Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a device for cleaning pressure ulcers caused by so-called bedridden patients, particularly patients who have difficulty turning over by themselves, when pressure is applied to a specific place.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a device for cleaning pressure ulcer, a device in which a pressure ulcer cleaning liquid jetting device and a sewage recovery device are incorporated in a bed has been proposed (Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI No. 4-34829). This technology is equipped with a nozzle that hollows out the mat part of the bed and ejects the cleaning liquid.The nozzle ejects the cleaning liquid to the affected part of the patient who lies down, and the cleaning waste liquid is attached to the bottom of the nozzle. It is made to flow down to.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the above-mentioned conventional technique has a structure in which a bed is hollowed out and assembled, a dedicated bed must be prepared and cannot be widely spread. Also, there are various sites of pressure ulcer development, and pressure ulcers occur at multiple sites of one patient. However, in the device incorporated in the bed, the position where the cleaning liquid is ejected is limited to the nozzle mounting position, so the patient must be moved to align the pressure ulcer part with the position corresponding to the nozzle, and this should be taken by the caregiver. It was hard work, and it was a burden for the patient to be moved. An object of the present invention is to provide a decubitus washer that does not require a large-scale device and can deal with decubitus at any site.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The pressure ulcer cleaning device of the present invention has a hollow cover which can be opened at one end and covers the pressure ulcer of a patient, and a nozzle for spraying a cleaning liquid on the pressure ulcer and one end of a recovery pipe for collecting cleaning filth It is configured by attaching a recovery container for cleaning waste liquid to the other end of the. When the nozzle is detachably attached to the nozzle attachment hole provided in the nozzle attachment elastic member attached to the nozzle attachment portion of the hollow cover (Claim 2), the handling is convenient, but the hollow It may be fixed to the cover integrally or may be detachable. If a soft and elastic material such as silicone resin is attached to the opening edge of the hollow cover to improve the adhesion to the patient, leakage of the cleaning solution can be prevented as much as possible and it can be removed and disinfected. Therefore, it is preferable (Claim 3). When the opening edge of the hollow cover is curled so that the contacting force with the patient's body is dispersed (claim 3), the contacting state with the patient's body is improved without attaching an elastic material. To collect the cleaning waste liquid, the waste liquid may be naturally dropped into the collection container, or a suction pump may be attached to the collection container and the suction force of the pump may be used to collect the waste liquid. ).

[0005]

[Action]

 The device of the present invention cleans the pressure ulcer by ejecting a cleaning liquid from the nozzle toward the pressure ulcer while the hollow cover is in close contact with the patient so as to cover the pressure ulcer of the patient. After the cleaning liquid is sprayed on the patient, it returns to the hollow cover as cleaning waste liquid and is collected in the collection container via the collection pipe. Since it is practically impossible to make the hollow cover watertightly contact a patient with flesh, it is possible to prevent the washing liquid from leaking by appropriately inserting a towel or the like.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The hollow cover 1 has a cup-like shape with an opening 3 at one end so as to cover the pressure ulcer 2 of the patient, and a silicone resin ring 1b is provided at the opening edge of the main body 1a made of a synthetic resin blow molded product or the like. It is configured to be detachably attached. The edge of the opening is curled outward so that even if the ring 1b is removed, the patient's body can be softly contacted over a wide area. Reference numeral 15 in the drawing is a handle. A nozzle mounting hole 4 is formed on the hollow cover 1 on the side opposite to the opening 3. A sewage recovery hole 5 is formed in the lower portion of the hollow cover 1, and the inner surface of the lower portion of the hollow cover 1 is inclined toward the sewage recovery hole 5.

An elastic member 13 made of rubber is attached to the nozzle mounting portion of the hollow cover 1. The nozzle mounting hole 4 is formed at the center of the elastic member 13, and radial cuts 4a are formed from the nozzle mounting hole 4 to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the nozzle. The nozzle 7 of the cleaning liquid ejecting device 6 is detachably attached to the nozzle mounting hole 4.

The cleaning device jetting device 6 has a nozzle 7 and a cleaning liquid tank 8 and is connected to an external compressor 9. The nozzle 7 sprays a cleaning liquid onto the pressure ulcer 2 of the patient, and is rotated about the central axis of the nozzle by the force of the liquid flow of the cleaning liquid. In addition, the jetting state of the cleaning liquid can be selected from shower-like, jet-like, and mist-like so that the jetting condition suitable for the condition of the affected area can be obtained. Known structures are used for the rotating structure of these nozzles and the structure capable of changing the ejection state.

One end of a waste liquid recovery pipe 10 is connected to the waste liquid recovery hole 5 of the hollow cover 1, and the other end is connected to a waste liquid recovery container 11. The mouth portion of the waste liquid collecting container 11 is tightly closed, and the suction pipe 14 of the suction pump 12 is connected thereto.

When cleaning the pressure ulcer using the apparatus of this embodiment, first, the opening 3 of the hollow cover 1 is applied to the patient to cover the pressure ulcer 2. At this time, since the silicon ring 1b is attached to the opening 3, it is possible to bring the opening 3 into close contact with the patient with relative ease and without causing the patient to feel pressure or damage. If necessary, use a towel. Next, when a cleaning liquid (for example, physiological saline) is ejected from the nozzle 7, the cleaning liquid hits the pressure ulcer 2 and the pressure ulcer is cleaned. At this time, the spouting state is selected optimally according to the pressure sore state. The cleaning liquid that hits the pressure ulcer of the patient returns to the hollow cover 1 as sewage, and flows into the sewage recovery container 11 through the sewage recovery pipe 10. At this time, since the lower portion of the hollow cover 1 is inclined toward the waste liquid collection hole 5 and the suction pump 12 is connected, the cleaning waste liquid is smoothly collected.

In this embodiment, since the elastic ring 1b is attached to the opening 3 of the hollow cover 1, it can be brought into close contact with the patient with a soft touch. Further, since the ring 1b is detachable, the ring 1b can be replaced for each patient and can be disinfected each time it is used, which is hygienic. Further, since the nozzle 7 is detachable in this embodiment, the hollow cover 1 and the nozzle 7 can be handled separately, which is convenient for disinfecting the hollow cover. It should be noted that the spray of the cleaning liquid from the nozzle may be of a manual type instead of using a compressor.

In this embodiment, since the hollow cover is provided with the handle 15, the work is easy, but the handle may be omitted. Also, it is not essential to attach a ring to the opening of the hollow container or curl the rim.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to this invention, the cleaning liquid is sprayed while the pressure ulcer is covered by the hollow cover, and the cleaning waste liquid is collected, so that the cleaning waste liquid does not scatter and the cleaning work can be performed without polluting the surroundings. Therefore, it is possible to take cleaning measures not only on the bed but at any place. Also, since the pressure cover is covered with a hollow cover, it can be easily adapted to any position of the pressure ulcer, and the patient can be moved according to the equipment like a device built in the bed, or an unreasonable posture is forced. Nothing. And since it is an extremely simple device, it can be easily used in hospitals and at home.
