Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a gonad protective skirt, particularly a protective wrap skirt used to protect the gonads of patients during gastrointestinal X-ray diagnosis (X-ray diagnosis). , provides a wrap skirt that allows diagnosis to be carried out.

Inspections and diagnoses using X-rays (radiation) for the stomach, chest, etc., and other areas have become extremely common, and mass examinations, medical checkups, and adult disease examinations for healthy people are also being carried out. However, the frequency of exposure to X-rays has increased significantly.

Therefore, since these medical examinations involve multiple radiographs including fluoroscopy, it goes without saying that the radiation dose to areas other than the examination target area must be reduced as much as possible.

In particular, radiation exposure to the gonads and bone glands is a serious problem.

In other words, most of the subjects, both male and female, are of reproductive age, and the effects of radiation exposure are significant.

Of course, the gonadal exposure dose differs depending on the diagnosis site, but the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, etc. are diagnostic areas that are close to the gonads, so they must be shielded with particular care.

In particular, in recent years, X-ray television equipment has become widespread, and the incident direction of radiation is from the back to the abdomen, from the abdomen to the back, etc., and in fluoroscopic imaging of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, etc., it comes from 360 degrees. The current situation is that the gonads must be protected.

Therefore, simply covering one direction with an apron-like protective sheet as in the past is not only unable to provide sufficient shielding, but also makes it difficult to perform the medical examination itself reliably when considering the radiation dose to the gonads. be.

The present invention was developed in order to protect the examinee from radiation exposure under these circumstances, and it prevents the gonads from being exposed to radiation from 360° directions, and by wearing it, it is especially useful when rolling during body changes. The objective is to provide protective equipment that allows female subjects to undergo examinations with psychological peace of mind, while also allowing medical personnel to perform operations such as fluoroscopy and photography of necessary parts in a timely manner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front view showing an example of the skirt of the present invention, and 1 is the skirt body, which is made of a lead-containing rubber sheet or a lead-containing synthetic resin (e.g., vinyl chloride resin) sheet, and usually has a rubber content or Approximately 70 parts by weight of lead compounds per 100 parts by weight of resin
0 parts by weight was blended and uniformly dispersed.

Examples of lead compounds include lead oxide, lead sulfate, and lead carbonate, but heavy metal compounds such as iron oxide and tin oxide may also be used as long as they have X-ray blocking properties.

In the present invention, these are also referred to as lead-containing sheets.

Further, it goes without saying that the sheet according to the present invention may be lined with cloth or the like on the back side.

As shown in the drawing, it is a one-size-fits-all type with a normal length of about 50 cm, a circumference of about 100 cm around the top edge, and a circumference of about 120 cm around the hem, with fasteners such as cotton zippers 2, 2', 3, 3' is provided.

3 and 3' are installed almost in the middle, so they can be worn to open the hem of a patient's gown when undergoing a medical examination.
It is possible to prevent this, and to ensure that the gonad area is surrounded by the high lead equivalent area 4.

The shaded area 4 is a highly lead-containing (high lead equivalent) area formed in an area that completely surrounds the gonadal area, ie, the area where the gonads are located, when worn on the waist.

For a skirt with the above dimensions, the width is approximately 25 cm.

Normally, this portion can be formed by folding a plurality of lead-containing sheets, but the lead equivalent weight of this portion is of course not limited to this and may be increased by other means.

For example, the lead equivalent weight of the lower area 5 may be approximately three times that of the lower area 5 by folding it three times.

In this example, the lead equivalent of part 5 is 0.18 mmPb,
Part 4 is approximately Q, 5 mmPb.

Usually, the lead equivalent in area 4 is selected from the range of 0.3 to 1 mmPb, and the lead equivalent in area 5 is selected from the range of 0.1 to 0.2 mmPb.

In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes an auxiliary band made of a cotton zipper or the like attached to the back of the hem of the skirt body, which is attached to one thigh of the wearer when the wrap-around skirt is worn.

By wrapping it around the body and fixing it, the upper part will be prevented from moving during rolling, and the gonad area will be reliably protected.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing how the protective skirt of the present invention is worn on the human body, with the auxiliary band 6 being wrapped around one thigh.

Reference numeral 7 refers to breasts (not shown) for strings formed at appropriate intervals on the upper edge of the skirt body, and if the strings are passed through these and tied to the waist, it will be more securely attached, and will prevent gastroptosis or weight loss. It will not fall down during use, even for patients with a large body type.

The skirt of the present invention is normally worn by a subject (patient) after wearing an examination coat (patient coat) and then wrapping it around the waist with a stopper like a normal skirt.

The lower part 5 has a small amount of lead equivalent, so it is lightweight as a whole, and it does not cause any pain when worn and is one size fits all, so it fits according to the body shape of the examinee. Even when changing the patient's body position, the hem of the patient's clothing does not sag or come loose, making it easy to move the patient's legs, move up and down the examination table, and ensure that the gonads are covered evenly or completely during the examination. It can reliably protect you from radiation in 360° directions.

Furthermore, the test subject can undergo the test with psychological peace of mind.

Also, the attachment/detachment operation is extremely easy.

According to this invention, the amount of radiation exposure to non-examined areas can be reduced,
Not only does it protect the gonads, but it also allows both men and women to quickly change their position and perform a rolling motion during the examination, making it possible to capture minute mucosal images (barium deposits) in a timely manner during gastric examinations, providing a wealth of information. It also has great effects on medical examinations, such as the ability to safely obtain X-ray photographs during examinations.
