Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a urine collection bag having an annular adhesive surface that can be adhered to the body surface at the periphery of the urine collection opening and on the surface that comes into contact with the body surface.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1A, for example, a circular urine collection opening 2 is provided in a rectangular membrane-like body 1, and a member for adhering the periphery of the urine collection opening 2 to the body surface, that is, as shown in FIG. 1B, is conventionally used. Also in the mounting member 3 shown,
A urine collection opening 4 having the same diameter as this opening 2 is provided, and the peripheral edge e ₂ of this opening 4 is adhered to the peripheral edge e 1 of the opening 2 of the membrane-like body ₁ , and then as shown in FIG. 1C, The membranous body 1 was folded in two along the center line a, and the same edges c ₁ and c ₂ , b 1 and b ₂ and _{d 1 and} d ₂ of this membranous body 1 were glued together to form a urine collection bag. There is something.

In such a urine collecting bag, especially when used by a woman, the mounting member 3, which has an adhesive layer formed to adhere to the wearer's body surface, does not adapt well to the unevenness of the body surface and may peel off. There was a problem that a gap was formed between the adhesive member 3 and the adhesive member 3, and urine leaked from this gap.

Therefore, in order to prevent this peeling, if the adhesive force of the adhesive layer of the attachment member 3 is strengthened, urine leakage will be reduced, but when the attachment member 3 is peeled off from the body surface,
This can irritate the skin and, in the worst case scenario, cause skin irritation and trauma. This is a serious problem for premature babies and others, and is one of the issues that requires an immediate solution.

The present invention was proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and is a urine collection bag that has a ring-shaped adhesive surface that can be attached to the body surface on the periphery of the urine collection opening and on the surface that comes into contact with the body surface. On the adhesive surface of the part that comes into contact with the perineum, a protruding strip extending almost parallel to the adhesive surface and protruding like a rod is formed, and this protruding strip that protrudes like a rod is attached to the perineum. A urine collection bag was constructed by adhering it to the body surface while sandwiching it between the gaps to prevent urine collection from leaking.

As a result, the adhesive surface blends well with the unevenness of the body surface, and as a result, the gap does not need to strengthen the adhesive strength of the adhesive surface.
It is unlikely to occur between the body surface and the adhesive surface. Therefore, there is no risk of urine collection leaking.

An example in which this invention is applied to a urine collection bag for women, particularly for infants, will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

The reference numeral 6 shown in FIG. 2 is a rectangular membrane-like body, and the upper edge of this membrane-like body 6 connects both end corners and the central part, and the lower edge connects the left and right sides of the membrane-like body 6. Cut 1/4 length of the width from each edge into an arc shape, and fold the membrane-like body 6 in half from the center line a of the width as described later to form the urine collection bag 7.
When the urine collection bag body 7 is formed as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the corners of the urine collection bag body 7 are made to have an arc shape. Further, an egg-shaped urine collection opening 8 is provided at the upper part of the width center of the membrane-like body 6. Note that this opening 8 may be a circular hole.

By the way, the attachment member 9 necessary for attaching this urine collection bag to the wearer's body surface has a symmetrical outer circumference as shown in FIG. A urine collection opening 10 having the same shape and dimensions as 8 is provided. Further, the peripheral edge of the opening 10 and the surface that comes into contact with the body surface is provided with an annular adhesive surface coated with an adhesive so that the adhesive member 9 can adhere to the body surface.

Further, this adhesive surface forms a protruding rod-shaped protruding portion 13 on the part of the body surface that is adhered to the perineum, in other words, on the lower part 12 of the annular adhesive surface to prevent urine leakage. . The perineum here refers to the "small area between the vulva and anus." Further, a release paper 14 is pasted on the adhesive surface and removed when performing the adhesive work.

Next, in order to form the above-mentioned rod-shaped convex strip 13, the mounting member 9 is placed on a female mold, and the opening 10 of the mounting member 9 and the opening 8 of the membrane body 6 are placed on top of the female mold. Overlap the membrane-like bodies 6 so that they match,
Further, a male mold is placed on top of the mold, and while pressing the male mold, the rod-shaped convex strip 13 is formed by high-frequency heating, and a part of the area around the opening 8 is formed e _{1 .}
and a part of the zone e ₂ around the opening 10 is bonded.

Note that on the surface of the mounting member 9 (the surface in contact with the female mold), a release paper 14 is attached to the adhesive surface of the mounting member 9 as described above.
A cut 14a is made in 4 so that the release paper 14 can be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer.

Moreover, the membrane-like body 6 is folded in two along the center line a of the width, and the left and right upper edges c ₁ and c ₂ and the left and right side edges b ₁
and b ₂ are bonded together by high frequency heating or the like. Furthermore, the lower edge is d ₁ and d ₂ as shown in Figure 2,
Further, f ₁ and f ₂ are bonded to each other by high frequency heating or the like.

FIG. 5 is a side view of a urine collection bag in which the urine collection bag main body 7 is constructed by the above-mentioned adhesive. In this figure, the urine collection bag main body 7 has an upper edge parallel to the paper surface and a lower edge perpendicular to the paper surface. Further, as shown in the front view of FIG. 4, a tube 16 for urination that communicates with the urine collection bag main body 7 is attached to the central portion of the lower edge. Note that the tube 16 has a tube 16a with a larger diameter than this tube 16 in the mounting part.
This prevents the tube 16 from being repeatedly bent at a sharp angle and suffering fatigue damage.

By the way, this tube 16 is opened and closed by operating the clamper 19. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the clamper 19 has a handle 20 erected at one end of a rectangular plate, and has a long hole 21 having a large diameter part A with a large width and a small diameter part B with a small width. is inserted into this elongated hole 21. Then, if you grab the handle 20 and move the clamper 19 to the left in FIG. 5 so that the tube 16 is located at the large diameter part A, the tube 16 will not be pressed against the elongated hole 21, so the tube 16 will be moved to the left in FIG. As shown, it opens fully. If the clamper 19 is moved to the right in FIG. 5 so that the tube 16 comes to the small diameter portion B, the tube 16 is pressed and deformed by the elongated hole 21 and becomes fully open as shown in FIG. 6.

Thus, in order to use the urine collection bag described above, the tube 16 is first closed with the clamper 19, and the release paper 14 is peeled off from the cut 14a to expose the adhesive surface.

Next, when this adhesive surface is adhered to the body surface around the urethral opening, even if the body surface retreats as it descends and finally reaches the perineum, the rod-shaped convex strip 13 provided on the adhesive surface works to protrude the adhesive surface in response to the receding of the body surface, so that the adhesive surface can be easily adhered to the perineum while being narrowed between the perineum. In this way, the adhesive surface of the attachment member 9 adhered to the body surface approximately matches the undulations of the body surface. Therefore, since there are almost no unnaturally twitching parts on the adhesive surface, there is no risk that a part of the attachment member 9, once attached, will peel off from the body surface, creating a gap and causing urine to leak out. Moreover, there is no inconvenience such as using a strong adhesive due to fear of peeling as described above and causing unexpected damage to the wearer's skin.

When urination is started in this manner, urine will not leak out between the attachment member 9 and the body surface, and will be collected in the storage portion 22 formed at the bottom of the urine collection bag body 7. When urination is finished, the urine collection bag can be easily removed from the wearer by pulling the attachment member 9 away from the body surface.

Therefore, by grasping the upper edge of the urine collection bag main body 7, carrying it to a desired location, and operating the clamper 19 to open the tube 16, urine can be discharged from the urine collection bag. In this case, the upper and lower edges of the urine collection bag body 7 are perpendicular to each other as described above, so even if the urine collection bag body 7 is gripped as described above, no force is applied to the urine collection bag body 7 to make it flat. Therefore, the upper part of the reservoir 22 remains open. Therefore, there is no fear that the volume of the storage portion 22 will decrease and urine will overflow from the opening 8. In the above case, the urine is temporarily stored in the storage section 22, but the tube 16 may be kept open and the urine can be received in another container at the same time as being excreted. In this case, the urine collection bag body 7 is simply used as a urine flow path.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to one embodiment, the above-mentioned embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention.
Various modifications are possible based on the technical idea of the present invention. For example, although adhesive is applied to the attachment member 9 in advance to form an adhesive layer, it is also possible to apply an adhesive liquid directly to the part of the body surface that comes into contact with the attachment member 9 to make the attachment member 9 adhere to the body surface. good.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the rod-shaped protruding strip provided on the adhesive surface naturally adheres to the perineum while being narrowed between the perineum. For this reason, the peripheral edge of the urine collection opening of the urine collection bag fits very naturally on the wearer's body surface. Therefore, the peripheral portion that adheres to the body surface does not peel off from the body surface to create a gap, and urine does not leak out from this gap.

In addition, since the peripheral edge fits very naturally to the wearer's body surface, there is no need to use particularly strong adhesives to adhere the peripheral edge to the body surface, thus causing damage to the wearer's skin. There is no fear that it will give any.
