Description

Bassin médical Medical pool
La présente invention concerne un bassin médical utilisé pour recueillir les urines et les matières fécales d'une personne alitée et allongée sur le dos.The present invention relates to a medical basin used to collect the urine and faeces of a bedridden person lying on his back.
Dans un brevet FR-A-2 789 892 déposé par le demandeur, un bassin médical a la structure suivante. Le bassin médical est constitué d'un réservoir dont l'ouverture est, d'une part, bordée latéralement par deux ailes et, d'autre part, bordée dans une direction médiane aux ailes par une face d'appui. La face d'appui se raccorde aux ailes par des parois latérales.In a patent FR-A-2 789 892 filed by the applicant, a medical basin has the following structure. The medical basin consists of a reservoir, the opening of which is, on the one hand, bordered laterally by two wings and, on the other hand, bordered in a median direction to the wings by a bearing face. The bearing face is connected to the wings by side walls.
Les ailes sont destinées à recevoir respectivement les parties hautes arrière des cuisses de la personne. La face d'appui permet de supporter la partie lombaire du dos, alors que les parois latérales sont prévues pour recevoir respectivement le creux des fesses de ladite personne.The wings are intended to receive respectively the upper rear parts of the thighs of the person. The bearing face makes it possible to support the lumbar part of the back, while the side walls are provided for receiving respectively the hollow of the buttocks of said person.
Lorsqu'une personne demeure alitée fréquemment pendant une longue période, de l'ordre de plusieurs semaines, il arrive que les parties de la personne en contact avec la literie finissent par s'irriter. Ces irritations rendent très inconfortable l'utilisation du bassin médical. On comprend alors que son utilisation s'avère pénible, voire insupportable, lorsque la personne souffre d'escarres qui se forment souvent au niveau de certaines parties osseuses. Cette situation se rencontre en particulier chez les personnes souffrant de dénutrition.When a person remains bedridden frequently for a long period of time, on the order of several weeks, it can happen that the parts of the person in contact with the bedding become irritated. These irritations make the use of the medical basin very uncomfortable. We understand that its use is painful, even unbearable, when the person suffers from pressure sores which often form in the level of certain bone parts. This situation is particularly encountered in people suffering from undernutrition.
Le but de l'invention est donc de proposer un bassin médical comprenant un réservoir dont l'ouverture est, d'une part, bordée latéralement par deux ailes et, d'autre part, bordée dans une direction médiane aux ailes par une face d'appui qui se raccorde aux ailes par des parois latérales et qui puisse être utilisé dans les meilleures conditions de confort possibles par des personnes souffrant d'escarres au niveau de certaines parties osseuses ou par des personnes souffrant de dénutrition.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a medical basin comprising a reservoir whose opening is, on the one hand, bordered laterally by two wings and, on the other hand, bordered in a median direction to the wings by a face d 'support which is connected to the wings by side walls and which can be used in the best possible conditions of comfort by people suffering from bedsores in certain bone parts or by people suffering from malnutrition.
A cet effet, le bassin médical comprenant un réservoir dont l'ouverture est, d'une part, bordée latéralement par deux ailes et, d'autre part, bordée dans une direction médiane aux ailes par une face d'appui qui se raccorde aux ailes par des parois latérales, est remarquable en ce que la face d'appui comporte une cavité prévue pour recevoir la partie saillante du sacrum d'une personne installée sur ledit bassin médical et en évitant que la partie saillante du sacrum ne puisse entrer en contact avec le bassin médical.To this end, the medical basin comprising a reservoir, the opening of which is, on the one hand, bordered laterally by two wings and, on the other hand, bordered in a median direction to the wings by a bearing face which is connected to the wings by side walls, is remarkable in that the bearing face comprises a cavity intended to receive the projecting part of the sacrum of a person installed on said medical pelvis and avoiding that the projecting part of the sacrum cannot come into contact with the medical pool.
Ainsi, le bassin médical procure un confort d'utilisation aux personnes souffrant d'escarres au niveau du sacrum.Thus, the medical basin provides comfort of use to people suffering from pressure sores in the sacrum.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la cavité possède un débouché dont la géométrie forme un triangle et est adaptée à la morphologie de la partie saillante du sacrum.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cavity has an outlet whose geometry forms a triangle and is adapted to the morphology of the projecting part of the sacrum.
Avantageusement l'un des sommets du triangle est tourné en direction du réservoir pour recouvrir parfaitement la morphologie du sacrum de la personne installée.Advantageously, one of the vertices of the triangle is turned towards the reservoir to perfectly cover the morphology of the sacrum of the person installed.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le fond du réservoir est plat de manière à limiter l'enfoncement du bassin médical sur un support souple, tel que le matelas d'un lit. Le bassin médical est alors rendu plus stable sur son support.According to another characteristic of the invention, the bottom of the tank is flat so as to limit the depression of the medical basin on a flexible support, such as the mattress of a bed. The medical basin is then made more stable on its support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la face d'appui est disposée dans le plan passant par le fond de manière à ce qu'elle puisse constituer une ligne d'appui destinée, en association avec le fond, à procurer une assise stable au bassin médical sur ledit support souple. Les risques de renversement du bassin médical sur son support sont par conséquent réduits.According to another characteristic of the invention, the support face is arranged in the plane passing through the bottom so that it can constitute a support line intended, in association with the bottom, to provide a stable seat to the medical basin on said flexible support. The risk of the medical basin overturning on its support is therefore reduced.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la face d'appui forme avec le plan passant par le fond un angle β compris entre 12° et 16° de manière à permettre à la personne installée sur le bassin médical que son dos puisse adopter une position de cyphose lombaire où la partie lombaire du dos de la personne repose sur ladite face d'appui et la partie haute de son dos repose sur ledit support souple.According to another characteristic of the invention, the bearing face forms with the plane passing through the bottom an angle β between 12 ° and 16 ° so as to allow the person installed on the medical basin that his back can adopt a position of lumbar kyphosis where the lumbar part of the person's back rests on said support face and the upper part of their back rests on said flexible support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la face d'appui possède une section transversale concave lui permettant d'épouser la courbure naturelle de la partie lombaire du dos comprenant les ischions et le sacrum de la personne. La pression de la partie lombaire du dos est alors mieux répartie sur la face d'appui.According to another characteristic of the invention, the bearing face has a concave cross section allowing it to match the natural curvature of the lumbar part of the back comprising the ischions and the sacrum of the person. The pressure of the lumbar part of the back is then better distributed on the support surface.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'intersection entre la face d'appui et le réservoir est constituée par une bordure d'étanchéité destinée à coopérer avec la peau de la personne pour éviter le passage d'urine ou d'excréments vers la face d'appui.According to another characteristic of the invention, the intersection between the bearing face and the reservoir is constituted by a sealing border intended to cooperate with the person's skin to prevent the passage of urine or excrement towards the support face.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, une partie transversale du bassin médical incluant la bordure d'étanchéité constitue une zone de déformation entre la face d'appui et les autres parties du bassin médical, ce qui permet de faire varier légèrement l'angle β de manière à ce que la personne installée sur le bassin médical puisse trouver une position convenable la plus confortable.According to another characteristic of the invention, a transverse part of the medical basin including the sealing edge constitutes a deformation zone between the bearing face and the other parts of the medical basin, which makes it possible to vary the angle slightly β so that the person installed on the medical basin can find a most comfortable suitable position.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les bords latéraux du bassin médical sont prolongés respectivement par des retours formant nervures de rigidification destinées à rigidifier le bassin médical afin de limiter l'amplitude des déformations angulaires entre la face d'appui et les autres parties du bassin médical. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les ailes sont prolongées longitudinalement en direction de la partie non-bordée du réservoir par des parois arrondies dont les bords libres convergent suivant une direction descendante vers ladite partie non-bordée du réservoir pour améliorer le confort de la personne lorsqu'elle est installée sur le bassin médical. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bassin médical comprend des moyens de préhension.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lateral edges of the medical basin are extended respectively by returns forming stiffening ribs intended to stiffen the medical basin in order to limit the amplitude of the angular deformations between the bearing face and the other parts of the medical basin. According to another characteristic of the invention, the wings are extended longitudinally in the direction of the non-bordered part of the tank by rounded walls whose free edges converge in a descending direction towards said non-bordered part of the tank to improve the comfort of the person when installed on the medical basin. According to another characteristic of the invention, the medical basin comprises gripping means.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de préhension sont constitués par des ouvertures réalisées respectivement au travers des retours et destinées à permettre l'insertion de doigts d'une main. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bassin médical comporte des moyens d'accrochage et de préhension.According to another characteristic of the invention, the gripping means are constituted by openings made respectively through the returns and intended to allow the insertion of fingers of one hand.

Dans un mode de réalisation, non représenté, les moyens d'accrochage et de préhension 1 10 sont constitués par deux orifices réalisés respectivement dans les parois arrondies 310a et 310b. Les moyens d'accrochage et de préhension 110 peuvent être utilisés, soit comme moyen(s) d'accrochage du bassin médical 100 sur un support, soit comme moyen(s) de préhension, en particulier pour amener le bassin médical 100 sous la personne ou le retirer. Des moyens de préhension 130à et 130b sont prévus sur le bassin médical 100. Ces moyens de préhension 130a, 130b sont avantageusement constitués par des ouvertures 130a, 130b réalisées respectivement au travers des retours 120a, 120b et qui sont destinées à permettre l'insertion de doigts d'une main. Seule une ouverture 130b réalisée dans le retour 120b est visible à cette Fig. Les ouvertures 130a et 130b sont également disposées de telle manière que le pouce de la main de préhension puisse prendre appui sur la face d'appui 400. Ces moyens de préhension 130a, 130b permettent également, par leurs dispositions, la préhension du bassin médical par la personne utilisatrice. La face d'appui 400 est également pourvue d'une cavité 410. Celle-ci est positionnée de telle manière qu'elle puisse être située en face du sacrum d'une personne lorsqu'elle est installée sur ledit bassin médical 100. La cavité 410 permet ainsi de recevoir la partie saillante du sacrum de la personne tout en évitant qu'elle ne puisse entrer en contact avec la face d'appui 400 du bassin médical 100 lorsque ladite personne est installée sur ledit bassin médical 100. La cavité 410 possède à cet effet un débouché dont la géométrie forme un triangle et qui est ainsi adaptée à la morphologie de la partie saillante du sacrum. La cavité 410 est particulièrement utile aux personnes dénutries ou atteintes d'escarres sacrées.In Fig. 1, hooking and gripping means 110 are provided on the medical basin 100. The hooking and gripping means 110 advantageously consist of an orifice formed in a protrusion formed on said non-bordered part of the tank 200. In one embodiment, not shown, the attachment and gripping means 1 10 consist of two orifices made respectively in the rounded walls 310a and 310b. The hooking and gripping means 110 can be used either as means (s) for hooking the medical pelvis 100 on a support, or as gripping means (s), in particular for bringing the medical pelvis 100 under the person or remove it. Gripping means 130a and 130b are provided on the medical basin 100. These gripping means 130a, 130b are advantageously constituted by openings 130a, 130b produced respectively through returns 120a, 120b and which are intended to allow the insertion of fingers of one hand. Only an opening 130b made in the return 120b is visible in this FIG. The openings 130a and 130b are also arranged in such a way that the thumb of the gripping hand can bear on the bearing face 400. These gripping means 130a, 130b also allow, by their arrangements, the gripping of the medical basin by the user. The bearing face 400 is also provided with a cavity 410. This is positioned in such a way that it can be located opposite the sacrum of a person when it is installed on said medical basin 100. The cavity 410 thus makes it possible to receive the projecting part of the sacrum of the person while avoiding that it cannot come into contact with the bearing face 400 of the medical basin 100 when said person is installed on said medical basin 100. The cavity 410 has for this purpose an outlet whose geometry forms a triangle and which is thus adapted to the morphology of the projecting part of the sacrum. The cavity 410 is particularly useful for undernourished people or suffering from sacred bedsores.
L'un des sommets du triangle de la cavité 410 est avantageusement tourné en direction du réservoir 200 pour recouvrir parfaitement la moφhologie du sacrum de la personne installée.One of the vertices of the triangle of the cavity 410 is advantageously turned in the direction of the reservoir 200 to perfectly cover the moouvrirhology of the sacrum of the installed person.
Le bassin médical 100 peut être fabriqué par thermoformage ou par injection de matière plastique dans un moule. La matière utilisée pour la fabrication du bassin médical 100 est une matière choisie, d'une part, pour ses propriétés de résistance aux agressions chimiques des principaux agents de nettoyage, tels que l'eau de Javel® ou l'ammonium quaternaire et, d'autre part, pour sa tenue au lavage à la vapeur.

La surface du bassin médical destinée à être mise en contact avec la peau d'un utilisateur peut présenter un aspect granité afin de réduire l'adhérence de la peau avec lesdites parois du bassin médical et ainsi faciliter le retrait dudit bassin médical après usage.The surface of the medical basin intended to be brought into contact with the skin of a user may have a granular appearance in order to reduce the adhesion of the skin with said walls of the medical basin and thus facilitate the removal of said medical basin after use.
A la Fig. 3, le bassin médical 100 est représenté reposant sur le matelas M d'un lit et sur lequel est installée une personne allongée sur le dos. Une poche amovible 250, non représentée à cette Fig., est éventuellement logée dans le réservoir 200.In Fig. 3, the medical basin 100 is shown resting on the mattress M of a bed and on which is installed a person lying on his back. A pocket removable 250, not shown in this FIG., is possibly housed in the reservoir 200.
Le bassin médical 100 est glissé sous cette personne de manière à ce que la face d'appui 400 soit recouverte par la partie lombaire de son dos. Le creux des fesses doit également entrer en contact avec les parois latérales 500a et 500b, et les parties hautes arrière des cuisses doivent reposer respectivement sur les ailes 300a etThe medical pelvis 100 is slid under this person so that the bearing face 400 is covered by the lumbar part of his back. The hollow of the buttocks must also come into contact with the side walls 500a and 500b, and the rear upper parts of the thighs must rest respectively on the wings 300a and
300b, les talons reposant alors sur le matelas M.300b, the heels then resting on the mattress M.
La partie saillante du sacrum de la personne est alors positionnée dans la cavité 410 sans qu'elle puisse entrer en contact avec le bassin médical 100. La charge du corps en contact avec le bassin médical 100 est transmise au matelas, d'une part, par le fond 210 du réservoir 200 et, d'autre part, par l'extrémité libre de la face d'appui 400, ce qui lui procure une bonne stabilité.The projecting part of the sacrum of the person is then positioned in the cavity 410 without it being able to come into contact with the medical pelvis 100. The load of the body in contact with the medical pelvis 100 is transmitted to the mattress, on the one hand, by the bottom 210 of the tank 200 and, on the other hand, by the free end of the bearing face 400, which gives it good stability.
L'absence de moyen(s) de rigidification sur la face d'appui 400 dans ses différents plans transversaux procure de la souplesse à ladite face d'appui 400, ce qui lui permet de se conformer facilement à la courbure naturelle de la partie lombaire du dos de la personne.The absence of stiffening means on the support face 400 in its various transverse planes provides flexibility to said support face 400, which allows it to easily conform to the natural curvature of the lumbar part. from the person's back.
La position de la face d'appui 400 avec le matelas M permet à la personne d'adopter une posture où son dos est en position de cyphose lombaire. Le maintien procuré par les ailes 300a et 300b au niveau des cuisses facilite également l'adoption de cette posture. La zone de déformation incluant la bordure d'étanchéité 220 permet à la personne de s'installer confortablement sur le bassin médical 100.The position of the support face 400 with the mattress M allows the person to adopt a posture where his back is in the position of lumbar kyphosis. The support provided by the wings 300a and 300b at the thighs also facilitates the adoption of this posture. The deformation zone including the sealing border 220 allows the person to settle comfortably on the medical basin 100.
La position de cyphose lombaire est la plus favorable pour faire ses besoins naturels, car elle facilite la contraction de la ceinture abdominale. En effet, le corps étant positionné horizontalement, les globes fessiers ne sont plus contractés et la ceinture abdominale peut ainsi travailler dans les meilleures conditions possibles pour aider le travail d'expulsion.The position of lumbar kyphosis is the most favorable for natural needs, because it facilitates the contraction of the abdominal belt. Indeed, the body being positioned horizontally, the gluteal globes are no longer contracted and the abdominal belt can thus work in the best possible conditions to help the work of expulsion.
La personne alitée peut également utiliser avec ses mains les moyens de préhension 130a, 130b pour s'aider en s'arc-boutant et ainsi beaucoup mieux expulser. Lorsque la personne s'est soulagée, le bassin médical 100 peut être dégagé de dessous elle, en saisissant celui-ci par des moyens de préhension 130a, 130b ou par des moyens d'accrochage et de préhension 1 10. La présence de moyens de préhension 130a et 130b de part et d'autre du bassin médical 100 permet sa manipulation du côté gauche comme du côté droit du lit de la personne.The bedridden person can also use the gripping means 130a, 130b with their hands to help themselves by bracing and thus much better expelling. When the person has relieved himself, the medical pelvis 100 can be released from beneath him, by grasping the latter by gripping means 130a, 130b or by hooking and gripping means 110. The presence of gripping means 130a and 130b on either side of the medical basin 100 allows its manipulation on the left side as on the right side of the person's bed.
Le bassin médical de l'invention procure un confort d'utilisation aux personnes contraintes de faire leurs besoins en position allongée, et en particulier aux personnes souffrant d'escarres au niveau du sacrum.The medical basin of the invention provides comfort of use for people forced to do their needs in the lying position, and in particular for people suffering from pressure sores at the sacrum.
La finesse de la face d'appui au niveau de son extrémité libre facilite l'installation et le retrait du bassin médical.The thinness of the support face at its free end facilitates the installation and removal of the medical basin.
Le bassin médical assure une position idéale à une personne alitée devant faire ses besoins.The medical basin ensures an ideal position for a bedridden person having to do his needs.
La largeur suffisamment grande de la face d'appui du bassin médical lui procure une bonne stabilité dans le lit, ce qui réduit les risques de son renversement accidentel dans le lit de la personne.The sufficiently large width of the bearing surface of the medical basin gives it good stability in the bed, which reduces the risk of it accidentally overturning in the person's bed.
Il peut être facilement nettoyé. Son utilisation conjointe avec des poches amovibles de type jetable participe à réduire les risques de contamination dans les lieus à forte densité de population.It can be easily cleaned. Its joint use with removable disposable type bags helps reduce the risk of contamination in places with high population density.
Le bassin médical peut également être proposé en différentes tailles, et est empilable.The medical basin can also be offered in different sizes, and is stackable.
Dans une variante de réalisation représentée aux Figs. 4 et 5, les bords frontal et dorsal du bassin médical 100 sont prolongés respectivement par des retours 120c et 120d. L'ensemble des retours 120a, 120b et 120c, 120d forme ainsi une jupe destinée à rigidifier la structure du bassin médical 100 et à éviter le pincement de l'utilisateur.In an alternative embodiment shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the front and dorsal edges of the medical basin 100 are extended respectively by returns 120c and 120d. The set of returns 120a, 120b and 120c, 120d thus forms a skirt intended to stiffen the structure of the medical basin 100 and to avoid pinching the user.
On remarquera également à la Fig. 4, la présence d'échancrures 124a, 124b réalisées respectivement dans les retours 120a et 120b prolongeant les bords latéraux du bassin médical 100 et biseautées à leurs extrémités pour d'une part, former des moyens de préhension pour l'utilisateur et, d'autre part, pour abaisser la hauteur latérale d'un côté du basin médical lorsqu'il est incliné latéralement afin que l'utilisateur qu'il convient de manipuler d'une position de décubitus latéral vers une position de décubitus dorsal puisse être installé facilement sur ledit bassin.It will also be noted in FIG. 4, the presence of notches 124a, 124b produced respectively in the returns 120a and 120b extending the lateral edges of the medical basin 100 and bevelled at their ends, on the one hand, to form gripping means for the user and, on the other hand, to lower the lateral height on one side of the medical basin when it is tilted laterally so that the user who should be manipulated from a lateral position to a back position can be easily installed on said basin.
Un jonc 122 de section ronde borde la périphérie de cette jupe pour éviter que les bords libres du bassin médical 100 ne puissent constituer des parties agressives vis-à-vis de la peau de l'utilisateur. Un renfoncement 230 formant verseur est formé dans la paroi interne du réservoir 200 et dans sa partie non-bordée pour faciliter la vidange du bassin médical 100.A rod 122 of round section borders the periphery of this skirt to prevent the free edges of the medical basin 100 from constituting aggressive parts with respect to the skin of the user. A recess 230 forming a pourer is formed in the internal wall of the reservoir 200 and in its non-bordered part to facilitate the emptying of the medical basin 100.
A la Fig. 5 et dans le même but la partie médiane du retour 120d bordant le bord dorsal du bassin médical 100 présente une géométrie concave.In Fig. 5 and for the same purpose the middle part of the return 120d bordering the dorsal edge of the medical basin 100 has a concave geometry.
Des ouvertures 130c et 130d formant des moyens de préhension peuvent être réalisées dans le retour 120d. Openings 130c and 130d forming gripping means can be made in the return 120d.
