Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for preserving corpses and treating a discharged liquid. More specifically, in the preservation of corpse hygiene called embalming and in the preservation of corpses in the event of an incident, accident, disaster or funeral, problems such as contamination, odor, and treatment by body fluids from the corpse and effluent after the corpse treatment are discussed. How to improve.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The present inventors have conventionally proposed using a water-absorbent resin wrapped in a water-soluble film or a water-disintegrable paper to gel waste fluid generated from an autopsy body. This technology has been widely used.

On the other hand, a technique of restoring a mortal body by applying a preservative treatment or makeup to the body is called embalming (maintenance hygiene preservation) in Europe and the United States, and this embalming is a well-known technique exceeding 90% in Europe and the United States. However, in Japan, major funerals and forensic scientists have reported in recent years that they have applied for approval to the Ministry of Health and Welfare to create codes of practice and to establish a corporation for the purpose of training engineers. It is in. Embalming is a preservative technique that drains blood and instead injects a preservative into blood vessels to preserve the body. Injecting a colored antiseptic solution in place of the drained blood turns the face slightly pink with that color, making it look as if it were alive, and is attracting attention as a new medical and funeral technique.

[0004] In embalming, the body is usually disinfected and sterilized, and a preservative such as a formalin diluted and fixed solution colored in red is injected into the blood vessel. Will be applied. During this embalming,
The following are examples of cases where measures have been taken, involving the problem of contamination by bodily fluids, treatment problems, and the like. -1 Filling of incision wound (Case 1): The epidermis incision after the treatment of draining blood and injecting a preservative into the blood vessel was kneaded with, for example, cotton or shell powder with a water-thickening polymer before conventional suturing. Such sealants were encapsulated and sutured. Embalming effluent treatment: At the time of embalming, about 20 L of effluent mixed with blood and preservative is generated per unit. Conventionally, wastewater treatment plants dispose of the effluent by performing chemical treatment such as neutralization.

[0005] In addition to the embalming described above, in the preservation treatment of the corpse, the problem of contamination by body fluid or the like has been involved and countermeasures have been taken, and examples thereof are given below. -2 Incision filling (Case 2): In the UK, Singapore, etc., cremation of pacemaker-mounted bodies is prohibited by law, and in Japan there are no laws, but many facilities refuse to cremate pacemaker-mounted bodies. . For this reason, removal is performed at hospitals and embalming centers. Also in this case, the incision wound on the epidermis after the removal procedure was sealed with the same sealant as in the case 1 and sewn. Filling of nasal cavity, etc .: At the time of funeral, there is a concern that blood and body fluid may flow out of the ear cavity of the body, nasal cavity, oral cavity, etc., so-called recesses on the surface of the body, and may be contaminated. Conventionally, cotton and petrolatum have been filled to prevent this . Filling the wound repair part: In the mortuary preservation procedure for repairing the body lost due to trauma, plaster or cotton has been conventionally used for the damaged part.

Measures to Prevent Leaked Body Fluid Contamination: Body fluids such as blood and excretions often leak or leak from dead bodies, drowned bodies, decayed bodies, etc. having trauma such as burns or edema. In the past, it was fixed with tape or bandage using gauze at the leak site, etc.
It was difficult to prevent more than a certain amount of leakage, and liquid often leaked into clothes and futons in coffins. In particular, a large amount of putrefaction liquid is generated from drowned bodies and putrefactive bodies, and they give off odors when transported. Therefore, it was necessary to wrap the corpses in multiple layers with a large vinyl sheet to transfer them.

[0007] Measures to prevent leakage of the medicinal liquid: When the body is difficult to reflux and fix the medicinal liquid using the vascular system, or when a large number of bodies are generated due to a disaster or the like, the body contains a large amount of medicinal components such as preservatives. Spray the liquid fixative and contact the body with the liquid in the packing material such as the bag, vinyl sheet, vinyl suit for the body, etc. to prevent rot. In order to prevent leakage or evaporation of the liquid, these packaging materials have conventionally been used to wrap multiple layers.

[0008]

[0005] However, the above case
In, the following measures were inadequate. -1, 2 Incision filling: Cotton or the above-mentioned sealant did not have or was insufficient to gel body fluid and blood, and the effect of preventing leakage of body fluid and blood was insufficient. Embalming effluent treatment: Wastewater treatment increases the cost of the treatment plant and the running cost of the neutralizing agent. In addition, the discharge of the treated waste liquid as general wastewater does not have a very good feeling of the local residents. Filling of nasal cavity, etc .: Filling with cotton or petrolatum was insufficient for the effect of preventing blood and body fluid from flowing out.

[0009] Filling of the wound repair part: It is difficult to prevent leakage liquid with gypsum or cotton, and when gypsum is used, there is a problem that it remains unburned even after cremation. Measures to Prevent Contamination of Leaked Body Fluid: The body of a corpse caused by a disaster, incident, accident, etc., was spilled with body fluids and putrefactive liquid every time it was transported, and the surrounding area was soiled. For transport, it was necessary to wrap the body several times with a large vinyl sheet, but the effect of preventing putrefaction odor and contamination was still insufficient. Measures to prevent leakage of medicinal liquid: To prevent liquid leakage and evaporation
When wrapped in packaging materials, there was a problem that it could not fit inside the coffin, and leakage of the medicinal solution was still insufficient.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies in view of the above problems, and as a result, by applying the knowledge using a water-absorbing resin for gelation of waste body fluid at the time of dissection of the body, The present inventors have found that the effects of improving various problems in each of the above cases are extremely large and useful in the body preservation treatment such as embalming and the treatment of discharged liquid, and have reached the present invention.

Two or more of the water-swellable water-absorbing resins exemplified as (A) above may be used in combination.

Among these, preferred as the water-absorbent resin (A) are: and a partially hydrolyzed product of crosslinked polyacrylamide, crosslinked acrylic acid
Acrylamide copolymer, cross-linked polyacrylic acid
(Salt), a crosslinked acrylic acid-acrylic ester copolymer, a crosslinked isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and a crosslinked carboxylic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol.

The water-absorbent resin (A) has a water-absorbing performance with respect to pure water of at least 50 ml / g, especially 100 to 1,000.
Those with 0 ml / g are suitable. The water-absorbent resin (A) is usually in the form of powder or particles, and has a particle size of 5 mm.
The following are preferable in that they have a large water absorption surface area and high water absorption.

The water-absorbent resin (A) comprises a water-soluble film,
Water-disintegrating paper or a form wrapped in a laminate thereof, or a water-permeable packaging material (eg, tea) that does not spill the water-absorbent resin (A) even if it is insoluble in water -Paper used for bags or similar materials such as extensible fiber meshes such as stockings), when disposed in the form of <3> gel disposal or <6> leakage liquid It is convenient when treating a large amount of liquid, such as a pollution prevention measure and a medicinal liquid leakage prevention measure. When the water-absorbent resin (A) is wrapped in a water-soluble film, water-disintegrable paper or a laminate thereof with an appropriate size,
The packaging part dissolves or disintegrates in a short time, and the resin swells as soon as it comes into contact with water, so that the water-absorbent resin can be put into the required places at once, and there is no concern that resin powder or particles will spill out, and water absorption will start. There is no delay. When a water-insoluble water-permeable packaging material is used, it is necessary to have a size that does not prevent water swelling of the packaged water-absorbent resin (A).

As the water-disintegrable paper, a special paper which disintegrates in water usually within 5 minutes, preferably within 2 minutes, and more preferably within 1 minute, for example, pulp fibers of paper can be water-soluble or hydrophilic. Paper made by bonding with sizing agent, water-swellable polymer, etc., so that the pulp fibers are disintegrated apart upon contact with water ("Disorbo W" manufactured by Mishima Paper Co., Ltd.).

Examples of the water-soluble film include a water-soluble poval film, a starch film, a carrageenan film and the like. When compared with the same thickness, these films have a feature that the film dissolution (disintegration) rate is lower than that of the water-disintegrable paper, but the film strength in a dry state is large.

In addition, at least one laminated sheet obtained by laminating a water-disintegrable paper and a water-soluble film is preferable.
One or more of the above-mentioned water-disintegrable papers and water-soluble films are bonded and laminated (such as "Disolvo WAL" manufactured by Mishima Paper Co., Ltd., which is obtained by laminating a poval film to the above-mentioned "Disolvo WA"). These laminate sheets are characterized in that they dissolve (disintegrate) in water quickly and have high film strength. Since the thickness of the water-soluble film to be bonded can be reduced by the amount of the strength of the paper, both the dissolution (disintegration) rate and the film strength can be improved as a whole. Preferred among these are water-disintegrable paper and the above-mentioned laminate sheet, especially a laminate sheet.

In the filling of the incision wound portion of <1>, the treatment (1) is a corpse hygiene preservation treatment called embalming in which blood in the blood vessel is discharged through the incision in the epidermis of the body, and a colored preservative is injected and replaced. The treatment (2) is a treatment for removing the pacemaker from the skin incision of the body attached to the pacemaker, and in any case, at the completion of the treatment, the gelling agent comprising the water-absorbent resin (A) is removed. After filling the incision, the incision is sutured or joined. In the case of the treatment (1), the incision of the corpse epidermis is performed, for example, by utilizing the common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein in the neck, and injecting a coloring preservative into the aorta from the neck incision. It is convenient to drain the blood from the vein. As a coloring preservative,
For example, a conventionally used formalin diluted fixative colored in red like the blood can be used. As the blood replacement progresses, the fluid discharged from the superior vena cava
The blood concentration drops as if the blood and colored preservative were mixed. On the other hand, the surface such as the face of a corpse is restored to its original color by the action of the coloring preservative. In the case of the treatment (1), at the completion of the replacement work, and in the treatment (2), after taking out the pacemaker, the incision is filled with the gelling agent comprising the water-absorbent resin (A) from the incision. . Then, when the incision is sutured or joined, the water-absorbent resin (A) absorbs at a high water absorption capacity as soon as it comes into contact with blood or body fluid and swells as much as it absorbs, so that the liquid leaks from the closed incision. Are simply and efficiently prevented.

In the drainage gelling treatment of <2>, <
This is a method for treating an effluent composed of blood and an antiseptic which flows out of the body by a body health preservation treatment (1) referred to as embalming similar to 1>. This embalming procedure generates a large amount of drainage of about 20 L per unit.
A gelling agent made of a powdery or granular water-swellable water-absorbent resin (A) is charged into an arbitrary container such as an open petroleum can containing the discharged liquid, and if the mixture is desirably gently stirred, the whole gelation occurs. Progresses. As described above, when a certain amount of the gelling agent is in the form of being wrapped in a water-soluble film, water-disintegrable paper, or a laminate thereof, the amount of the gelling agent can be easily determined, so that it is convenient.
Since the waste liquid after gelation can be incinerated, the present gelation method is preferable as a method for treating a liquid contaminated with blood, body fluids, drugs, and the like.

The disposal of the gel of <3> is a method of disposing of the gel of the discharged liquid after the gelation treatment of the discharged liquid as described in <2> above. Put in combustible packaging materials such as plastic bags and cardboard boxes and incinerate. By incineration, there is an advantage that the concern of contamination by blood and chemicals constituting the effluent is completely eliminated. On the other hand, according to the method in which the gel of the discharged liquid is placed in a casket of a corpse, for example, beneath a futon, a sheet, etc., and the funeral is completed, and the cremation or burial is performed as it is, separate discharge liquid disposal work is omitted. In particular, according to cremation, it is also preferable in that the concern of contamination by blood and chemicals constituting the discharged liquid is completely eliminated. In the method of storing in a mortuary coffin, as described above, about 20 L of the discharged liquid is gelled, but this amount can be sufficiently stored in the coffin, for example, under a futon. For the gel of the discharged liquid, for example, a device is required in which a plastic bag is used as an inner bag and put in a cardboard box so as not to be easily recognized in the coffin, and the addition of the container weight is small and polite. It is also desirable to take the method for the belief of the bereaved family.

The filling of the nasal cavity etc. in <4> is performed before the funeral, etc.
The water-absorbent resin (A) is used in a part where body fluids such as blood, saliva, and excreta may flow out of the body, such as ear holes, nasal cavity, and oral cavity, or in the inner part of the body such as esophagus and esophagus. This is a method of filling a gelling agent. The water-absorbent resin (A) is in the form of powder or granules, and has a function of absorbing water at a high water absorption capacity and swelling as soon as it comes into contact with the body fluid, so that leakage of the body fluid is efficiently prevented and soiled during funeral services. It is convenient without anything.

The filling of the wound repairing part of <5> consists of the water-absorbent resin (A) for filling as a base of the surface layer part of the defective part or filling the damaged part in a maintenance procedure for repairing the body lost due to the injury. This method uses a gelling agent and repairs the surface layer. When the defect volume is large, the gelling agent in a bag that dissolves or disintegrates as described above may be used. Utilizing the fact that the water-absorbent resin (A) has a function of swelling as it absorbs and absorbs water at a high water absorption ratio,
It is preferred to swell with water to which a preservative may have been added up to the restoration level. By the action of the water-absorbent resin (A), leakage of blood or body fluid from gaps in the surface layer repaired by suturing, adhesion, or the like is efficiently prevented.

<6> Measures to prevent leakage of bodily fluids and preventive measures against leakage of the medicinal liquid are as follows. In the case of measures against the medicinal liquid, the medicinal liquid is sprinkled on the corpse. In the treatment, by using the gelling agent, measures to prevent leakage of bodily fluids include, for example, corpses having trauma or edema such as burns, drowning bodies, deceased bodies, etc. The corpses with high leakage are targeted. Measures to prevent medicinal liquid leakage include, for example, medicinal components such as preservatives, bactericides, etc., when the body is difficult to reflux and fix the medicinal liquid using the vascular system, or when a large number of bodies are generated due to a disaster or the like. Sprinkle with a medicinal agent (liquid or solid fixative) containing to prevent decay and bacterial growth by bringing the body into contact with the liquid in the packaging material. In this way, a large amount of medicinal solution is sprinkled on the body and packed. When wrapping in wood. In either case, as the packaging material, a delivery bag, a vinyl sheet, a vinyl suit for a corpse, or the like is used, and the inside thereof is made of a powdery or granular water-swellable water-absorbent resin (A). Sprinkle the gelling agent and wrap the body.

In the case of measures to prevent leaked liquid contamination, even if there are many spills and leaks of body fluids such as blood and excrement, a large amount of liquid can be gelled, and the corpses during storage and transfer of the corpses are stored. Contamination due to leakage or outflow can be efficiently prevented, and since a large amount of bodily fluids and the like are absorbed and retained, spoilage odor and chemical odor are greatly reduced. In the case of measures to prevent leakage of the medicinal solution, the water-swellable water-absorbent resin (A) absorbs and retains the medicinal solution sprinkled in large quantities on the corpse, and has the effect of releasing the medicinal component in a slow manner. It is possible to perform corpse treatment of
Even if a large number of bodies are caused by a large-scale disaster, use a cheap packing bag such as vinyl sheet, vinyl suit for mortuary, or work sheet without using a special packing bag, and use multiple layers. Even without wrapping, the embalmed body can be stored and transported in a coffin.

Gelled. After the treatment, the gel was placed in a black plastic garbage bag, placed in a cardboard box, and placed under a futon in a casket to complete the funeral. A small amount of Sunwet IM-5000D powder was inserted into each of the ear canal, nasal cavity, oral cavity, spiratory tract, and esophagus. There was no problem of dirt or smell due to leakage of body fluids during funeral and transportation, and the cremation was directly performed.

Example 3 In a deficient part of a corpse whose head was collapsed and lost due to a traffic accident,
An appropriate amount of Sunwet IM-5000D powder was filled, and a formalin diluted fixative was injected and swelled while observing the degree of swelling, and the filling volume was adjusted. Then, the epidermis was sutured and adhered and sealed. There was no dirt or odor problem due to leakage of blood or body fluid from the gaps in the repaired surface layer.

Example 4 In order to transport a corpse burned at the site of a fire accident and drenched with water for fire extinguishing, first, 20 pieces of water-absorbing agent in a bag were first placed in a delivery bag having a vertically attached chuck at the center of the upper surface. Disperse and put, put the corpse on it, further disperse 10 water-absorbing agents in the upper part of the corpse, put a suitable amount of liquid containing preservatives and bactericide over the whole corpse, close the chuck, put in the coffin It was transferred by a loading carrier. There was no contamination of the futon in the casket by the leaked liquid from the corpse, and no rotten smell was generated.
