Description

The present invention applies to colonoscopy perforated pants and colonoscopy perforated pants worn by patients during colonoscopy performed in examinations and treatments such as colon cancer screening and scrutiny. It relates to a protective body for perforated pants for colonoscopy that can be worn.

Colonoscopy is a test in which a scope tube is inserted through the anus to examine the condition inside the large intestine, and if there is excrement in the large intestine, it is not possible to examine the exact condition, so laxatives and bowel irrigation are performed as pretreatment. Do this after taking the drug and producing excrement in the large intestine.
This colonoscopy is performed while sending a small amount of air or washing water so that the condition inside the large intestine can be easily grasped and the scope tube can be moved smoothly.
In the case of patients with insufficient pretreatment or patients who are in urgent need due to melena, etc., excrement may be left in the large intestine, so the large intestine is sent together with the air sent into the large intestine during the examination. Internal excrement, blood, gas, etc. (hereinafter referred to as excrement, etc.) may be vigorously released to the outside of the body.

For colonoscopy, the patient wears trunks-type pants made of non-woven, non-absorbable material. These pants have a notch with a size of about 20 cm for inserting the scope tube of the colonoscope at the position corresponding to the anus. In addition, since these pants are trunks type, a large space is formed between the patient's buttocks and thighs.

In the case of a patient with insufficient pretreatment or an urgent need, excrement in the large intestine is released to the outside of the body together with the air sent during the examination, and the patient's body and pants It may leak into the space between. This outflow alone is unpleasant for the patient, and excrement or the like may flow out from the notch to the outside and scatter and adhere to the examination table, examination peripherals, doctors, and nurses.
Moreover, in colonoscopy, the patient's position may be changed in order to better understand the condition inside the large intestine. As a result, excrement that had flowed out or scattered on the examination table may adhere not only to the area around the buttocks but also to the back and abdomen not covered with pants, which was very unpleasant.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned release of excrement and the like to the outside of the body does not occur only in patients who have undergone sufficient pretreatment, but may also occur in patients who have undergone sufficient pretreatment.

The outflow of excrement is not only unpleasant for the patient, but also the bacteria and new corona excreted in the stool by examination equipment such as an examination table after colonoscopy, doctors and nurses who performed the examination. Not only can it cause infections such as viral infections, but it also requires cleaning and disinfection.

In order to solve such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-237913 states that "an underwear-type pants made of an absorbent material is provided with a cut so that a colonoscopy scope tube can be taken in and out, and the circumference of the cut is provided. Reinforced, underwear-type pants Colonoscopy pants with elastic thighs and elastic tape to prevent the outflow of excrement and gathers. ] Is disclosed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-237913

These colonoscopy pants are, so to speak, ordinary disposable diapers provided with a cut that allows the colonoscopy scope tube to be inserted and removed.
Therefore, with these colonoscopy pants, the released excrement and the like flow out not only around the anus but also to the entire buttocks.
This is unpleasant for the patient, and it takes time to clean up after the colonoscopy. In particular, excrement contains pathogens such as viruses, parasites, bacteria, and fungi, and these are aerosols. In the case of virus, the pathogen may be easily spread in the examination room and cause environmental pollution at the time of infection or cleaning of the examination doctor or nurse due to the outflow or scattering of excrement or the like.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and during colonoscopy, even if excrement or the like flows out from the patient's anus, the discomfort given to the patient is minimized, and the examination table and examination are performed. Perforated pants for colonoscopy and the large intestine that eliminate the risk of adhering to peripheral devices, examination doctors, and nurses, and do not cause environmental pollution even when excrement contains pathogens. It is intended to provide a protective body to be attached to perforated pants for endoscopy.

The perforated pants for colonoscopy according to the present invention are perforated pants for colonoscopy worn by a patient undergoing a colonoscopy performed by inserting a scope tube of the colonoscopy through the anus. Therefore, it was attached to the pants body having a pants-side opening into which the scope tube of the colonoscope was inserted at a portion corresponding to the anus, and to the inner surface side of the pants body so as to cover the pants-side opening. A protective body is provided, and the protective body has a protective body-side opening at a position communicating with the pants-side opening, and has a first layer that absorbs liquids, excrement, etc., and a first layer that collects fine particles. It has a two-layer structure with two layers.

In the case of the perforated pants for colonoscopy according to the present invention, even if excrement or the like leaks from the anus during the colonoscopy, it leaks to the outside of the perforated pants for colonoscopy by the protective body. It never comes out. For this reason, even if the patient changes his / her body position during the examination, the risk of adhering to the examination equipment such as the examination table is significantly reduced, the patient is not discomforted, and the labor of cleaning and disinfecting after the examination is reduced. Can be done.

In addition, since the protective body is made of a material that has the effect of reducing pathogens such as viruses, even if the excrement contains pathogens such as viruses, it spreads to the outside of the perforated pants for colonoscopy. Since the virus is prevented from being polluted, the safety of patients, doctors, and nurses can be ensured, and the labor of cleaning and disinfecting after the examination can be reduced.

The perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy according to the embodiment of the present invention is a colonoscopy worn by a patient undergoing a colonoscopy performed by inserting a scope tube 500 of the colonoscopy through the anus. Pants body 100 that is perforated pants for microscopic examination and has a pants side opening 110 into which a colonoscopic scope tube 500 is inserted at a position corresponding to the anus, and the pants side opening of the pants body 100. A protective body 200 mounted on the inner surface side so as to cover the 110 is provided, and the protective body 200 has a protective body side opening 230 opened at a position communicating with the pants side opening 110, and liquids and excrement. It has a two-layer structure consisting of a first layer 210 that absorbs such particles and a second layer 220 that collects fine particles.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the pants body 100 constituting the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy has a waist portion 120, a hip portion 130, and a thigh portion so as to be compatible with patients of all body types. The length 140 is gently configured, and the inseam is set to a length slightly below the knee. Further, the waist portion 120 is stretchable with a rubber string or the like.
A vertically long pants-side opening 110 is provided at the center of the hip portion 130 of the pants body 100, that is, a portion corresponding to the anus. The pants-side opening 110 is provided over a length of about 20 cm in the vertical direction so as to accommodate patients of all body types.
A cover 150 is provided from the waist portion 120 so as to hang down so as to cover the pants-side opening 110 in order to reduce the shame of the patient.
Further, the pants body 100 is made of a non-woven fabric.

The protective body 200 is attached to the inner surface side of the pants body 100 so as to cover the pants side opening 110. The protective body 200 has a size that covers at least the buttocks and is formed in a sheet shape.

The protective body 200 has a two-layer structure consisting of a first layer 210 that absorbs liquids, excrement, and the like, and a second layer 220 that collects fine particles (pathogens such as viruses).
As shown in FIG. 1, the first layer 210 is composed of a surface material 211 that comes into contact with the body, a water absorbing material 212 that is located outside the surface material 211, and a waterproof material 213 that is located outside the water absorbing material 212. It is composed.
The water-absorbent material 212 is composed of a combination of water-absorbent paper, cotton-like pulp, a polymer absorbent, and the like, and easily absorbs excrement and the like, and once absorbed, it is surely taken in and does not turn back. The polymer absorbent has a characteristic that it absorbs 50 to 100 times as much water as its own weight and does not easily exude even when pushed.
Further, since the surface material 211 is a portion that comes into direct contact with the patient's skin, a non-woven fabric of polyester or polypropylene is adopted with a focus on improving comfort during wearing. The surface material 211 quickly sends excrement or the like to the water absorbing material 212 so that the surface material 211 itself is hard to get wet and maintains a smooth state.
Further, the waterproof material 213 is a waterproof sheet to prevent leakage of excrement and the like.

The first layer 210 configured as described above is further provided with a first layer side opening 214 constituting the protective body side opening 230.
The side surface of the penetrating portion 214A of the water absorbing material 212 is covered with the waterproof material 213 in the first layer side opening 214 in order to prevent leakage from the water absorbing material 212 of the first layer 210. In the drawing, the first layer side opening 214 is represented as a round hole, but the first layer side opening 214 is not limited to the round hole, and may be an X-shaped, Y-shaped, or I-shaped notch. Good.

Further, a double-sided adhesive tape 216 is arranged on the peripheral edge portion 215 of the surface material 211 of the first layer 210. The double-sided adhesive tape 216 is an adhesive means for adhering the protective body 200 to the buttocks of the patient.

Further, a double-sided adhesive tape 218 is arranged on the peripheral edge portion 217 of the waterproof material 213 of the first layer 210. The double-sided adhesive tape 218 is for attaching the protective body 200 to the pants body 100.

The second layer 220 is made of a non-woven fabric that is also used for medical N95 masks and the like.
Therefore, the second layer 220 has an effect of collecting pathogens such as viruses.
N95 is a standard for respiratory protective equipment established by the US Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute, and is said to be able to collect pathogens attached to droplet nuclei of 5 μm or less.

The second layer 220 is set to a size and shape that completely covers the pants-side opening 110 of the pants body 100. Therefore, the second layer 220 may have a size smaller than that of the first layer 210.
The second layer 220 also has a second layer side opening 221 that constitutes the protective body side opening 230. The second layer 220 is connected to the first layer 210 so that the second layer side opening 221 overlaps with the first layer side opening 214 of the first layer 210.
The second layer 220 is connected to the first layer 210 by an appropriate means such as an adhesive or an adhesive tape to form a protective body 200.
In the drawing, the second layer side opening 221 is represented as a round hole, but the second layer side opening 221 is not limited to the round hole, and may be an X-shaped, Y-shaped, or I-shaped notch. Good.

As shown in FIG. 4, the protective body side opening 230 is opened at a position deviated from the center of the protective body 200 to one side.
This is so that when the protective body 200 is attached to the pants main body 100, the protective body side opening 230 overlaps with the pants side opening 110 of the pants main body 100.

The protective body 200 composed of the first layer 210 and the second layer 220 is attached to the pants body 100 by the double-sided adhesive tape 218.
The protective body side opening 230 of the protective body 200 attached to the pants main body 100 overlaps with the pants side opening 110 of the pants main body 100. Therefore, the scope tube 500 of the colonoscope can be inserted from the anus into the inside of the large intestine via the pants-side opening 110 and the protective body-side opening 230.

The double-sided adhesive tape 216 provided on the first layer 210 of the protective body 200 brings the protective body 200 into close contact with the patient's buttocks. In that case, it is important for better colonoscopy to adjust the protective body side opening 230 so that it is located at a location corresponding to the patient's anus.

With the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy configured in this way, excrement and the like in the large intestine are released to the outside of the body together with the air and washing water sent into the large intestine during the colonoscopy. Even if it is done, the excrement, wash water, etc. are absorbed by the first layer 210 of the protector 200, and the pathogens such as bacteria and the new coronavirus contained in the excrement, etc. are the first layer 210 or the second layer. It is adsorbed by the layer 220 and none of them leaks out of the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy.

In the above embodiment, the protective body 200 is attached to the pants body 100 by the double-sided adhesive tape 218, but it may be attached to the pants body 100 by other appropriate means such as adhesive or sewing. Needless to say, it's good.

When the protective body 200 of the colonoscopy perforated pants 1000 according to the above-described embodiment is retrofitted to the conventional colonoscopy perforated pants (a type having no equivalent to the protective body 200), it is carried out. It becomes the same as the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy according to the form of.
Since this retrofitting will be performed in the medical field, it is easier to attach the protective body 200 to the pants body 100 by using double-sided adhesive tape than by using an adhesive or sewing.

Further, a scope tube 500 is inserted between the protective body side opening 230 of the protective body 200 of the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy according to the above-described embodiment and the scope tube 500 of the colonoscope during the examination. There may be some gaps by moving. Gas containing pathogens such as bacteria and new coronavirus, aerosols, and excrement containing gas may leak from this gap.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the second layer side opening 221 constituting the protective body side opening 230 is always closed, but it is opened by inserting the scope tube 500 and is in close contact with the inserted scope tube 500. It is possible to reduce the risk of this by providing the valve body 260.
The valve body 260 is two film bodies made of a flexible and stretchable material such as silicon rubber, and is configured to be mounted on the peripheral edge of the second layer side opening 221 in a state where a part thereof is overlapped. ..
In FIG. 6, for convenience of drawing, the valve body 260 on the right side located above is drawn so as to be slightly larger, but it goes without saying that the two valve bodies 260 may be the same size. Nor.
Further, the valve body 260 is not essential for the perforated pants 1000 for colonoscopy and can be omitted.
