Description

  The present invention relates to a nosocomial infection prevention cover for a wheelchair for enabling movement without worrying about nosocomial infection when moving in a hospital.

  Conventionally, there are many opportunities to move in hospitals, such as moving from a hospital room to an examination room, moving to a counter for accounting, and moving to a waiting room for chatting with visitors. Then, during these movements, there was a risk of so-called nosocomial infections that resulted in illnesses such as colds due to contact with other patients and outpatients.

Conventionally, it has been customary to wear preventive clothing as a means for preventing such infection (see, for example, the first patent document).
However, when moving while receiving an infusion, it must move with an infusion stand (see, for example, the second patent document), and there is also an infusion tube connected to the infusion stand. It was inevitably difficult to take off and put on clothes.

  When the arm portion is exposed and the drip tube is inserted into the arm, the preventive garment cannot be worn as described above. It was assumed that there was a relatively high probability. Furthermore, the fact that the patient is receiving an intravenous drip is often caused by a decrease in physical strength. Therefore, the resistance to pathogenic bacteria is weak, and the risk of nosocomial infection is further increased.
