Description

  The present invention relates to a glove that prevents body restraint.

Currently, the law prohibits body restraints in principle for inpatients and elderly people requiring care (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “patients”).
For example, the Ordinance of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare restricts physical restraint and other residents' behaviors in welfare and health facilities for the elderly, unless it is urgently necessary to protect the lives or bodies of residents or other residents. Don't do anything. Moreover, it is stipulated that when physical restraint or the like is performed, the mode and time, the mental and physical condition of the resident at that time, and the urgent reason must be recorded.

In addition to causing physical harm to patients, such as joint contracture, muscular strength, energy, appetite, and reduced resistance to infections, physical restraint is also anxiety, anger, humiliation, giving up, and reduced willingness to live Social evils such as guilt, confusion, distress, regret to family members who have seen physical restraints, etc., and morale declines in nursing and nursing staff It has been reported to bring about.
However, in hospitals and nursing homes, patients inadvertently or carelessly remove tubes such as infusions or tube feedings, scratch their own skin to scratch them, and other accidents caused by falls or falls Considering the occurrence of various dangerous behaviors such as food accidents, there has been a history of performing body restraint as one of assistive technologies only in the case of urgent necessity from the viewpoint of ensuring the safety of patients and the like.

As an example of body restraint, there is an act of wearing a mittens-type glove that restricts the function of fingers. Conventionally, various inventions have been made regarding such a glove.
For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a bifurcated glove for the thumb and the remaining four fingers, and Patent Documents 3 to 6 disclose a glove that integrally accommodates all five fingers. It is disclosed.
Moreover, as gloves other than the mittens type, Patent Documents 7 and 8 disclose ones each having a shape that individually accommodates five fingers similar to ordinary gloves.

Among the above patent documents, the gloves of Patent Documents 1, 2, 7 and 8 are provided with a rod-like or spherical member (hereinafter referred to as “gripping part”) separately from the glove body, and when a finger is inserted into the glove, The gripping portion is lightly gripped with the palm of the hand.
By using the gripping part, free movements such as flexing fingers and moving them up and down, left and right are restricted, so it is possible to prevent the act of removing the tube or scratching the body to some extent. Compared to the type of gloves, there is less sense of discomfort restrained, and rather you can get a sense of positively grasping the gripping part with your own will, this leads to a certain level of security and does not feel much mental pain There is an advantage that it is sufficient. In addition, the state in which the grasping part is grasped can be maintained in an intermediate position between the state in which the fingers are fully opened and the state in which the hand is grasped.

JP 2001-73209 A Utility Model Registration No. 3167417 Utility Model Registration No. 3138401 JP 2009-108431 A Utility Model Registration No. 3114379 JP 2011-132610 A JP 2007-119985 A JP 2000-342614 A

However, the gloves described in the above-mentioned patent documents have the following problems.
That is, in the mittens-type gloves of Patent Documents 1 to 6, since at least four fingers other than the thumb are integrally accommodated, the operation of bending each finger independently and moving it up and down, left and right is limited. There is a problem, and there is a problem that the fingers and palms are stuffy and give the patient discomfort.

Further, in the glove of Patent Document 7, the gripping part is fully sewn from the tip of each finger to the vicinity of the wrist, and in the glove of Patent Document 8, the gripping part is sewn from the first joint of the four fingers other than the thumb to the palm. It is attached. The gloves of Patent Documents 7 and 8 do not fall under the above-mentioned physical restraint because each finger is accommodated independently, but when each finger is bent or moved in the vertical and horizontal directions, The operation is restricted by the sewn gripping part, and there is a problem that a sense of restraint of fingers is given to a patient or the like. In addition, there is a problem that the touch of the palm is lost because the gripping part and the palm are in close contact with each other, and there is also a problem that the finger and the palm are easily stuffy because the contact area is large.
Furthermore, since the gripping part is sewn on the palm, the handrail of the bed cannot be gripped by the palm, and it becomes difficult for the patient to wake up from the bed or to get down from the bed. There has been a problem that the daily life such as such is remarkably restricted.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove that prevents body stuffiness by making it less likely to cause stuffiness, increasing the degree of freedom of finger movement, and reducing the functional limitations of the finger.

The glove bag of the present invention includes a finger part that individually accommodates each of the five fingers of the hand, a main body part that accommodates the palm and the back of the hand, and a grip part. Joining to the lower side of the gripping part, and joining only the fingertips of the four fingers other than the thumb among the finger parts to the upper side of the gripping part, the gap between the palm side of the main body part and the gripping part It is characterized by providing a space.
In addition, an opening is provided on the palm side of the main body.
Further, a belt is provided near the wrist of the main body.

According to the glove of the present invention, each of the five fingers is individually accommodated and only the tip portion of each finger is joined to the grip portion, and a space is provided between the grip portion and the palm side of the main body portion. Therefore, the operation of bending each finger independently or moving in the vertical and horizontal directions is not easily restricted. Therefore, compared with the case where the gripping part is attached in close contact with the palm side as in the prior art, it is possible to minimize the feeling of restraint and discomfort of the fingers given to the patient or the like.
Moreover, since the air permeability on each finger and the palm side can be sufficiently secured by providing the space, the occurrence of stuffiness can be suppressed.
Also, by providing a space, it is possible to maintain the tactile sensation of the palm and bring a sense of security to the patient, etc., the patient etc. can grasp the handrail of the bed with the palm, etc. And the like, and physical adverse effects such as muscle weakness can be prevented.

As described above, the glove of the present invention is not only less susceptible to stuffiness, but also has a greater degree of freedom of finger movement than before, and reduces the functional limitations of the fingers. It is possible to realize nursing / nursing without physical restraint and without physical restraint.
In addition, by providing an opening on the palm side of the main body, the touch of the palm can be increased to the same level as when a glove is not fitted, and the breathability of the palm can be further increased to prevent athlete's foot.
By using the belt, it is possible to stabilize the movement of the hand and prevent the hand from falling off.
