Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a defecation assisting method and a defecation pad for bedridden ill persons, elderly persons and other persons requiring care.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Originally, bedridden sick people, elderly people, and other persons requiring nursing care who are unable to go to the toilet themselves use disposable diapers that can be disposed of or molded cloth diapers that can be reused by washing.

Since this diaper is flat, the stools of the care recipient spread throughout the diaper and adhered extensively to the buttocks of the care recipient.

Since the disposable diaper is for adults, it is very large and expensive.

Nothing is interposed between the diaper and the buttocks of the care recipient.

[0006]

Conventionally, when changing a diaper, a person requiring care needs to be moved and changed, which requires a great deal of labor, which is a great burden on the caregiver. Was there.

At the time of defecation, it is necessary to promptly change the diaper in order to prevent the unpleasant odor from being given to the surroundings. However, when there is no caregiver or when the caregiver is taking a nap, it is necessary to change the diaper. I can not do it, not only the surroundings,
It also caused discomfort to the care recipient.

[0008] Further, since nothing is interposed between the buttocks and the diaper of the care recipient, the stool adheres to the buttocks of the care recipient in a wide range and the stool is wiped off. The processing such as was very troublesome.

Further, the buttocks and the diaper are in close contact with each other over a wide range,
The buttocks were stuffy, and inflammation such as a rash was easily caused.

Since changing the diaper at the time of defecation is indispensable for nursing care, the amount of use (cost) increases in the case of a paper diaper, and the number of times of washing increases in the case of a molded diaper, and the cost and labor for nursing care increase. Was a factor that increased.

In view of this situation, it has been strongly demanded to drastically reduce the labor of caregivers such as bedridden sick people and the elderly who need care during defecation and to eliminate the discomfort of the care recipient.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned demands and makes it extremely easy to assist a person requiring nursing care such as a bedridden patient and an elderly person when defecation is required, and can eliminate the discomfort of the person requiring nursing care. And to provide a defecation pad.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the inner peripheral surface is a smooth surface, and the outer peripheral surface of a substantially cylindrical core member having a large diameter from the upper part to the lower part is extended downward and After sandwiching the upper part of the core material of the defecation pad wound with a hygroscopic body with a large diameter toward the crotch so that the anus of a care recipient such as a bedridden patient or an elderly person may enter By attaching a diaper to a person requiring care, the defecation pad can hold the stool during defecation, only the defecation pad can be replaced, and the feces and urine can be treated separately, or a core material and The inside of the hygroscopic body is divided into two parts in the vertical direction by a partition wall, the passages for urine and feces are formed separately, and the one that is treated more cleanly, or the entire outer peripheral surface of the core material and the hygroscopic body is Cover it, extend it below the absorbent, put on cloth, and urinate. Urine is used to disperse and absorb moisture in the entire fabric by utilizing the capillary phenomenon of fibers to absorb moisture in a wide range of the diaper by reducing the water content of urine, or to form a defecation pad insertion space in the center, A buttock support material corresponding to the buttock is attached between the buttock and the diaper of the care recipient to prevent stuffiness of the buttock and eliminate discomfort of the care recipient, or the buttock. In the space for inserting the defecation pad of the support material, a drawer that has a small diaper body placed in place of the diaper can be inserted and removed freely, and the drawer can be removed from the space for inserting the defecation pad to simplify the replacement of the small diaper body. It is characterized by doing.

[0014]

1 shows a defecation pad according to the present invention.
And based on Drawing 2, it explains in full detail below.

The inner peripheral surface is a smooth surface 12, and a substantially cylindrical core 14 having a large diameter from the upper part to the lower part is provided.

In this example, the core material 14 is a material having elasticity such that it is not crushed when it is clamped between the crotch of a care recipient.
For example, a plurality of cylindrical cores, such as roll paper made of pulp, are stacked, the upper end is made thinner, and the lower end is made thicker. It is easy to fit along the buttocks and crotch.

The use of the core material 14 as an elastic material prevents the attached defecation pad from coming off from the buttocks and crotch,
This is to expand the buttocks around the anus and make it easier for the care recipient to defecate.

The smooth surface 12 is formed by the surface of a tape or oil paper stuck to the inner peripheral surface.

The reason why the inner peripheral surface of the core material 14 is the smooth surface 12 is to guide the stools of the care recipient during defecation to the hygroscopic body 16 side described later.

The reason why the core material 14 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a large diameter from the upper part to the lower part is to facilitate guiding the stool of the care-requiring person to the hygroscopic body 16 side.

A hygroscopic body 16 is wound so as to extend further downward from the upper peripheral edge of the core material 14 to the outer peripheral surface and to have a large diameter downward.

In this example, the hygroscopic body 16 is equivalent to a sanitary napkin or panty liner made of a hygroscopic material having elasticity, and the flat hygroscopic material is used as the outer peripheral edge of the upper portion of the core material 14. The outer peripheral edge of the upper portion of the core material 14 is covered by being wound from the outer peripheral surface to the outer peripheral surface, and the lower portion has a large diameter.

By imparting elasticity to the hygroscopic body 16, it is possible to improve the retention of the excreted feces and buffer the load applied to the anus of the care recipient.

The hygroscopic body 16 not only absorbs the moisture of the excreted feces, but also absorbs part of the moisture of the excreted urine.

The entire outer peripheral surfaces of the core material 14 and the moisture absorber 16 are covered, and further extended below the moisture absorber 16, the cloth 1
I have 8 attached.

In this example, the fabric 18 is formed of cotton yarn, synthetic fiber, or other fiber material.

With this fabric 18, the urine excreted at the same time as defecation or the urine at the time of urination is dispersed throughout the fabric 18 by utilizing the capillary action of the fibers and permeates the diaper side.
It has the effect of absorbing the moisture of urine in a wide range of diapers.

In the figure, A is a bedridden patient, an elderly person or other person requiring care, and B is a large diaper for adults.

A method for assisting defecation of bedridden sick people, elderly people and other persons requiring care using the defecation pad according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, when the care recipient A defecates, the attached paper or cloth diaper B is opened.

Next, the upper opening of the core material 14 of the defecation pad is clamped between the groins so that the anus of the person A requiring care enters.

At this time, by interposing a small diaper body 28 described later on the diaper B, the use time of the large diaper B can be further extended.

Further, since the core material 14 is formed of an elastic material, the attached defecation pad is prevented from coming off from the buttocks and crotch, and the buttocks around the anus are expanded to facilitate defecation for the care recipient. be able to.

Further, since the upper peripheral edge of the core material 14 is formed in an arc shape, it is easy to fit along the buttocks and crotch, and the upper outer peripheral edge of the core material 14 is covered with the moisture absorber 16, so that the feeling of wearing is good. Can be improved, and discomfort to the care recipient A can be eliminated.

When the defecation pad is clamped between the crotch of the care-requiring person A, the defecation pad is inclined downward toward the thigh side of the care-requiring person A so that the diaper can be easily attached. In addition, the person A requiring care does not feel uncomfortable.

Next, the diaper B is attached.

At this time, since the defecation pad is clamped between the crotch of the care-requiring person A, it does not cause any trouble when the diaper is attached, and can be carried out very easily as in the case of attaching only a normal diaper. .

Therefore, a space is formed by the defecation pad between the diaper B and the buttocks of the care recipient A, so that the stools of the care recipient A at the time of defecation adhere to the anus and buttocks of the care recipient A. The inner surface of the core material 14 is smoothly guided to the hygroscopic body 16 side due to the large diameter toward the lower surface of the core material 14 and the extra moisture of the feces is absorbed by the hygroscopic body 16. Are held inside the moisture absorber 16.

The caregiver takes out the stool held in the moisture absorbent body 16 together with the defecation pad by absorbing the excess water.
It is only necessary to attach the diaper that is in use again, without moving the body of the person requiring care as when changing the diaper and eliminating the conventional work of wiping the buttocks of the person requiring care, which makes defecation extremely easy. Not only can assistance be provided, but the number of diaper replacements can be drastically reduced, resulting in drastic cost reductions.

At this time, since excess moisture of stool is absorbed by the hygroscopic body 16, the defecation pad can be directly carried to the toilet,
Only the stool needs to be flushed into the toilet bowl, and it can be processed very easily.

Furthermore, in order to disperse and absorb the urine excreted at the same time as the defecation by the cloth 18 throughout the cloth 18 by utilizing the capillary action of the fibers, the water content of the urine is reduced and the diaper B is absorbed in a wide range. The diaper B can be used for a longer period of time, and the number of exchanges can be drastically reduced.

Another example of the defecation pad of the present invention is shown in FIG.

In the defecation pad of this example, the inside of the core material 14 and the absorbent body 16 of the defecation pad of the previous example is vertically divided into two parts by the partition wall 20 to form the passages 22 for urine and feces individually. It is especially effective when the caregiver is female.

The material of the partition wall 20 may be the same pulp or the like as the core material 14, or the same hygroscopic material as the hygroscopic body 16, and the material is not particularly limited.

The method of use of this example is that the core material 14 of the defecation pad is used.
And the partition wall 20 of the hygroscopic body 16 allows passage of urine and feces
Since each of them is individually formed, the anus of the care-requiring person is inserted into one passage 22 of the upper opening of the core material 14, and the female genitalia of the care-requiring person is inserted into the other passage 22 so as to be sandwiched between the groins. Everything is the same as the previous example except that it is performed.

According to the defecation pad of this embodiment, one of the passages 22 formed by the partition wall 20 of the core material 14 and the hygroscopic body 16 is used for defecation, so that it can be treated more cleanly.

4 and 5 show another example of the defecation assistance method according to the present invention.

In this example, in addition to the defecation pad, a defecation pad insertion space 24 is formed in the center, and the buttocks support member 26 corresponding to the buttocks and the defecation pad insertion space 2 of the buttocks support member 26 are formed.
The pull-out member 30 on which the small diaper body 28 is placed is used instead of the large diaper B which is detachably arranged in FIG.

In this example, the buttocks support member 26 has ears formed on the outer peripheral surface of the substantially U-shaped body, and the defecation pad insertion space 2 is formed.
4 is formed so as to increase toward the open side, and the upper portion is covered with a cushion material 32 made of a material such as foamed resin or foamed rubber.

In order to assist the care-requiring person with defecation using the buttock support material 26 of this example, the buttock support material 26 is laid under the buttocks without using a large diaper, and the defecation pad is sandwiched between the groins. Put it on and do it.

At this time, a cover such as a bath towel and a diaper cover is wrapped around the buttocks support member 26 in order to prevent the buttocks of the care recipient from slipping from the buttocks support body 26 and to prevent exposure to the outside. Is desirable.

The defecation pad is replaced in the same manner as in the previous example.

Further, the replacement of the small diaper body 28 is carried out by inserting the defecation pad insertion space 2 of the buttocks support member 26 together with the pullout member 30.
4 and replaces it with a new small diaper body 28, and inserts this drawer member 30 again to replace it.

Therefore, the use of expensive adult disposable diapers is eliminated, and the defecation process, the replacement of the small diaper body 28, and the attachment to the care recipient are extremely simple, and the body of the care recipient is moved. Without this, defecation assistance can be performed very easily, and the cost can be drastically reduced.

In addition to this, since the buttock support member 26 forcibly forms a space between the buttock of the care recipient and the small diaper body 28, stool may adhere to the buttock of the care recipient. In addition, the effect of preventing stuffiness of the buttocks, causing irritation such as a rash, and eliminating discomfort of the care recipient.

Incidentally, C in FIG. 5 shows a cover.

Further, the small diaper body 28 and the drawer member 30 of the example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are omitted, and the adult diaper B is laid under the buttocks of the care-requiring person A, and between the buttocks and the diaper B. Even if the defecation pad is sandwiched between the groins with the buttock support 26 interposed, and the diaper B is attached and used, the number of diaper replacements is drastically reduced, the caregiver's burden of care is drastically reduced, and the stool of the care recipient is The effects peculiar to the present application such as simplification of processing and elimination of discomfort for care recipients are achieved.

Further, in all the examples, the core material 1 of the defecation pad
4. The moisture absorber 16 is covered with the cloth 18, but the cloth 18 may be omitted.

Further, although the shape of the upper peripheral edge of the core material 14 is an arc shape, it may be an inclined or horizontal straight line shape, and the shape is not particularly limited.

The smooth surface 12 on the inner peripheral surface of the core material 14 uses the surface of tape or oil paper, but a coating material or the like may be applied, and other slippery surfaces cannot be processed. Be free.

Although the core material 14 and the moisture absorber 16 are separate bodies, it is obvious that they are integrally molded.

Further, the materials of the respective constituent members such as the core material 14, the hygroscopic body 16, the buttocks support material 26, etc. are not limited to this example.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the small diaper body 28 is interposed between the diaper B and the defecation pad. However, even if the small diaper body 28 is omitted, the processing for defecation is simplified. Is self-evident.

Further, when using the drawer member 30 on which the buttocks support member 26 and the small diaper body 28 are placed, it is not necessary to move the body of the care recipient, but the defecation pad and the small diaper body 28 are replaced. At times, it is obvious to move the body of the care recipient as appropriate.

The defecation pad according to the present invention is not limited to bedridden sick people and the elderly, but can be shaped by the shape of each component when it is used by people who have difficulty walking or using urine, such as portable toilets and potty pots. It is also possible to change and use.

[0066]

According to the defecation assisting method and defecation pad of the present invention, the inner peripheral surface is made to be a smooth surface, and the outer peripheral surface of the core material having a larger diameter toward the lower part is extended downward and The upper part of the core material of the defecation pad, which is wound with a hygroscopic material so that it has a large diameter, is clamped in the crotch so that the anus of the care-requiring person, such as a bedridden patient or the elderly, may enter, and then the diaper. By attaching to the person requiring care, there is no hindrance when attaching the diaper, and it can be carried out very simply as in the case of attaching only a normal diaper.

Further, the stool during defecation by a person requiring care does not adhere to the anus and buttocks of the person requiring care, and it absorbs moisture due to the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the core material having a large diameter toward the smooth surface and the lower part. The body is smoothly guided to the body, and the moisture absorbent absorbs excess moisture in the stool, and the stool is retained in the moisture absorbent portion.Therefore, the caregiver absorbs this excess moisture and removes the stool retained in the peripheral portion of the moisture absorbent body. Not only can you take out the defecation pad and move the body of the person requiring care as you would when changing diapers, but you can very easily perform defecation assistance, and the number of diaper replacements can be drastically reduced, which in turn reduces the cost of assistance. be able to.

Further, since excess moisture of stool is absorbed by the hygroscopic body, it is sufficient to carry the stool to the toilet as it is and pour only the stool into the toilet bowl, and the treatment can be performed very easily.

Further, by dividing the inside of the core material and the hygroscopic body in two in the vertical direction by the partition wall and separately forming the passages for urine and feces, it is effective when the care recipient is a female, To use, the anus of the person requiring care should be sandwiched between the crotch so that the anus of the person requiring care enters the passage in the upper opening of the core material and the female genitalia of the person requiring care enters the other path. Since one of the passages by the partition of the body is used for defecation, it can be treated more cleanly.

Further, by covering the core material and the hygroscopic body, further extending below the hygroscopic body, and attaching a cloth, the urine excreted at the same time as defecation or the urine at the time of urination is removed by the fiber capillaries. The phenomenon is used to disperse and absorb moisture throughout the fabric to reduce the water content of urine to absorb moisture in a wide range of the diaper, so that the use time of the diaper can be extended and the number of exchanges can be drastically reduced.

Further, by forming a defecation pad insertion space in the center and interposing a buttock support member corresponding to the buttock between the buttock and the diaper of the care recipient, the buttock support member allows
Since a space is forcibly formed between the buttocks and diapers of the care recipient, it is possible to prevent stuffiness of the buttocks, prevent irritation such as a rash, and eliminate discomfort of the care recipient. it can.

Further, by disposing the drawer member on which the small diaper is placed in the space for inserting the defecation pad of the buttocks support member,
There is no need to use expensive large adult diapers, the drawer can be taken out from the space for inserting the defecation pad, and the small diaper body can be replaced easily. Defecation assistance can be easily performed.
