[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cap for covering an ostomy appliance attached to an artificial anus during bathing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A stoma appliance is attached to the colostomy. This stoma appliance usually consists of a drain joined to the artificial anus and a stool bag attached to the drain. The drainage of the stoma appliance has a protective rubber at the joint to the colostomy, and after the protective rubber is brought into close contact with the peripheral edge of the colostomy, it is joined to the body by applying a paper tape from the outside of the protection rubber. It has become so. In this case, the protective rubber of the stoma device is made of an acid-based rubber that is somewhat water-soluble in order to facilitate sterilization and familiarity with the skin.It is relatively insoluble in water, but easily soluble in hot water. It has the property of

Therefore, when a person with an artificial anus takes a bath, there is no problem if it is taken in the shower, but if the Japanese-style bath of dipping in a bathtub is performed for a relatively long time, the stoma appliance is Does not have hot water resistance, the tape part becomes weak, and the protective rubber melts, so it is easy for the stoma equipment to come off easily after bathing, and the body often becomes itchy. It was a problem. Furthermore, for people with colostomy, wetting the stoma orthosis when bathing was somewhat uncomfortable. Therefore, people with a colostomy often take a bath once in a few days or a shower.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to allow a person with an artificial anus to take a bath every day with almost the same feeling as before the operation, without having to wet the stoma appliance of the artificial anus, in a relaxed and comfortable mood. It is to be.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a pot lid shape having a flange substantially, the bottom is hard, and the peripheral portion from the outer periphery of the bottom to the flange is formed flexibly and has water resistance. However, at least the peripheral portion is formed of silicone rubber, the bottom has a core material containing at least a foamed plastic material inside, and the peripheral portion has a reinforcing material formed of a sheet having elasticity inside. A cap for covering the stoma appliance of the colostomy at the time of bathing is characterized in that a locking tool for a body wearing belt is attached to the outer surface of the bottom.

The cap according to the present invention has a hygroscopic sheet such as gauze attached to the inner surface of the bottom so that the inner side of the cap faces the body and the stoma orthosis of the colostomy is covered on the body. It is installed. To secure the cap in place on the body, the body-worn belt is rotated from the back and both ends of the belt are locked by the cap fasteners to properly tighten the belt.

At this time, since the peripheral portion of the cap is formed to be flexible, the cap easily fits the body of most users regardless of gender, and when the cap is attached and fixed to the body, the peripheral portion of the cap is fixed. The inner surface of the part is in close contact with the body. As a result, it is possible to prevent hot water from entering the inside of the cap when taking a bath. Moreover, since the inner surface of the inner edge of the cap is made of silicone rubber, allergic reactions do not easily occur when the cap is attached. Silicon rubber also has the drawback of being very brittle and liable to tear, but this drawback is overcome by the fact that the peripheral portion of the cap has a reinforcing member made of a stretchable sheet inside.

Further, since the bottom of the cap to which the belt locking device is attached is hard and has a core member made of a non-stretchable sheet and a foam plastic material laminated in two layers inside, When fixing the cap to the body, the body wearing belt can be tightened without the cap being crushed.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom and the peripheral portion of the cap are integrally molded from silicon rubber, the bottom has the core member inside, and the peripheral portion has the reinforcing member inside.

It is preferable that the core material at the bottom of the cap is formed by laminating two layers of a non-stretchable plastic sheet and a foamed plastic material. With such a structure, it is possible to reduce the weight of the cap, and it is possible to impart a desired hardness and an appropriate elasticity to the bottom of the cap. In this case, for example, a polyester sheet may be used as the non-stretchable plastic sheet, and a urethane foam material may be used as the foamed plastic material.

Further, the elastic sheet forming the reinforcing material of the peripheral portion of the cap is preferably a net-shaped sheet. The net-like sheet allows the silicone rubber to sufficiently penetrate into the voids of the sheet, so that the reinforcing material and the silicone rubber bond more strongly. As the net-like sheet, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a net-like or multi-pore plastic sheet, or the like can be used.

[0012] Preferably, a locking member for fixing a hygroscopic sheet such as gauze is attached to the inner surface of the bottom of the cap. For example, a velvet type fastener can be used as the locking member. With such a configuration, it is possible to very easily attach and detach a hygroscopic sheet such as gauze to the inner surface of the bottom of the cap.

[0013]

It is the top view seen. 1 to 3, a cap 1 according to the present invention has a pot-like shape substantially having a collar, a bottom 2 is hard, and a peripheral portion 3 from the outer periphery of the bottom 2 to the collar is flexible. Has been. Further, the bottom surface of the cap 1 has a substantially oval shape.

The cap 1 has water resistance, and the bottom 2 and the peripheral edge portion 3 of the cap 1 are integrally molded from silicon rubber. In this case, at least the peripheral portion 3 of the cap may be formed of silicon rubber. As in this embodiment, the bottom 2 and the peripheral portion 3 of the cap may be integrally formed from silicon rubber, or the bottom of the cap may be formed integrally. 2 may be formed of, for example, polyester resin.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom 2 of the cap 1 has, inside, a core material 6 made of two layers of a non-stretchable sheet and a foam plastic material. In this embodiment, a non-stretchable polyester sheet 4 is used as a non-stretchable sheet, and a urethane foam material 5 is used as a foamed plastic material. Further, the peripheral portion 3 of the cap extending from the outer circumference of the bottom to the brim has a reinforcing member 7 made of a net-like sheet inside. In this embodiment, a net-shaped polyester sheet is used as the net-shaped sheet.

On the outer surface of the bottom 2 of the cap 1, a locking tool 8 made of a metal elongated plate is attached so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the oval bottom surface. An elliptical hole 9 is formed in each of the end portions of the locking member 8 that project outward from the cap.
