Description

{A HAIR WASHER FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT}

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a medical hairwasher that can conveniently wash the hair of a patient lying in a hospital bed and having difficulty moving.

In general, washing the hair of patients who are unable to sit up or walk on their own, such as paralyzed patients or critically ill or paralyzed patients who have been bedridden for a long period of time, involves using a wet towel or protruding the patient's head from the bed and placing it on a chair. It's nothing more than a guardian getting caught over a washbasin.

Therefore, there is a problem in that hair cannot be washed properly when washing with a wet towel, and as a result, many guardians move the patient and wash the patient's hair directly with water from the wash basin, fearing fatal injury to the patient who should not be moved. Not only that, it requires a lot of labor on the part of the guardians, which can increase their fatigue, and the disposal work is cumbersome because water splashes on the surrounding floor.

For this purpose, prior art document Korea Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0192506 discloses a medical hairwasher.

The medical hairwasher of the prior literature includes a main bucket that accommodates water to wash the head, and is installed at the bottom of the main bucket to temporarily store water in the main circuit when washing or rinsing the main bucket several times. It consists of a support circuit.

The main bucket has a substantially cylindrical shape with an open top and a closed bottom, a bottom with a drain, a wall extending to the top of the bottom, an inlet with a predetermined high rate where the neck of the body can be placed, and the main bucket. It consists of a hanging portion extending downward from the wall portion.

The support bucket is composed of a support part supporting the lower part of the locking part, a side part extending downward from the support part to provide a water storage space, and a base part extending horizontally from the side part.

However, since it is made of strong, hard resin, even if the inlet part is molded to a certain curvature, it can cause pain due to pressure on the patient's neck area, and when the guardian or caregiver shampoos the patient's head, the guardian's arms become hard. There may be considerable pressure due to getting caught in the locking part of the device. In addition, because it is manufactured in two parts, the main bucket and the support bucket, the overall height is inevitably increased, which may cause strain to the patient's neck.

Additionally, since it was made of strong, hard resin, if it was not used, it took up a lot of storage space in the hospital room and was at risk of being easily damaged by external forces.

In addition, especially when the patient's hair was long, some of the washed hair was re-contaminated with water containing shampoo foam after washing, making it difficult to wash the patient cleanly.
