JP7154624B2 - Urinary leak stopper for men - Google Patents

Description

To provide a male urinary leakage stopper which prevents urine leakage from a male who is suffering from urinary leakage, and which has a compact shape and is comfortable to wear. Regarding.

According to a private survey conducted in Japan in 2017, more than 10% of men in their 30s, more than 20% in their 40s and 50s, more than 30% in their 60s, and more than 40% in their 70s have urinary incontinence symptoms. is occurring. There are many causes of urinary incontinence in men, such as aging, prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cancer, neurological symptoms such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and obesity. Among these cancers, prostate cancer ranks second only to gastric cancer and colorectal cancer in terms of the number of patients by site.

For this reason, many preventive devices have been proposed to prevent leakage of urine in men. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-200000 describes "an annular portion formed by forming a part of a belt-shaped member into an annular shape, a urethra-pressing convex portion attached to the inner peripheral surface of the annular portion to press the urethra, and the annular portion. and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the diameter of the male urinary incontinence prevention device, comprising an anti-pinch member having a hole for passing said strip member, said anti-pinch member between said penis and said adjustment mechanism. By preventing the skin of the penis from being caught in the adjustment mechanism by the position of the member, it is proposed that the anti-pinch member prevents the skin of the penis from being caught in the adjustment mechanism and ensures safety. is doing.

Further, Patent Document 2 discloses that "an annular portion formed by forming a part of a belt-like member into an annular shape, a urethra-pressing convex portion attached to the lower part of the inner peripheral surface side of the annular portion and pressing the urethra, and An adjusting mechanism for adjusting the diameter of the annular portion and an anti-pinch member having a hole for passing the belt-shaped member are provided, and a lower portion of the anti-pinch member is positioned between the penis and the adjusting mechanism. a male urinary incontinence prevention device for preventing the skin of the penis from being pinched by the adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is located inside the hole, and both ends of the strip-shaped member are inside the hole The upper portion of the anti-pinch member passes through the urethra, and the lower portion of the anti-pinch member and the urethra-pressing convex portion are opposed to each other with the penis interposed therebetween. If the upward force acting on the urethra from the pressing projection is weakened, or if a force acts on the urethra in an oblique direction, the blocked state of the urethra will be released. is suggesting.

Patent document 3 states in its twelfth row that "the two free ends of the fixing member 39 are pulled apart, pushing the closing member 39a down along the arm of the fixing member 39 towards the penis 3. The penis 3 is within the fixing member 39. When tightened, it prevents the frictional force between the closing member 39a and the fixing member 39 from loosening."

In US Pat. No. 5,400,000, "the two free ends 22 and 23 of the band 21 are held together by a ring 20 made of plastic or metal. This ring 20 is in fact a flat elongated eyelet, The opening is dimensioned so that the two ends of the band can be comfortably withdrawn.Figures 4 and 5 show the ring 21 on the middle portion of the band 21 after it has been placed on the penis. push against and close until the desired clamp is achieved."

By the way, there are three disorders of urinary function, such as leakage of urine, urinary storage disorder, urine leakage due to inability to endure urine discharge disorder, and other disorders.

Urinary storage disorders are classified into those caused by bladder function and those caused by urethral function. Bladder function includes an overactive bladder in which the bladder spontaneously contracts, a decrease in bladder elasticity, and atrophy of bladder capacity. Overactive bladder is caused by micturition overactivity, detrusor instability, and detrusor hyperreflexia. Urethral function is caused by urethral insufficiency in which the urethra is loose, specifically urethral sphincter insufficiency and urethral hyperactivity.

On the other hand, voiding disorders include bladder dysfunction and urethral dysfunction. Bladder dysfunction includes atonicity, in which the bladder does not contract, and detrusor constant activity. Urethral dysfunction includes obstruction, in which the urethra does not open. Occurs as a result of prostatic hyperplasia.

As for other disorders other than lower urinary tract disorders, urinary leakage may occur due to impaired urination due to motor dysfunction or dementia.

There are five types of urinary incontinence that actually occur for these causes: stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, mixed urinary incontinence, overflow urinary incontinence, and functional urinary incontinence. exists.

Stress urinary incontinence is urinary incontinence caused by increased abdominal pressure caused by lifting heavy objects, coughing, or coughing. Abnormalities are present mainly in the urethra and the vicinity of the urethra, and there is no bladder overactivity.

Urge urinary incontinence is accompanied by a strong urge to urinate and the inability to hold urine. Accompanied by involuntary bladder contractions.

Mixed urinary incontinence is the occurrence of both stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence.

Overflow urinary incontinence is a condition in which dysuria occurs as an underlying disease, resulting in urinary retention and overflowing of urine.

Functional urinary incontinence is caused by the inability to endure the use of the toilet due to motor impairment or dementia, the inability to locate the toilet, or the inability to recognize the act of excretion.

Of these incontinences, stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence, which are urinary incontinences that do not require special care, are still incontinence despite being able to cope with the subject's self-awareness. This puts a burden on the patient's emotions. Furthermore, as a countermeasure, it is possible to deal with such as paper diapers. However, when it is difficult to change disposable diapers after incontinence, although the moisture dries quickly, the residue in the urine, etc., irritates the skin, causing new problems such as eczema on the lower body. do.

On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, the penis is mainly wrapped with a belt-shaped member and pressed by the spacer projections and the projections of the urethra-pressing projections 3 and 4, and is tightened by the adjustment mechanism, so that it does not extend around the entire circumference. Since only specific parts are pressed, these pressures put a large load on the penis. Although the pinching prevention member slightly reduces the burden, it does not reduce the burden of pressing the penis.

In Patent Literature 2 as well, there is no change in the fact that the spacer projections and the pressing projections are present and the burden on the penis is similarly large.

According to Patent Document 3, for example, FIG. 13B, the fastening member 39 is arranged so as to encircle the penis. In this case, since the fastening member 39 is formed of a string and directly touches the penis, it is clear that if the end of the fastening member 39 is pulled in the direction of the arrow in the drawing, the thin string will bite into the penis and increase the burden. In addition, there is a high possibility that the skin of the penis will be pinched by the knot of the string coming into direct contact with the penis. Furthermore, direct contact with the magnet 34, which is a solid object, also presses the penis, which is a heavy burden.

Also in Patent Document 4, in FIG. 4, the band 24 is arranged so as to encircle the penis. In this case as well, it is possible to adjust the tightness to the penis by adjusting the ring portion with the ring 20, but it can be seen that the penis is directly bitten and the burden increases. The contact with the junction of band 22 is likely to pinch the skin of the penis. In addition, the pressure pad 28 is also solid and therefore strains the penis.

By tightening these so that they bite directly into the penis and tightening the urethra, urine leakage can be prevented. However, the penis contains, in addition to the urinary duct, the deep penile artery, the penile spiral artery, the corpus cavernosum, the perforating veins, the subleachal veins, the educting veins, the deep dorsal veins and many blood vessels and capillaries, and the spongiosa. Since important nerves such as nerves are located inside, simply tightening them will also tighten other than the urinary canal. For this reason, there is a possibility that an ischemic state due to infarction may be caused.

In addition, when wearing these male urine leakage stoppers, the wearer attaches the male urine leakage stopper to the penis, and then wears underwear or trousers over it. In this case, if the shape of the urine leakage stopper for men is large, the clothing will protrude unnaturally when wearing trousers or the like.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to reduce the burden on the male genitalia by minimizing damage to blood vessels, nerves, and skin while obstructing the urinary duct, and to reduce the burden on the male genitalia. Loosen the cord stopper with your fingers and lift the first hollow member to loosen the tightening of the penis so that you can urinate smoothly. To provide a urine leakage stopper for males having a compact overall shape and causing no sense of incongruity when worn by fixing a cord-like member with a cord stopper by appropriately tightening.

In order to solve the problem of the present invention, a string-like member folded in two, a first hollow member through which the folded portion of the string-like member extends in the axial direction, and the position of the hollow member are adjusted. and an adjusting mechanism through which the string-like member penetrates so as to allow the male urine leakage stopper.

The cord-like member is characterized by being round rubber. The cord-like member may be characterized in that its outer periphery is coated with a gel-like member.

The present invention is characterized by further comprising a second hollow member through which the string-shaped member penetrates perpendicularly to the axial direction.

The second hollow member is characterized in that axial cuts are provided at both ends thereof.

It is characterized by further comprising a fourth hollow member through which the string-like member is axially penetrated.

A string-shaped member folded in two, a third hollow member through which the folded portion of the string-shaped member is perpendicular to the axial direction, and the string so as to adjust the position of the third hollow member. and an adjustment mechanism through which the shaped member extends.

By using the male urinary incontinence stopper according to the present invention, there are the following advantages.

This male urinary leakage stopper blocks the urinary duct while minimizing damage to the blood vessels, nerves and skin, thereby reducing the burden on the male genitalia and having a compact overall shape that does not cause discomfort when worn. becomes possible.

Even if this urinary leakage stopper for men is worn every day for 5 months, no penile incarceration, dermatitis, strangulation, painful urination, etc. are observed.

Even men who have severe urinary incontinence and refrain from activities such as walking and sports (jogging, golf, tennis, mountain climbing) can prevent urinary incontinence by using this urine incontinence stopper, so there is no need to worry about incontinence. It is possible to regain a comfortable daily life by being released from.

By using this urinary leakage stopper for men, it is possible to reduce the number of urinary leakage pads to be replaced per day, and it is possible to switch from a large amount of urine leakage pad to a small amount of urine leakage pad. As a result, the quantity of used incontinence pads (medical waste) can be reduced. At the same time, the financial burden on the incontinence pad user can be reduced.

By using this urine leakage stopper for men, it is possible to reduce the number of paper diapers used by the person requiring nursing care. As a result, the work of changing paper diapers by caregivers can be reduced.
This urinary incontinence stopper for men can also be used for urinary incontinence patients after surgery.

Further, the annular portion side of the string-like member 4 is covered with the first hollow member 8 . More specifically, the first hollow member 8 has a tubular structure with a through hole provided in its longitudinal direction, that is, in its axial direction. The string-like member 4 is inserted through this longitudinal through-hole. The cord-like member 4 is preferably a round rubber cord (3 mm, 5 mm), which is known to have a higher ability to prevent urine leakage. Also, the length of the string member 4 is preferably 3 to 4 cm. In addition, the cross section of the rubber cord is preferably circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, or polygonal that forms an octagon from a triangle (however, the tip of the angular portion forms an obtuse angle or a circular shape instead of an acute angle). . Furthermore, if the cross section is elliptical, there are 1 to 6 muscle crests in the axial direction of the string (however, the tip of the muscle crest forms an obtuse angle) on the arc part that presses the penis, and if the cross section is square, 1 presses the penis. 1 to 6 ridges along the axis of the string on each side (however, the tip of the ridge forms an obtuse angle), and in the case of a rectangle, 1 to 6 ridges along the axis of the string on one long side that presses the penis A shape of ridges (however, the tip of the ridges forms an obtuse angle) is preferable.

It is particularly preferable to use a material having Furthermore, it is also preferable to have a shape in which a cloth-like material is attached as a support layer to the outer periphery and/or the inner periphery of the hollow member made of these materials. By using these materials and making a hollow member having the above-mentioned shape, the material is soft and pleasant to the touch when it comes into contact with the male genitalia, greatly reducing the burden on the genitalia and causing discomfort when worn. It is also possible to reduce the clinical damage to the penis (inflammation and trauma due to rubbing and pressure) caused by wearing.

The length of the first hollow member 8 varies slightly depending on the thickness of the penis, but 8 to 9 cm is suitable for the average Japanese. In order to make the length of the first hollow member 8 adjustable, a plurality of lengths of the first hollow member 8 are prepared so that they can be replaced according to the size of the subject's penis, so that various sizes of penises can be obtained. can correspond to The inner diameter of the hollow portion of the first hollow member 8 is preferably 7 to 10 mm.

The shape of the first hollow member 8 is polygonal such as circular, elliptical, square, rectangular, triangular, or octagonal (however, the tip of the angular portion is not acute but obtuse or obtuse). forming a circular shape) is preferred. Furthermore, if the cross section is elliptical, there are 1 to 6 muscle crests in the axial direction of the string (however, the tip of the muscle crest forms an obtuse angle) on the arc part that presses the penis, and if the cross section is square, 1 presses the penis. 1 to 6 ridges along the axis of the string on each side (however, the tip of the ridge forms an obtuse angle), and in the case of a rectangle, 1 to 6 ridges along the axis of the string on one long side that presses the penis A shape of ridges (however, the tip of the ridges forms an obtuse angle) is preferable. Further, the shape of the first hollow member 8 can be such that a groove is formed in the axial direction of the hollow member as a portion for holding the string-like member 4 in the inner peripheral portion of the cross section.

Examples of cross-sectional views of the hollow member 8 are shown in FIGS. 11(a) to 11(f). (a) is a donut-shaped hollow member 80 having a circular outer diameter in cross section and has a circular hollow member 80, and (b) is a hollow member 86 having an elliptical cross section and a hollow inside. has a circular hollow member 84, and (c) is a hollow member 88 whose cross section has a square outer diameter and a hollow interior, has a circular hollow member 90, and has ridges 92 at the four corners. (d) is a hollow member 86 having an elliptical cross section and a hollow interior, having a circular hollow member 96 with two ridges 98 protruding from its outer edge, and (e) is a cross section is a hollow member 100 having a circular outer diameter and a hollow interior, having a circular hollow member 102, and further comprising a recess 104 in this hollow member 102, and (f) shows a cross section having a circular outer diameter The hollow member 106 has an elliptical hollow member 108, and the hollow member 108 is provided with a concave portion 110 having a substantially elliptical shape.

The first hollow member 8 is provided with slits 16 at both ends in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the axial direction. By providing this slit 16, the string member 4 is provided so as to be inserted into the slit 16.例文帳に追加

Furthermore, a second hollow member 12 is provided between the cord stopper 10 and the first hollow member 8 . This second hollow member 12 has holes 14 through which the cord-like member 4 can pass through on both sides of its center. The cord-like member 4 extending from the cord stopper 10 passes through the hole 14 and is bifurcated and inserted into both ends of the first hollow member 8 . By providing the slit 16 at this time, it is possible to prevent the end of the first hollow member 8 from interfering with each other.

Here, the cord stopper 10 inserts a piston provided with a horizontal hole aligned with the opening of the cylinder into a cylinder provided with an opening for inserting the string member 4 on the outer periphery, and a compression coil spring ( (not shown) to bias the piston to fix the opening of the cylinder and the string-like member 4 inserted through the opening and the lateral hole of the piston. In particular, the size of the cord stopper 10 can be made compact so that it can be operated with one hand. Therefore, even if the male incontinence stopper 2 according to the present invention is worn, underwear and trousers are worn, it does not stand out. Cord stopper materials include polyacetal, polyamide, polypropylene, ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, polyimide, phenol, urethane, vinyl chloride, acrylic and other synthetic resins, metals, and A biodegradable resin or the like can be used.

Among the cord stoppers 10 on the market, the round cord stopper is the most user-friendly, and even elderly people who are becoming clumsy with their hands can easily operate it when urinating.

This round cord stopper can be installed more smoothly by opening two holes side by side at 5mm intervals through which a 5mm round rubber cord can pass smoothly.

In addition to the round cord stopper, a round rod-shaped cord stopper that can be used as a urine leakage stopper may be used.

This round bar-shaped cord stopper preferably has a diameter of 10 mm, a length of 35 mm, and two 5 mm holes arranged side by side at intervals of 5 mm on the round bar.

Comparing the round bar-shaped cord stopper and the round cord stopper, the round cord stopper has better operability.

Next, how to use the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a state before the male urine leakage stopper 2 is attached, and FIG. 3 shows a diagram while the male urine leakage stopper 2 is being installed.

Before wearing, the wearer presses the piston portion of the cord stopper 10 to release the locking of the cord-like member 4, and then inserts the cord stopper 10 and the second hollow member 12 so that a large gap is formed in the annular portion. It is moved to the end side of the string-like member 4 . After the movement, the pressing of the cord stopper 10 against the piston portion is stopped to stop the movement of the cord stopper 10 and the second hollow member 12 . Then, the penis A, which may leak urine, is inserted into the annulus and placed in contact with the first hollow member 8 .

Subsequently, after inserting the penis A into the annular portion, the wearer presses the piston portion again to move the cord stopper 10 and the second hollow member 12 toward the penis A until the penis A is fixed. Move (Fig. 3). As a result, since the string-like member 4 tightens the penis A, the force is dispersed over the entire circumference of the penis, and the force is concentrated only on a specific portion, so that pain is not felt. Moreover, since the second hollow member 12 has a cushioning effect, the burden on the penis is reduced.

In addition, since the part that directly contacts the penis A is entirely covered with the first hollow member 8 and the second hollow member 12, it is elastic and soft, and the second hollow member 8 and the second hollow member Since the surface material of 12 is cloth, it is possible to reduce the burden on the penis A by reducing the friction of the penis A.

By reversing a commercially available toe corn protective tube (gel cushion toe tube), the flexible gel protects the skin of the penis even when the penis is tightened, and pain caused by the tightening does not occur.

As a result, the portion of the penis that comes into contact with the urinary leakage stopper is properly tightened to prevent urinary leakage.

Wearing this urinary leakage stopper every day for 5 months has not caused any damage to the penis or urination.

The urine leakage stopper worn for one day can be hand-washed with tap water, dried naturally, and reused the next day.

By alternately using two stoppers, the stopper can be washed and used 30 times (days).

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a second embodiment of a male urine leakage stopper according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 shows an overall configuration diagram of the urine leakage stopper 22 for men. The male urine leakage stopper 22 has a looped portion of a string member 24 and a cord stopper 26 passed through the open end on the opposite side to fix the open end.

The string member 24 is made of rubber string, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, synthetic resin, paper, or the like.

Furthermore, a third hollow member 28 is provided between the cord stopper 26 and the annular portion. This third hollow member 28 has holes 32 through which the string-like member 24 can pass through on both sides of its center. The cord-like member 24 extending from the cord stopper 26 passes through the hole 32 and is divided into two to form an annular portion.

Here, the cord stopper 26 inserts a piston 30 provided with a horizontal hole aligned with the opening of the cylinder into a cylinder provided with an opening for inserting the string member 24 on the outer periphery, and compresses between the cylinder and the piston 30. A coil spring (not shown) is interposed to urge the piston 30 to fix the opening of the cylinder and the string-like member 24 inserted through the opening and the lateral hole of the piston 30 . In particular, the size of the cord stopper 26 can be made compact so that it can be operated with one hand. Therefore, even if the male urine leakage stopper 22 according to the present invention is worn, underwear and trousers are put on, it does not stand out.

Next, the usage of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG.

FIG. 5 shows the state before the male urine leakage stopper 22 is attached, and FIG. 6 shows the figure during the male urine leakage stopper 22 is installed.

Before wearing, the wearer presses the piston 30 of the cord stopper 26 to release the locking of the string-like member 24, and the cord stopper 26 and the first hollow member 28 are connected so that a large gap is formed in the annular portion. It is moved to the end side of the string-like member 24 . Once the cord stopper 26 has moved, the pressing of the cord stopper 26 against the piston 30 is stopped to stop the movement of the cord stopper 26 and the third hollow member 28 . Then, the penis A, which may cause urine leakage, is inserted into the annulus and placed in contact with the annulus.

Subsequently, the wearer presses the piston 30 again to move the cord stopper 26 and the third hollow member 28 toward the penis A to a position where the penis A is fixed (FIG. 6). As a result, since the string-like member 24 tightens the penis A, the force is dispersed over the entire circumference of the penis, and the force is concentrated only on a specific portion, so that pain is not felt. Moreover, since the third hollow member 28 has a cushioning effect, the burden on the penis is reduced.

Moreover, since all the places that come into direct contact with the penis A are covered with the annular portion and the third hollow member 28, they are elastic and soft, and the surface material of the annular portion and the third hollow member 28 is cloth. Therefore, the burden on the penis A can be reduced by reducing the friction of the penis A.

(Third Embodiment)
FIGS. 7-9 show schematic diagrams of a third embodiment of a male urine leakage stopper according to the present invention.

7 to 9 show the overall configuration of the urine leakage stopper 40 for men. The urine leakage stopper for men 40 has a looped portion formed from a string-like member 42 and an open end on the opposite side of which a cord stopper 44 is passed through to fix the open end.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the string-like member 42 has a round rubber center and is coated with silicon gel on the outer periphery. A round rubber cord with a diameter of 3 mm to 5 mm may be coated with silicon gel 8 to 9 cm so that the thickness is 10 mm to 15 mm.

Using an 8-9 cm gel-coated round rubber cord to tighten the penis will prevent urine leakage.

This gel-coated round rubber cord can provide a urine leakage prevention effect, has a simple structure, and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the urine leakage stopper.

Next, the usage of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 9. FIG.

FIG. 7 shows the state before the male urine leakage stopper 40 is attached, and FIG. 9 shows the male urine leakage stopper 40 while the male urine leakage stopper 40 is being installed.

Before wearing, the wearer presses the piston 48 of the cord stopper 44 to release the locking of the cord-like member 42, and the cord stopper 44 and the third hollow member 46 are connected so that a large gap is formed in the annular portion. It is moved to the end side of the string-like member 42 . After the movement, the cord stopper 44 stops pressing the piston 48 to stop the movement of the cord stopper 44 and the third hollow member 46 . Then, the penis A, which may cause urine leakage, is inserted into the annulus and placed in contact with the annulus.

Subsequently, the wearer presses the piston 48 again to move the cord stopper 44 and the third hollow member 46 toward the penis A to a position where the penis A is fixed (FIG. 9). As a result, since the string-like member 42 tightens the penis A, the force is distributed over the entire circumference of the penis, and the force is concentrated only on a specific part, which does not cause pain. In particular, since the outer circumference of the string member 42 is gel-coated, the burden on the penis is small. In addition, since the third hollow member 46 has a cushioning effect, the burden on the penis is reduced.

Moreover, since all the places that come into direct contact with the penis A are covered with the gel-coated string-like member 42 and the third hollow member 46, they are elastic and soft, and the gel-coated string-like member 42 and the third hollow member 46 are flexible. Since the surface material of the third hollow member 46 is cloth, the burden on the penis A can be reduced by reducing the friction of the penis A.

Even if the male urinary leakage stopper according to the present invention is used every day for 5 months, no inflammation, stringing, etc. of the penis is observed.

Subjects who are refraining from walking, jogging, golfing, etc. due to severe urinary leakage can also use the device with peace of mind.

In addition, a comfortable daily life can be obtained for a subject who has been using an incontinence pad for many years.

Subjects with severe urinary incontinence can also switch to small-dose urinary incontinence pads.

FIGS. 12-13 show schematic diagrams of a fifth embodiment of a male urine leakage stopper according to the present invention.

The description of the fifth embodiment will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

FIG. 14a shows an overall configuration diagram of the male urine leakage stopper 130. FIG. The male urine leakage stopper 130 has a looped portion of a string-like member 132 and a cord stopper 138 passing through the open end on the opposite side to fix the open end. Further, the annular portion side of the string-like member 132 is covered with the first hollow member 134 . Furthermore, a fourth hollow member 136 is provided between the cord stopper 138 and the first hollow member 134 . The cord-like member 132 extending from the cord stopper 138 passes through the central hollow portion of the fourth hollow member 136 and is bifurcated to be inserted into both ends of the first hollow member 134 respectively. This fourth hollow member 136 is different from the first embodiment in that the fourth hollow member 136 requires minimal processing, which can reduce the processing cost. As also shown in Figure 14b, the presence of the fourth hollow member 136 between the cord stopper 138 and the penis A reduces the load on the penis.
