge pipe or container, and the cock is opened and discharged. Thereby, the discharging process can be easily performed with the pouch 20 and the hanging bag 10 still attached.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the inner surface 12 of the hanging bag 10 is obtained by horizontally cutting the upper surface of the outer surface, but as shown in FIG. 3, it corresponds to the outlet 21 and the upper part thereof. It is also possible to make only the cutout shape so that the area where the pouch itself touches the skin is reduced as much as possible.

In the above embodiment, the bag in which the outer surface and the inner surface are sewn together is shown. However, a gusset may be formed between the outer surface and the inner surface if necessary. Good. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been made by using the hygroscopic cloth as the material of the hanging bag. However, for example, a waterproof coating may be applied to the inside of the bag, or the material may be subjected to an antibacterial process or a deodorant process, so that the smell It is possible to prevent the occurrence of leaks and leakage.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the slit portion for draining urine is provided on the outer surface of the hanging bag for storing the pouch, so that the drain port can be protected and contact with clothes or the like can be prevented. In addition, the discharging process can be performed by a simple operation with the hanging bag still attached. Further, according to the present invention, by providing a hanging belt for hanging on the hanging bag, the pouch can be stably supported regardless of the position of the stoma, and anxiety caused by a heavy pouch or a drag due to dragging can be prevented. The pleasant sensation can be eliminated. Further, by configuring the abutting ends of the slits to overlap with each other, it is possible to reliably prevent the drain cock for discharge from coming into contact with the clothes, and prevent the clothes from becoming dirty and the drain cock from being damaged.
