Description

The present invention relates to a skin trouble prevention tool for an ear hook member, which is formed so as to eliminate a skin trouble caused by contact with an ear by an ear hook member such as an oxygen inhalation cannula.

Conventionally, the cannula used for oxygen inhalation and the mask string for oxygen inhalation are always in contact with the base of the ear during use, so this type of ear hook member causes the wearer to hurt the skin at the base of the ear. There were times when I became or was sore.

In particular, medical devices such as cannulas can be life-threatening if they are not attached properly, so they are often stretched strongly and firmly against the ears so that they will not shift when worn. Therefore, in the past, the cannula bite into the skin, and after a long period of time, the inflammation worsened, and sometimes an ulcer occurred.

In such cases, some patients may be unable to use their hands, be unconscious, or complain of distress even if they want to loosen the cannula.
In addition, the cannula is liable to bite when the caregiver changes position or the patient himself moves his / her head, and is liable to cause skin troubles.

And to avoid this kind of trouble, if you wear it loosely, the tip of the cannula will fall out of the nasal cavity, and in the case of an oxygen inhalation mask, the mask will shift or come off, and oxygen cannot be supplied reliably. Become.

Therefore, in order to solve this kind of problem, for example, there is a method of wrapping a soft cloth or the like around the cannula and fixing it with an adhesive tape or the like. However, in this case, it is often not possible to quickly remove the cloth, etc. after use. For example, if the cloth or tape is wet with exudate, it will be difficult to peel off, and the adhesive tape attached may cause skin problems. It was. In this case, even if the patient tries to use the scissors, if the patient suddenly moves, there is a risk of causing an accident such as a stab injury.

Thus, conventionally, as a tool of this type, for example, the one described in Patent Document 1 is known. This conventional product is formed in a spiral tube with a wide resin tape, and is used by covering the mask string so as to wrap the mask string.

Therefore, in this conventional product, the pressure on the skin can be reduced by the elasticity of the resin tape, but since the main body is made of resin, the touch is poor.
Further, this conventional product has a problem that it is difficult to prevent damage and inflammation because the thickness of the tape determines the softness and oppressive feeling on the skin and the cushion state cannot be adjusted appropriately on site.

This is because it can be installed quickly and easily.

Further, in the case of the present invention, it is preferable that the above broken line is formed in a state where a cut 5a is formed at the edge of the nonwoven fabric 3. (Claim 4).

This is because, in this case, the separation becomes easy and the separation can be performed quickly and surely.

The present invention is formed of non-woven fabrics that can be cut off by hand in this way.
Therefore, in the present invention, unlike the conventional product, the tube feels better on the skin than when it comes into direct contact with the ear, and the feeling of pressure on the skin can be suppressed. Therefore, according to this, pain, inflammation, etc. Can prevent skin troubles.

Further, the non-woven fabrics of the present invention are formed so as to be freely cut by hand.
Therefore, in the case of the present invention, the number of windings can be adjusted on-site according to the thickness of the ear hook member, the condition of the patient's skin, and the like. Therefore, according to this, there is an advantage that the cushioning property and the soft feeling can be easily adjusted, and the usability is improved.

Further, in the present invention, a double-sided tape for preventing unraveling after wrapping around a portion in contact with the ear is attached to the back surface along one end edge.
Therefore, the present invention can be easily and quickly fixed by peeling off the other release paper of the double-sided tape and pressing the open end side against the surface of the non-woven fabric immediately before the completion of winding.

Further, in the present invention, a cutting means used for cutting the non-woven fabric when removing the non-woven fabric from the ear hook member is formed at a position on the back surface inside the double-sided tape in the vicinity of the double-sided tape.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a practically excellent effect that it can be easily, quickly, and safely removed from the ear hook member without the need for scissors or the like.
