Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nursing care urine which can provide easy nursing care.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a sick person, a physically handicapped person, a bedridden elderly person and the like who are unable to walk need to take care of urine at least 10 times a day due to ingestion of water such as infusion. When a urine collector such as a urinal is used, the caregiver must apply the urine collector every time he or she urinates, and the sleep of the caregiver is hindered, especially at night. Therefore, in order to reduce the frequency of urine collection and reduce the burden on caregivers, urine absorption pads containing a water-absorbing polymer are widely used.

[0003]

However, in the above urine absorbing pad, when the water absorption becomes close to the permissible water absorption, urine may leak from the urine absorbing pad when turning over. Some of them use a non-sticky surface material, but the genitals and their surroundings are constantly exposed to the absorbed urine moisture, so rashes and inflammations are recognized. In severe cases, treatment must be performed. Therefore, such urine absorbing pads need to be frequently replaced in a relatively short time. However, it is a fact that long-term care cannot be changed as often as desired, and fatigue due to lack of sleep often accumulates in caregivers. In addition, the purchase cost of many pads used as disposables cannot be neglected. Therefore, there has been a demand for a urine-collecting device for nursing care that enables both the cared person and the caregiver to easily and inexpensively collect urine.

In order to satisfy such demands, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-54522 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-24016 disclose a condom-type nursing care urine for men. The inventor of the present invention used a nursing care urinary device similar to those of the prior art for a period of about 5 months on a cared person and found rash and inflammation. This is because the penis accommodated in the condom serving as a urination receiver is always immersed in urine and the skin tissue of the penis is relatively weak. When nursing a bedridden patient, it is ideal that it can be used continuously regardless of day and night.
It was difficult to carry out wearing even every day.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can reliably collect urine without leaking urine, hardly cause rash or inflammation even after long-term use, and can be manufactured at low cost. The purpose is to provide a urine collection device for nursing care.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a urinal for nursing care according to the present invention comprises an opening for covering around the urethral opening and a urine receiving device for receiving urine discharged from the urethral opening. A urination receptacle having a portion, a urination tube connected to the urination receptacle of the urination receptacle for discharging urine in the urination receptacle to the outside, and an opening of the urination receptacle being in close contact with the urethral opening in a watertight manner. The apparatus is provided with a contact means for causing the air to flow, and an air supply means for feeding air between the inner surface of the urination receptacle and the periphery of the urethral opening.

[0007] In the above configuration, the urination receiver is formed in a long flexible container with an opening having a diameter capable of penetrating the penis, and the close contact means is provided near the opening with the penis inside. Is provided with an adhesive tape wrapped around the outer periphery of the urination receiver.

Further, in each of the above structures, the air supply means includes:
It has a ventilation pipe having one end communicating with the inside of the urination receptacle, and an air pump connected to the other end of the ventilation pipe.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view showing a male urinal according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. In each figure, a care urine collector 1 is for a male, and a urination receiver 4 attached to a penis P of a cared person and connected to the urination receiver 4 to discharge urine in the urination receiver 4 to the outside. Urinating tube 9 for making the urine, a urinating container 4 in close contact with the periphery of the penis P in a water-tight manner, and an air feeding unit 2 for feeding air between the inner surface of the urinating container 4 and the penis P.
3 and a spacer 5 disposed at the back of the urination receiver 4.

The urination receiver 4 includes an opening 2 for covering the periphery of the penis P and a urine receiving section 3 for receiving the discharged urine, and the opening 2 can penetrate the penis P. It is formed of a flexible container having a diameter and formed in a long cylindrical shape (here, for example, an easily available condom is diverted, but is not limited to a condom). The air supply means 23 includes a ventilation pipe 13 having one end communicated with the urination receiver 4,
An air pump 14 is connected to the other end of the ventilation pipe 13.
Is provided. The contacting means 12 comprises a medical adhesive tape 10 wound around the outer periphery of the urination receptacle 4 near the opening 2 with the penis P inside, and a sealing material 11 inserted into one end of the ventilation tube 13. I have.

The spacer 5 has a plurality of through-holes 6 and is formed in a hollow spherical shape, so that a urine receiving space of the urine receiving section 3 is secured in the urine receiving container 4 which is easily twisted. For example, a ping-pong ball is used as the spacer 5, but a coil spring, a basket, a cylindrical body, or a fiber formed by rolling fibers into a conical shape may be used instead of the ping-pong ball. Also,
The spacer 5 is provided integrally with the thread-shaped connecting member 7 through which the urinary tubing 9 is inserted, and is provided inside the distal end side of the urination receiver 4. One end of the ureter 9 is disposed in communication with the spacer 5, and the other end of the ureter 9 is connected to the urinator 1 having the exhaust pipe 18.
It communicates with 7. The exhaust pipe 18 is provided with an air supply adjusting valve 19 for adjusting the amount of exhaust. In addition, a liquid portable deodorant for portable toilets (manufactured by Aron Kasei Co., Ltd.) is charged in the urinal 17 in advance.

The seal member 11 is made of soft silicone rubber and is formed in a crescent shape when viewed from the front (see FIG. 2), and has a hole through which the ventilation tube 13 is inserted in a sealed manner. When the penis P is inserted into the urination receptacle 4 with the ventilation pipe 13 interposed therebetween, the sealing material 11 fills a gap formed between the inner surface of the urination receptacle 4 and the penis P. Has a soft texture. The other end of the ventilation pipe 13 is connected to the air supply side of the air pump 14 and has an intake side valve 15 on the intake side. Incidentally, the air pump 14 is a commercial product having a capacity of about 6 liters / min (trade name: INNO-β).
6000, manufactured by Nisso Corporation). For example, a fish tank for appreciation fish can be diverted.

Next, the manner of use of the nursing care urine 1 having the above configuration will be described. In general, it is desirable that the bedridden care receiver M can be continuously used except when exchanging the urine collector.
Is suitable. Here, when a commercially available condom is diverted as a flexible container, first, the semen reservoir at the tip of the condom is cut out to make the urination receiver 4. Therefore, the urinary tubing 9 integrated with the spacer 5 and the like is inserted into the urination receiver 4 from the opening 2 and taken out from the cut-out end opening.

Then, when the spacer 5 comes to a position near the distal end opening, the outer periphery of the urination receiver 4 outside the connecting device 7 is tied with a fastener 8 such as a thread so as not to leak water. It is to be noted that using a thick condom among commercially available condoms is inexpensive and can withstand long-term use. A sufficient amount of a sterilizing ointment (trade name: gentacin ointment) is provided near the opening 2 in the urination receiver 4 and on the inner surface of the sealing material 11.
Schering-Brow Co., Ltd.) is applied prior to mounting the penis P.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the distal end of the ventilation tube 13 and the sealing material 11 are inserted into the nursing care urine 1 through the opening 2 and the penis P of the care receiver M is further inserted.
At this time, the ventilation pipe 13 is arranged so that the sealing material 11 is located near the opening 2. Then, the adhesive tape 10 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the urination receiver 4 which is outside the sealing material 11. As a result, the seal member 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the urination receiver 4 are in close contact with the outer periphery of the penis P in a watertight manner.

Next, the vicinity of the opening 2 of the urination receiver 4 is locked by a hook 20 with a rubber cord 21, and the rubber cord 21 is further adhered to the abdomen of the cared person M with an adhesive tape 22 to collect urine for nursing care. Fix the vessel 1. The urinary tubing 9 is passed between a mattress or the like and the thigh of the care recipient M, and the nursing care urine 1 is placed in the urinary tract 9.
, The spacer 5 stops almost inside the thigh. When the air pump 14 is started with both the intake side valve 15 and the air supply side valve 16 fully opened and the air supply adjustment valve 19 appropriately opened, the ventilation pipe 13
Is sent to the urine receiving section 3 of the urination receiver 4.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the urine receiving receptacle 4 gradually expands, and the space of the urine receiving part 3 increases.
Thereby, since the inner surface of the urination receiver 4 separates from the penis P,
The surface of the penis P is less likely to be damaged, and is more likely to dry. When the urine receiving section 3 expands to some extent, the opening of the air supply adjusting valve 19 is adjusted, and the urine receiving section 3 is fixed to the opening at the time when the expansion stops, and is held as it is. This completes a series of preparations. This care urine collector 1 can be used as it is for about 12 hours once worn, but it is desirable to replace it with a spare care urine collector 1 after 12 hours. At the time of replacement, it is important not to wind only the same portion of the penis P with the adhesive tape 10 but to change the portion and wind it. Do not tighten too much to make urine less likely.

Then, when the care receiver M urinates, the urine is received by the urine receiving section 3, passes through the spacer 5 from the through hole 6, and is further stored in the urine reservoir 17 via the urinary tubing 9. On the other hand, the air sent from the ventilation pipe 13 dries the surface of the penis P, and is similarly discharged to the outside from the exhaust pipe 18 via the urinal 17. At this time, the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 18 does not emit an unpleasant odor due to the deodorant in the urinal 17.

As described above, according to the urine collection device for nursing care 1, the penis P at a portion that is not in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the urination receiver 4 is used.
Because it is well dried, no rash or inflammation occurs even after prolonged wearing. In addition, the outer peripheral portion of the penis P, which is in close contact with the sealing member 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the urination receiver 4, is free from rash or inflammation due to the action of the sterilizing ointment. In addition, the ointment also improves watertightness at the site. That is, since the nursing care urine 1 can be used day and night and can be used for a long time, the bedridden patient does not feel uncomfortable and can provide a great deal of assistance to the caregiver. If the urination receiver 4 becomes old or damaged, the urging receiver 4 is removed by removing the fastener 8 wrapped around the outer periphery of the connector 7 and then removing the semen reservoir of a new condom. 4 can be replaced, and replacement is simple and inexpensive.

In the above description, the air is forcibly sent into the urination receiver 4 using the air pump, but the air supply means of the present invention may be a natural air supply.
In the nursing care urine collector 1a shown in FIG. 5, a bent straw having a bellows-shaped neck portion is used as the air supply means 23a. That is, the bellows-side tip of the air supply means 23a is inserted into one of the through holes 6 of the spacer 5, and the other end is taken out of the opening 2 of the urination receptacle 4 to the outside.
By inserting the air supply means 23a into the through holes 6 of the spacer 5 in this manner, urine can be surely flowed toward the urination tube 9 without backflow from the air supply means 23a to the outside. It is preferable that the tip of the air supply means 23a taken out is arranged as high as possible to prevent leakage of urine.

In the case of the nursing urine collector 1a, not only the space in the spacer 5 but also the urine receiving portion 3 between the spacer 5 and the penis P
When the care receiver M moves his / her body, deformation of the urination receiver 4 causes air to be sent into or exhausted from the urine receiving unit 3 through the air supply means 23a. Thereby, the surface of the penis P can be dried. Since the nursing care urine 1a has a small amount of ventilation, it is desirable to use the urinary urinary urine 1a exclusively for use at night with a relatively small number of urinations.

Here, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a woman will be exemplified. That is, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the nursing urine collection device 1b for women includes a urination receiver 4b, a urination tube 9 for discharging urine in the urination receiver 4b to the outside, and a urination receiver 4b.
Contacting means 12b for adhering water around the female genital in a watertight manner
And air supply means for sending air into the urination receiver 4b.

The urination receiver 4b includes a frame 25 whose opening 2b is formed in a size and shape that covers the entire female genital including the urethral opening, and a urine receiving unit that receives discharged urine. 3b
It consists of The frame 25 is formed of a hard polyacrylic resin into a substantially inverted triangular cylindrical frame shape, and a soft silicone rubber material is applied over the entire circumference of the opening 2b. The urine receiving portion 3b is formed in a bag shape with a soft polyvinyl chloride resin. Also in this case, a sterilizing ointment is applied over the entire circumference of the opening 2b of the frame 25. One end of the urination tube 9 is connected to the bottom of the urine receiving portion 3b of the urination receiver 4b, and the other end is connected to a urinal having an exhaust pipe and an air supply adjusting valve (both not shown, see FIG. 1 etc.). I have.

The contact means 12b includes a belt 31 wound around the waist of the cared person, retaining rings 32, 33 attached to both sides of the belt 31, and a retaining ring protruding from the frame 25 of the urination receiver 4b. 27, 28, 29, and 30 and suspension strings 34, 35, 36, and 37 made of rubber strings. The urination receiver 4b is pulled upward by the contacting means 12b, and the opening 2b covers and adheres to the entire female genitalia. Further, the air supply means includes an air supply nozzle 26 provided at a front portion of the frame 25 so as to communicate with the inside of the urination receiver 4b, an air pipe 13 having one end attached to the air supply nozzle 26,
An air pump connected to the other end of the ventilation pipe 13 (not shown,
1 etc.).

Therefore, also in the urine collection device for nursing care 1b having such a configuration, the part of the female genital which is easily immersed in urine is well dried, and rash and inflammation hardly occur even when worn for a long time. In addition, the rash, inflammation, and the like can be suppressed by the action of the sterilizing ointment, and the watertightness of the site is also improved at the site that is in close contact with the opening 2b of the urination receiver 4b. That is, the nursing care urine collector 1b can be used for a long period of time for both women and women.

[0026]

As described above, according to the urine-collecting device for nursing care of the present invention, since the opening of the urination receptacle is in close contact with the periphery of the urethral opening in a watertight manner by the contacting means, the urine does not leak. It can be reliably received and discharged outside. In addition, since air is sent between the inner surface of the urination receptacle and the periphery of the urethral opening by the air supply means, the periphery of the urethral opening can be sufficiently dried. Therefore, the feeling of use is good, and the occurrence of rash, inflammation and the like can be suppressed even after long-term use. And since it can be realized with a simple configuration, it can be provided at low cost.

In the case of using air feeding means for sending air from the air pump into the urination receptacle, the air is forcibly fed around the urethral opening of the cared person, so that the inside of the urination container is placed around the urethral opening. A sufficient space separated from the peripheral surface can be secured. In addition, since the air is quickly dried by the supplied air, the occurrence of rash, inflammation, and the like can be prevented more reliably.
