Description

  The present invention relates to a lymphedema treatment belt, abdominal pad for lymphedema treatment, a genital pad for treatment of lymphedema, and a crotch pad for treatment of lymphedema for the purpose of reducing swelling due to lymphedema.

  In general, lymphedema is considered to have various causes, but it is often caused by obstruction of lymphatic vessels mainly due to removal of lymph nodes by cancer surgery or damage of lymphatic vessels by radiation irradiation. When the lymphatics that store the lymph are blocked, the lymph circulation is inhibited and the lymph stays in the subcutaneous tissue, causing edema.

  As a treatment to relieve swelling due to lymphedema, pharmacotherapy is not expected to be effective immediately, and the swelling is lifted, moved, or stimulated (lymphatic massage, etc.) to reduce swelling. In order to maintain a state, the thing which presses this affected part and improves the flow of lymph is known.

  There are various elastic stockings or elastic sleeves used for such treatment. Further, some of such elastic stockings or elastic sleeves are provided with a plurality of belts in the main body (for example, Patent Document 1), and by tightening these belts, a swollen affected part is added from the outside. Squeezing and relieving swelling by improving lymph flow.

At this time, since the stitches 31 of the cushions 33 and 34 are in the vertical direction as described above, the flow of the lymph fluid is improved by assisting the flow of the lymph fluid in the direction of arrow F, that is, the heart direction.

  For example, if a lateral seam is provided on the cushions 33 and 34, the surfaces of the cushions 33 and 34 are uneven in the lateral direction, which may impede the flow of lymph. Further, if no seam is provided, the urethane foam in the cushions 33 and 34 may be biased, resulting in lateral unevenness. Therefore, in the abdominal pad 30 for treating lymphedema, the seam is provided only in the vertical direction.

  Further, the cushions 33 and 34 are formed in the same shape, that is, when the patient wears the abdominal pad 30 for treating this lymphedema, it is not necessary to select the front and back.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the above-described bag portion 36 has an appropriate size in consideration of the size of the patient's hand, but it goes without saying that it can be used in the same manner as long as at least a finger can be inserted. .

  According to the abdominal pad 30 for treatment of lymphedema described above, the female patient, in particular, attaches to the inner side of the seat portion 23A of the belt 20A for treatment of lymphedema, thereby increasing the pressure on the lower abdomen 101 of the patient. At the same time, since the seam oriented in the vertical direction pressurizes in a direction that improves the flow without inhibiting the flow of lymph, the flow of the lymph in the lower abdomen 101 can be made better and the accumulation of the lymph is prevented. Can relieve swelling. Further, two cushions 33 and 34 formed in accordance with the shape of the patient's lower abdomen 101 are sewn into a bag shape so as to open upward, and a hand is inserted into the opening 32. Since it can be mounted, it can be easily positioned and mounted easily.

  The abdominal pad 30 for treating lymphedema according to the second embodiment described above is used in combination with the belt 20A for treating lymphedema, and the patient's medical condition is particularly severe (especially in the lower abdomen). It is suitable for use, and does not stand out even when worn, and the patient's lower abdomen 101 and groin 104 can be pressurized in a direction to improve the flow of lymph, and swelling can be relieved.

  Further, in the abdominal pad 30 for treating lymphedema according to the second embodiment, the cushion 33, 34 has been described as being formed by being filled with urethane foam. In other words, any material may be used as long as it is a breathable, skin-friendly material and can apply surface pressure.

  As in the first embodiment, when the lymphedema treatment belt 20B is attached, the waist belt portion 21 is wound and positioned with respect to the waist portion 103, and the hook 24 of the pressure belt portion 22 is positioned. , 24, the bifurcated portion 22c pressurizes the lower abdomen 101 through the inguinal portion 104. The lower portion of the seat portion 23B presses and supports the shadow 111 in the inner side in the left-right direction of the body indicated by the arrow I direction, and the upper portion presses the lower abdomen 101 in the arrow J direction. For this reason, it is necessary to press the inside of the dorsum 111 to the right and left sides and support it by pressing the inside appropriately. For example, when the thigh is swollen, it is squeezed by the thigh that is swollen. In addition to preventing the lymph fluid in the lower abdomen 101 and the inguinal region 104, pressurize uniformly so as to prevent the lymph fluid from accumulating in the subcutaneous tissue, and improve the flow of the lymph fluid toward the heart.

  According to the male lymphedema treatment belt 20B described above, the lower part of the seat part 23B presses and supports the vulva 111 inward in the lateral direction of the body, and the upper part passes the lower abdomen 101 to the flow of lymph. Since the sheet portion 23B is formed in a cup shape as a whole so as to pressurize in a favorable direction, particularly when a male patient wears the lymphedema treatment belt 20B, the vulva 111 is pushed outward. For example, when the thigh is swollen, it is prevented from being pressed by the swollen thigh when the thigh is swollen, and the lymph fluid in the lower abdomen 101 and the groin 104 is supported. The flow of blood can be improved, the accumulation of lymph can be prevented, and swelling can be relieved.

  The lymphedema treatment belt 20B according to the fourth embodiment described above is suitable for use when the patient's medical condition is severe.

<Embodiment 5>
Next, a fifth embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing when the groin pad for lymphedema treatment according to the fifth embodiment is mounted, and FIG. 9 is a front view showing the groin pad for lymphedema treatment according to the fifth embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the crotch part pad 50 for treating lymphedema is suitable for use by a male patient wearing the lymphedema treating belt 20B according to the above-described fourth embodiment. The upper portion 57A of the cushion 57 is formed so as to have a cup shape when mounted, and the lower portion 57B is formed in a shape extending integrally with the upper portion 57A.

  Specifically, the upper portion 57A of the cushion 57 is formed in a substantially fan shape in a plan view generally matching the shape of the lower abdomen 101 and the shadow 111 of the patient 100, and the lower portion 57B is approximately the crotch portion of the patient 100. It is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view according to the shape of 112, in other words, formed in accordance with the shape of the sheet portion 23B and the intermediate merging portion 22b of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B. The cushion 57 is formed by filling urethane foam inside, and has a vertical seam 58 which is substantially vertical in the upper part 57A and substantially in the front-rear direction of the lower part 57B when worn. It is formed so that the internal urethane foam does not deviate, and a convex shape is formed between the seam 58 and the seam 58, that is, the vertical hook shape is formed in parallel. Yes. Further, a magic tape (registered trademark) portion (detachable portion) 59 is provided near the tip of the lower portion 57B of the cushion 57. In addition, a magic tape (registered trademark) portion (not shown) is provided on the inner side of the intermediate joining portion 22b of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B at a position facing the magic tape (registered trademark) portion 59 at the time of wearing, That is, both are detachable.

  Note that the seam 58 in FIG. 9 is displayed in a shape that is curved in the vertical direction at the upper part of the cushion 57, but this is a result of display as a plan view, so that it becomes a cup shape when worn. As shown in FIG. 8, the seam 58 is substantially in the vertical direction at the upper part of the cushion 57, and the lower part of the cushion 57 in close contact with the intermediate junction 22b is substantially in the front-rear direction of the body.

  When wearing the groin pad 50 for treating lymphedema, first, the patient 100 places the abdomen pad 50 for treating lymphedema inside the seat portion 23B and the intermediate junction 22b of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B. Then, the magic tape (registered trademark) portion 59 of the cushion 57 is attached to the magic tape (registered trademark) portion (not shown) inside the intermediate joining portion 22b of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B. Thereafter, when the patient wears the lymphedema treatment belt 20B, the lower part 57B of the cushion 57 is between the patient's crotch part 112 and the intermediate joining part 22b, and the cushion 57 is between the patient's lower abdomen part 101 and the seat part 23B. The upper portion 57A is mounted.

  As a result, the upper part 57A of the cushion 57 of the groin pad 50 for treating lymphedema is pulled stronger in the direction of the arrow L by the pressurization (tension) of the seat part 23B of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B. While pressurizing, the lower part 57B of the cushion 57 of the crotch part pad 50 for lymphedema treatment is pressed against the intermediate join part 22b by the intermediate join part 22b of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B to pressurize the crotch part 112. At this time, since the stitches 58 of the cushion 57 are in the vertical direction as described above, the flow of the lymph fluid in the direction of the arrow L, that is, in the direction of the heart, assisting the flow of the lymph fluid in the lower abdomen 101, In the crotch part 112, since the stitches 58 of the cushion 57 are in the front-rear direction of the body, the flow of the lymph fluid is improved by assisting the flow of the lymph fluid in the direction of the arrow MN. In addition, the vulva 111 is pressed and supported more strongly in the lateral direction of the body to prevent the vulva 111 from being pressed by the swollen thigh, for example. Furthermore, since the Velcro tape (registered trademark) portion 59 can maintain the attachment state to the intermediate junction portion 22b, it is possible to prevent the patient from falling off when removing the lymphedema treatment belt 20B for stool or the like. it can.

  As in the second and third embodiments described above, for example, if a lateral seam is provided in the cushion of the groin pad 50 for treating lymphedema, lateral unevenness is created on the surface. There is a risk of inhibiting the flow of lymph. Also, if no seam is provided, the urethane foam in the cushion may be biased, resulting in lateral unevenness. Therefore, also in the groin pad 50 for treating lymph edema, the seam is provided only in the longitudinal direction.

  According to the groin pad 50 for treating lymphedema described above, a male patient wears inside the seat portion 23B of the lymphedema treatment belt 20B, so that the patient's vulva 111 is moderately added to the inside. For example, the vulva 111 is prevented from being pressed by the thighs that are swollen, and the pressurization to the lower abdomen 101 is further strengthened, and the seam 58 oriented in the vertical direction inhibits the flow of lymph. Since the pressure is applied in a direction to improve the flow, the flow of lymph in the lower abdomen 101 can be improved, the accumulation of lymph can be prevented, and swelling can be eased.

  In addition, in this Embodiment 5, although what was formed by stuffing urethane foam inside the cushion 57 was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, For example, cotton etc. may be used, that is, it has air permeability. Any material that is gentle to the skin and that can apply a surface pressure may be used.
