Description

The present invention relates to an inguinal hernia belt. In particular, the present invention relates to an inguinal hernia belt that can easily change the force and range of pressing the hernia.

When the intestine protrudes due to an inguinal hernia and the affected part swells, it is necessary to attach an inguinal hernia belt and press the bulged part so that the intestine does not protrude.
Conventionally, various structures have been proposed for belts for alleviating symptoms of inguinal hernia.

One example is a combination of a belt that goes around the waist and a protective plate that faces the abdomen. The protective plate prevents the affected area from expanding, stops the progression of the disease, and aims to reduce pain. Is. (Patent Document 1).

In this example, the conventional technique of constricting the affected area with a conical shape causes pain to the patient. Therefore, the contact point of the affected area is changed to a large area, and the pressure equal to the pressure of the abdominal abdomen is maintained to the affected area and its surroundings. Although it was devised to maintain the balance of the abdominal pressure of the entire abdomen including, the force to press the affected part was dispersed and it was difficult to suppress the swelling.

As another example, a structure has been proposed in which an affected part of an inguinal hernia is pressed easily and reliably by using a rubber pressing part connected with metal fittings for mutually connecting belts. (Patent Document 2)

This technology aims at pressing the affected part with a circular convex pressing part at the center of the triangular rubber, but the length of the belt and the position of the pressing part and the affected part each time it is worn It was cumbersome to adjust the position, and it was easy to be displaced by the movement of the patient's body even after wearing.

An example will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a sketch diagram showing a wearing state of an inguinal hernia belt 1 according to the present invention as viewed from the front. The long broken line is the silhouette of the human body. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the inguinal hernia belt 1 includes a waist belt 10, a right crotch belt 21, a left crotch belt 22, an abdomen faceplate 3, and a pressing pad 4.

The abdominal face plate 3 has a size covering the lower abdomen including the patient's groin, is pressed against the lower abdomen, and is fixed to the patient by a waist belt 10 wound around the waist. Even if there is an affected part on the left or right, it is possible to cope.

Both ends of the waist belt 10 are sewn to the outer side surface (the side that does not touch the skin) of the waist belt folded portion 12 to be folded after passing through the waist belt engaging portions 11 installed at the left and right ends of the abdominal face plate 3. It is fixed to the outer surface of the waist belt 10 with Velcro (registered trademark).

By adjusting the length of the waist belt folded portion 12, it can be adjusted to the physique of the patient.

The left and right crotch belts 21 and 22 connect the left and right lower ends of the abdominal face plate 3 and the back part of the waist belt 10 through the crotch, respectively, and are fixed to the patient's lower abdomen while suppressing the abdominal face plate 3 from floating. Is helping.

The crotch belts 21 and 22 are connected to two places on the abdominal face plate 3 by a crotch belt locking part 23 and two places on the back part of the waist belt 10 by a crotch belt locking part 24, respectively. The crotch belts 21 and 22 are attached to the outer side surfaces of the crotch belts 21 and 22 with Velcro (registered trademark) sewn on the outer side surfaces of the crotch belt folded-back portions 25 that are folded back through the respective crotch belt locking portions 23. Fixed.

By adjusting the lengths of the folded portions 25 of the two inseam belts, it is possible to match the physique of the patient.

The abdomen faceplate 3 is manufactured by trimming the interlining or the like with a thin plastic material, leather material, woven fabric material, or the like, and has a slight hardness. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a flexible fabric or the like may be used. The inner surface of the abdominal face plate 3 that touches the skin is comfortable to touch, and at the same time, the male surface of the Velcro (registered trademark) (registered trademark) is piled.

The inner surface of the waist belt 10 that touches the skin is made of a woven material such as cotton pile so that the touch is good. Further, the outer surface is made of magic weave so that the male surface of Velcro (registered trademark) attached to the same outer surface can be adhered. However, the material is not limited to cotton pile.

The left and right crotch belts 21 and 22 are made of the same material as the waist belt 10. The same applies to the outer side of the magic weave.

FIG. 2 is a sketch of the pressing pad 4. FIG. 2A is a diagram showing that the surface that contacts the skin is parallel to the paper surface (this is referred to as a plan view), and FIG. 2B shows that the surface that contacts the skin is perpendicular to the paper surface. It is a figure (this is called side view).

As shown in FIG. 2, the pressing pad 4 has an elliptical shape in plan view and a thickness d in side view. The pressing pad 4 is manufactured by stitching together two oval and one rectangular width woven fabric materials, and has an empty bag shape inside. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the elliptical surface on one side is divided into two parts, and constitutes a mating portion 41 that partially overlaps.

The press pad 4 is opened by opening the mating portion 41 from the outside, and the sponge pad 43, which is slightly smaller than the outer shape of the press pad 4, is inserted and installed inside the bag shape with the mating portion 41 as the entrance. Can do.

The sponge plate 43 can be installed by inserting one or more sponge plates 43 inside the bag made by the pressing pad 4. In this embodiment, three sponge plates 43 are provided.

Further, in order to bond the pressing pad 4 to the abdomen faceplate 3, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a pressing pad bonding portion 42 made of Velcro (registered trademark) is sewn on the side where the mating portion 41 is present. It has been.

FIG. 3 is a view of the abdomen face plate 3 as viewed from a direction parallel to the face plate. The pressing pad 4 is fixed to the inner side surface (upper side in FIG. 3) of the abdominal face plate 3 by using a pressing pad bonding portion 42 made of a male surface of Velcro (registered trademark) shown in FIG. (In FIG. 3, the waist belt 10 and the crotch belt locking portion 23 are omitted for the sake of simplicity.) That is, when attached to the patient, the abdominal face plate 3, the pressing pad 4, and the patient in order from the outside. Become the abdomen.

At this time, the two portions of the mating portion 41 of the pressing pad 4 are simultaneously bonded and hidden by the bonding surface between the abdominal face plate 3 and the pressing pad 4, so that the sponge plate 43 installed inside is carelessly removed. There is no going out.

In the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, one pressing pad 4 is attached to the lower abdomen of the patient's right side (left side when viewed in FIG. 1), selecting a position facing the affected area.

Since the abdomen face plate 3 can be fixed at a fixed position on the lower abdomen of the patient, the position of the press pad 4 with respect to the lower abdomen of the patient is always constant if the position at which the press pad 4 is fixed to the abdomen face plate 3 is constant. This is less troublesome and easier to use than the method of aligning according to the length of the belt.

The thickness, number, and hardness of the sponge plate 43 installed inside the pressing pad 4 can be selected according to the required pressing force according to the symptom and the patient's preference. Therefore, the pressing force on the affected area can be easily changed according to changes in the medical condition and the patient's preference.

Moreover, the shape of the pressing pad 4 in a plan view is not limited to an ellipse, and any shape that presses a range according to the symptom, such as a circle, can be used.

According to the present invention, it was possible to provide an inguinal hernia belt that can surely press the affected part with a necessary force, is easy to be worn at the same time, is not easily displaced, and is comfortable to wear.

In the present invention, the pressing pad can be used not only for inguinal hernia but also for a stoma hernia belt.
