Description

Description Urine collector for men and urine collection method using the same

The present invention relates to a urine treatment device for a bedridden patient, an elderly person, and the like. Background art

With the aging of society, the number of bedridden patients for various reasons is increasing. Those who have difficulty handling urination on their own generally use swaddling, but have problems such as the time and labor required for replacement, the contact between the swaddling and skin, and the high cost. There was a heavy burden on caregivers. On the other hand, in recent years, paper-made items have become the mainstream of swaddling, and there has been a demand for urine collection devices that can replace swaddling in consideration of the environment.

In response to these demands, various urine collectors have been developed. Particularly for men, a urine sack is attached to the penis by attaching a sack on rubber to the penis as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-1092347. A urine collector of the type guided to a urinal is disclosed. Also, the inventions disclosed in JP-A-59-46519 and JP-A-60-1009617 also disclose external urine collection using a hose having a urine collector attached to the penis. The structure for storing urine in the vessel was common and was not practical in the following respects.

1. Difficult to clean due to complex structure.

2. Easy to get dirty.

3. Price is high

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H08-3222869 discloses a urinal in which a urine storing part and a penis fixing part are integrated, but it is not always worn on the body and used.

An object of the present invention is to provide a low-priced male urine collector which is easy to clean without requiring a complicated structure, and to provide a simple urination method using the urinal. Disclosure of the invention

FIG. 8 shows a penis fixing ring used in Example 1, and FIG. 9 shows a penis fixing ring used in Example 3. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

The container (1) and the penis fixing ring (3) are formed by inserting a penis (4) into a ring-shaped penis fixing ring (3), and then holding a penis fixing part ( 2) has a structure to fix the penis by press-fitting it. When the diameter of the penis fixing part at the tip of the container (1) is a and the diameter of the penis fixing ring (3) is A, a and A preferably satisfies the relationship a A ≤ 2 a, and more preferably satisfies the relationship 1.2 a ≤ A 2 a.

It is preferable that the material of the container (1) is lightweight because a large mass may cause the material to fall off. A synthetic resin represented by methacrylate or a copolymer thereof is preferred. The shape of the container can be various depending on the amount of urine stored, but it has a capacity to store urine for eight hours, which is a general sleep time, and is also bedridden. Preferably, the lower end of the container supports the weight of the bedding when the wearer wears it. Therefore, it is preferably teardrop-shaped, and the penis fixing part (2) preferably forms an angle of 5 to 80 degrees with respect to the axis of the main body, so that it does not fall during storage or urine treatment. Teardrops on It is preferable to provide a flat surface on a part of the mold, and it is also preferable to attach a handle for convenient transportation. It is particularly preferable to have these shapes at the same time. Urine accumulates at the bottom of volume 1) (5).

The diameter of the penis 揷 entrance of the penis fixing ring (3) may be large enough to insert the penis, but if the penis is directly inserted into the ring without using an instrument, the average diameter of the penis during relaxation b, It is preferable that the diameter B of the penis inlet of the penis fixing ring (3) satisfies the relationship of b≤B 1.5 b. When attaching the penis fixing ring (3) to the penis using a tubular applicator having a diameter slightly larger than b, insert the applicator into the ring in advance, and then insert the penis into the tubular applicator to apply the penis to the penis. Remove the ring and attach the ring to the penis. In this case, it is preferable to satisfy 0.5 b≤B≤l.5b.

It is preferable that the material of the penis fixing ring (3) has appropriate air permeability because it directly touches the penis, and a sponge, a sponge, or the like can be used. A sponge other than a general polyurethane sponge can be used. Melamine products, cellulose products and the like are known, but other materials that do not adversely affect the human body can be used. The sponge used for the ring has properties ranging from high-density to low-density.However, from the viewpoint of air permeability, the air bubbles are uneven and the density is relatively low. .

Preferably, the penis fixing ring (3) is cut out from the penis insertion opening so as to be easily detached.

The outer circumference of the penis fixation ring (3) is practical without using a special shape or material for press-fitting the ring, but it is preferable to add a non-slip to the outer circumference to make it more difficult to fall off . As a non-slip, it is preferable to stick rubber having a thickness of about lmm to the entire circumference or a part of the ring.

It is preferable to use only one penis fixing ring (3), but it is also preferable to use a plurality of rings as necessary. When two or more penis fixation rings (3) can be combined, in this case, insert the penis fixation ring (35) into one penis fixation ring (34) and insert both penis fixation rings. Preferably, the penis is inserted into the hole.

The urine collection device of the present invention is worn on a user who is almost incapable of turning over. It is particularly preferable to use it for a wearer who needs nursing care of about 4 or 5 requiring nursing care, which is specified in the state of requiring nursing care described in Article 7 of the Japan Long-Term Care Insurance Law. Specifically, the ability to perform daily life has declined considerably, such as bathing / excretion, putting on and taking off clothes, and many other activities that require full assistance, or the ability to perform daily life. It is preferable to use it for a wearer whose condition is significantly reduced and requires full assistance throughout his / her life.

In the urination method using the urinal of the present invention, it is also possible to attach a pipe-shaped applicator to the penis beforehand, attach it to the penis fixing ring, and then attach it according to the above-mentioned method. Is preferred. Another advantage is that the penis does not need to be touched directly. Example

The urine of the present invention was attached to a male care recipient requiring certification for nursing care 4 by the following method.

The penis anchoring ring (3) was made of Sanko Co., Ltd. as an extra-large sponge (material: cellulite foam). The diameter A of the penis anchoring ring (3) was 65 mm as shown in Fig. 8, and the penis inlet The diameter B was 30 mm and the ring thickness was 30 mm.

The urine storage container used was Asai Shoji Co., Ltd. made of acetate, and a diamond-marked transparent urinal for men. The diameter a of the fixed part of the penis of this container is 55 mm.

As shown in Fig. 3, the penis is inserted into the ring until it reaches the base, then the ring is compressed and inserted into the penis fixing part of the urine container. (Figures 4 and 5)

Figure 6 shows the positional relationship between the wearer and the urinary device after the device has been mounted. In the case of this embodiment, since the wearer is lying sideways, the urine can be placed beside the wearer.

By using the urine of the present invention, the swaddling which has been conventionally used at bedtime is hardly used. Also, since no complicated mechanism is required, cleaning is easy and the mental burden on the wearer can be reduced. (Example 2)

A 15 mm square, 1 mm thick rubber was attached at equal intervals to the periphery of the penis fixing ring (3) used in Example 1 to prevent slippage. The urine of the present invention was used in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the wearer slept on his / her back with the penis fixing ring. In this case, the urine is in the form of pressure on the crotch of the wearer lying on his back. (Fig. 7)

In this embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment were obtained. Urinary tracts are less likely to fall off than in this case.

(Comparative Example 1)

It was worn by the same wearer as in Example 1 using an easy urinal manufactured by Combi. Although this urinary organ was not inferior to the function of collecting urine, it was apt to become dirty due to its complicated structure and difficulty in cleaning. In addition, since the device is complicated and must be fastened with a belt or the like to the wearing, the comfort of the wearer is impaired and the psychological burden is heavy.

(Example 3) ''

As shown in Fig. 9, the diameter A of the penis fixation ring (34) is 65 mm, the diameter B of the penis insertion opening is 35 mm, and the thickness of the ring is 25 mm. The diameter A was 65 mm, the penis 揷 inlet diameter B was 35 mm, and the ring thickness was 25 mm. Two penis retaining rings were combined such that one penis retaining ring was inserted with the other penis retaining ring. Otherwise, the urinal of the present invention was used in the same manner as in Example 1.

In this embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment were obtained. Urinary tracts are less likely to fall off than in this case. Industrial applicability
