Abstract

The invention concerns a restraint for retaining in their bed. patients needing protection from: 1) falling off, while keeping their mobility, 2) problems related to their personal hygiene. Said restraint made of a supple and washable fabric, consists of a bed sheet (1), a belt (2) to be fixed on the patient, and strap (4) to be fixed to the bed. The belt is attached on the patient at the waist, maintaining him in his bed, and the bed sheet is normally tucked in. On said belt is superposed a strap which is fixed to the bed lateral vertical members by a system which can be quickly fastened/unfastened to facilitate emergency interventions. Said restraint prevents the patient from slipping his hands under the sheet to tamper with the medical or hygienic devices placed there. The device reduces the interventions of the nursing personnel and preserves the patient's dignity maintaining him clean and covered.

Description

DRAP HYGIENIQUE ET ANTI CHUTES HYGIENIC AND FALL PROTECTION SHEET
L'invention vise à résoudre simultanément deux problèmes majeurs rencontrés par le personnel soignant face à certains types de malades: le maintien de leur hygiène, et la prévention des chutes.The invention aims to simultaneously solve two major problems encountered by nursing staff in dealing with certain types of patients: maintaining their hygiene, and preventing falls.
Rien n'existe vraiment dans ce domaine, si ce n'est un - système de barrières métalliques adaptables au lit.Nothing really exists in this area, except a - metal barrier system adaptable to the bed.
Celles-ci ne traitent pas le problème de l'hygiène et se révèlent parfois dangereuses, car la personne alitée est souvent inconsciente ou agitée, et peut donc s'entraver dans les barreaux ou s'y cogner.These do not deal with the problem of hygiene and sometimes prove dangerous, because the bedridden person is often unconscious or agitated, and can therefore get bogged down or banged on bars.
Restent des moyens de fortune: quelques oreillers mis en - place . . .Remains of makeshift means: a few pillows put in place. . .
Cette invention est donc destinée au maintien dans leur lit, et dans de bonnes conditions, des personnes grabataires, ou malades n'ayant plus de notions d'hygiène et de danger. Elle peut également, et dans certains cas être adaptée aux enfants. - Ce dispositif est composé, selon une première caractéristique, d'un drap, fixé à la taille du patient par une ceinture, et d'une sangle qui fixe l'ensemble au lit.This invention is therefore intended to keep bedridden or sick people in their bed, and in good conditions, with no more notions of hygiene and danger. It can also, and in some cases be adapted to children. - This device is composed, according to a first characteristic, of a sheet, fixed to the patient's waist by a belt, and of a strap which fixes the whole to the bed.
Une hygiène optimale est ainsi réalisée, car entre le plan du lit où il est posé et la ceinture mise en place, il lui est impossible de glisser ses - mains sous le drap, (la sangle devenant solidaire du plan du lit à partir de sa taille). Ainsi, cette contention s'adresse particulièrement à des personnes qui sont incontinentes et à demi lucides, en les empêchant de se découvrir ou de dégrader les dispositifs mis en place : couches, sondes urinaires, etc. Seront donc évités les gros dommages hygiéniques, gênant pour le malade, et générateurs de tâches - supplémentaires pour le personnel soignant.Optimal hygiene is thus achieved, because between the plane of the bed where it is placed and the belt in place, it is impossible for him to slip his hands under the sheet, (the strap becoming integral with the plane of the bed from his cut). Thus, this restraint is particularly intended for people who are incontinent and semi-lucid, preventing them from discovering themselves or degrading the devices put in place: diapers, urinary catheters, etc. Large hygienic damage, bothersome for the patient and task generators - additional for the nursing staff, will therefore be avoided.
Une sécurité optimale est également atteinte, face aux chutes éventuelles du lit, en conservant au malade sa mobilité et son confort. En effet, il peut bouger librement en étant seulement limité au centre de son lit. Cette ceinture n'empêche aucunement les différentes positions selon les besoins, à - savoir assis ou sur le côté.Optimal security is also achieved, in the face of possible falls from the bed, while preserving the patient's mobility and comfort. Indeed, he can move freely while being only limited to the center of his bed. This belt in no way prevents the different positions as needed, ie sitting or on the side.
Enfin, il est capital de souligner que de cette manière, la dignité du malade est préservée, car il reste propre et couvert. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:Finally, it is essential to emphasize that in this way, the dignity of the patient is preserved, because he remains clean and covered. According to particular embodiments:
- le drap peut-être du type "drap-housse" sur sa partie basse pour en faciliter sa mise en place au pied du lit.- the sheet may be of the "fitted sheet" type on its lower part to facilitate its positioning at the foot of the bed.
- la sangle peut être amovible, et glissée dans un fourreau - constitué sur la ceinture.- the strap can be removable, and slipped into a sheath - formed on the belt.
- les fixations de la sangle sur les montants latéraux du lit, peuvent être constituées d'une partie pré-installée sur ces montants, et munie d'un système d'accrochage/décrochage rapide à la sangle, du type ceinture de sécurité automobile ou similaire. - - la sangle peut être munie d'un système de réglage en longueur.- the strap attachments on the lateral uprights of the bed, may consist of a part pre-installed on these uprights, and provided with a fastening / quick release system to the strap, of the automobile seat belt type or similar. - - the strap can be fitted with a length adjustment system.
Le schéma 1 représente les divers éléments.Figure 1 shows the various elements.
Le schéma 2 représente le dispositif installé sur le lit.Diagram 2 represents the device installed on the bed.
- En référence à ces schémas, ce dispositif comporte un drap de textile souple et lavable (1), de qualité identique à ceux employés dans les unités de soins, mais plus court dans le sens de la longueur car devant s'arrêter aux 3/4 du lit.- With reference to these diagrams, this device comprises a flexible and washable textile sheet (1), of identical quality to those used in the care units, but shorter in the length direction because it must stop at 3 / 4 of the bed.
Fixée sur 50 cm environ à la partie supérieure du drap, une - ceinture (2), d'environ 10 cm de large et 110 cm de long (pour un gabarit moyen), en tissu identique au drap mais légèrement capitonnée. Ses deux extrémités sont destinées à aller se rejoindre dans le dos du patient à hauteur de sa taille, et à se fixer entre elles. Pour que leur assemblage ne laisse pas d'épaisseur gênante dans le dos, elles devront simplement s'appliquer l'une sur - l'autre, le poids du malade venant compléter l'efficacité d'attaches antiglisse ou similaires (3).Fixed around 50 cm at the top of the sheet, a - belt (2), about 10 cm wide and 110 cm long (for an average size), in fabric identical to the sheet but slightly padded. Its two ends are intended to join in the back of the patient at waist level, and to be fixed between them. So that their assembly does not leave an embarrassing thickness in the back, they should simply be applied one on - the other, the patient's weight coming to complete the effectiveness of non-slip fasteners or the like (3).
Une sangle (4), en textile renforcé ou similaire, fixée sur toute la largeur du drap, en haut de celui-ci et donc en superposition avec la ceinture, permet de solidariser le dispositif avec le Ut. Pour des raisons de - sécurité et pour faciliter les interventions, un système d'accrochage/décrochage rapide devra être utilisé pour lier la sangle avec les montants latéraux du lit.A strap (4), made of reinforced textile or the like, fixed over the entire width of the sheet, at the top of the sheet and therefore superimposed on the belt, makes it possible to secure the device with the Ut. For reasons of - safety and to facilitate interventions, a quick coupling / unhooking system must be used to link the strap with the lateral uprights of the bed.
Le pan de drap restant de chaque côté est appelé à être bordé normalement sous le matelas, mais très souplement. Le malade ne doit en aucune façon être serré dans sa literie, il doit rester libre de tous ses mouvements. The sheet of sheet remaining on each side is called to be bordered normally under the mattress, but very flexibly. The patient must in no way be tightened in his bedding, he must remain free of all his movements.
