[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an excrement storage device for mounting on an affected area on the surface of a human body and for storing various excretions discharged from the human body through the affected area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art People who have feces, urinary incontinence, surgical operation due to diseases of digestive system, urinary system organs, who guide the intestine and ureter to the body surface and who have a stoma on the body surface, or other A person who has a fistula formed on the body surface due to a disease processes excrements such as feces, urine, and body fluids discharged from the stoma or fistula (hereinafter referred to as an opening of the human body) formed or formed, An excrement storage device that can temporarily store excrement is attached to an opening in the human body. This excrement storage brace is composed of a face plate formed so as to be adhesively fixed around the opening of the human body, and a bag body connected to the side opposite to the skin contact side of the face plate. The most common structure is to store an item in a bag. In this type of bodily waste storage device, the stoma that has been built and the fistula that has been formed are affected areas, so it is sometimes necessary to observe their condition and treat the open hole as necessary. for that reason,
By the applicant of the present invention, a brace having a hole having a plastic cap that can be opened and closed at a portion facing the opening of the bag body and opening the cap as necessary to expose the opening of the human body so that observation or treatment can be performed. Proposed (Actual development 60-
No. 192817).

[0003]

In the above-mentioned appliance, since the plastic cap is projected on the surface of the bag body, there is a feeling of discomfort in mounting, and since the liquid-tightness and air-tightness with respect to excrement are required, the cap is opened and closed. The mechanism must have a high degree of fitability, the momentum structure must be complicated, opening and closing operations are not easy, and the price is high. Further, once the cap is opened, the entire area thereof is opened, so that the entire area of the human body opening is also exposed to the outside.
Human apertures are sensitive lesions, and it is desirable to keep them shielded and protected from the external environment as much as possible except for the minimum necessary area, but this is not possible with caps. Further, in the conventional cap structure, even if the cap is opened, the cap is connected to the bag body and hangs around, and it cannot be removed from the bag body, which is an obstacle to observation or treatment. Furthermore, the size and shape of the human body's openings are different,
With a structure such as a plastic cap, it is difficult to manufacture corresponding to each opening in terms of cost. An object of the present invention is to provide an excrement storage device which has a simple structure, does not feel uncomfortable to wear, and can be observed or treated only by exposing a human body to a minimum necessary amount of an opening formed in the external environment. To do.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a face plate to be attached to an affected part of the body surface, and a bag body fixed to the non-skin side of the face plate. , An opening is provided on the side opposite to the face plate of the bag body at a position facing the affected part in the mounted state, and the opening can be opened and closed by a hermetically sealed fastener, and at least one side of the fastener
Along the line, the opening can be deformed and deformed to any degree of opening
A member that can maintain the state is provided .

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, two plastic films are joined together at their peripheral edges to form a bag, and the plastic film on the side opposite to the face plate is hermetically sealed at the portion raised from the film itself. It is advantageous to provide a fastener. As a hermetically-sealing fastener, a mechanism in which parts facing each other are formed on a plastic film forming a bag, and the parts are fitted to each other, for example, one groove is formed and the other is formed into a protrusion to form a groove. It is possible to use a mechanism in which the ridge is fitted.

Along at least one side of the fastener
As a member that can be deformed and can hold the deformed state,
It is advantageous to use twist ties.

The orientation of the opening is arbitrary, but depending on the shape of the bag body, it should be selected at a position that faces the opening of the human body and that the effective diameter when the opening is opened is as large as possible. It is advantageous. For example, in the case of a vertically long bag, when the vertically long bag is tilted with respect to the horizontal direction to form the opening, the effective diameter can be made larger than that of the horizontally arranged opening. Further, the manufacturing process is simple if both ends of the opening are arranged so as to straddle the peripheral edge of the bag body, but the manufacturing process can be made somewhat complicated by placing the openings at positions not straddling the peripheral edge of the bag body.
