SISTEMA DE HIGIENE CORPORAL PARA PERSONAS ENCAMADAS  BODY HYGIENE SYSTEM FOR ENCAMADAS PERSONS
Descripción Objeto de la invención Description Object of the invention
El objeto de esta invención es un sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas que comprende unas prendas higiénicas que viste la persona vinculadas necesariamente a un carrito auxiliar, siendo el conjunto de ambos elementos, por su conformación, características y aplicaciones, una sustancial mejora de los artículos existentes en el mercado y todo aquello que forma parte del estado de la técnica correspondiente. The object of this invention is a body hygiene system for bedridden persons comprising hygienic garments that the person wears necessarily linked to an auxiliary cart, the set of both elements being, due to their conformation, characteristics and applications, a substantial improvement of the existing items on the market and everything that is part of the corresponding state of the art.
En concreto, las prendas higiénicas están especialmente concebidas y diseñadas para ajustarse a la anatomía de la zona de micción y defecación de hombres y mujeres con tales limitaciones de movilidad que les imposibilitan para acceder al baño y que generalmente dependen de la ayuda de cuidadores o personal sanitario para estos menesteres en centros sanitarios, hospitales, residencias de ancianos, geriátricos o incluso casas particulares. Las prendas consisten básicamente en bolsas de forma alargada colocadas estratégicamente para recoger aguas mayores y menores mediante unas aberturas igualmente situadas en zonas estratégicos a través de las cuales se introduce un tubo flexible de salida de agua y un cabezal de ducha con válvula de apertura/cierre que forma parte indisoluble del segundo elemento que comprende el sistema de higiene que se presenta, en concreto el carrito auxiliar que aglutina en un único soporte móvil los enseres y material necesario para la higiene personal de personas enfermas o incapacitadas. Todo el conjunto es apto para ser utilizado en casas particulares y especialmente en hospitales, residencias de ancianos, geriátricos y centros asistenciales. Sector de la técnica Specifically, hygienic garments are specially designed and designed to conform to the anatomy of the area of urination and defecation of men and women with such mobility limitations that prevent them from accessing the bathroom and that generally depend on the help of caregivers or staff health for these needs in health centers, hospitals, nursing homes, nursing homes or even private homes. The garments basically consist of elongated bags strategically placed to collect major and minor waters through openings also located in strategic areas through which a flexible water outlet tube and a shower head with opening / closing valve are introduced which is an indissoluble part of the second element that includes the hygiene system that is presented, specifically the auxiliary cart that brings together the necessary equipment and material for personal hygiene of sick or disabled people in a single mobile support. The whole set is suitable for use in private homes and especially in hospitals, nursing homes, nursing homes and health centers. Technical sector
La invención que se presenta afecta al Sector de Necesidades Corrientes de la Vida, en particular referencia al capítulo de Salud, Protección y Diversiones en lo referente a objetos de higiene y atención sanitaria, incidiendo directamente en la fabricación de complementos y accesorios para hospitales y centros públicos de salud. Estado de la técnica The invention presented affects the Current Needs of Life Sector, in particular reference to the chapter on Health, Protection and Entertainment in relation to hygiene and health care objects, directly affecting the manufacture of accessories and accessories for hospitals and centers Health audiences State of the art
Es indudable que uno de los sectores que cuenta con un mayor número de profesionales tanto en centros públicos como privados es el sanitario, con un amplio colectivo de enfermeros/as y auxiliares que asumen la asistencia directa del paciente en cuidados y curas médicas y en cuestiones relativas al cuidado personal, en particular la higiene íntima que resulta cuanto menos embarazosa tanto para el paciente como para el cuidador. Este último aspecto, el cuidado y la higiene íntima, se entiende como uno de los más complejos tanto para el profesional como para el paciente. El profesional se enfrenta a una tarea que se repite varías veces al día, en especial cuando el paciente se encuentra imposibilitado y carente de autonomía para levantarse de la cama, lo que implica que requiere de una atención y cuidados específicos para hacer sus necesidades en ese estado de postración. Y el paciente, ante esa situación de desamparo e incapacidad, ve comprometida su fuerza moral. Undoubtedly, one of the sectors that has a greater number of professionals in both public and private centers is the health sector, with a large group of nurses and assistants who assume the direct assistance of the patient in medical care and cures and in matters relating to personal care, in particular the intimate hygiene that is less embarrassing for both the patient and the caregiver. This last aspect, care and intimate hygiene, is understood as one of the most complex for both the professional and the patient. The professional faces a task that is repeated several times a day, especially when the patient is unable and lacking autonomy to get out of bed, which implies that he requires specific attention and care to make his needs in that prostration status And the patient, faced with this situation of helplessness and disability, is compromised his moral strength.
En esta situación, la higiene íntima del paciente, igualmente imposibilitado para utilizar una ducha o bañera de forma habitual, se realiza en la misma cama, usando unos medios en la actualidad muy limitados: pañales que deben cambiarse una y otra vez y que tienden a producir lesiones en la piel (irritaciones, úlceras) por un contacto continuado, empapadores de gran poder de absorción y el uso de cuñas y/o botellas que se colocan en el momento preciso generalmente a petición del paciente pero que resultan incómodas, en especial las cuñas, tanto para el paciente como para el sanitario o cuidador, esponjas jabonosas y toallitas de un solo uso, etc. en una operación que resulta incómoda tanto para el paciente como para el profesional sanitario, y también para otros pacientes que compartan la misma habitación y se encuentran en camas contiguas. La solución pasa por colocar biombos separadores que en absoluto evitan que olores desagradables ni protegen la intimidad de las personas como sería deseable. In this situation, the intimate hygiene of the patient, equally unable to use a shower or bathtub on a regular basis, is done in the same bed, using very limited means at present: diapers that must be changed over and over again and that tend to produce skin lesions (irritations, ulcers) due to continuous contact, soaps of great absorption power and the use of wedges and / or bottles that are placed at the precise moment generally at the request of the patient but that are uncomfortable, especially the wedges, both for the patient and for the health or caregiver, soapy sponges and single-use wipes, etc. in an operation that is uncomfortable for both the patient and the healthcare professional, and also for other patients who share the same room and are in adjacent beds. The solution is to place separating screens that absolutely do not prevent unpleasant odors or protect the privacy of people as would be desirable.
Por su parte, la solicitante no tiene conocimiento de que exista un sistema de higiene personal parta personas encamadas que comprenda medios retener las aguas mayores y menores en un recipiente que las contuviera aisladas, sin molestar al paciente, y que permitiera su evacuación de una forma rápida, sencilla en un carrito auxiliar especialmente concebido y diseñado para llevar, debidamente colocados, todos los elementos y materiales necesarios para atender a la higiene íntima de estos pacientes especiales. For its part, the applicant is not aware that there is a personal hygiene system for bedridden people who understand means to retain the major and minor waters in a container that contains them isolated, without disturbing the patient, and that allows their evacuation in a way Fast, simple in an auxiliary cart specially designed and designed to carry, properly placed, all the elements and materials necessary to attend to the intimate hygiene of these special patients
Descripción de la invención El objeto de esta invención es un sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas que comprende unas prendas higiénicas destinadas principalmente para ser utilizadas en centros hospitalarios o geriátricos donde existen pacientes que, por sus patologías o por edad, están faltos de movilidad y deben permanecer postrados en cama durante largos periodos y que están relacionadas, formando un equipo de uso asociado inequívocamente a un carrito auxiliar concebido para ser autosuficiente en las operaciones de aseo de enfermos o incapacitados a los que hay que atender en la cama por lo cual está dotado de todo aquello que es necesario para cumplir dicho fin, con las dimensiones y la movilidad adecuada para que pueda deslizarse por pasillos y corredores estrechos habituales entre las camas de los hospitales. Ambos elementos del sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas, y en particular las prendas, son aptos para un uso doméstico y particular. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of this invention is a body hygiene system for bedridden persons comprising hygienic garments intended primarily for use in hospital or geriatric centers where there are patients who, due to their pathologies or age, are lacking in mobility and they must remain bedridden for long periods and that are related, forming a use team unequivocally associated with an auxiliary cart designed to be self-sufficient in the operations of cleaning the sick or disabled who must be treated in bed for which it is equipped with everything that is necessary to fulfill this goal, with the appropriate dimensions and mobility so that it can slide down the usual narrow corridors and corridors between hospital beds. Both elements of the body hygiene system for bedridden people, and in particular garments, are suitable for domestic and private use.
Así pues, el primer elemento del sistema de higiene que se reivindica son unas prendas higiénicas que se concretan en bolsas a modo de recipiente de conformación alargada, flexibles, de lámina de plástico transparente, dimensionalmente proporcionadas para un uso femenino y masculino y para adaptarse a la anatomía de las personas que lo deben utilizar, con un anillo flexible en la embocadura de su parte superior, estando este anillo flexible impregnado de un material adhesivo inocuo para la piel humana que le proporciona la textura necesaria para adherirse a las zonas íntimas de la persona por las cuales se efectúa la defecación (esfínteres) y la micción (orificio urinario) y asegura un despegado indoloro tras el uso. Thus, the first element of the hygiene system that is claimed are hygienic garments that are specified in bags as an elongated, flexible container of transparent plastic foil, dimensionally provided for female and male use and to adapt to the anatomy of the people who should use it, with a flexible ring in the mouth of its upper part, this flexible ring being impregnated with an adhesive material harmless to human skin that provides the necessary texture to adhere to the intimate areas of the person for whom defecation (sphincters) and urination (urinary orifice) is performed and ensures a painless detachment after use.
Estas bolsas cuentan con al menos dos abrazaderas flexibles y ajustables que permiten compartimentar herméticamente la bolsa en secciones, aislando la parte que contiene la orina o la deposición y presentan, en un punto próximo a su parte superior, una abertura que se prolonga en una derivación, que cuenta igualmente con abrazaderas flexibles y ajustables, en forma de tubo con el extremo final abierto que resulta ser la zona en que se vincula y asocia de forma inequívoca el segundo elemento de dicho sistema, concretado en el carrito auxiliar, el cual comprende, entre otros, dos partes esenciales y necesarias para el correcto funcionamiento de este sistema de higiene, siendo uno de ellos un cabezal de ducha para una correcta higiene de la persona y siendo el segundo unos depósitos destinados a recibir las bolsas con los resto de defecaciones y micciones de la persona y el agua utilizada para el aseo y limpieza de la persona. These bags have at least two flexible and adjustable clamps that allow the bag to be hermetically divided into sections, isolating the part that contains the urine or the deposition and presents, at a point close to its upper part, an opening that extends into a shunt , which also has flexible and adjustable clamps, in the form of a tube with the open end which turns out to be the area in which the second element of said system is linked and unequivocally associated, specified in the auxiliary cart, which comprises, among others, two essential and necessary parts for the proper functioning of this hygiene system, one of them being a shower head for proper hygiene of the person and the second being deposits intended to receive the bags with the rest of defecations and urination of the person and the water used for cleaning and cleaning the person.
La bolsa de deposiciones está recubierta de una funda opaca deslizante, también de lámina de plástico que se desplaza para mostrar u ocultar el contenido de la bolsa y zona de pegado a voluntad del cuidador. The deposition bag is covered with an opaque sliding cover, also made of plastic foil that moves to show or hide the contents of the bag and glue zone at the caregiver's will.
Por su parte, el carrito auxiliar para higiene personal comprende un chasis preferentemente tubular de material ligero, dotada de ruedas delanteras y traseras de caucho y orientables para su fácil manejo y su estabilidad en todas las posibilidades de carga, con una estructura específicamente diseñada para soportar e incorporar distintos elementos necesarios para realizar el aseo de las personas, en particular un depósito de agua conectado a una ducha colgada de un brazo extensible y dos depósitos para admisión de aguas mayores y menores que pueden bascular fácilmente para vaciar su contenido en cualquier WC, que, como se ha mencionado quedan vinculados y asociados a las prendas descritas. For its part, the auxiliary trolley for personal hygiene comprises a preferably tubular chassis of lightweight material, equipped with rubber front and rear wheels and adjustable for easy handling and stability in all loading possibilities, with a structure specifically designed to support and incorporate different elements necessary to perform the cleaning of people, in particular a water tank connected to a shower hanging on an extendable arm and two tanks for admission of major and minor waters that can easily tilt to empty its contents in any WC, which, as mentioned, are linked and associated to the described garments.
El depósito de agua limpia destinada al aseo del paciente se instala en la zona superior del carrito para optimizar la salida del agua a través de un tubo flexible en cuyo extremo hay una alcachofa de ducha con llave de apertura/cierre. Está depósito es fácilmente descolgable para cambiar o rellenar el agua ya consumida. En cuanto a la ducha/alcachofa, la misma cuenta con un elemento auxiliar, concretado en un brazo extensible que permite que dicha alcachofa quede colgada del extremo del mismo, permitiendo aproximar la ducha al paciente en caso de problemas de espacio. The clean water tank for the patient's toilet is installed in the upper area of the cart to optimize the water flow through a flexible tube at the end of which is a shower head with opening / closing valve. This deposit is easily removable to change or refill the water already consumed. As for the shower / shower head, it has an auxiliary element, specified in an extendable arm that allows said shower head to hang on the end of the shower head, allowing the patient to approach the shower in case of space problems.
El carrito comprende asimismo un secador / aparato de aire caliente y/o frío sujeto de un punto de anclaje en el chasis. The trolley also includes a hot and / or cold air dryer / apparatus attached to an anchor point in the chassis.
Los depósitos de aguas mayores y menores se destinan a almacenar las micciones y deposiciones que el paciente ha realizado en las cuñas y/o botellas o en/o por otros medios, estando estos depósitos sujetos al carrito aproximadamente por su zona central en una barra de sección cuadrada, preferentemente, con capacidad de giro en sus extremos previa liberación del gatillo que los mantiene fijos en su posición normal, lo que permite vaciar su contenido en el WC. De igual modo, estos depósitos para micciones y deposiciones se pueden segregar del carrito para colocarlos en el suelo sobre sus patas o para colgarlos de los largueros de la cama aprovechando los mismos ganchos de suspensión en el carrito. El carrito incluye asimismo un pequeño compartimento destinado al acopio de prendas o bolsas higiénicas para el paciente, las cuales son del tipo de recipientes flexibles de lámina de plástico transparente debidamente conformados para adaptarse a la anatomía de las personas que lo deben utilizar, y bolsas o fundas recambiables para proteger los depósitos de aguas mayores y menores. The deposits of major and minor waters are destined to store the urination and depositions that the patient has made in the wedges and / or bottles or in / or by other means, these deposits being subject to the cart approximately by its central area in a bar of square section, preferably, with the ability to turn at its ends after releasing the trigger that keeps them fixed in their normal position, which allows their contents to be emptied in the WC. In the same way, these deposits for urination and depositions can be segregated from the cart to place them on the floor on their legs or to hang them from the bed stringers taking advantage of the same suspension hooks in the cart. The cart also includes a small compartment for the collection of garments or hygienic bags for the patient, which are of the type of flexible containers of transparent plastic sheet properly shaped to adapt to the anatomy of the people who should use it, and bags or replaceable covers to protect the deposits of major and minor waters.
La aplicación práctica de este sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas muy simple, facilitando la tarea del personal sanitario sin incomodar al paciente, el cual puede hacer sus necesidades en el momento preciso sin ayuda externa y sin manchar la ropa de cama, permitiendo una completa y correcta higiene. The practical application of this system of body hygiene for bedridden people very simple, facilitating the task of health personnel without bothering the patient, who can do their needs at the right time without external help and without staining the bedding, allowing a complete and proper hygiene.
El primer paso es colocar la prenda higiénica en el paciente, acoplándola en la zona correcta mediante el anillo adherente situado en la embocadura de la prenda. Lógicamente, este anillo está dimensionalmente preparado en función de si se trata de una micción (menor) o de una defecación (mayor). En el caso de la micción, también está dimensionalmente preparado en función del sexo del paciente (mayor en la mujer, menor en el hombre) de acuerdo con la morfología de la zona genital. The first step is to place the hygienic garment on the patient, coupling it in the correct area by means of the adherent ring located in the mouth of the garment. Logically, this ring is dimensionally prepared depending on whether it is a urination (minor) or a defecation (major). In the case of urination, it is also dimensionally prepared according to the sex of the patient (older in women, younger in men) according to the morphology of the genital area.
Una vez se ha usado la bolsa (una u otra o ambas), es preciso evacuar el contenido y proceder a la higiene del paciente, momento en el cual se activa el módulo del carrito auxiliar, cuyo uso es sencillo e intuitivo al estar los distintos elementos que integra perfectamente distribuidos y fácilmente localizables. Once the bag has been used (one or the other or both), it is necessary to evacuate the contents and proceed to the patient's hygiene, at which time the auxiliary cart module is activated, the use of which is simple and intuitive as the different elements that integrates perfectly distributed and easily located.
Llegado el momento del aseo, y previa inspección del personal sanitario para evaluar las necesidades limpieza del paciente, el primer paso es aproximar el carrito, descolgar el depósito de micciones o deposiciones en el suelo o bien colgado de una de las barras laterales de la cama. A continuación se procede al vertido de micciones o deposiciones en sus depósitos directamente desde la cuña o botella o, en su caso, si se han utilizado las prendas especiales de plástico adaptadas a la anotomía del paciente, abriendo los pasos de evacuación correspondientes, pasando a continuación al uso de la ducha para realizar las operaciones de higiene. At the time of cleaning, and after inspecting the health personnel to assess the cleaning needs of the patient, the first step is to approximate the cart, lift the urination deposit or depositions on the floor or hang on one of the side bars of the bed . Next, the urination or deposition is deposited in their deposits directly from the wedge or bottle or, where appropriate, if the special plastic garments adapted to the patient's anotomy have been used, opening the corresponding evacuation steps, passing to Then use the shower to perform hygiene operations.
Atendido así el paciente solo queda desplazar el carrito al WC de vaciado, proceder al vertido de micciones y deposiciones por simple volcado, cambiar las fundas de los depósitos y rellenar de agua el depósito correspondiente dejando carrito auxiliar para higiene personal dispuesto para atender a otro paciente. En el caso de micciones, basta con soltar o aflojar la abrazadera de la derivación de la prenda para verter la orina. En el caso de defecación, es preciso soltar o aflojar la abrazadera de la derivación superior de la bolsa introduciendo por la zona correspondiente el cabezal de ducha del carrito auxiliar para empujar la deposición con la fuerza del agua procedente de la ducha hacia el extremo inferior de la bolsa por donde se procede a su vertido en el depósito correspondiente después de soltar o aflojar la abrazadera de cierre inferior, ajusfando de nuevo esta abrazadera después de la evacuación de los restos. Attended in this way the patient only has to move the cart to the emptying WC, proceed to the discharge of urination and deposition by simple dump, change the covers of the tanks and fill the corresponding tank with water leaving auxiliary cart for personal hygiene ready to attend another patient. In the case of urination, simply release or loosen the clamp of the garment bypass to pour urine. In the case of defecation, it is necessary to release or loosen the clamp of the upper branch of the bag by introducing the shower head of the auxiliary trolley through the corresponding area to push the deposition with the force of the water coming from the shower towards the lower end of the the bag where it is poured into the corresponding tank after releasing or loosening the lower closure clamp, adjusting this clamp again after the evacuation of the remains.
Para efectuar la higiene del paciente se utiliza la derivación mediante el cabezal de ducha del carrito descrito o, en su caso, mediante una esponja o similar con una mano enguantada. En todo caso, el agua utilizada se vierte igualmente en el depósito del carrito auxiliar para su vertido en el WC. To perform the patient's hygiene, the shunt is used by means of the shower head of the cart described or, where appropriate, by means of a sponge or similar with a gloved hand. In any case, the water used is also poured into the auxiliary trolley tank for discharge into the WC.
Finalmente, solo queda cerrar el extremo de la bolsa ajusfando la abrazadera o, si así lo considera adecuado el personal sanitario, se procede al cambio de la prenda, sustituyendo la bolsa usada por otra nueva y limpia. Finally, it is only necessary to close the end of the bag by adjusting the clamp or, if it is considered appropriate by the health personnel, the garment is replaced, replacing the used bag with a new and clean one.
Obviamente, antes de ajustar la nueva bolsa es factible proceder a una limpieza manual más directa con el material adecuado (esponja, etc.) secando finalmente la zona con toallas o un secador de aire caliente. Obviously, before adjusting the new bag it is possible to proceed to a more direct manual cleaning with the appropriate material (sponge, etc.) finally drying the area with towels or a hot air dryer.

De acuerdo con estos dibujos, el objeto de esta invención es un sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas que comprende unas prendas higiénicas asociadas en su uso a un carrito auxiliar concebido para ser autosuficiente. According to these drawings, the object of this invention is a body hygiene system for bedridden persons comprising hygienic garments associated in their use with an auxiliary cart designed to be self-sufficient.
En las figuras 1 y 2 se muestran unas prendas higiénicas que se acoplan al cuerpo de personas que están obligadas a guardar cama por enfermedad o incapacidad con el objetivo de que puedan hacer libremente micciones y deposiciones. Según se trate de hombres o mujeres el diseño tiene ligeras diferencias, en particular a las dimensiones de la bolsa y muy especialmente del anillo adherente que permite su ajuste y acople en las zonas de micción y defecación, pero estas diferencias no son decisivas en cuanto al fundamento de la presente invención. En la Figura 1 se muestra la prenda higiénica destinada a contener orina, conformada como una bolsa para micciones (1) sensiblemente tubular y alargada, con ambos extremos abiertos, ajustándose en el extremo superior un anillo adhesivo (3) que se acopla a la zona urinaria del cuerpo, siendo tal anillo adhesivo (3), en su caso, de un diseño específico según se trate de hombres o mujeres. La bolsa para micciones (1) incorpora en al menos dos puntos de su longitud, suficientemente separados, unos medios de cierre graduables, concretados en sendas abrazaderas flexibles y ajustables, de tal forma que la primera abrazadera, superior, se sitúa en una zona intermedia, sensiblemente próxima a al anillo adhesivo (3) descrito y que se muestra en su posición aflojada/abierta (4.1), permitiendo el paso de la orina evacuada mientras que la segunda abrazadera, inferior, se sitúa en la zona opuesta de la bolsa para micciones (1), en un punto próximo al extremo, representada en su posición cerrada (4.2), es decir, impidiendo la salida de la orina (5) acumulada. Lógicamente, cuando la primera abrazadera pasa a una posición cerrada, actúa como una válvula anti retorno, impidiendo que la orina fluya de nuevo hacia el paciente, Por su parte, la segunda abrazadera, inferior, cuando se afloja, abre el canal de salida de la orina para su vertido en un depósito de recogida. En esta misma figura 1 se muestra la derivación (1.1) de la bolsa para micciones (1) en forma de tubo con el extremo final abierto que surge de una abertura situada en la zona proximal al anillo adhesivo (3) y que a su vez cuenta con al menos una abrazadera secundaria, flexible y ajustable que está normalmente en posición cerrada (4.2) para impedir escapes accidentales de orina, tal y como se muestra en esta figura 1 , pero que es susceptible de ser abierta y pasar a posición aflojada/abierta (4.1) puesto que esta derivación (1.1) se concibe como un medio de acceso para realizar una correcta higiene de la zona genital de la persona, con espacio suficiente para introducir un cabezal de ducha (6) dotado de una válvula de apertura/cierre (7) integrado en el carrito auxiliar (que es el segundo componente del sistema que se reivindica) y que regula el flujo del agua o, en su caso, de la mano enguantada del personal sanitario. Figures 1 and 2 show hygienic garments that are attached to the body of people who are obliged to keep bed due to illness or disability in order to freely make urination and bowel movements. Depending on whether they are men or women, the design has slight differences, in particular to the dimensions of the bag and especially the adherent ring that allows its adjustment and coupling in the areas of urination and defecation, but these differences are not decisive in terms of foundation of the present invention. Figure 1 shows the hygienic garment intended to contain urine, formed as a bag for urination (1) that is substantially tubular and elongated, with both ends open, with an adhesive ring (3) fitting at the upper end that fits into the area urinary of the body, being such an adhesive ring (3), where appropriate, of a specific design according to whether they are men or women. The urination bag (1) incorporates at least two points of its length, sufficiently separated, adjustable closure means, specified in flexible and adjustable clamp paths, such that the first upper clamp is located in an intermediate zone , substantially close to the adhesive ring (3) described and shown in its loose / open position (4.1), allowing the passage of evacuated urine while the second lower clamp is located in the opposite area of the bag for urination (1), at a point near the end, represented in its closed position (4.2), that is, preventing the accumulation of urine (5) accumulated. Logically, when the first clamp passes to a closed position, it acts as a non-return valve, preventing urine from flowing back to the patient. On the other hand, the second lower clamp, when loosened, opens the outlet channel of Urine for disposal in a collection tank. In this same figure 1 shows the shunt (1.1) of the urination bag (1) in the form of a tube with the open end that emerges from an opening located in the area proximal to the adhesive ring (3) and which in turn It has at least one secondary, flexible and adjustable clamp that is normally in a closed position (4.2) to prevent accidental leakage of urine, as shown in this figure 1, but which is likely to be open and move to a loose position. open (4.1) since this derivation (1.1) is conceived as a means of access to perform proper hygiene of the genital area of the person, with enough space to introduce a shower head (6) equipped with an opening / closing valve (7) integrated in the auxiliary trolley (which is the second component of the system that is claimed) and that regulates the flow of water or, where appropriate, from the gloved hand of health personnel.
En la Figura 2 se muestra la prenda higiénica destinada a contener deposiciones o materia fecal, conformada como una bolsa para defecaciones (2), con una conformación similar a la ya descrita, sensiblemente tubular y alargada y con ambos extremos abiertos, con un anillo adhesivo (3) en su embocadura superior destinado a acoplarse a la zona anal del cuerpo, con una parte principal destinada a la recepción de las deposiciones y que cuenta también con abrazaderas flexibles y ajustables que pasan de una posición abierta/aflojada (4.1) a una posición cerrada (4.2) según sea necesario, una primera abrazadera que permite el paso de las deposiciones en posición abierta y que actúa como válvula anti retorno al estar en posición cerrada y una segunda abrazadera que, en posición cerrada impide el paso de la deposición, quedando esta materia fecal confinada en el segmento de la bolsa para defecaciones (2) delimitado por las dos abrazaderas descritas, ambas en posición cerrada. Cuando esta segunda abrazadera pasa a posición abierta/aflojada (4.1), permite la evacuación de la deposición o materia fecal en el depósito correspondiente. Figure 2 shows the hygienic garment intended to contain stool or stool, shaped as a stool bag (2), with a conformation similar to that already described, substantially tubular and elongated and with both ends open, with an adhesive ring (3) in its upper mouth intended to engage the anal area of the body, with a main part intended for the reception of stools and also has flexible and adjustable clamps that pass from an open / loosened position (4.1) to a closed position (4.2) as necessary, a first clamp that allows the passage of the depositions in the open position and that acts as a non-return valve when being in the closed position and a second clamp that, in the closed position prevents the passage of the deposition, this fecal matter being confined in the segment of the stool bag (2) delimited by the two clamps described, both in closed position. When this second clamp goes into an open / loose position (4.1), it allows the evacuation of the stool or stool in the corresponding tank.
Lógicamente, la propia densidad de la materia fecal, a diferencia de la orina, puede impedir su evacuación por sí misma, por lo cual, al igual que en la bolsa para micciones (1) descrita, la bolsa para defecaciones (2) presenta una abertura próxima al anillo adhesivo (3) de la cual surge una derivación (2.1), también tubular y de material plástico y abierta por su extremo, la cual tiene la misma utilidad que la derivación (1.1) de la bolsa para micciones (1), permitiendo el acceso del cabezal de ducha (6) del carrito auxiliar que en este caso actúa para empujar la materia fecal o deposición con la fuerza del agua, limpiando asimismo la parte interior de la bolsa para defecaciones (2). Logically, the fecal matter density itself, unlike urine, can prevent its evacuation by itself, therefore, as in the urination bag (1) described, the stool bag (2) has a opening next to the adhesive ring (3) from which a branch (2.1), also tubular and of plastic material and open at its end, which has the same utility as the branch (1.1) of the bag for urination (1) , allowing access to the shower head (6) of the auxiliary trolley that in this case acts to push the stool or deposition with the force of the water, also cleaning the inside of the stool bag (2).
Por último, señalar que la bolsa para defecaciones (2) incorpora una funda opaca (8) deslizable a lo largo de la bolsa para defecaciones (2), lo que permite ocultar a voluntad determinadas zonas ocupadas con materia fecal o deposiciones, proporcionando una mayor discreción e intimidad al paciente y al personal sanitario que lo atiende. En las figuras 3, 4, 5, 6 y 7 se muestran distintas vistas del carrito auxiliar, el cual es el segundo módulo del sistema de higiene corporal para personas encamadas, formando un equipo de uso asociado inequívocamente a las prendas ya descritas y concebido para ser autosuficiente. Este carrito auxiliar consiste en un pequeño vehículo que se mueve empujado por el cuidador o enfermero y que está dotado de todo lo necesario para procurar la higiene personal de personas de movilidad reducida y postradas en la cama provisional o permanentemente. Finally, it should be noted that the stool bag (2) incorporates an opaque cover (8) that slides along the stool bag (2), which allows certain areas occupied with stool or stools to be hidden at will, providing greater discretion and intimacy to the patient and the healthcare staff who treat him. Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 show different views of the auxiliary trolley, which is the second module of the body hygiene system for bedridden people, forming an equipment of use unequivocally associated with the garments already described and designed to Be self-sufficient This auxiliary cart consists of a small vehicle that is driven by the caregiver or nurse and is equipped with everything necessary to ensure the personal hygiene of people with reduced mobility and bedridden provisionally or permanently.
En las figuras 3 y 4 se muestran sendas vistas posterior y lateral del carrito auxiliar, conformado por un chasis (9) de estructura tubular y material ligero, con ruedas de caucho delanteras (10) y traseras (1 1), siendo todas ellas orientables y giratorias para facilitar la movilidad, comprendiendo dicho chasis (9) un depósito de agua limpia (12), con su correspondiente tapón (19), situado en la parte más alta del chasis (9) con un tubo flexible (13) de salida de agua y un cabezal de ducha (6) con válvula de apertura/cierre (7), quedando colgada el cabezal de la ducha (6) en un brazo extensible (14) que permite actuar en un radio aproximado de 1 ,5 metros desde el carrito auxiliar, incluyendo igualmente un secador / aparato de aire caliente/frío (25) que permite secar de forma conveniente al paciente o bien utilizar aire frío de ser necesario, estando dicho secador / aparato de aire caliente/frío (25 ) debidamente sujeto en un punto de anclaje del chasis (9). Figures 3 and 4 show two rear and side views of the auxiliary cart, consisting of a chassis (9) of tubular structure and lightweight material, with front (10) and rear (1 1) rubber wheels, all of which are orientable and swivels to facilitate mobility, said chassis (9) comprising a clean water tank (12), with its corresponding cap (19), located in the highest part of the chassis (9) with a flexible outlet pipe (13) of water and a shower head (6) with an opening / closing valve (7), the shower head (6) being hung on an extendable arm (14) that allows operating within an approximate radius of 1.5 meters from the auxiliary trolley, also including a hot / cold air dryer / apparatus (25) which allows the patient to be conveniently dried or used cold air if necessary, said hot / cold air dryer / apparatus (25) being properly secured at a chassis anchor point (9).
El carrito auxiliar cuenta con suficiente espacio en su zona media/inferior para alojar un depósito para micciones (15) y un depósito para deposiciones (16) con sus correspondientes tapones (19). Estos depósitos de micciones (15) y deposiciones (16) están anclados con ganchos de suspensión (18) en una barra giratoria (17), de sección cuadrada, asegurados con medios de bloqueo que, una vez liberados, permiten el movimiento de giro de tales depósitos (15) y (16), un desplazamiento que los sitúa sobre la taza del WC (21) para el volcado de su contenido. Precisamente, al estar depósitos de micciones (15) y deposiciones (16) anclados con ganchos de suspensión (18), ambos pueden separarse del chasis (9) del carrito auxiliar colocándolos o bien colgados sobre los largueros de la cama o bien sobre el suelo apoyados sobre unas protuberancias a modo de patas (24) situadas en su parte inferior. En estas figuras 3 y 4 se muestra asimismo un compartimento de prendas (20) destinado a almacenar las prendas higiénicas que se deben aplicar a los pacientes, las bolsas protectoras (23) de los depósitos (15) y (16) y cualquier otro objeto que con la práctica diaria se considere necesario. The auxiliary cart has enough space in its middle / lower area to accommodate a tank for urination (15) and a tank for bowel movements (16) with their corresponding caps (19). These urination tanks (15) and stools (16) are anchored with suspension hooks (18) on a rotating bar (17), of square section, secured with locking means that, once released, allow the rotational movement of such deposits (15) and (16), a displacement that places them on the WC cup (21) to dump their contents. Precisely, being urination tanks (15) and stool (16) anchored with suspension hooks (18), both can be separated from the chassis (9) of the auxiliary cart by placing them or hanging on the bed stringers or on the floor supported on protuberances as legs (24) located in its lower part. These figures 3 and 4 also show a garment compartment (20) intended to store the hygienic garments that should be applied to patients, the protective bags (23) of the tanks (15) and (16) and any other object that with the Daily practice is deemed necessary.
En la figura 5 se muestra el detalle del vaciado del contenido de los depósitos de micciones (15) y de deposiciones (16), los cuales, gracias al diseño del carrito auxiliar, son desplazables, con capacidad de giro y basculación para efectuar el volcado o descarga del contenido directamente en cualquier WC (21). Para ello es suficiente con liberar los medios de bloqueo mecánicos (cerrojo o similar), retirar los tapones (19) de las bocas de descarga y hacer girar el conjunto sobre la barra giratoria (17). En esta figura 5 se representa la posición normal de ambos depósitos (15) y (16), la posición con un giro de 90 grados y la posición con un giro de 180 grados, representadas estas dos últimas posiciones mediante punteado. Figure 5 shows the detail of the emptying of the contents of the urination tanks (15) and depositions (16), which, thanks to the design of the auxiliary cart, are movable, with the ability to turn and tilt to dump or download content directly to any WC (21). For this, it is sufficient to release the mechanical locking means (bolt or similar), remove the plugs (19) from the discharge nozzles and rotate the assembly on the rotating bar (17). This figure 5 represents the normal position of both tanks (15) and (16), the position with a 90 degree turn and the position with a 180 degree turn, these last two positions represented by dotting.
En las figuras 6 y 7 se muestran dos vistas de uno de los depósitos de micciones (15) o deposiciones (16), ambos con igual configuración, con en un corte transversal por su plano de simetría en la que se puede ver el depósito (15) (16) propiamente dicho, el tapón (19), la bolsa protectora (23) con su collarín roscado (22) que permite mantener siempre limpios los referidos depósitos y las patas (24) y una vista que representa el depósito completamente montado y cerrado. Especialmente en la figura 6 se muestra la existencia de la bolsa protectora (23) que tiene un collarín roscado (22) para su debido engarce con el depósito de deposiciones (16). Ello permite el vaciado de la bolsa protectora (23) e impide la caída de dicha bolsa (23) al WC (21). Cuando se ha vaciado y limpiado la bolsa protectora (23), se gira el depósito de deposiciones (16) a su posición normal y se coloca el tapón (19), que también tiene rosca, para la debida sujeción sobre el depósito de deposiciones (16). Figures 6 and 7 show two views of one of the urination deposits (15) or depositions (16), both with the same configuration, with a cross-section through its plane of symmetry in which the deposit can be seen ( 15) (16) proper, the cap (19), the protective bag (23) with its threaded collar (22) that allows keeping said tanks and legs (24) always clean and a view that represents the fully assembled tank and closed. Especially in figure 6 the existence of the protective bag (23) is shown, which has a threaded collar (22) for its proper crimping with the deposition tank (16). This allows emptying of the protective bag (23) and prevents said bag (23) from falling into the WC (21). When the protective bag (23) has been emptied and cleaned, the deposit tank (16) is turned to its normal position and the cap (19), which also has a thread, is placed for proper fastening on the deposition tank ( 16).
A la vista de lo descrito, la aplicación práctica del sistema de higiene corporal que se reivindica es sencilla. Respecto a las prendas, basta con acoplar mediante los respectivos anillos adhesivos (3) la bolsa de micciones (1) y/o la bolsa de defecciones (2) a las zonas adecuadas - urinaria y anal - del paciente o de la persona que lo requiere, asegurándose de que las abrazaderas inferiores están en posición cerrada (4.2), al igual que las abrazaderas secundarias de las derivaciones (1.1) y (2.1). En el momento en que se procede a la higiene de la persona, solo es preciso pasar la abrazadera superior a posición cerrada (4.2) para evitar el reflujo especialmente de la orina y abrir la abrazadera inferior para permitir su evacuación. El módulo que se dibuja como carrito auxiliar actúa de forma implícitamente necesaria para vaciar las prendas del contenido de orina y defecación a través de la acción del cabezal de la ducha (6) y la fuerza de arrastre del agua, para lo cual es preciso abrir la abrazadera secundaria de las respectivas derivaciones (1.1) y (2.1), quedando dicho contenido alojado en los respectivos depósitos (15) y (16) para su posterior vaciado en el WC (21) Respecto a la fabricación de las prendas higiénicas, se prevé realizar al menos tres tallas de las bolsas para micción y para defecación al objeto de conseguir la máxima adaptación al cuerpo de las personas, que se entiende de morfologías muy diversas. In view of what has been described, the practical application of the claimed body hygiene system is simple. Regarding the garments, it is enough to attach through the respective adhesive rings (3) the urination bag (1) and / or the bag of defections (2) to the appropriate areas - urinary and anal - of the patient or the person who requires, making sure that the lower clamps are in the closed position (4.2), as are the secondary clamps of the leads (1.1) and (2.1). At the time of the person's hygiene, it is only necessary to move the upper clamp to a closed position (4.2) to avoid the reflux especially of urine and open the lower clamp to allow its evacuation. The module that is drawn as an auxiliary cart acts implicitly necessary to empty the garments of the urine and defecation contents through the action of the shower head (6) and the drag force of the water, for which it is necessary to open the clamp secondary of the respective derivations (1.1) and (2.1), said content being housed in the respective tanks (15) and (16) for subsequent emptying in the WC (21) Regarding the manufacture of hygienic garments, it is planned to perform at least three sizes of the bags for urination and for defecation in order to achieve maximum adaptation to the body of people, which is understood as very different morphologies.
Los anillos adhesivos, por su parte y como se ha comentado, son susceptibles de tener algunas diferencias de diseño para adaptarse al cuerpo femenino y masculino. En cuanto al material adherente que impregna el anillo, dicho material tiene la fuerza adhesiva necesaria para mantenerse su lugar incluso con el movimiento de la persona y al mismo tiempo poder ser retirado sin dañar la piel sensible. Las prendas higiénicas descritas, es decir, las dos bolsas y la funda, son preferentemente tela de plástico flexible, transparente el de las bolsas y sus derivaciones y opaco el de la funda. Esta flexibilidad permite un fácil plegado de las bolsas, sin dañar su estructura ni causar grietas que puedan alterar su conformación o causar escapes, permitiendo al mismo tiempo almacenarlas con el mínimo abultamiento en un espacio reducido. Adhesive rings, meanwhile and as mentioned, are likely to have some design differences to fit the female and male body. As for the adherent material that permeates the ring, said material has the necessary adhesive force to hold its place even with the movement of the person and at the same time be able to be removed without damaging the sensitive skin. The hygienic garments described, that is, the two bags and the cover, are preferably flexible plastic fabric, transparent that of the bags and their derivations and opaque that of the cover. This flexibility allows easy folding of the bags, without damaging their structure or causing cracks that can alter their conformation or cause leaks, while allowing them to be stored with minimal bulge in a small space.
Por último señalar que a lo largo de esta memoria descriptiva se ha puesto de manifiesto de forma repetitiva que el uso preferente de estas prendas higiénicas se refiere a personas que están postradas en la cama, con escasa o nula movilidad e incapaces de acudir al baño para hacer sus necesidades. Ello no descarta, sin embargo, el uso de estas prendas higiénicas en personas que, aun teniendo movilidad o cierta movilidad, padecen de incontinencia fecal y/o urinaria. En este sentido resulta especialmente interesante el uso de las prendas higiénicas como sustitutos de pañales puesto que permiten, especialmente la bolsa para micción debidamente dimensionada, con la abrazadera superior abierta y posiblemente sin la derivación, que la persona lleve una vida normal, pudiendo el mismo, cuando sea necesario, aflojar la abrazadera inferior para liberar la carga de orina retenida. Finally, it should be noted that throughout this descriptive report it has been repeatedly shown that the preferred use of these hygienic garments refers to people who are bedridden, with little or no mobility and unable to go to the bathroom to Do your needs. This does not rule out, however, the use of these hygienic garments in people who, even having mobility or some mobility, suffer from fecal and / or urinary incontinence. In this sense, the use of hygienic garments as diaper substitutes is especially interesting since they allow, especially the properly sized urination bag, with the upper clamp open and possibly without the shunt, for the person to lead a normal life, being able to the same , when necessary, loosen the lower clamp to release the retained urine load.
