Description

The present invention relates to restraint gloves, and is particularly suitable for use in gloves for restraining the movement of a patient's hand so that the patient cannot freely grasp an object.

Conventionally, in medical and welfare sites such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, patients or care recipients (hereinafter simply referred to as "patients") are connected to the body during infusion, dialysis, nutritional supplementation, excretion, etc. There is a problem of trying to remove the tube or catheter without permission or scratching the itchy part of the skin. Therefore, restraint gloves attached to the patient's hand may be used so that the patient cannot unnecessarily remove the tube or the like or scratch the body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The restraint gloves described in Patent Document 1 are gloves sewn in a bifurcated manner so that they can be separated into a thumb and the remaining four fingers using a highly breathable net material, and are placed on the back side of the four fingers. A grip bar is installed at the position where it comes into contact, and both ends of the grip bar are fixed to gloves. In addition, a string is sewn on the edge of the mouth of the glove to tie it with the wrist so that the glove will not come off. The gloves are worn so that the patient cannot remove them by tying the gloves around the wrist after inserting the hands into the gloves by grasping the four fingers except the thumb and placing them on the bar. .. This prevents the patient from getting in the way of the grip bar and making it almost impossible for the patient to grab something, preventing the fingers from being freed by the grip bar and directly raising the nails and scratching the skin. Will be done.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-73209

However, since the restraint glove described in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a string for binding the glove is sewn to the mouth portion of the glove so that the glove does not come off, the position of the string is fixed and the size of the hand is large. There was a problem that it was difficult to tie a string at an appropriate position for patients with different sizes. In other words, in order to prevent the gloves from being easily removed during use, it is necessary to tie the string tightly to some extent, so tie the string approximately at the wrist position so as not to cause pain or discomfort to the patient as much as possible. However, there is a problem that the restraining gloves described in Patent Document 1 cannot always do so.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and makes it possible to adjust the position of the fixing member for binding the glove so that it does not come off according to patients having different hand sizes. The purpose is.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the restraint glove of the present invention has a bag shape in which one end is open and the other end is closed, for accommodating from the patient's fingertip to at least a part of the forearm. It is provided with an accommodating portion and a band-shaped fixing member attached to the outside of the accommodating portion and for fixing the accommodating portion to the patient's hand, and only one of the long sides of the fixing member facing each other is used as the accommodating portion. I am trying to install it.

According to the restraining glove of the present invention configured as described above, the entire surface of the band-shaped fixing member is not fixed to the accommodating portion, and only one long side is attached to the outside of the accommodating portion. The fixing member can be folded back by moving the other long side with the attachment portion on one long side as a fulcrum. Thereby, the position of the fixing member can be adjusted by folding back the fixing member in any direction according to the patients having different hand sizes.

It is a figure which shows the structural example of the restraint glove by this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the structural example of the fixed band by this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the state which the gripped object is accommodated in the 2nd accommodating part. It is a figure which shows the state which accommodated the grasped object in the 2nd accommodating part, and further accommodated the patient's hand in the 1st accommodating part.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are views showing a configuration example of a restraint glove 1 according to the present embodiment, where FIG. 1A shows a front view, FIG. 1B shows a rear view, FIG. 1C shows a side view, and FIG. 1D shows a bottom view. ing. Further, FIG. 1 (e) shows a configuration example of the gripped object 2 to be gripped by the hand of the patient wearing the restraint glove 1 of the present embodiment. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the insertion direction of the patient's hand (the length direction of the restraint glove 1) is the X-axis direction, the width direction of the restraint glove 1 orthogonal to the insertion direction is the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the restraint glove 1. Is the Z-axis direction.

The restraint glove 1 of the present embodiment is a glove that is worn on the patient's hand to restrain the movement of the patient's hand. Restraining the movement of the patient's hand means that the patient's hand is gloved and secured to prevent the patient from freely grasping objects or scratching the itchy skin with his fingertips. By doing so, it means that the part beyond the wrist cannot be moved freely.

As shown in FIG. 1, the restraint glove 1 of the present embodiment includes a first accommodating portion 10 (corresponding to an accommodating portion within the scope of claims) for accommodating a patient's fingertip to at least a part of the forearm. , A second accommodating portion 20 for accommodating the grip 2 to be gripped by the patient's hand accommodated in the first accommodating portion 10, and a band-shaped shape for fixing the first accommodating portion 10 to the patient's hand. It is configured with a fixing band 30 (corresponding to a fixing member in the claims).

The first accommodating portion 10 has a bag shape in which one end 11 in the length direction (X-axis direction) is open and the other end 12 is closed. As shown in FIG. 1 (d), an opening 11a is formed at one end 11 of the first accommodating portion 10, and a patient's hand is inserted into the first accommodating portion 10 through the opening 11a. Can be done.

The first accommodating portion 10 has a symmetrical shape in the width direction (Y-axis direction). Further, the other end 12 of the first accommodating portion 10 is formed in an arc shape when viewed from the front side and the back side, and both side surface portions connecting both end portions and the one end 11 of the arc shape are substantially straight or gentle. It is formed in a curved shape. In the present embodiment, the side surface portion is formed in a gentle curved shape, and the shape is such that the portion close to one end 11 is divergent. As a result, of the internal space of the first accommodating portion 10, the internal space in which the portion beyond the wrist is accommodated is relatively narrow, the internal space on the side close to the opening 11a is relatively wide, and the hand is placed from the opening 11a. While making it easy to insert, it has a structure that makes it easy to restrain the movement of the part beyond the wrist.

The restraint gloves 1 are prepared in different sizes depending on the type of patient such as an adult male, an adult female, and a child. The size of the first accommodating portion 10 in each type of restraint glove 1 assumes a standard hand size for each type, and can accommodate the assumed standard size hand. In addition, the portion closer to the other end 12 (around the partial region 13 described later) is configured to be sized so that the portion beyond the wrist can be accommodated relatively tightly.

The first accommodating portion 10 is made of a material having good breathability or a quick-drying material in order to prevent stuffiness due to sweating or the like as much as possible even if the patient's hand is put in the accommodation unit 10 for a long time. ing. The first containment section 10 is also flexible and flexible so that it does not cause pain in contact with the patient's hands and can also accommodate hands larger than the expected standard size. It is made of elastic material. For example, a mesh fabric can be used as a material that is breathable or quick-drying, flexible and stretchable.

The second accommodating portion 20 covers a part of the area 13 outside the first accommodating portion 10 (front side in the Z-axis direction) and from the other end 12 of the first accommodating portion 10 toward one end 11. It is formed at the corresponding position. The partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 is the entire region on the other end 12 side of the linear boundary line in the Y-axis direction temporarily set at a position having a predetermined length from the other end 12 toward the one end 11. Is.

The second accommodating portion 20 also has a bag shape in which one end 21 in the length direction (X-axis direction) is open and the other end 22 is closed. As shown in FIG. 1D, an opening 21a is formed at one end 21 of the second accommodating portion 20, and the gripped object 2 is inserted into the second accommodating portion 20 from the opening 21a. Can be done. The position of one end 21 of the second accommodating portion 20 in which the opening 21a is formed coincides with the position of the boundary line of the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10.

The position of the boundary line of the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10, that is, the position of the opening 21a of the second accommodating portion 20, depends on the size of the gripped object 2 accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20. Is set. That is, the position of the boundary line is set so that the entire gripped object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20. This means that the second accommodating portion 20 is formed in a size such that the entire gripped object 2 is accommodated.

The fact that the second accommodating portion 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 is that the partial region in the first accommodating portion 10 is formed as shown in FIG. 1 (a). The outer edge of the 13 and the outer edge of the second accommodating portion 20 are configured to face each other. Specifically, the second accommodating portion 20 has an outer edge (opening 21a) of the fabric formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 on the outside (front side) of the first accommodating portion 10. It is sewn along the part other than the place). The dotted line 23 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B shows the sewing portion sewn by the thread.

The fact that the fabric of the second accommodating portion 20 is formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 is not limited to the case where the shape of the partial region 13 and the shape of the fabric completely match the shape of the fabric. Includes a case where is similar to the shape of a part of the region 13. For example, if the fabric of the second accommodating portion 20 is slightly larger than the partial region 13, and the outer edge of the fabric (excluding the portion that becomes the opening 21a) is sewn to the outer edge of the partial region 13. It also includes cases where the fabric becomes loose.

As described above, on the outside (front side) of the first accommodating portion 10, the second accommodating portion 20 is formed by sewing a fabric formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1D, the outer surface 14 on the front side of the partial area 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 becomes the inner surface 24 on the back side of the second accommodating portion 20. That is, the outer surface 14 of the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 and the inner surface 24 of the second accommodating portion 20 are the same surfaces, and the same surface is the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10. The outer surface 14 and the inner surface 24 of the second accommodating portion 20 are formed. Hereinafter, this is referred to as shared surfaces 14 and 24.

The fabric of the second accommodating portion 20 formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 is made of the same mesh fabric as the first accommodating portion 10. Since the grip 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20 and the patient's hand is not accommodated, the material does not necessarily have to be a breathable material or a quick-drying material. However, in order to expand the internal space of the second accommodating portion 20 so that the gripped object 2 can be accommodated, flexibility and elasticity are required as the material of the second accommodating portion 20. As the material of the second accommodating portion 20, a material having higher flexibility and elasticity than that of the first accommodating portion 10 may be used.

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the first accommodating portion 10 includes a plurality of divided accommodating portions 15 and 16 in which the five fingers of the patient are separately accommodated. By providing the plurality of divided accommodating portions 15 and 16, the size of each of the divided accommodating portions 15 and 16 becomes smaller than that in the case where the first accommodating portion 10 is not divided into a plurality of regions. As a result, the patient's finger is accommodated in a narrower area, so that the degree of freedom in which the finger can be moved can be reduced, and the movement of the patient's hand can be restrained more effectively.

In the present embodiment, the first accommodating portion 10 is formed in a straight line parallel to the X-axis direction from a substantially central position in the width direction at the other end 12 of the first accommodating portion 10 toward one end 11 side. The front side surface and the back side surface are sewn with a thread. As a result, the region within a predetermined range from the other end 12 of the first accommodating portion 10 toward the one end 11 side is divided into two left and right divided accommodating portions 15 and 16. The dotted line 17 indicates the sewing portion sewn by the thread.

The area where the divided housings 15 and 16 are formed in the first housing 10 is a standard finger according to the patient type for each restraint glove 1 formed in a size suitable for each type of patient. The length of the finger is assumed, and the size is such that the entire finger of the assumed standard length can be accommodated. Therefore, the region where the divided accommodating portions 15 and 16 are formed is narrower than the partial region 13 corresponding to the second accommodating portion 20.

The first accommodating portion 10 has a symmetrical shape with the substantially central position in the width direction as a boundary, and by providing the divided accommodating portions 15 and 16 on the left and right with the substantially central position as a boundary, two divided accommodating portions 10 are provided. Parts 15 and 16 have the same size. Here, the thumb and the index finger are accommodated in one of the divided accommodating portions 25, and the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger are accommodated in the other divided accommodating portion 26. Since the two split accommodating portions 15 and 16 are the same size, the restraint glove 1 can be used for both the patient's right and left hands. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to separately configure the restraint gloves 1 for the right hand and the restraint gloves 1 for the left hand.

Although the configuration in which the two divided accommodating portions 15 and 16 are provided is shown here, a configuration in which three divided accommodating portions are provided may be provided. In this case, for example, the thumb and index finger are accommodated in the first divided accommodating portion on one end side in the width direction, the ring finger and little finger are accommodated in the second divided accommodating portion on the other end side, and the third in the middle. The middle finger is housed in the split storage part of. The thumb is accommodated in the first divided accommodating portion on one end side, the little finger is accommodated in the second divided accommodating portion on the other end side, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are accommodated in the third divided accommodating portion in the middle. It may be configured to be used.

The fixing band 30 is attached to the outside (front side) of the first accommodating portion 10 and at a position closer to one end 11 than the second accommodating portion 20. For example, the fixing band 30 is sewn to the first accommodating portion 10. The method of attaching the fixing band 30 is not limited to sewing. For example, the fixing band 30 may be adhered to the first accommodating portion 10 with an adhesive, or may be adhered with a hook-and-loop fastener.

The fixing band 30 holds the patient's hand in the first containment portion 10 so that the patient's hand does not come out of the first containment portion 10. It is used to fix to. The fixing band 30 is formed in a band shape, and is used to bind the first accommodating portion 10 to the patient's hand. Therefore, the fixing band 30 does not have to be a material having good breathability or a material having a quick-drying property, and may be a material having at least flexibility.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C, only a part 33 of one of the long sides 31 of the fixed band 30 facing each other is attached to the first accommodating portion 10. There is. That is, the entire surface of the fixing band 30 is not fixed to the first accommodating portion 10, and only a part 33 of one long side 31 is attached to the first accommodating portion 10. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the attachment portion (part 33) on one long side 31 is used as a fulcrum, and the other long side 32 is on one end 11 side of the restraint glove 1 (see FIG. 2A) or the other. The fixed band 30 can be folded back by moving it to any of the end 12 sides (see FIG. 2B).

In the present embodiment, the fixing band 30 is attached to the front side of the first accommodating portion 10, but it may be attached to the back side. Further, in the present embodiment, only a part 33 of one of the long sides 31 and 32 of the fixed band 30 facing each other is attached to the first accommodating portion 10, but the other long side 32 A part of the above may be attached to the first accommodating portion 10. Further, although the fixing band 30 is attached only to a part 33 of the length in the width direction of the first accommodating portion 10, it may be attached over the entire length in the width direction.

As shown in FIG. 1 (e), the gripped object 2 is formed of a cylindrical body. The grip 2 is configured to have a radius R sufficient to cover a part (about half) of the side surface with substantially the entire palm and fingers of the patient. Further, the height H of the cylinder (the length in the Y-axis direction when the gripping object 2 is laid sideways as shown in FIG. 1 (e)) is such that all five fingers of a standard hand size can be placed on it. It is configured with such dimensions. The height H of the cylinder is slightly shorter than the width of the opening 21a of the second accommodating portion 20.

The shape of the gripped object 2 may be a prismatic body, but by forming it into a cylindrical body, the shape of the gripped object 2 is similar to the shape of the hand that can be naturally formed when the patient weakens the hand, and the gripped object 2 is used for a long time while being gripped. Even so, the patient can be made less tired. The grip 2 may be a sphere, but when the hand is placed on the grip 2, the margin for moving the thumbs and little fingers at both ends is larger than that of the cylinder, so that the movement of the patient's hand can be performed. From the viewpoint of restraining more effectively, it is preferable to use a cylindrical body. The material of the grip 2 is not particularly limited, but for example, a cushioning sponge can be used.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the gripped object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the gripped object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20 in such a posture that the height direction of the gripped object 2 faces the width direction of the second accommodating portion 20. When inserting the gripped object 2 into the second accommodating portion 20, the opening 21a is widened in the Z-axis direction and inserted. When the gripped object 2 is completely inserted, the gripped object 2 receives a restoring force that causes the stretched dough of the second accommodating portion 20 to shrink to its original shape, so that the gripped object 2 receives a restoring force in the second accommodating portion 20. The gripped object 2 is stably held.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the gripped object 2 is housed in a region close to the opening 21a, which is one end 21 of the second housing part 20, and has an arc shape other than the second housing part 20. It does not reach the area near the end 22. If the other ends 12 and 22 of the first accommodating portion 10 and the second accommodating portion 20 are not arcuate but rectangular, they can be gripped to a region close to the other end 22 of the second accommodating portion 20. It is possible to push and accommodate the object 2.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the gripped object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20 and a state in which the patient's hand is further accommodated in the first accommodating portion 10, and in particular, FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 FIG. 3C is a diagram showing a state in which the restraining gloves 1 are tied with the fixing band 30. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the restraint glove 1 is viewed from the side, and the patient's hand accommodated in the first accommodating portion 10 and the gripped object 2 accommodated in the second accommodating portion 20 are held. It is shown in the figure including. The fixed band 30 is not shown for convenience. FIG. 4B shows a state in which the restraint glove 1 is viewed from the front side, and FIG. 4C shows a state in which the restraint glove 1 is viewed from the back side, both of which are inside the restraint glove 1. The illustration of the patient's hand is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the patient's hand housed in the first containment section 10 passes through the shared surfaces 14 and 24 of the first containment section 10 and the second containment section 20. The gripped object 2 accommodated in the accommodating portion 20 of 2 is gripped. Since it is via the common surfaces 14 and 24, the patient's hand is not directly gripping the gripped object 2, but is indirectly gripping it. Further, even if it is said that the patient is holding the grip, the patient's hand does not necessarily hold the grip 2 completely, and the palm and fingers cover a part of the side surface of the grip 2. Close to.

Most of the patient's wrists and beyond fit into the interior space in the partial area 13 of the first containment section 10. A second accommodating portion 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the partial region 13, and the gripped object 2 is accommodating in the second accommodating portion 20. Therefore, the internal space in the partial region 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 is narrowed so as to be pressed by the gripped object 2, the back of the hand is in close contact with the inner surface on the back surface side of the partial region 13, and the palm is opened. It comes into close contact with the inner surface of the front side (shared surfaces 14, 24 side) of the partial area 13. At this time, all the five fingers are in a state of being on the gripped object 2, and the five fingers are divided into two narrow divided accommodating portions 15 and 16, so that there is a margin for moving the fingers. There is almost no space. As a result, the movement of the patient's hand can be effectively restrained.

As shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c), after the patient's hand is placed in the restraint glove 1, the first accommodating portion 10 is provided with a fixing band 30 so that the restraint glove 1 does not come off. Tied up. At this time, it is desirable to tie the fixing band 30 at the position of the wrist so as not to cause pain or discomfort to the patient as much as possible. Although the restraint gloves 1 are formed in a size assuming a standard hand size, not all patient's hands exactly match the standard hand size. Therefore, it is possible to tie the fixing band 30 at a position close to the patient's wrist by folding back the fixing band 30 in either direction as shown in FIG. 2 according to the size of the patient's hand. ..

By increasing the total length of the fixing band 30, a remainder is formed even after the first accommodating portion 10 is tied, and the remaining fixing band 30 is tied to the fence of the patient's bed or the like. May be good. By doing so, it is possible not only to restrain the movement of the portion beyond the wrist of the patient with the restraining glove 1, but also to restrain the overall movement of the hand by the fixing band 30.

As described in detail above, in the restraint glove 1 of the present embodiment, the band-shaped fixing band 30 for fixing the first accommodating portion 10 to the patient's hand is attached to one of the long sides 31 and 32 facing each other. Only the long side 31 of the above is attached to the first accommodating portion 10 as an attachment portion.

According to the restraint glove 1 of the present embodiment configured in this way, the other long side 32 is moved to one end 11 side or the other end 12 side of the restraint glove 1 with the attachment portion on one long side 31 as a fulcrum. , The fixed band 30 can be folded back in any direction and used. As a result, the position of the fixing band 30 can be adjusted according to the patients having different hand sizes, and the fixing band 30 can be tied at an appropriate position close to the wrist.

It should be noted that the shape shown in the above embodiment is merely an example of the embodiment of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be construed in a limited manner. .. That is, the present invention can be practiced in various ways without departing from its spirit or its main features.

For example, in the above embodiment, the first accommodating portion 10 accommodating the patient's hand and the second accommodating portion 20 accommodating the grip 2 are separately provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, there may be one accommodating portion, and the patient's hand and the grip 2 may be accommodated in the one accommodating portion.
