Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a medical treatment bed that allows physically disabled people, such as old people and sick people, to easily defecate while lying down.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, people who lie down in bed due to illness or the like defecate while lying on the bed. When defecating, the excretory device is usually inserted under the buttocks, so it is difficult to change the position of the body, or the body is in an awkward position, making it difficult to defecate easily. It is something. Furthermore, each time the patient has a bowel movement, the caregiver must lift the patient's body, change the direction of the patient's body, and take care of the patient, which requires a considerable amount of effort.

Therefore, there is a need for a bed that allows even sick people and physically disabled elderly people to defecate easily while lying down.

Hitherto, as a device that satisfies this demand, there has been provided a be-throat that allows a person to defecate easily while lying down. This bed is constructed so that when a patient defecates, a portion of the bed corresponding to the patient's lower buttocks collapses to a predetermined size and opens, and an excretory device is raised from below this opening.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the conventional defecation bed described above has a form in which the excreta is inserted from under the bed, the height of the bed is inevitably high. It is difficult to go up and down the excreta, it is not easy to use, and the excreta cannot be inserted manually, so the excreta membrane attachment device etc. are complicated and expensive, making it difficult to widely use the excreta. The problem is that it is difficult.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to enable people with physical disabilities such as sick people to defecate in a comfortable position, and to make it possible to defecate in a comfortable position. To provide a medical treatment bed that has excellent workability such as putting on and taking off, and is easy to handle.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, a base 10 for lying down the body, and at least a waist part for raising the upper body from the waist while keeping the body substantially horizontal in order to create a space for placing the excreta 18 between the buttocks of the body and the base 10 during defecation. It is characterized by comprising a lifting means 12.
