Description

The present invention relates to an aerosol cover, and more particularly to a medical aerosol cover.

As an aerosol cover used in the medical field, there is a face shield that covers the front of the face of a doctor or a nurse, but the face shield is emitted from a patient even if it can prevent the spread of aerosol emitted from the doctor or the nurse. The diffusion of aerosols cannot be prevented. The patient must be covered to block aerosols caused by the patient's breath, cough, or sneeze.

Therefore, an aerosol box is commercially available that can be placed on the head of a patient lying on a bed to facilitate treatment.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the commercially available aerosol box 100.

The patient's head is covered with the left and right side plates 101a, 101b, top plate 101c, and rear plate 101d with transparent resin, and the front is open, which is a box-shaped cover that covers the patient's head. Two arm holes 102 are formed in the rear plate.
This box-shaped cover is placed on the patient lying on the bed so that the rear plate 101d is located behind the head, and the doctor puts the left and right hands through the arm holes 102 opened in the rear plate 101d. Is designed to be used for treatment.

The conventional aerosol box 100 must be sterilized, washed, and disinfected after being used for one treatment. Since sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection are performed in high-temperature steam, the resin materials used are limited, and if a resin material with sufficient heat resistance is used, it will inevitably become expensive. In addition, even if you intend to wipe it off sufficiently with a disinfectant, viruses and bacteria may remain on the corners and cause a secondary infection. Furthermore, from a bulky place, a large amount of space is required for sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection.

In addition, the doctor puts his hand through the arm hole and performs necessary treatment such as treatment, but during that time, the patient may move unintentionally, and the nurse may need assistance. However, with the above configuration, the nurse cannot perform assistive actions such as restraining the movement of the patient at this time.

In addition, when the doctor does not insert the hand through the arm hole, the arm hole is open, so that the aerosol from the patient may diffuse.

In addition, the front of the box is open to accommodate the patient's head, but coughing and sneezing during treatment can cause aerosols to leak from the front.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and is basically easy to sterilize, wash, and disinfect, and a nurse can insert an arm for the purpose of assisting a doctor's action, and the arm. An object of the present invention is to provide an aerosol box in which there is no risk of aerosol leaking from a hole or the front.

The present invention has the following configuration.

A transparent sheet is put on the dome-shaped skeleton. The transparent sheet is fixed to the skeleton with a clip. A doctor's arm hole is provided on the transparent sheet on one side surface side of the skeleton, and a nurse's arm hole is provided on the other side surface of the skeleton and the transparent sheet on the top.

The dome-shaped skeleton is configured to include a front-rear arch-shaped frame and a plurality of connecting frames for connecting the front-rear arch-shaped frames. The front and rear arched frames and the plurality of connecting frames may be connected by a fixed means such as welding, but if they are detachable, sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection after use become easy. Further, if the doctor's arm hole on one side and the nurse's arm hole on the other side are symmetrical positions, the production becomes easy (details will be described later). Further, if the three arm holes formed in the transparent sheet are formed of slits, it is easy to manufacture and it is possible to prevent the leakage of aerosol.

With the above configuration, the doctor can treat from the doctor's arm hole on one side, and the nurse can assist the doctor from the nurse's arm hole on the other side and the top of the dome. In addition, by discarding the used sheet each time, the labor of sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection can be saved. Further, by making the arch-shaped frame and the connecting frame removable, sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection are easy, and a large volume is not required for storage. Further, if the doctor's arm hole on one side and the nurse's arm hole on the other side are symmetrical positions, the production becomes easy (details will be described later). Further, if the three arm holes formed in the transparent sheet are formed of slits, it is easy to manufacture and it is possible to prevent the leakage of aerosol.

<Structure>
First, as shown in FIG. 1, the front and rear arch-shaped frames 11a and 11b are connected to each other by a plurality of connecting frames 12 to form a dome-shaped skeleton 10. Permanent fixing means such as welding may be used for the connection, but it is preferable to provide a boss hole through which a bolt having a predetermined diameter penetrates in the connection portion and tighten the bolt with a nut so that the connection can be assembled. .. In the drawing, the connecting points are both sides off the apex of the arch and the legs, but it is sufficient to satisfy the conditions that the strength is secured and the apex of the arch is avoided for the reason described later.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the used state, the dome-shaped skeleton 10 is covered with a transparent sheet 20 having a plurality of arm holes (described later) and fixed. For the fixing, a dedicated clip (described later) or a commercially available clip 30 can be used for the arch-shaped frames 11a and 11b and the connecting frame 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, with the transparent sheet 20 covered, slit-shaped arm holes 21 (21a, 21b) of the transparent sheet 20 are provided at facing portions on both side surfaces of the skeleton 10, and the top of the skeleton 10 is provided. Similarly, a slit-shaped arm hole 21 (21c) is provided in the above. The functions of each of these arm holes 21 will be described later.

Various configurations of the above clip 30 can be proposed. For example, a material with a high iron content can be used for each frame, and the necessary parts can be suppressed by magnet pieces. Further, as shown as an example in FIG. 2, a pinch-shaped clip using a leaf spring or a wire spring may be used.

When the transparent sheet 30 of the aerosol cover is fixed to the inside of the skeleton 10 as described later, it is not necessary to sterilize, clean, and disinfect the skeleton 10 after use. However, when the transparent sheet 20 is fixed to the inside of the skeleton 10, the sandwich-shaped clip 30 having protruding corners cannot be used. Therefore, in this case, the magnet described above can be used as the clip 30, or a dedicated clip having the following configuration can be used.

As shown in FIG. 3a, both ends of a leaf spring having a predetermined length are folded inward with a width slightly wider than the width of the arched frames 11a, 11b and the connecting frame 12, and the frames 11a, 11b, 12 (drawings) are gently folded. The upper part is curved to a width slightly narrower than (only the code 11a), and the tip is curved to a width slightly wider than each frame to form a C shape, and the C shapes at both ends face each other. To do.

As shown in FIG. 3b, the clip 30 having the above configuration is pushed from above with respect to each frame (here, the arched frame 11a is drawn) from above the sheet 20, and the elasticity of the two C-shaped backs. Hold the transparent sheet 20 against the frame from above. When removing, the clip 30 is pulled out against the elasticity of the two C-shaped portions.
<Use>
A method of using the aerosol cover having the above configuration will be described.

First, when the skeleton 10 is an assembly type, a dome-shaped skeleton 10 is assembled by inserting bolts into each fixing portion and tightening nuts. Here, if a wing nut A that can be tightened by hand is used as the nut, it is convenient because it is not necessary to use a tool.

The transparent sheet 10 is fixed to the dome-shaped skeleton 10 assembled in this manner with a clip 30, and is covered over the face of the patient 50 as shown in FIG. That is, one arched frame 11a is placed on the patient's face so that the other arched frame 11b is located behind the patient's head.

In this state, the transparent sheet 20 is covered not only on the left and right sides of the face but also on the chest, and also on the bed behind the head.

In this state, it is assumed that a doctor stands on one side of the patient and a nurse stands on the other side, and the doctor performs necessary treatments on the patient. A doctor standing on one side of the skeleton 10 inserts a device into the patient's trachea or esophagus through an arm hole 21a provided on that side, through the nose or mouth (in FIG. 2, the endoscope 40 is depicted). Perform the work of collecting mucus. On the other hand, the nurse standing on the other side inserts the right hand (left hand) through the arm hole 21b opened on the side surface and the left hand (right hand) through the overhead arm hole 21c to hold the patient's head and hold the patient's head. Assist the patient in immobility during treatment.

Since the nurse inserts his left and right hands into the dome as described above, one arm hole 21b is in a symmetrical position with the doctor's arm hole 21a, but the other arm hole 21c is at the apex position of the dome. Therefore, the arm holes 21a and 21b are located at positions where the shoulder width is maintained.

When the necessary treatment is completed, the clip 30 is removed, the transparent sheet 20 is discarded, and the skeleton 10 is sterilized, washed, and disinfected. The work of sterilizing, cleaning, and disinfecting the skeleton 10 having only a skeleton in this way is far less laborious than sterilizing, cleaning, and disinfecting the conventional box-type aerosol cover. When cleaning and disinfecting, a great deal of labor is reduced. Further, when the transparent sheet 20 is fixed to the inside of the skeleton 10, it is sufficient to sterilize, wash, and disinfect only the clip 30 exposed inside the skeleton 10.

FIG. 5 shows the positions of the arm holes 21 when the transparent sheet is folded in half. Since the doctor's arm hole 21a and the nurse's arm hole 21b located on the side surface of the skeleton are symmetrically located, it is sufficient to insert a knife from one side during processing. Further, it is sufficient to insert the nurse arm hole 21c located at the upper end of the skeleton at a right angle from the folding line 30'side of the woven transparent sheet.

Each of the arm holes 21a to 21c formed in this way has a slit shape, and there is very little risk of aerosols generated from the patient leaking before and after the doctor or nurse inserts the arm, or even when the arm is inserted. There are advantages.

As explained above, it is considered that the application to the medical industry is extremely effective because it has various advantages as follows. That is, the doctor can treat from the doctor's arm hole on one side, and the nurse can assist the doctor from the nurse's arm hole on the other side and the top of the dome. In addition, by discarding the used sheet each time, the labor of sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection can be saved. Further, by making the arch-shaped frame and the connecting frame removable, sterilization, cleaning, and disinfection are easy, and a large volume is not required for storage. Further, when the doctor's arm hole on one side and the nurse's arm hole on the other side are symmetrical positions, the production becomes easy. Further, if the three arm holes formed in the transparent sheet are formed of slits, it is easy to manufacture and it is possible to prevent the leakage of aerosol.
