Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for protection against injury, particularly bone fracture and especially fracture of the upper part of the femur, said device comprising a pair of trousers and shell means with a connecting part connecting the shell means with the trousers in which the connecting part comprises fastening means connected to the shell means and a first coupling part for releasable connection to a second coupling part on the trousers.
  • An effective protection device therefore must act as a means to primarily distribute the energy from the upper part of the femur to the surrounding soft tissue but the protection device also should work as a device for absorbing the energy and provide an extension of the time before all energy from the impact is transmitted to the soft tissue.
  • US 5,157,789 discloses a hip protective hospital garment, adapted for use by individuals of all sizes, which includes a gown having a lower portion, a pair of upper chest flaps, and a pair of shoulder flaps, wherein the upper chest flaps are adjustably and criss-crossingly connected with the pair of shoulder flaps so as to provide a comfortable, quick, and non-restrictive fit on the individual user.
  • a large, sealable pocket disposed in substantially covering relation to the hips and upper thighs of the wearer, the pocket being structured to receive at least one lightweight, flexible, impact protective air bubble material liner therein so as to provide a protective area that will substantially absorb a force of impact to the hip area of the wearer, and thereby reduce the severity of injuries which may occur from accidental falls.
  • the protective air bubble liner is so situated as to serve the added purpose of reducing risk of stasis ulcers or bedsores.
  • US 4,737,994 discloses an undergarment to which is applied pocket- forming fabric comprising a pair of portions forming pockets positioned so as to overlie opposite hip regions of the wearer and a connecting portion extending along the waist line of the garment and forming a passage joining the two pockets.
  • An impervious inflatable bag inserted through the entrance into the pockets has an inflatable cushion-forming portion in each pocket and a connecting portion joining the cushion-forming portions. The bag is inserted in deflated condition and is then inflated to provide over each hip region of the wearer an air cushion for cushioning the impact in the event of a fall.
  • EP 83454 discloses a device to protect a body sensitive to impact or pressure, e.g. the backbone of a two-wheeled vehicle rider or of an athlete.
  • the device is an upholstery comprising several, at least partially uniform, essentially compression-resistant elements expediently in the form of blocks or loops arranged essentially directly adjoining one another and joined flexibly and with high tension strength to one another along their inner surfaces or edges facing the body.
  • DE 36 38 718 discloses a pair of trousers for medical purpose in which a part around the upper thigh is provided with a pocket in which a covering device with upholstery is placed for protecting against fracture of the upper part of the femur.
  • the hip-protecting device is in the form of a pair of trousers, and must be removed e. g. when bathing or going to the toilet. A lot of hip fractures, around 20%, comes from falling on the often slippery floors during bathing and going to the toilet.
  • US 4, 641 ,641 discloses a protective appliance for the hip joint area comprises an annular pad made of a relatively resilient material and carrying adhesive strips on one surface to secure the pad to the skin, and a relatively rigid dome-shaped shield carried in opposed pockets formed on the other, outer surface of the pad.
  • the shield fits somewhat loosely in the pad pockets to permit it to adjust to changes in body position, thus adding to the comfort of the appliance when it is worn.
  • the sides of the shield disposed between the pad pockets are contoured out of the plane of the pad to add further comfort particularly when the wearer reclines on the appliance.
  • a protective body appliance comprising a generally dome-shaped rigid shield secured to a flexible, compressible pad.
  • the pad has an inner section that is adhered to the wearer's body, and an outer section to which the rigid shield is attached.
  • the inner pad section has two lateral wings separated by a centre region all of which form an exposed surface, which is placed against the wearer's body.
  • the inner pad section is mated to the outer pad section along the centre region so that the wings are movable relative to the outer pad section.
  • the wings permit the shield and outer pad section to shift or rock relative to the inner pad section in response to body movements and external forces, thus increasing the appliance's ability to remain adhered to the wearer over time.
  • the protection device known from US 4,926,883 must be expected to be expensive in use, as the exchangeable parts comprise the complete pad and the complete adhesive part. These parts are furthermore very large as they must extend to and support the end parts and the periphery of the hard shell.
  • the protection device is claimed to allow movement of the hip, but the large pad and adhesive part will be hampering the movement of the skin under the large adhesive area. Furthermore the mounting is rendered difficult by the many different operations to be carried out.
  • EP 0 802 739 discloses a pair of trousers in which flexible hip protectors of an approximately domed shape are located and fixed in positions confronting the neck of either femur in so-called usual pants so as to cover corresponding portions of the necks of the femurs. Therefore, if a person wears the pants, the hip protectors are always located at exact positions so as to protect the necks of the femurs. Accordingly, the pants with the protectors are effective for wearing the protectors. In this device, the position of the protectors is fixed, even if one variant allows for taking out the protectors for washing the trousers, making it impossible to make adjustments of the position for taking into account the different building of the users or if they, due to incontinence, have to wear diapers.
  • EP 0 727 974 discloses a protective appliance to be worn by an individual for protecting a body part of the individual, which body part is covered by a piece of clothing, includes an inner shell part of a generally convex configuration to be arranged such that one side of the inner shell part is covered by the piece of clothing at the body part of the individual.
  • the inner shell part includes opposite flange members and a central curved member integrally connected to the flange members which have configurations allowing the flange members to be arranged in facial contact with respective body surface parts adjacent to the body part of the individual as the central curved member bridges the flange members so as to cover the body part of the individual without contacting the body part, and as the flange members are arranged in facial contact with the body surface parts.
  • the protective appliance further includes an outer shell part to be arranged opposite to the inner shell part relative to the piece of clothing so as to sandwich the piece of clothing between the inner shell part and the outer shell part, and a fixation part for fixating the inner shell part and the outer shell part relative to one another, sandwiching the piece of clothing therebetween.
  • the shell parts may be individually adjusted according to the user's needs, but the assembling method stresses and wears the clothing of the device, and elderly people with reduced dexterity may have difficulties in performing this demanding task.
  • the outer shell part is the one having the contact against the skin for distributing the force of a possible blow into the surrounding tissue.
  • the contact area is very narrow and provided with only a very thin soft rubber. This may result in high pressure in a small area resulting in many users experiencing discomfort or pain during use of this protector.
  • US 6,334,443 discloses a device for protecting a user against lesions, mainly bone lesions and especially fracture of the neck of the femur.
  • the device includes a shell, a fastening structure and an adhesive part.
  • the shell has a concave and a convex side.
  • the adhesive part includes a skin- friendly adhesive suitable for long-term contact with the skin.
  • the fastening structure is fixed near the peripheral zone of the shell on the concave side thereof, and is fixed on the adhesive part inside the peripheral zone of the shell.
  • the fastening of the adhesive part to the first coupling part of the fastening means is done by a non-permanent attachment
  • Some, especially elderly, users have a problem of locating the protruding part of the femur and thereby ensure a sufficiently accurate placing of the adhesive element for an optimal effect of the protector.
  • the protecting device must at the same time not take up too much room and must posses an adequate wearing comfort so that it can be worn or used for extended periods of time or preferably permanently, meaning both day and night.
  • the invention should also provide an opportunity to adapt to the individual body shape and allow for use of incontinence diapers without negatively influencing the protection effect of the device
  • the protection device must be simply designed and employ a simple fastening principle, so that elderly people can understand the handling of the device by themselves.
  • the adhesive part must be easy to place and replace accurately on the skin over the neck of the femur, and the area of the adhesive must be made as small as possible so that the overall flexibility of the skin area is as close to natural as possible.
  • the protection device should be cheap in use, and hence, each part of the device should be reusable with new parts.
  • people are very different in size it is necessary with several sizes of trousers, possibly four or five sizes, and as there is also a difference in the body shape of the male and the female it will be necessary to have both male and female models. In this way, many will be able to find a size of trousers fitting properly and they will, having the protection shells positioned properly, obtain an acceptable protection.
  • the invention relates to a device for protecting against lesions, mainly bone lesions and especially fracture of the neck of the femur comprising a pair of trousers and a pair of shell means readily and independently replaceable.
  • the trousers comprise on each side of the body aligned with the neck of the femur an outer horizontal protection band having a positioning hole.
  • the positioning hole is placed theoretically correct aligned with the neck of the femur.
  • the shell means are in the shape of an oval dome measuring app. 11 by
  • the shell means comprise a fastening means connecting the shell means releasably with the trousers, in which the fastening means comprises a connecting part and a first coupling part for detachably connecting the shell means with a second coupling part of the trousers.
  • the second coupling parts of the trousers are permanently secured to the trousers and covers an area aligned with the theoretical position of the neck of the femur.
  • the horizontal protection bands have lengths substantially greater than the horizontal with of the shell means and are permanently fixed at their horizontal ends to the trousers in separate fixation areas.
  • the height of the horizontal bands makes the bands cover at least a substantial part of the shell means but the bands may be made as high as the height of the trousers.
  • the trousers are in the version shown an elastic unit with a permanent tight fit around the hips.
  • the material may e.g. be cotton containing a proper amount of Lycra® in e.g. 5-10% or cotton with polyester and Elastane®: Many material combinations may be used. It is important that the trousers have a tight fit in order not to be inadvertently displaced during use. However, the fit must not be too tight, as this will make it difficult for a weaker elderly user to put the trousers on or take them off and to place them correctly.
  • the shell means When worn the shell means are totally or at least partly hidden by the horizontal protection band.
  • the height of the protection bands may be made so that they cover only part of the height of the shell means, they may cover the protection means entirely or they may even cover the entire height of the trousers.
  • the coupling part of the trousers is at least so large as to allow the shell means to be moved enough to account for as well the use of incontinence diapers as the difference in physiognomy of the users. If deemed appropriate for production purposes the size of the coupling part of the trousers may be extended to cover the entire area vertically between the waistline and the end of the trousers legs and horizontally between corresponding ends of the protection band.
  • a correct placing of the shell means over the coupling part is made easier by a centering hole in the protection band.
  • the shell means are placed so that the hole in the shell means is aligned with the hole in the protection band. This position will make the shell means be positioned over the neck of the femur on a person with a standard physiognomy.
  • Corresponding holes in the trousers and the fixed coupling part are aligned with the hole in the protection band. These corresponding holes are used when a placing of the shell means not covered by a standard placing is wanted.
  • the trousers are put on, preferably without the shell means and, when fitted properly, a mark is placed on the skin through the holes.
  • the trousers are taken off and, by detecting with the fingers while moving the leg the centre of the neck of the femur is determined.
  • the distance between this centre and the marking made through the trousers is the distance that the shell means should be offset. It is now possible to offset the shell means by this distance from the hole in the protection band, and the shell means will then be placed above the neck of the femur of this person.
  • the shell means must be movable up to about 35 mm horizontally and more vertically, if necessary even to a position where they will protrude beyond the lower edge of the trousers.
  • the invention is characterised in that the connecting part of the fastening means is permanently fixed to the shell means on the concave side hereof near a peripheral zone, that the first coupling part is fixedly connected to the connecting part and placed centrally with respect to the shell means, and that the first coupling part is connected to the connecting part by an area substantially smaller than the area of the first coupling part, and that the second coupling part has a substantially larger area than the first coupling part.
  • the shell means and the fastening means will act as an integrated and reusable unit providing the desired good shock- absorbing and impact-distributing function, at the same time being easy for the user to place and remove intently and furthermore being cheap in use, as it is reusable with a new pair of trousers, e.g. when the trousers are worn out.
  • the coupling part on the fastening means is provided with a relatively inelastic lug placed on the edge of the coupling part. The length of the lug is advantageously adjusted so that the outer end of the lug is hidden under the shell means during normal use. In a preferred embodiment the lug is oriented upwards in use.
  • This construction has the effect that, in the case of an unintended pull in the shell means, the forces must be very large to separate the coupling parts, whereas in case of an intended pull in the lug on the coupling part of the fixing means, only small forces are necessary to pull them apart.
  • the connecting part is elastic as the elasticity reduces the pull in the trousers when the trousers and the shell means move relative to one another.
  • the shell means may be provided with a larger centrally placed hole and the fastening means provided with an 8 to 10 mm hole in the fastening area of the corresponding coupling part for aiming purposes. This permits an easy and precise placing of the shell means aligned with the hole of the protection band. The pressure necessary for coupling is easily established, e. g. with a finger through the hole in the shell means, against the coupling parts, which are thereby connected.
  • the protection device in use during moving and normal shifting of posture always is placed opposite the point of the bone considered the most critical, and the shell means can, due to the precise placing, perfectly distribute the load through the foam edge into the surrounding soft tissue.
  • the fastening areas of the connecting part may be provided in two diametrically opposed areas of the shell means, preferably along the axis of the largest extension of the shell means.
  • the connecting part is permanently fixed to the shell means, e.g. with adhesive, rivets or by welding.
  • the trousers may comprise a coupling part, which coupling part may comprise a hook or loop layer, snap fasteners, adhesive or magnets so that a detachable attachment may be achieved between the fastening means and the trousers.
  • the shell means must be made from a relatively rigid material, e. g. acrylic, PMMA, having a tensile module around 3300N/mm 2 .
  • a suitable thickness would be about 3 mm.
  • Other plastic materials may be used, e. g. polycarbonate, PC, being a little less rigid but much more impact resistant the acrylic.
  • the peripheral zone of the shell means may be curved in such a manner that it forms a convex surface facing the user, which convex surface is sufficiently large to distribute the impact forces induced by a fall along the periphery of the shell means.
