Description

This disclosure relates to a blood pressure monitor unit and a supporter.

International Publication No. WO 2016/117084 (Patent Document 1) is a prior art document that discloses the configuration of a wrist supporter. The wrist supporter described in Patent Document 1 includes a supporter body. The supporter body is worn on the upper limb to cover at least the wrist. An opening is formed at one end of the supporter body through which the thumb is inserted when the wrist supporter is worn on the upper limb. The supporter body is made of a covering material with high elasticity. A seam is formed in the supporter body by joining two sheets of covering material. The seam is formed in the shape of a single line on the side of the supporter body where the radius is located when the wrist supporter is worn on the upper limb.

International Publication No. 2016/117084

When measuring blood pressure while sleeping with a blood pressure monitor attached directly to the user's skin, the monitor may become dirty with sweat, etc. In this case, in order to handle the monitor cleanly during blood pressure measurement, it is possible to measure blood pressure by attaching the monitor to a supporter attached to the wrist.

When a blood pressure monitor is attached to the wrist support described in Patent Document 1, the stitching of the supporter may be located on an artery, which may affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurement. In addition, the area for placing the blood pressure monitor on the supporter is not taken into consideration, so the blood pressure monitor cannot be attached to the supporter. In this case, there is a concern that the blood pressure monitor cannot be kept clean. Furthermore, although the wrist support described in Patent Document 1 uses a highly elastic material, there is a concern that depending on the direction of expansion and contraction, it may give the user a feeling of pressure when used for long periods of time, such as while sleeping.

The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a blood pressure monitor unit and supporter that can reduce the feeling of pressure and minimize the impact on blood pressure measurement accuracy while keeping the blood pressure monitor clean.

A blood pressure monitor unit according to the present disclosure includes a supporter and a blood pressure monitor. The supporter is attached to the upper limb and covers at least the wrist. The blood pressure monitor can be attached to the wrist. The supporter includes a main body and a first suture. When attached to the upper limb, the main body has a tubular shape extending in a first direction along the forearm. The first suture extends in the first direction and maintains the tubular shape of the main body. The main body has a first opening end and a second opening end. The first opening end is provided on one end side in the first direction. The second opening end is provided on the other end side in the first direction. The main body is provided with a finger hole. The finger hole is located between the first opening end and the second opening end, and a finger other than the finger inserted in the first opening end is inserted through the finger hole, and the finger hole positions the supporter on the upper limb. The main body is more likely to expand and contract in the circumferential direction than in the first direction. When the supporter is worn on the right upper limb, the first suture is located on the side of the right wrist on the little finger side, and is positioned so as not to overlap with the radial artery when viewed from the right palm side. When the supporter is worn on the left upper limb, the first suture is located on the side of the left wrist on the little finger side, and is positioned so as not to overlap with the radial artery when viewed from the left palm side. The main body is provided with an installation area in which a blood pressure monitor can be installed on the main body, between the finger hole and the second opening end in the first direction.

The above configuration allows the blood pressure monitor unit to reduce the feeling of pressure on the upper limbs and minimize the impact on blood pressure measurement accuracy while keeping the blood pressure monitor clean.

In one example of the present disclosure, the first stitching portion and the finger hole portion are positioned opposite each other before the supporter is attached.

The above configuration makes it possible to configure the first suture portion so that it is unlikely to be positioned on the radial artery, regardless of whether it is attached to the right or left wrist.

In one example of the present disclosure, the circumferential length of the main body increases from the second opening end side toward the first opening end side before the supporter is attached.

The above configuration reduces the pressure on the hand caused by the supporter.

In one example of the present disclosure, the supporter has a mark on the second opening end side of the installation area for positioning the blood pressure monitor in the installation area.

The above configuration makes it easier to position the blood pressure monitor on the supporter, which reduces the occurrence of the blood pressure monitor becoming misaligned during blood pressure measurement.

In one example of the present disclosure, the main body is constructed by sewing fabric into a tubular shape. The mark is a second sewn portion where the end of the fabric located on the second opening end side of the supporter is folded back and the overlapping portion of the fabric is sewn in the circumferential direction.

The above configuration makes it easier to form the markings compared to printing them on the main body or attaching another configuration to the main body 20, which reduces the manufacturing costs of the supporter.

In one example of the present disclosure, the main body is constructed by sewing fabric into a tubular shape. The thickness of the fabric is 0.5 mm or less.

The above configuration allows the thickness of the fabric to be made thin, which reduces the effect of the fabric of the supporter 2 on blood pressure measurement by the blood pressure monitor 1.

In one example of the present disclosure, the overall length of the main body in the first direction is 170 mm or more and 230 mm or less.

With the above configuration, regardless of the size of a person's hand or the length of their upper arm, the blood pressure monitor unit can be attached to the upper limb while the blood pressure monitor is placed on the supporter.

The supporter according to the present disclosure includes a main body and a first suture. When the main body is attached to the upper limb, the main body has a tubular shape extending in a first direction along the forearm. The first suture extends in the first direction and maintains the tubular shape of the main body. The main body includes a first opening end provided at one end side in the first direction and a second opening end provided at the other end side in the first direction. The main body is provided with a finger hole. The finger hole is located between the first opening end and the second opening end, and is provided for inserting fingers other than the finger inserted in the first opening end and for positioning the upper limb. The main body is more likely to expand and contract in the circumferential direction than in the first direction. When attached to the right upper limb, the first suture is located on the side of the right wrist on the little finger side of the right wrist, and is located in a position that does not overlap with the radial artery when viewed from the right palm side. When worn on the left upper limb, the first suture is located on the side of the left wrist on the little finger side of the left wrist, and is located in a position that does not overlap with the radial artery when viewed from the left palm side. The main body is provided with an installation area in which a blood pressure monitor can be installed on the main body between the finger hole and the second opening end in the first direction.

The above configuration reduces the pressure on the upper limbs when measuring blood pressure by placing the blood pressure monitor on the supporter, and keeps the blood pressure monitor clean while minimizing the impact on blood pressure measurement accuracy.

This disclosure makes it possible to reduce the feeling of pressure and minimize the impact on blood pressure measurement accuracy while keeping the blood pressure monitor clean.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a configuration of a supporter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing a configuration of a supporter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which a blood pressure monitor unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is worn on a left wrist.

A blood pressure monitor unit and a supporter according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description of one embodiment, the same or corresponding parts in the drawings will be given the same reference numerals, and the description will not be repeated. In the drawings, the direction along the forearm is the first direction, DR1 direction.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a blood pressure monitor unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure worn on the right wrist.

As shown in FIG. 1, a blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can measure a user's blood pressure by being worn on the wrist 4 of the upper limb 3. FIG. 1 shows a case where the blood pressure monitor unit 100 is worn on the right wrist 4R of the right upper limb 3R. The blood pressure monitor unit 100 can also be worn on the left wrist 4L of the left upper limb 3L, as described below.

The blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a blood pressure monitor 1 and a supporter 2.

The blood pressure monitor 1 is a wrist-type blood pressure monitor that measures blood pressure by applying pressure to the user's area to be measured with a cuff (fluid bag) described below. The blood pressure monitor 1 can be worn on at least the right wrist 4R.

The radial artery 5a runs inside the right upper limb 3R. When viewed from the palm side, the radial artery 5a runs on the thumb 6a side inside the right wrist 4R, right hand 6R, and right forearm 7R. The blood pressure monitor 1 can measure blood pressure in the radial artery 5a. The blood pressure monitor 1 uses, for example, the oscillometric method to measure blood pressure.

In this embodiment, the blood pressure monitor 1 is assumed to be used in a situation where the user's blood pressure is measured while the user is asleep. In this case, the blood pressure monitor 1 automatically starts measuring blood pressure according to a predetermined schedule. Note that the blood pressure monitor 1 is not limited to being used while the user is asleep.

The blood pressure monitor 1 includes a measurement unit 10 and a band-shaped member 11. The measurement unit 10 has an operation unit 12 and a display unit 13.

The operation unit 12 is a part for operating the blood pressure monitor 1. The display unit 13 is a part for displaying the results of blood pressure measurement. A button on the operation unit 12 is pressed to start blood pressure measurement, and when the blood pressure measurement is completed, the results of the blood pressure measurement are displayed on the display unit 13.

The belt-shaped member 11 is formed into a bag shape by overlapping an outer cover member and an inner cover member, and joining them (for example, by sewing or welding) with their edges covered with bias tape.

The belt-shaped member 11 is provided so as to be able to be wrapped around the wrist 4 so as to surround the wrist 4 in the circumferential direction. The belt-shaped member 11 can be wrapped around the wrist 4, for example, by a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown).

The belt-shaped member 11 contains a cuff (fluid bag) for compressing the wrist 4. The cuff may have a single cuff structure or a double cuff structure. By applying pressure to the cuff, the radial artery 5a can be compressed.

The supporter 2 is attached to the upper limb 3 and covers at least the wrist 4. Specifically, the supporter 2 covers the right wrist 4R and also covers the area from the base of the fingers of the right hand 6R to the middle of the right forearm 7R in the DR1 direction.

Figure 2 is a front view showing the configuration of a supporter according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a rear view showing the configuration of a supporter according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the supporter 2 includes a main body portion 20, a first stitched portion 30, a second stitched portion 31, and a third stitched portion 32.

When worn on the upper limb 3, the main body 20 has a tubular shape that extends in a first direction (DR1 direction) along the forearm 7. The main body 20 is constructed by sewing fabric into a tubular shape.

The main body 20 is more stretchable in the circumferential direction than in the first direction (DR1 direction). The fabric of the main body 20 may be made of one type of stretchable fabric, or may be made of a combination of multiple types of stretchable fabric. The fabric of the main body 20 may be a knitted or woven fabric made of a combination of fibers selected from, for example, polyester or polyurethane.

The thickness of the fabric in the main body 20 is, for example, 0.5 mm or less. Note that the thickness of the fabric in the main body 20 is not limited to 0.5 mm or less, and may be thicker than 0.5 mm as long as it does not affect the blood pressure measurement of the radial artery 5a by the sphygmomanometer 1.

The total length L1 of the main body 20 in the first direction (DR1 direction) is 170 mm or more and 230 mm or less. This allows the supporter 2 to be attached to the upper limb 3 even if the size of the hand 6 or the length of the forearm 7 varies from person to person. In this embodiment, the total length L1 of the main body 20 in the first direction (DR1 direction) is, for example, 200 mm.

The main body 20 has a first opening end 21 and a second opening end 22. The main body 20 also has a finger hole 23 and an installation area 24 for the blood pressure monitor 1.

The first opening end 21 is provided on one end side (fingertip side) in the first direction (DR1 direction). The first opening end 21 can be used to insert fingers and the palm. In this embodiment, the index finger 6b, middle finger 6c, ring finger 6d, little finger 6e, and part of the palm are inserted into the first opening end 21.

The second opening end 22 is provided on the other end side (elbow side) in the first direction (DR1 direction). The second opening end 22 can be inserted into the right forearm 7R.

The circumferential length L2 at the first opening end 21 is 150 mm or more and 170 mm or less. In this embodiment, the circumferential length L2 is, for example, 160 mm. The circumferential length L3 at the second opening end 22 is 140 mm or more and 160 mm or less. In this embodiment, the circumferential length L3 is, for example, 150 mm.

Before the supporter 2 is attached, the circumferential length of the main body 20 increases from the second opening end 22 toward the first opening end 21. Thus, the main body 20 has a tapered shape from the elbow side toward the fingertip side in the DR1 direction.

The circumference of the main body 20 does not necessarily have to be gradually increased from the second opening end 22 side toward the first opening end 21 side in the DR1 direction. The circumference of the main body 20 may be configured so that the circumference is gradually increased from the second opening end 22 side toward the first opening end 21 side in the DR1 direction.

The finger hole 23 is located between the first opening end 21 and the second opening end 22. Fingers other than the finger inserted into the first opening end 21 are inserted into the finger hole 23. In this embodiment, the thumb 6a is inserted into the finger hole 23.

The finger hole 23 is provided to position the supporter 2 on the upper limb 3. The thumb 6a is inserted through the finger hole 23, and fingers other than the thumb 6a are inserted through the first opening end 21, thereby restricting the position of the finger hole 23 in the DR1 direction relative to the thumb 6a. This allows the supporter 2 to be hooked onto the right hand 6R, so that the supporter 2 is positioned on the right upper limb 3R.

By positioning the supporter 2 on the right upper limb 3R, it is possible to prevent the blood pressure monitor unit 100 from shifting in position relative to the upper limb 3 when the blood pressure monitor unit 100 is used while sleeping. In addition, there are cases where the blood pressure monitor 1 is worn by inserting the upper limb 3 inside the band-shaped member 11 of the blood pressure monitor 1 with the band-shaped member 11 wrapped around a cylinder. In this case, because the supporter 2 is positioned on the upper limb 3, it is possible to prevent the supporter 2 from shifting in position due to movement caused by wearing the blood pressure monitor 1.

In addition, multiple fingers, including fingers other than the thumb, may be inserted into the finger hole portion 23, in addition to the thumb 6a. In this case, the fingers other than the finger inserted into the finger hole portion 23 are inserted into the first opening end 21.

The finger hole portion 23 is open in the DR1 direction, for example, over a range of 50 mm to 60 mm. Also, the finger hole portion 23 is open in the circumferential direction, for example, over a range of 25 mm to 35 mm. The finger hole portion 23 is disposed with a distance of, for example, 20 mm from the first opening end 21 at the portion of the finger hole portion 23 closest to the first opening end 21.

The installation area 24 is provided between the finger hole portion 23 and the second opening end 22 in the first direction (DR1 direction). The installation area 24 has a width greater than the width of the band-shaped member 11 of the sphygmomanometer 1 in the DR1 direction. This allows the sphygmomanometer 1 to be placed on the installation area 24. In other words, the sphygmomanometer 1 can be installed on the main body portion 20.

The first sewn portion 30 extends in the first direction (DR1 direction). The first sewn portion 30 is a portion where the fabric of the supporter 2 is sewn to maintain the cylindrical shape of the main body portion 20.

When the supporter 2 is attached to the right upper limb 3R, the first suture 30 is located on the side of the right wrist 4R on the side of the little finger 6e of the right wrist 4R, and is positioned so as not to overlap with the radial artery 5a when viewed from the right palm side.

The first suture 30 and the finger hole 23 are provided in positions facing each other before the supporter 2 is worn. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, before the supporter 2 is worn, the supporter 2 is folded so that the finger hole 23 is located near the center in the direction perpendicular to the first direction (DR1 direction) when viewed from the front or back. In this state, the first suture 30 and the finger hole 23 are located facing each other in the front direction near the center. In this way, the supporter 2 has a shape symmetrical on the left and right sides with respect to the center in the direction perpendicular to the first direction. With this configuration, when the supporter 2 is used for both the right wrist 4R and the left wrist 4L, it is easy to ensure that the first suture 30 is not positioned so as to overlap the radial artery 5a.

The supporter 2 is provided with a mark. The mark is provided on the second opening end 22 side of the installation area 24 to position the blood pressure monitor 1 in the installation area 24. In this embodiment, the mark is the second suture 31.

The second sewn portion 31 is the portion where the end of the fabric located on the second opening end 22 side of the supporter 2 is folded back and the overlapping portions of the fabric are sewn in the circumferential direction.

The mark only needs to be able to identify the position where the blood pressure monitor 1 is to be placed, and may be formed by printing on the main body unit 20, or may be fixed to the main body unit 20 by, for example, attaching another component to the main body unit 20.

When the second sewn portion 31 is used as the marker as in this embodiment, it can be formed by folding back and sewing the fabric at the end of the main body portion 20. Therefore, the marker can be formed more easily than when the marker is printed on the main body portion 20 or when another structure is attached to the main body portion 20, and the manufacturing costs of the supporter 2 can be reduced.

The third sewn portion 32 is a portion where the end of the fabric located on the first opening end 21 side of the supporter 2 is folded back and the overlapping fabric parts are sewn in the circumferential direction. It is desirable for the thickness of the third sewn portion 32 to be as thin as possible so that there is no discomfort when the supporter 2 is worn on the upper limb 3.

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing a blood pressure monitor unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure worn on the left wrist.

As shown in FIG. 4, the blood pressure monitor unit 100 can also be worn on the left wrist 4L of the left upper limb 3L. The blood pressure monitor 1 can measure blood pressure in the radial artery 5b.

The supporter 2 covers the left wrist 4L, and also covers from the base of the fingers of the left hand 6L to the middle of the left forearm 7L in the DR1 direction.

When the main body 20 is attached to the left upper limb 3L, it is aligned with the left forearm 7L. The index finger 6g, middle finger 6h, ring finger 6j, little finger 6k, and part of the palm are inserted into the first opening end 21. The left forearm 7L is inserted into the second opening end 22.

When the supporter 2 is attached to the left upper limb 3L, the thumb 6f is inserted through the finger hole 23, and fingers other than the thumb 6f are inserted through the first opening end 21, restricting the position of the finger hole 23 in the DR1 direction relative to the thumb 6f. This allows the supporter 2 to be hooked onto the left hand 6L, so that the supporter 2 is positioned on the left upper limb 3L.

Even when the supporter 2 is attached to the left upper limb 3L, the blood pressure monitor 1 can be installed in the installation area 24, just as when the supporter 2 is attached to the right upper limb 3R. This allows the blood pressure monitor 1 to be installed on the main body 20 of the supporter 2.

When the supporter 2 is attached to the left upper limb 3L, the first suture 30 is located on the side of the left wrist 4L on the side of the little finger 6k of the left wrist 4L, and is positioned so as not to overlap with the radial artery 5b when viewed from the left palm side.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 and the supporter 2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the feeling of pressure on the upper limb 3 can be reduced by making the supporter 2 easier to expand and contract in the circumferential direction than in the first direction (DR1 direction).

In addition, in the blood pressure monitor unit 100 and supporter 2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, regardless of whether the supporter 2 is attached to the right wrist 4R or the left wrist 4L, the first sutured portion 30 is positioned so as not to overlap the radial artery 5, so that the blood pressure monitor 1 can be positioned on the radial artery 5 while avoiding the first sutured portion 30, where the fabric of the supporter 2 is sewn and is thicker than the main body portion 20, thereby suppressing the effect of the supporter 2 on the accuracy of blood pressure measurement by the blood pressure monitor 1.

Furthermore, in the blood pressure monitor unit 100 and the supporter 2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an installation area 24 in which the blood pressure monitor 1 is installed in the main body 20 of the supporter 2, the blood pressure monitor 1 can be attached to the supporter 2 attached to the upper limb 3. This prevents sweat and the like from adhering to the band-shaped member 11, so that the blood pressure monitor 1 can be used in a clean state. In particular, even if the user is unable to wipe off sweat when measuring blood pressure while sleeping, attaching the blood pressure monitor 1 to the supporter 2 prevents sweat and the like from adhering to the band-shaped member 11, so that the blood pressure monitor 1 can be used in a clean state.

As described above, the blood pressure monitor unit 100 and supporter 2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the feeling of pressure on the upper limb 3 and keep the blood pressure monitor clean while suppressing the effect on the blood pressure measurement accuracy. Furthermore, when the blood pressure monitor 1 is worn on the supporter 2 while wearing the supporter 2 while sleeping and blood pressure is measured, the effect of the supporter 2 on the blood pressure measurement by the blood pressure monitor 1 is suppressed, and there is no effect on sleeping (uncomfortable feeling). Because the supporter 2 is separate from the blood pressure monitor 1, the supporter 2 is washable and can be kept clean.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first suture portion 30 and the finger hole portion 23 are located in opposing positions before the supporter 2 is worn, so that the fabric of the supporter 2 is sewn together so that the first suture portion 30, which is thicker than the main body portion 20, is unlikely to be positioned over the radial artery 5 regardless of whether the supporter 2 is worn on the right wrist 4R or the left wrist 4L.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the circumferential length L2 of the main body 20 at the first opening end 21 on the fingertip side is longer than the circumferential length L3 of the main body 20 at the second opening end 22 on the elbow side, thereby reducing the feeling of pressure on the hand 6 by the supporter 2.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a mark for positioning the blood pressure monitor 1 in the installation area 24 is provided on the second opening end 22 side of the installation area 24, which makes it easier to position the blood pressure monitor 1 on the supporter 2. This makes it possible to prevent the blood pressure monitor 1 from shifting out of position when measuring blood pressure in the radial artery 5.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second sutured portion 31 is used as a marker for easily positioning the blood pressure monitor 1 in the installation area 24, which can be formed more easily than when the marker is printed on the main body portion 20 or a separate structure is attached to the main body portion 20, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the supporter 2.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the thickness of the fabric in the supporter 2 can be made thin by making the thickness of the fabric 0.5 mm or less, thereby suppressing the effect of the fabric of the supporter 2 on blood pressure measurement by the blood pressure monitor 1.

In the blood pressure monitor unit 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the total length L1 of the main body 20 in the first direction (DR1 direction) of the supporter 2 is set to 170 mm or more and 230 mm or less, so that the blood pressure monitor unit 100 can be attached to the upper limb 3 while the blood pressure monitor 1 is placed on the supporter 2, regardless of the size of the person's hand 6 or the length of the forearm 7.
