- absorbent article for absorbing urine containing a solid component (hereinafter referred to as “absorbent article for absorbing urine containing a solid component”) of the present invention may be simply referred to as “absorbent article”. ) Will be described.
- An absorbent article according to an aspect of the present invention is an absorbent article for absorbing urine containing a solid component, and includes a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impervious sheet, A back sheet, and a top sheet and a liquid-absorbing absorbent body disposed between the back sheet, and having a length direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction orthogonal to each other, and the top sheet is convex Part of the nonwoven fabric having a skin-side surface, and the content ratio of the thickness direction oriented fibers in the convex portion of the nonwoven fabric is the content of the thickness direction oriented fibers in a portion other than the convex portion of the nonwoven fabric.
- the wet thickness of the non-woven fabric is 85% or more of the dry thickness of the non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric has the first fiber layer having the skin side surface and the absorption more than the first fiber layer.
- a second fiber layer located on the body side The absorbent article, wherein the first fiber layer is composed of fibers having durable hydrophilic properties, and the second fiber layer is composed of fibers having durable hydrophilic properties and fibers having non-durable hydrophilic properties. .
- the absorbent article according to aspect 1A can exhibit the following effects.
- the content of the orientated fibers in the thickness direction in the convex portion is larger than the content of the orientated fibers in the thickness direction in the other portions, and the nonwoven fabric has a wet thickness of 85% or more of the dry thickness of the nonwoven fabric.
- a nonwoven fabric has the 1st fiber layer which has a skin side surface, and the 2nd fiber layer located in the absorber side rather than a 1st fiber layer, and a 1st fiber layer is durable.
- the urine supplied to the absorbent article serves as a top sheet. Since it passes and moves to an absorber rapidly, urine supplied to an absorptive article cannot leak easily. In addition, since the solid component does not easily block the gap in the top sheet and the surface of the absorber during absorption of urine, urine supplied to the absorbent article is difficult to leak even if urine is repeatedly absorbed.
- the absorbent article according to aspect 1A is easy to maintain the bulk and voids of the convex portion, and therefore, an absorbent article for absorbing urine of an elderly person (especially a bedridden elderly person) (for example, a urine collecting pad). It is suitable as.
- An elderly person usually means a person 65 years or older.
- the absorbent article which concerns on aspect 1A is a urine containing a solid component, it will not be limited to elderly people, For example, it is excellent in the absorptivity of the whole urine containing a solid component by causes, such as a disease.
- kidney stones with increased crystal components examples include kidney stones with increased crystal components, gout, acute hepatitis, cystitis with increased epithelial cells, nephritis, pyelonephritis with increased columnar cells, diabetic nephropathy, and the like.
- the absorbent article according to aspect 1A can absorb urine, particularly urine containing a solid component, a plurality of times, preferably 3 times or more, more preferably 4 times or more, and still more preferably 5 times or more without leakage.
- the absorbent article according to aspect 1A can absorb urine, particularly urine containing a solid component, preferably 400 mL or more, more preferably 500 mL or more, and even more preferably 600 mL or more without leakage.
- the exchange of goods can be reduced, and the elderly person is less likely to be disturbed to sleep at night.
- the caregiver can omit the trouble of exchanging the absorbent article at night, and the burden of care, specifically, excretion care is reduced.
- the thickness of the nonwoven fabric when dried is 0.6 to 1.6 mm.
- the total amount of voids in the top sheet (nonwoven fabric) increases, and even when urine is absorbed a plurality of times, the top sheet is not easily clogged with solid components, and urine is less likely to leak from the absorbent article.
- the basis weight of the nonwoven fabric is 18 to 40 g / m 2 .
- the top sheet has a constant fiber density both during drying and when wet, and easily retains voids through which solid components pass.
- the nonwoven fabric forms a concavo-convex structure by injecting a gas onto a web containing thermoplastic resin fibers. Then, it is a nonwoven fabric manufactured by heat-processing and heat-bonding the intersection part of the thermoplastic resin fibers in the said web. Thereby, the top sheet (non-woven fabric) can easily maintain a gap through which the solid component passes not only when it is dry but also when it is wet.
- the absorbent body is a through-hole penetrating the absorbent body in the thickness direction or the top sheet side.
- the through-hole or the recess extending in the length direction through the center in the width direction of the absorber.
- the skin-side surface of the top sheet is convex toward the clothing side (back sheet side) with a portion other than the convex portion (for example, a concave portion) as a starting point by the force toward the inner side in the width direction applied when the absorbent article is worn.
- the absorbent body tends to be convexly deformed on the skin side (top sheet side).
- the top sheet tends to enter the through hole or the recess of the absorbent body. For this reason, even if a top sheet is pressed at the time of wear of an absorptive article, the portion which entered into the penetration hole or crevice of an absorber among top sheets is hard to be pressed, and the shape of the convex part in this portion is easy to be maintained. .
- the absorbent body is a pressing part that squeezes the absorbent body in the thickness direction, and is more than the through-hole or the concave portion. It has the said pressing part formed in the outer side of the said width direction. Due to the force toward the inner side in the width direction applied when the absorbent article is worn, the absorbent body tends to be convexly deformed to the skin side with the squeezed portion as the starting point. Therefore, when the absorbent article is worn, the top sheet tends to enter the through hole or the recess of the absorbent body. Moreover, since the shape of the through-hole or recessed part of an absorber is easy to be hold

Abstract
Description
本願発明者らが確認したところ、寝たきりの高齢者の尿には、一般成人の尿と比較して固形成分が多く含まれ、当該固形成分が、吸収性パッドのトップシートに詰まり、尿の吸収性を阻害していることを見出した。
また、本発明は、吸収性物品が装着される装着面を有する透液性のトップシートと、不透液性のバックシートとを備え、腹側部、股間部及び背側部を有する外装体と、前記装着面に脱着可能に装着された、本発明の吸収性物品とを備える、着用物品を提供する。
本発明の一態様(以下「態様1A」という)に係る吸収性物品は、固形成分を含む尿を吸収するための吸収性物品であって、透液性のトップシートと、不透液性のバックシートと、前記トップシート及び前記バックシートの間に配置された吸液性の吸収体とを備え、互いに直交する長さ方向、幅方向及び厚さ方向を有し、前記トップシートが、凸部が形成された肌側表面を有する不織布であり、前記不織布のうち前記凸部における厚さ方向配向繊維の含有率が、前記不織布のうち前記凸部以外の部分における厚さ方向配向繊維の含有率よりも大きく、前記不織布の湿潤時厚みが、前記不織布の乾燥時厚みの85%以上であり、前記不織布が、前記肌側表面を有する第1繊維層と、第1繊維層よりも前記吸収体側に位置する第2繊維層とを有し、第1繊維層が、耐久親水性を有する繊維で構成され、第2繊維層が、耐久親水性を有する繊維と、非耐久親水性を有する繊維とで構成されている、前記吸収性物品である。
なお、本願明細書では、尿に含まれる上記固形成分を、単に「固形成分」と称する場合がある。
態様1Aに係る吸収性物品では、不織布が、肌側表面を有する第1繊維層と、第1繊維層よりも吸収体側に位置する第2繊維層とを有し、第1繊維層が、耐久親水性を有する繊維で構成され、第2繊維層が、耐久親水性を有する繊維と、非耐久親水性を有する繊維とで構成されているので、吸収性物品に供給された尿がトップシートを通過して吸収体に迅速に移行するので、吸収性物品に供給された尿が漏れにくい。また、尿の吸収の際に、固形成分が、トップシートの空隙及び吸収体の表面を塞ぎにくいので、尿を繰り返し吸収しても、吸収性物品に供給された尿が漏れにくい。
なお、態様1Aに係る吸収性物品は、固形成分を含む尿であれば、高齢者に限定されず、例えば、疾患等の原因により、固形成分が含まれる尿全般の吸収性に優れる。
上記疾患としては、結晶成分が増加する腎結石、痛風、急性肝炎等、上皮細胞が増加する膀胱炎、腎炎等、円柱細胞の増加する腎盂腎炎、糖尿病性腎症等が挙げられる。
例えば、寝たきりの高齢者の多くは、一晩に約3回以上、計400mL以上の尿を排泄するが、少なくとも3回、あるいは400mLの尿を漏らさずに吸収することができれば、夜間の吸収性物品の交換を少なくすることができ、高齢者本人は、夜間、安眠を妨害されにくい。また、介護者は、夜間に、吸収性物品の交換をする手間が省略でき、介護、具体的には排泄ケアの負担が軽減される。
本発明の一態様(以下「態様1B」という)に係る着用物品は、吸収性物品が装着される装着面を有する透液性のトップシートと、不透液性のバックシートとを備え、腹側部と、股間部と、背側部とを有する外装体と、前記装着面に脱着可能に装着された、態様1A~態様8Aのいずれかに係る吸収性物品とを備える、着用物品である。
