BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
(1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1 shows an example of underwear as an ostomate body wear. In the figure, a closed bag portion B is formed in the right half (the left half facing the front) of the front body of the pants 1. The bag portion B is formed by fastening the cover 2 made of the same material as the fabric of the pants 1 to the pants outer surface 1a of the front body. That is, the cover body 2 is obtained by cutting a cloth into an eggplant shape substantially equal to the outer shape of a pouch of a stoma appliance described later, and one side edge 21 thereof is sewn to the pants outer surface 1a. A continuous fastener 3 is provided between the upper edge 22, the other side edge 23, and the lower edge 24 of the cover body 2 between the outer periphery 1a of the pants and the upper edge 22, the side edge 23, and the lower edge 24. Are connected to the pants outer surface 1 a by the fastener 3.
[0012]
When the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved from the lower edge 24 to the side edge 23 and the upper edge 22, the connection with the pants outer surface 1a is sequentially released in this order, and the lower edge 24, the side edge 23, and the upper edge 22 can be detached from the outer surface 1a. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the opening / closing element 31 is moved to the upper edge end 221 to separate the lower edge 24, the side edge 23, and the upper edge 22 from the pants outer surface 1a, and the cover body 2 is opened.
[0013]
In FIG. 2, a circular opening 12 is provided in the upper half part of the area 11a covered with the cover body 3 in the outer surface 1a of the pants, and the inner diameter of the circular opening 12 is the skin adhesion part (more precisely, a stoma appliance described later). Is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the circular projection. A part of the lower edge of the opening 12 is cut downward, and a connecting cloth piece 4 is provided so as to straddle the cut 13, and one end 41 thereof is sewn to one outer surface 1 a of the pants with the cut 13 as a boundary. The other end 42 is detachably connected to the other pants outer surface 1a by the hook-and-loop fastener 43 with the tear 13 as a boundary.
[0014]
FIG. 3 shows an example of a stoma appliance for urine retention held by the pants 1. The ostomy appliance 5 shown in FIG. 3 is a so-called one-piece type, and includes a substantially eggplant-shaped hermetically sealed bag-like pouch 51 and a circular skin adhesive portion 52 attached to the upper rear wall of the pouch 51. A circular opening 53 is provided at the center of the skin bonding portion 52 and communicates with the inside of the pouch 51. At the center of the lower end of the pouch 51, a discharge tube 54 provided with a stopper 541 is protruded.
[0015]
When using the ostomate pants 1 having such a structure, the cover 2 of the pants 1 is opened in advance (the state shown in FIG. 2), and the other end 42 of the connecting cloth 4 is released from the connection by the hook-and-loop fastener 43. To separate from the pants outer surface 1a. The pants 1 are pierced with the skin adhesive portion 52 of the stoma device 5 adhered to the stoma of the body, and the pouch 51 is pulled out of the pants 1 through the opening 12. At this time, the opening 12 is largely opened by the tear 13 so that the pouch 51 can be quickly pulled out.
[0016]
After the pouch 51 is pulled out, the other end 42 of the connecting cloth piece 4 is connected to the outer surface 1a of the pants to restrict the tear 13 from being opened. Since the inner diameter of the opening 12 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the skin adhesive portion (more precisely, the circular protrusion) 52, almost no gap is formed on the outer periphery of the skin adhesive portion 52 located in the opening 12. The fabric of the pants 1 touches. As a result, the body is directly in contact only with the skin bonding portion 52 to which the skin protective agent is applied and the pants material, and the pouch 51 does not touch, so that the skin of the body is not irritated.
[0017]
Thereafter, the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved from the upper edge 22 of the cover body 2 to the end 241 of the lower edge 24 via the side edge 23, and the cover body 2 is fixed to the outer surface 1a of the pants to close the pants. (FIG. 1). In this process, the pouch 51 is accommodated in the bag B formed by the closed cover body 2 having substantially the same shape as the pouch 51 and is shielded from the outside. As described above, the pouch 51 is not exposed to the outside of the pants 1, so that the appearance is good.
[0018]
When discharging the urine accumulated in the pouch 51, the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved within an appropriate range by the lower edge 24 of the cover body 2 so that only the necessary portion of the lower edge 24 of the cover body is moved to the pants outer surface 1a. Then, the discharge tube 54 of the pouch 51 is pulled out, and the stopper 541 (FIG. 3) is pulled out to discharge urine. In this manner, urine can be easily discharged without pulling out the entire pouch 51. When the discharge tube 54 of the pouch 51 is connected to the hose (not shown) of the urine storage bag for sleeping at the time of going to bed, the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved within an appropriate range by the lower edge 24 of the cover body 2 to cover the body. Only the required portion of the lower edge 24 is detached from the pants outer surface 1a and opened, and the discharge tube 54 of the pouch 51 is pulled out from here, the stopper plug 541 is pulled out, and the hose can be easily connected to the hose of the urine storage bag.
[0019]
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the bag portion B is formed in the right half of the front body of the pants 1 has been described. However, the bag portion B is formed in the left half of the front body or formed in the left and right half of the front body. Is also good. When the cloth of the pants 1 is stretchable, the opening 12 can be pushed and expanded relatively easily, so that the tear 13 does not need to be particularly formed. Instead of the fastener 3, a hook-and-loop fastener or a button may be used.
[0020]
(2nd Embodiment)
In the ostomate pants 1 shown in FIG. 4, the upper edge 22 of the cover body 2 covering the circular opening 12 is sewn to the pants outer surface 1, and both side edges 21, 23 and the lower edge 24 are connected to the outside of the pants by the continuous fastener 3. It is connected to the surface 1a. The inner diameter of the circular opening 12 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the skin bonding portion (more precisely, the circular protrusion) 52 of the ostomy appliance 5.
[0021]
When the ostomate pants 1 having such a structure are used, the pants 1 are pierced with the skin adhesive portion 52 of the ostomy appliance 5 (FIG. 3) adhered to the stoma of the body, and the pouch is opened from the opening 12 to the outside of the pants 1. Pull out 51. At this time, the opening 12 is made slightly larger than the skin bonding portion 52, and the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved from one side edge 21 to the other side edge 23 via the lower edge 24, as shown in FIG. As shown, the cover 2 can be opened largely upward with the upper edge 22 as a boundary, so that the pouch 51 can be quickly pulled out. After the pouch 51 is pulled out, the opening / closing member 31 of the fastener 3 is moved from the side edge 23 of the cover body 2 to the side edge 21 via the lower edge 24, and the cover body 2 is fastened to the pants outer surface 1a in a closed state.
