Description

  The present invention relates to a bandage wound around an affected area.

  Conventionally, a method of winding a bandage after covering an affected part with gauze or absorbent cotton is used for treating and protecting a wound part. In this way, when wrapping the bandage around the affected area, except when there is a therapist or assistant such as a doctor or nurse, if you try to wrap the bandage alone, for example, when wrapping the bandage around the foot, Although both hands can be used, the bandage can be easily wound. However, especially when the affected area is an arm, the bandage is wound only with one hand, so start winding while fixing the bandage end near the affected area. There is a need and the method is relatively cumbersome. In particular, when a bandage is wound around the dominant arm, the bandage is wound only with one hand that is not the dominant arm, which is further troublesome.

For this reason, one person can easily wrap the bandage, for example, by sticking an adhesive tape that can adhere to the skin to the winding start of the bandage, and then fixing the winding start to the skin with this adhesive tape to allow winding Have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

Stagnation between the strip and part of the bandage body can be suppressed, the appearance of the bandage body at the beginning of winding is improved, and there are no steps due to the stenosis. It can be wound up with good looks and without waste.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the bandage according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 shows a bandage 1, in which a band piece 3 is joined to a winding start end which is one end in a longitudinal direction of a bandage body 2 having a predetermined length.

  The bandage body 2 is woven by crossing stretchable yarns having stretchability or non-stretchable yarns not having stretchability, and has a longitudinal shape. The bandage body 2 is wound in a roll shape when not in use, and one end portion in the longitudinal direction is led out from the roll-shaped bandage body 2 in the use state.

  The strip 3 is formed in an elongated longitudinal shape, and as shown in FIG. 2, both ends in the longitudinal direction are respectively joined to both sides in the width direction of one longitudinal end of the bandage body 2, so that the bandage body 2 An annular portion 4 is formed between one end portion in the longitudinal direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the annular portion 4 is formed by folding and inserting an intermediate portion 2a which is a part of the bandage body 2, and as shown in FIG. 7, a covering member 5 such as gauze or absorbent cotton is used. The affected part insertion ring 6 into which the arm part A as the affected part having the wound part covered with is inserted.

  Here, the peripheral length of the affected part insertion ring 6 is such that the covering member 5 covering the wound part can be passed without shifting without being in close contact with the circumference of the wearer's arm part A. The length of the intermediate part 2a of the bandage body 2 to be passed is adjusted as appropriate.

  In addition, the size of the annular portion 4 is not particularly limited. However, in consideration of forming the affected part insertion ring 6, the annular part 4 is formed to have a size that can be inserted with the bandage body 2 overlapped. Is preferred.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

  First, from the state before use shown in FIG. 3, the intermediate part 2a that is a part of the bandage body 2 is inserted into the annular part 4 while being folded back as shown in FIG. 4, and the affected part is shown in FIGS. An insertion ring 6 is formed.

  Next, the arm part A shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the formed affected part insertion ring 6, and the other part of the roll-shaped bandage body 2 is pulled to reduce the size of the affected part insertion ring 6 to the thickness of the arm part A. After being deformed accordingly, the bandage body 2 is wound. At this time, the bandage body 2 can be wound in a direction in which the bandage wearer can easily wind (front side or the other side).

  In other words, in the conventional bandage, when the bandage is wound around the arm portion, the bandage is wound only with one hand, so it is necessary to start winding while fixing the winding start end of the bandage near the affected area, This is troublesome, and particularly when winding a bandage around the dominant arm, it is more troublesome because the bandage is wound only with one hand that is not the dominant arm, but in the first embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the band 3 Annular shape in which both ends are joined to both widthwise ends of one end of the bandage body 2 in the longitudinal direction, and the intermediate part 2a of the bandage body 2 can be folded back and inserted between the longitudinal ends of the bandage body 2 By forming the part 4, the affected part insertion ring 6 into which the affected part such as the arm part A can be inserted can be formed by the intermediate part 2 a of the bandage body 2 that is folded back and inserted into the annular part 4. 6 to fix the bandage body 2 by inserting the affected part A single wearer can easily wrap around the affected area without temporarily fastening the bandage body 2 to the affected area with an adhesive member or the like, and even when wound around the dominant arm side, the wearer can easily wrap it.

  Moreover, it is not necessary to provide an adhesive member such as a bandage stopper or an adhesive bandage that is attached to the skin and temporarily fastens the winding start end of the bandage body, as in a conventional bandage for one person to wrap around one arm or the like. Therefore, there is no fear of skin allergies due to the constituent materials of the adhesive member, and it can be applied to patients having such allergies and is easy to use, and even if one person, particularly when the affected part is the arm part A Since it is not necessary to wind the bandage 1 while holding the winding start end with one hand, the bandage 1 can be easily wound.

  Further, by adjusting the length of the intermediate part 2a of the bandage body 2 that is folded back to the annular part 4, the peripheral length of the affected part insertion ring 6 in the non-stretched state is not in close contact with the circumference of the wearer's arm part A. Since it can be easily adjusted to the peripheral length, the covering member 5 can be easily passed through the affected part insertion ring 6 with respect to the arm part A of various thicknesses.

  Then, the band piece 3 is joined to one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the bandage body 2 to form the annular portion 4, thereby, for example, one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the bandage body as described in Japanese Patent No. 3160546. The other end of the bandage body in the longitudinal direction is connected to the bandage body by folding one end of the bandage body and joined to the bandage body, and a surface fastener is provided at the other end of the bandage body in the longitudinal direction. Since there is no need to insert the end portion into the annular body, the roll-shaped bandage body 2 can be wound around the affected part without unraveling, so that the workability of winding is improved.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to the said 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the second embodiment, the bandage body 2 is a woven fabric woven by crossing stretchable or non-stretchable yarns, and the strip 3 is a member having less flexibility than the member forming the bandage body 2 Is formed.

  Here, the strip 3 can be various other members such as a woven cloth with a waist or a soft plastic. In addition, when using things other than a woven fabric as the strip 3, it is preferable to wrap it in a woven fabric so as not to impair the visual impression.

  With this configuration, the present embodiment can achieve the same operational effects as the first embodiment.

  When the affected part is inserted into the affected part insertion ring 6 of the bandage 1 and winding of the bandage 1 is started, if the periphery of the affected part inserted ring 6 is in close contact with the body part in the vicinity of the affected part, the bandage body 2 can be easily wound. When the periphery of the affected part insertion ring 6 of the bandage body 2 is brought into close contact with the body, it is necessary to pull the roll-shaped bandage body 2 to reduce the size of the affected part insertion ring 6 according to the affected part. The external force concentrates in the vicinity of the attachment portion of the strip 3 serving as the base end portion of the belt 6, and the strip 3 is narrowed in the longitudinal direction and the bandage body 2 is partially narrowed in the width direction. The narrowed shape tends to be constricted. The constricted shape is not good in appearance and may possibly affect the subsequent winding of the bandage 1.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, by making the flexibility of the strip 3 smaller than the flexibility of the bandage body 2, the strip 3 tries to maintain its shape against the force that the annular portion 4 is constricted. Therefore, even when the bandage body 2 is pulled with the affected part inserted into the affected part insertion ring 6 in order to bring the affected part insertion ring 6 formed on the bandage body 2 into close contact with the body, the band piece 3 remains on the bandage body 2. Since the constriction, that is, the constriction of the annular portion 4 is suppressed, the appearance of the start of the bandage body 2 is improved, and an unnecessary step due to the constriction of the annular portion 4 is not formed. It looks good and can be rolled up cleanly without waste.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to said each embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the third embodiment, the strip 3 is provided with a longitudinal shape maintaining member 8.

  The shape maintaining member 8 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the strip 3, for example, and suppresses the constriction of the annular portion 4 when the roll-shaped bandage body 2 is pulled to reduce the size of the affected part insertion ring 6. It has a hardness and size that do not give the wearer a sense of discomfort or discomfort.

  For example, the shape maintaining member 8 is appropriately selected from soft plastic, hard plastic, or resin-coated metal having flexibility, and is attached to the strip 3 by sewing or bonding with an adhesive. In addition, although these members may be attached to the strip 3 as the shape maintaining member 8, it is preferable to attach the material wrapped in a woven fabric to the strip 3 in order to make the appearance look gentle.

  And in order to make the affected part insertion ring 6 formed in the bandage main body 2 closely_contact | adhere to a body, the shape maintenance member 8 prevents the narrowing of the annular part 4 when the bandage main body 2 is pulled with the affected part inserted into the affected part insertion ring 6. By suppressing this, as in the second embodiment described above, the appearance of the start of the bandage body 2 is improved, and unnecessary steps due to the narrowing of the annular portion 4 are not formed. The bandage 1 looks good and can be rolled up neatly without waste.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to said each embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the fourth embodiment, a low flexibility portion 9 is provided in the vicinity of the band piece 3 of the bandage body 2.

  The low flexibility portion 9 is disposed, for example, along the longitudinal direction of the strip 3, and prevents the annular portion 4 from being constricted when the roll-shaped bandage body 2 is pulled to reduce the size of the affected portion insertion ring 6. In order to suppress, by replacing the part of the bandage body 2 with a woven cloth that is less flexible than the woven cloth constituting the bandage body 2, or by overlapping and stitching the woven cloth with less flexibility, It is formed in the middle part 2a of the bandage body 2.

  And by having comprised in this way, in order to make the affected part insertion ring 6 formed in the bandage main body 2 closely_contact | adhere to a body, the annular part 4 at the time of pulling the bandage main body 2 in the state which inserted the affected part in the affected part insertion ring 6 Since the low flexible portion 9 suppresses the narrowing of the bandage, the appearance of the start of the bandage body 2 is improved and an unnecessary step due to the narrowing of the annular portion 4 is formed as in the above embodiments. Since the bandage 1 is not lost, the bandage 1 can be nicely wound and can be wound up cleanly without waste.

  In each of the above embodiments, the affected part of the bandage 1 is not limited to the arm part A, and it goes without saying that it can also be applied to the leg part.
