JP2013-233389A

  After suffering from a disease such as cerebrovascular disorder, it is often seen that the finger part contracts in the bending direction. There are many cases where stuffiness occurs between the fingers or in the palm of the hand, and the skin is constantly moistened, and it is difficult to wash hands, so it is difficult to maintain cleanliness and the skin condition deteriorates. In addition, it is difficult to cut nail, and it may damage skin with extended nails. The range of motion of the joints is reduced by the difficulty of extending the fingers due to contracture, which is very inconvenient for daily living activities. Since it is difficult to move, the degree of contracture tends to become stronger by not moving. The presence of contracture is not only inconvenient and painful for the patient himself, but also becomes a factor that hinders the ease of care when the nursing or caregiver performs treatment.

  As a device for fingers with flexion contracture that has been marketed in the past, there are many types of skin and stick surface materials in the palm that hold a breathable stick on the palm and fit each finger into a fixed place. Due to the shape of contact with the area, countermeasures against stuffiness in the palm are often not sufficient. Also, it is difficult to put all of the contracted fingers into each fixed place.

  In addition, this type of device, when wearing it and trying to use a walker, etc., can not hold the grip part of the walker when worn, so it is necessary to grasp the walker after removing it, There was also a problem with the storage of the removed equipment.

  Conventional types of devices that maintain the joint extension state by attaching a splint to a finger tend to cause stuffiness on the contact surface between the splint and the skin. In addition, it is difficult to move joints structurally, so it is difficult to perform daily operations using fingers while wearing. It takes time to put on and take off.

  Conventional tools that use the principle of restoring force of rubber and springs to work fingers in the direction of extension state are difficult to move joints. Hateful. It takes time to put on and take off.

  In a device formed so as to cover the entire circumference of the finger joint, stuffiness is likely to occur at the contact surface between the device and the skin.

  As mentioned above, the conventional proposals lack one of the points of difficulty in stuffiness in fingers and palms, ease of wearing / removing, and ease of other daily movements when wearing. There was nothing to satisfy.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a sanitary instrument satisfying resistance to stuffiness in fingers and palms, ease of attachment / detachment, and ease of other daily operations during attachment.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, a sanitary instrument according to the present invention comprises a core portion made of a flexible material having a ring shape and the surface of the core material according to claim 1. It is comprised from the cloth-like coating | coated part which covers.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in order to achieve the object, according to the second aspect, the sanitary instrument according to the first aspect is characterized in that a part of the core portion is divided.

  In order to achieve the object, according to a third aspect of the present invention, the instrument according to the third aspect is the sanitary instrument according to any one of the first and second aspects, wherein the covering portion is removable. Features.

  According to this device, it is possible to provide a sanitary instrument that satisfies the difficulty of stuffiness in fingers and palms, ease of attachment / detachment, and ease of other daily operations during attachment.

  In addition, according to this device, it is possible to provide a sanitary instrument that satisfies ease of washing, ease of cleanliness, good touch, and low cost.

  By attaching one or more fingers to one or more fingers like a ring, it is possible to prevent or improve contracture of a finger joint of a patient such as a cerebrovascular disorder.

  This device has a thickness at the core, so that when used, adjacent fingers do not come into close contact with each other, and a gap is created between the fingers or in the palm of the hand. This improves air permeability and leads to improvement in skin condition caused by constant moistness. The thickness of the core does not have to be constant. By attaching the thickened part toward the palm, it prevents the fingertips and the palm from coming into close contact, and the nail is less likely to damage the palm skin. it can.

  This device is expected to have an effect of preventing the contracture from progressing due to the moderate force acting to extend the joint to be bent due to the height of the flexible core. If the height of the core is increased, the force that resists bending of the finger can be increased.

  This device can be combined to change the number of fingers to be worn, or can be worn by linking several to one finger, and it is easy to shift the wearing position. It is possible to adjust the wearing according to the degree of symptoms.

  Since this device is mounted so that it slides from the fingertip one finger at a time, it is easy to wear. Similarly, desorption is easy. Depending on the degree of disability, it can be put on and taken off without the help of another person.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the core portion is divided, the divided core portion and the covering portion function as an adjuster, so that even if the thickness of the finger to be attached is thick, the attachment can be performed. In addition, the diameter of the ring widens during attachment / detachment, making attachment / detachment easy.

  This device can be used to hold a walker while wearing. Since there is no need to remove it every operation, the limitation of daily life operation is reduced. There is no problem with the place to put the removed equipment.

  This device can be washed and is easy to keep clean. Since it has a simple structure and can be provided to patients at low cost, it can also be used for single use.

  This device can be used not only for fingers but also for other parts such as toes.

  Hereinafter, a sanitary instrument for fingers according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment of the sanitary instrument of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a core portion made of a flexible material having a ring shape. Reference numeral 2 denotes a covering portion, which is made of a cloth-like material that covers the surface of the core portion 1. Appearance is ring-shaped, put your fingers in the center hole. Since the core part 1 has flexibility, it can be smoothly attached even if there is a difference in the thickness of the finger, and inadvertent dropping after the attachment can be prevented.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a second embodiment of the sanitary instrument of the present invention. Reference numeral 3 denotes a divided core portion, which has a shape in which a part of the ring shape is divided. 4 is a coating | coated part. If the covering portion 4 covers the entire ring in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the outer appearance is a ring shape, and it can be used to fit on a finger. At this time, by using a stretchable material for the covering material, the dividing portion 5 of the dividing core portion 3 and the covering portion 4 work together as an adjustment function, and the fitting range for the thickness of the finger becomes wider. Have. When wearing, use the split part facing the back of your finger.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a third embodiment of the present invention. The split core portion 6 is obtained by thickening a ring-shaped part. The covering portion 7 covers the divided core portion 6 according to the shape of the thickened core portion.

  Although the example which thickened a part of parting core part was shown in the 3rd Example, it can also thicken in the form without a parting like a 1st Example. When wearing the finger, wear the thickened side toward the palm. A thickened device is inserted between the fingers and palms gripped by flexion contracture, preventing the toes and palms from colliding with each other, and the resulting gap improves the breathability in the palms and overwetting Improve skin condition and suppress deterioration of skin condition.

  The covering portion 2 to the covering portion 7 are comfortable and have a small burden on the skin due to friction, can be washed, and are made of a stretchable cloth material. An example of a cloth material having such characteristics is gauze cloth used for bandages.

  As an example of a method for attaching the covering portion to the core portion, the following four methods, A method, B method, C method, and D method, are given. The A method is a method of covering the periphery of the core portion and attaching it by sewing or the like. The B method is a method in which a belt-shaped covering portion is wound in a spiral shape while passing through a hole in the core portion. FIG. 8 shows the assembly procedure for the C method. The following description will be made assuming that the hole 12 of the core portion is directed in the vertical direction. First, as shown in the left figure of FIG. 8, the cylindrical covering part is passed through the hole 12 of the core part, and then the lower end 14 of the covering part is extended from the lower part 16 of the core part to the entire circumference of the outer ring of the core part as shown in the center figure. Wrap. Next, the covering portion upper end 13 is folded back and wound around the entire circumference of the outer ring of the core portion from the core portion upper portion 15 to cover the whole. The covering portion upper end 13 is covered with the covering portion lower end 14 and a part of the covering portion is overlapped. The right figure is a completed drawing, and is a view of the state where the wrapping is finished from the up and down direction, as viewed obliquely from above. In the case of the C method, it is desirable that the upper and lower ends of the covering portion are stretched by attaching a rubber string so that the winding is not unraveled, and the fiber is not unraveled. The D method is a method in which the core portion is passed through the slit of the dividing portion through the hole in the elongated cylindrical covering portion. An annular shape is formed by overlapping one end with the other end. Also in the case of the D method, the upper and lower ends of the covering portion are stretched by attaching a rubber string or the like and end-treated so as not to unravel the fibers.

  There are A method, B method, C method, and the like for attaching the covering portion 2 to the core portion 1. The A method is suitable for the disposable method. B-type and C-type instruments are each suitable for repeated use such as washing, and by replacing only the covering material, it is easy to keep clean and the patient's financial burden is reduced.

  In the third embodiment, there are A method, C method, D method, and the like as methods for attaching the covering portion 7 to the divided core portion 6. The A method is suitable for the disposable method. The C method and the D method are suitable for repeated use methods such as washing, and it is easy to keep clean by replacing only the covering material, and the patient's financial burden is reduced.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of use in which a plurality of sanitary instruments of the present invention are mounted in combination. The thickness of the sanitary instrument 9 enters between adjacent fingers 10, and a gap 11 is created between the fingers, thereby preventing excessive wetting and improving the skin condition. The recommended method of use is to put hygiene equipment on every other finger, such as a combination of “mother finger, middle finger, little finger”.

  FIG. 7 also shows an example in which a plurality of instruments are attached to one finger. When a plurality of sanitary instruments are attached to one finger, the force to resist gripping is strengthened, that is, it is expected to suppress the progression of flexion contracture by acting on the finger joint in the extending direction. . Further, since the tip of the finger 10 is less likely to hit the palm, the skin can be less likely to be damaged.

  As another example, when multiple devices are used in one hand, the devices are tied together using a string or the like in advance to prevent loss and prevent accidental eating by patients with dementia. Preventive effect is expected.
