Description

The present invention relates to a pants-type diaper cover.

In modern times, the increase in the number of elderly people requiring nursing care is extremely remarkable. However, the current situation is that many people who have been certified as needing long-term care are not able to enter nursing care facilities or the like immediately, and many people are waiting for their turn to enter the facility at home. Under the current circumstances, most of the problems related to care recipients are related to excretion. For example, the problem of so-called "wetting" is solved by using disposable diapers. In this case, two main types of paper diapers are known: "tape type paper diapers" and "underpants type paper diapers".

In the past, ``tape-type paper diapers'' were widely used, but in recent years, due to improvements in production technology, ``pants-type paper diapers'' have come to be supplied in large quantities at low prices, and many elderly people use them as a substitute for regular pants. It's meant to be used. However, it has now been pointed out that there is a problem with the easy use of pant-type paper diapers. In other words, the elderly who used the pants-type paper diaper, when they first started using the pants-type paper diaper, rushed to the toilet to relieve themselves when they felt the urge to defecate. There is, but it is said that it will be in a state of "draining".

From the point of view of nursing care, it is important for people to always make an effort to go to the toilet as a measure to prevent functional decline called "disuse syndrome", and it is important to support them to go to the toilet by themselves. It is said to be Therefore, pants-type paper diapers are used as a countermeasure in case of emergency, and are used to compensate for the lack of manpower. For this reason, we use "pants-type paper diapers" for people with a low level of nursing care and basically have them raise and lower them in the same way as regular pants. The basic usage style is to use "paper diapers".

In the case of people with a light to moderate level of care, if they are able to raise their legs and stand up on their own, they should be able to walk around freely, put on and take off pants-type paper diapers. preferred. On the other hand, for a person who is "bedridden", it is difficult to lift the waist and put on pants while lying down with a "pants-type paper diaper", and it is hard work because the person's cooperation cannot be expected. Therefore, "tape type paper diapers" will be used. With the tape-type paper diaper, if the care recipient is placed sideways, a paper diaper is placed under the buttocks, and the care recipient is turned on his or her back, the placket of the paper diaper can be pulled back to the abdomen. Fold it back so that it is placed on the front, fold the left and right wing-shaped wing-shaped parts to the abdominal side, peel off the cover of the tape provided at the tip of the wing-shaped part, and attach the wing-shaped part to the surface of the placket with the tape. Installation is completed by pasting.

The "pants with artificial glutes" according to the present embodiment are of a type that is worn over the above "pants-type paper diaper", and solves various problems of the "pants-type paper diaper". Many of the users of "pants-type diapers" live in wheelchairs or in chairs during the day and in beds at night in order to prevent being bedridden. In addition, it can be said that they hardly exercise because they are old. For this reason, the gluteal muscles are significantly degenerated compared to when they were young, and due to the degeneration of the gluteal muscles, the ischium and sacrum (coccyx) protrude into a skeletal body shape. Wheelchairs and chairs in nursing homes have poor cushioning properties, so the protruding sciatica and sacrum (coccyx) hit the floor of the chair, adding weight to the sciatica and sacrum (coccyx), causing severe pain, and sitting for long periods of time. It becomes painful to be. On the other hand, although cushions with high cushioning properties for wheelchairs are on the market, they are expensive, such as those costing more than 100,000 yen, and are not very effective. has not been obtained.

Furthermore, the problem of wheelchair pressure ulcer also occurs. As mentioned above, if the protruding ischium or sacrum (coccyx) hits the floor of the chair, the blood flow to the skin in that area is blocked, the skin is easily abraded and easily injured, and feces adheres to the wound when defecation. and pressure ulcers develop. In addition, when a pressure ulcer occurs in this way, the buttocks move toward the front end of the wheelchair seat to avoid pain, and in many cases, the care recipient eventually falls. . Fractures may also occur in the lower back bones, particularly the coccyx and iliac spines, which protrude outward, and the femur.

In addition, when wearing both "pants-type paper diapers" and "tape-type paper diapers," the distance to the diaper near the buttocks hole is shorter for elderly people with degenerated gluteal muscles than for people who do not have degenerated gluteal muscles. Since the volume of this part is small, when defecation is carried out, the stool spreads out and adheres to the skin of protruding bones such as the sacrum, which may dissolve the skin and cause bedsores. Moreover, especially in the case of women, there is a high risk of developing cystitis, which is a urinary tract infection.

Patent Literature 1 discloses a nursing care diaper cover. This diaper cover comprises an elastic member for the buttocks, an elastic member for protecting the sacrum, a defecation tube, and a cover. The elastic member corresponding to the buttocks pushes up the buttocks in supine and sitting positions from the floor side at least at a position facing the buttocks while avoiding the coccyx at the tip of the sacrum. The sacrum-protecting elastic member is arranged closer to the human body than the buttocks-corresponding elastic member, and is provided with protective means for protecting the living body from pressure at positions corresponding to the sacrum and the buttocks.

Further, the defecation tube portion is formed so as to pass through the sacrum protecting elastic member and the buttock corresponding elastic member. Further, the cover covers the exposed surfaces of the buttocks corresponding elastic member, the sacrum protecting elastic member, and the defecation tube portion, and covers the lower abdomen from the back side through the buttocks when worn.

In the diaper cover for nursing care configured as described above, a diaper for defecation is arranged on the cover of the elastic member corresponding to the buttocks.

Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a diaper provided with a feces bag. This diaper comprises a diaper main body having a water-absorbing sheet on the surface that comes in contact with a living body and a waterproof sheet outside the water-absorbing sheet; a hole formed in a region where the anus is located; a feces bag having a space for storing feces outside from the hole; a connecting portion connecting the hole and the opening of the feces bag; and a cushioning member that maintains the opening at the connecting portion and separates the diaper main body from the floor side.

In the above diaper, the cushioning member is provided at the connecting portion to increase the thickness of the connecting portion and maintain the opening of the hole. In addition, it can be distributed with the holes closed, and can be made compact during transportation. In addition, the closed opening can be easily widened and the patient can be worn while maintaining the opening. In addition, the connecting portion is made thicker by the cushioning member, and is constructed so as to look into the feces bag like a bank along the perimeter of the opening of the hole, separating the main body of the diaper from the floor side, so that feces and urine can be separated. To prevent stool from being mixed together, to prevent stool from going around the waist and back, to prevent contact between the skin and stool after excretion, to easily and easily dispose of excrement, to simplify the structure, and to reduce the cost. It has the characteristics of

Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a diaper unit. This diaper unit is composed of an artificial gluteus muscle block composed of an elastic member annularly formed so as to encircle a person's buttocks, a diaper outer body, and a diaper inner body. The diaper outer body is a cover that encloses the artificial gluteal muscle block and has holes corresponding to the holes in the annular portion of the artificial gluteal muscle block, and at least the part that faces the buttocks of a person when worn. A cover provided with a hook-and-loop fastener is provided.

The diaper inner body has an opening in the feces-corresponding portion of the diaper, and is joined to the diaper body by a hook-and-loop fastener of the diaper outer body, and to the opening of the diaper body. and a toilet bag that is water-absorbent and waterproof on the outside, and that is accommodated in a hole in the outer diaper body.

In the diaper unit and the diaper outer body according to Patent Document 3, the shock absorbing gel piece is provided between the cover and the artificial gluteus muscle block at the portion where the cover faces the buttocks of a person when worn. For this reason, the stress applied to the buttocks is dispersed, the pressure ulcer is less likely to form in the sacral region, and, if a pressure ulcer is formed, it has the effect of suppressing aggravation.

In the conventional case of dealing with defecation as described above, elastic members were used to complement the gluteal muscles, etc., but basically it is a configuration that uses paper diapers, and the cost of paper diapers is elastic. There is a problem that the cost of the component parts is added, resulting in a high cost as a whole. In addition, since it is assumed that paper diapers will be used, a large amount of used paper diapers will be generated as waste. was also problematic.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A pants-type diaper cover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and overlapping descriptions are omitted. The underpants-type diaper according to this embodiment is worn while wearing a diaper. The diapers used are assumed to be pants-type paper diapers, but tape-type paper diapers may also be used. Also, cloth may be used. In short, it is assumed that the user sits on a chair.

The use of the "underpants-type paper diaper" assumed as a diaper to be worn under the underpants-type diaper cover according to this embodiment can be considered as follows. Observing people who use "pants-type paper diapers", they often wear ordinary pants on top of "pants-type paper diapers". This is a countermeasure against the coldness of the lower half of the body, and also to restore the feeling of wearing ordinary pants because the "pants type paper diaper" alone is fluffy and lacks stability. Under these circumstances, the pants-type diaper cover according to the present embodiment is easy to wear when worn in layers.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pants-type diaper cover according to this embodiment has a waist hole 101 corresponding to a person's waist, and legs provided corresponding to a portion from the base of both legs to the thigh. leg side holes 102, 102 for passing through, and a pants body made by providing elastic fabric in the form of pants between the waist hole 101 and the leg side holes 102, 102. 103. An elastic body such as rubber is provided in the portion of the pants main body 103 around the waist hole 101, so that the pants-type diaper cover can be appropriately maintained in a worn state. In this embodiment, a pants main body 103 has thigh rings 104, 104 that cover portions from the roots of both legs to the thighs. Those having the thigh rings 104, 104 are preferable, but of course, the type called "briefs" and the type called "shorts" which do not have the thigh rings 104, 104 may be of

The pants-type diaper cover according to the present embodiment is configured such that when the pants-type diaper is worn, a space is formed using the fabric at a position corresponding to the hip hole in the pants main body 103. A reservoir 105 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the position corresponding to the buttocks hole in the underpants main body 103 is indicated by an annular ring 201, the feces collecting part 105 has the annular ring 201 as a base and the fabric 202 is formed outward in a generally hemispherical shell shape. It can be formed to protrude. A space 203 is formed inside the fabric 202 protruding outward in a substantially hemispherical shell shape.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the pants-type diaper cover according to the present embodiment is designed so that when the pants-type diaper is worn, the right and left buttocks and thigh muscle side portions of the pants main body 103 are covered. artificial gluteal muscles 300 made of an elastic resin material attached to the underpants main body 103 so as to cover the positions corresponding to the . This artificial gluteal muscle 300 is attached to the outer side of the pants main body 103 . This artificial gluteal muscle 300 is a portion that covers the side of the thigh muscle, and has a size that covers the position where the ilium protrudes outward.

The artificial gluteal muscle 300 is provided corresponding to the left buttock of the person shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. , each cross-sectional view has the shape of a bowstring, the thickness being the thinnest at the peripheral portion and the thickest at the central portion. For example, the thickness can be about 2 to 3 mm at the thinnest point and about 30 to 40 mm at the thickest point. For the artificial gluteal muscle 300, an elastic resin such as relatively hard urethane foam or chip urethane foam (hardness is normal to hard) can be used. The planar shape of the artificial gluteal muscle 300 is generally rectangular, and has a shape in which a portion along the circumference of the buttock hole is scraped inward. With this shape and thickness as described above, the artificial gluteal muscle 300 realizes a buttock similar to that of a person who has natural gluteal muscles that are not receding.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the pants-type diaper is worn, gel is applied to a region from the edge of the artificial gluteal muscle 300 facing the buttock hole to about one-third of the width of the artificial gluteal muscle 300. A pad 400 is provided. This area is where the most force is applied when the person being cared for slips off a chair, including a wheelchair. With the gel pad 400, it is possible to diffuse and reduce the force applied to the area when the care recipient slides down from the chair, thereby preventing accidental skin peeling.

The underpants-type diaper cover of this embodiment has a size that allows a person wearing a paper diaper to put it on. As the paper diaper, a pants-type paper diaper 500 shown in FIG. 8 can be used. It is possible to use commercially available pant-type paper diapers other than those shown in FIG. The underpants-type paper diaper 500 is put on, and the underpants-type diaper cover of the present embodiment is put on it. As a result, it is possible to enjoy the same feeling of fit as when ordinary pants are layered on top of the "pants-type paper diaper".

By wearing the pants-type diaper cover of the present embodiment as described above, the artificial gluteal muscles 300 function as gluteal muscles, and when a person sits on a chair, including a wheelchair, the sacrum (especially the coccyx at the tip of the sacrum) is placed on the chair floor. It becomes possible to sit for a long time without hitting the chair floor. In addition, since the ischium and sacrum (coccyx) do not hit the floor of the chair, blood flow to the skin in those areas is not hindered, and the skin is less likely to be frayed or scratched. adheres to the wound and reduces the likelihood of developing a pressure ulcer.

In addition, the artificial gluteal muscle 300 creates a distance and space from the floor of the chair to the buttocks hole, and the feces reservoir 105 enters this space, and when defecated, the feces are less likely to spread in the paper diaper, and the caregiver can use the diaper. Hopefully it will make the replacement process easier.

Furthermore, by wearing the pants-type diaper cover of the present embodiment, the artificial gluteal muscles 300 cover the coccyx, iliac spine, and thighbone that protrude outward in the lumbar bones, so that a person can fall from a chair. It reduces the risk of fracture if

Furthermore, the gel pad 400 of the underpants-type diaper cover of this embodiment can diffuse and reduce the force applied to the above region when the care recipient slides down from the chair, thereby preventing the skin from peeling off. .
