Description

Body holder and method of using the same

The present invention relates to a sheet-shaped body holder and a method of using the same.

According to the Statistics Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the estimated population of elderly people aged 65 and over in 2013 was 25%, and both the total population and proportion of elderly people are still increasing. It is well known that with the increase in the elderly, the number of care recipients and bedridden people is also increasing. For healthy individuals, for example, there are people who need care or bedridden when turning over at bedtime, etc., and there are obstacles, such as posture change, and stress concentration on specific parts of the body An increasing number of people have developed pressure ulcers, have impaired hemodynamics and internal fluid distribution, have discomfort and fatigue, and have difficulty moving to the toilet themselves. In order to improve the quality of life (QOL) of these elderly people, care recipients, bedriddens, etc., and to facilitate the care-giving operation of caregivers and nurses, body support and fixation, grasping and covering, Nursing and nursing equipment used for procedures such as movement and nursing and nursing care have also been developed.

Various proposals have also been made for devices and methods for grasping a bedridden person and assisting the movement for a bedbed bedbed person or the like who cannot easily change his / her position and move. For example, Patent Document 1 has a description of an improved product of a sling sheet used for assisting transfer of a cared person, but a material / material made of cloth is described, and has means for suppressing depression of the buttocks. It is said that the compression and tightening of the buttocks and hip joints can be suppressed, and the comfort of the care recipient can be improved.

Further, in Patent Document 2, the cared person is held by a cloth sheet, and the problem to be solved by the invention is that the stomach of the cared person is pressed and the cramped posture is reduced. There is a lifting sheet for wrapping the patient, there is also a figure, there is no description of the material, but there is a description of a lifting sheet that wraps around the patient's body, and the figure also recognizes it as a soft material It is done.

Patent Document 4 describes a packaging unit that uses a bag and beads placed in the bag, and after packaging the object, degass the inside of the bag to bring the packaged material and the packaging material into close contact with each other to protect transportation. In Patent Document 5, a suction-type fixing bag using bags, beads, and suction is laid under the patient in the same manner as in Patent Document 4, and used as a lower fixture. Is a fixed shell (trade name, manufactured by Engineering System Co., Ltd.) made of a thermoplastic resin film, heated in a flexible state and tightened. In this state, both ends of the fixed shell are fixed to the left and right side plates and fixed. A body part fixing device is described in which the shell is solidified in a state in which the shell is shaped in accordance with the patient's body shape.

Patent Document 6 also has a description of a fiber reinforced plastic material made of a carbon fiber-supporting base material and a polymer resin, and a cast material using the same, and a cast material containing a molten resin is applied to the affected area. If used, polycaprolactone is described as a polymer resin. Polycaprolactone can be molded if it has a temperature of about 60 ° C., and fixing can be completed if it is cooled and solidified.

Patent Document 7 also describes a method of using a bandage, mesh, film, tape, and sheet using a thermoplastic resin for the treatment of humans and animals. This Patent Document 7 is also a cyclic ester polymer. It is described that polylactone or the like is used after being heated to about 60 ° C.

JP-A-2015-202121 JP 2010-11892 A Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-41054 JP 2011-79537 A JP 2011-115419 A JP 2001-269366 A British Patent Application No. 136691 JP-A-10-139868

When performing operations including medical care, nursing, or nursing care involving support, fixation, grasping, covering, or moving a person, animal, or part of a human body such as a person or animal, for example, a bedridden person It is necessary to carry out while avoiding pain and invasiveness to the operation target such as temporary support of posture and body posture and conversion of body posture. However, if a soft cloth or a sling sheet made of a soft material is used as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, shape followability to the operation target is easily developed at the time of grasping or covering, but after that, for movement, etc. from the outside When force is applied, these cloth sheets are soft, so the force such as compression, pulling, twisting, etc. is transmitted to the operation object more or less through the cloth or sling sheet, causing problems such as pain and invasion was there.

In order to avoid the force applied from the outside being transmitted to the operation target and the floating of the fixation, in

Patent Documents

4 and 5, when grasping or covering a person or an animal, a bag and a bead are used. A method is proposed in which the bag is hardened in accordance with the patient's body shape and the patient's body part is fixed by softly fitting to the body shape and then suctioning and deaeration. However, a device such as a suction port or a suction pump for venting air is required, and even when used at home, a suction pump must be installed and daily maintenance of these devices is required. There are some non-specialty caregivers, such as at-home caregivers, who are elderly caregivers, such as the need to re-inject the sucked air into the bag for reuse of beads and beads. In view of this, it has been desired to develop instruments and auxiliary tools that are not suitable for operations that are repeated every day, and that can be easily and repeatedly used every day.

In Patent Documents 6 and 7, a fixing shell (trade name, manufactured by Engineering System Co., Ltd.) made of a polycaprolactone film is softened by heating to fix the patient's upper part. Cooled and used. On the other hand, polycaprolactone requires heating at about 60 ° C. as described in Patent Document 6, and Patent Document 7 describes application to bandages, meshes, films, tapes, sheets, and the like. Patent Document 7 also describes that the temperature at the time of shaping is 60 ° C. or 80 ° C. These methods grasp the material in a soft state by heating, coat it, shape it according to the body shape, have the hardness to suppress the movement of the body part, and can be reused, such as soft sling sheet and The bag, the bead and the suction pump system are devised from a different viewpoint.
Further, as described in page 2 of Patent Document 8, polylactone resin is a problem common to linear polyesters, and is poor in hydrolyzability and causes a decrease in the degree of polymerization over time. In applications such as sprint materials and mold materials, there is a case in which the degree of polymerization is lowered during storage in the state of a plate or rod-like material and deteriorates so as to be difficult to withstand use. Although shown, the reduction of the number average molecular weight (Mn) is also evident in the examples.

On the other hand, in the case of folding used for medical treatment or treatment including nursing or nursing care for a person or animal or a part of a body such as a person or animal, the heating operation needs to avoid the risk of burns. Patent Document 6 also describes that a low-melting point thermoplastic resin has a low risk of burns when a cast material containing a molten resin is applied to the affected area, and is not considered. Yes. However, it is stated that it can be molded if there is a melting point of 60 ° C to 130 ° C or a temperature of about 60 ° C, and it is not enough to deal with low-temperature burns that have been cautioned by the Product Safety Association of Japan. is there.

Regarding low-temperature burns, the above-mentioned Japan Foundation for Product Safety reports that a low-temperature burn occurs in about 2 to 3 minutes when the human skin temperature reaches 50 ° C, about 30 minutes to 1 hour at 46 ° C, and about 44 ° C. When it occurs in 3 to 4 hours, it is calling attention.

When using equipment or instruments for treatment including medical care, nursing or nursing care at home, caregivers who are not specialists compared to the care provided by specialists at medical institutions, some of whom are elderly caregivers It is also necessary to consider the existence, and materials, heating, and cooling systems that take into consideration burns and other safety factors, as well as foolproof and failsafe responses, are preferred. In the case of targeting humans and animals, it is important from the viewpoint of avoiding low-temperature burns to achieve the desired operation by suppressing the heating of the materials constituting the devices and instruments that come into contact with the humans and animals as much as possible. In particular, in the heating system related to the whole body, such as support of the bedridden person, posture support and change of posture, the amount of heat of heating and cooling increases in proportion to the size of the object, so avoiding low temperature burns, etc. From the viewpoint of safety, the appearance of equipment and instruments that can be deformed and fixed at temperatures as close to room temperature as possible has been desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has three purposes. In the case of using the body holder described so far, one is treatment including medical treatment or nursing or care of an operation target. When grasping or covering the operation object in the operation of this, or when performing shaping according to the body shape as necessary, a body holder having a softness that expresses the shape following property is provided. Provide a body holder with a hardness that can block and reduce the transmission of external force to the inside when supporting, fixing, moving, etc. Third, heating necessary for hardness change The object of the present invention is to provide a body holder that can be carried out in a temperature range in which low-temperature burns can be avoided while performing minimal heating without performing extra heating, and a method for using the same.

The body holder to achieve the above purpose is
It is a seat-shaped body holder, and its characteristic configuration is
In the vicinity of the body temperature of the human and the animal as the operation target, in the range of 5 ° C. to 48 ° C. for humans, and in the range of 5 ° C. or higher (animal body temperature + 10 ° C.) for animals, the softening change threshold temperature The object to be manipulated is the whole or part of the person or the animal having a softening temperature or melting point, or a main material having a glass transition temperature in the case of a hardly crystalline polymer material, and a hardness changing. It can be used when performing treatment including support, fixation, gripping, covering, or movement involving medical treatment or nursing or nursing care for a part,
In the case of targeting the person when the main material is heated at a low temperature when the operation target part is grasped or covered and shaped according to the shape of the operation target part and the main material is heated and softened. Is 46 ° C. or lower as the temperature of the portion in contact with the operation target site, and when the animal is the target (animal body temperature + 10 ° C.), the temperature of the portion in contact with the operation target site is set as the temperature. The temperature of the main material is a temperature equal to or higher than the softening change threshold temperature,
When cooling or hardening the main material when blocking or reducing the stress to the operation target site from the outside, the cooling temperature is a temperature lower than the hard softening change threshold temperature,
The softening by the low temperature heating and the hardening by the cooling can be repeatedly executed.

In the present specification, an animal refers to an animal other than a human.
In addition, pigs and sheep as animals have a body temperature that is several degrees higher than that of humans, and when animals are heated at low temperatures, the upper limit temperature of the surface in contact with the operation target of the body holder may be high.

In the body holder having the above-described characteristic configuration, the body holder has a soft and shape-following property under the environmental temperature for grasping or covering the operation target due to the characteristics of the material forming the body holder, without heating, In order to avoid floating instability due to the positional relationship between the operation target and the body holder generated by grasping and covering after grasping and covering, while reducing pain and invasion during grasping and covering, Further, in subsequent operations, in order to avoid and reduce pain and invasion caused by floating instability and the like, if necessary, the body is shaped in a soft state according to individuality such as the body shape of the operation target.

In order to realize the above-mentioned change in hardness and softness, the main material that forms the body holder must be softened by heating, etc. under the environmental temperature at which it is operated, and must exhibit shape following characteristics. From the viewpoint, it is necessary to consider that there are people who are caring for elderly people, especially when considering heating at home, especially when using at home. In addition, from the viewpoint of safe use, it is preferable to consider measures for foolproof and failsafe, in order to prevent burns due to leakage of the hot main material due to unexpected overheating due to failure of the heating system. Therefore, as the main material used for the body holder, it is preferable to select and use a main material that does not require extra heating, that is, a main material that softens at a temperature near the body temperature of a human or animal. The softening temperature and melting point of the main material, or the glass transition temperature for hard-crystalline polymer materials, the upper limit is 48 ° C when the operation target is a human, and the operation target is an animal. The upper limit of (animal body temperature + 10 ° C.) is necessary from the viewpoint of avoiding and reducing low-temperature burns during medical or nursing or nursing care.
In the present specification, the hard softening change threshold temperature means a softening temperature, a melting point, or a glass transition temperature.

After grasping, covering, shaping, etc., when folding operations such as support, fixation, and movement, the weight of the operation target is supported, lifted, or externally applied depending on the contents of the treatment including medical treatment, nursing, or nursing care. However, until the body holder is soft, the weight of the operation object is applied to the body holder and the body holder is deformed, or external force is transmitted to the operation object. Due to pressure, tension, twisting, binding, or relative displacement of each part that occurs due to non-uniform force applied to each part, each part is subject to pain or invasiveness due to compression, tension, twisting, binding, etc. Will occur.
According to the above characteristic configuration, in order to avoid or reduce such pain and invasion, the operation target is gripped or covered and shaped according to the shape of the operation target, opposite to the side on which the operation target exists. By cooling the side with a known method, the material that forms the body holder is cured, the external stress is blocked and reduced with hardness, and the pain that occurs in the operation target when folding operations such as support, fixation, and movement And avoid and reduce invasion. In addition, by cooling after shaping before moving, unnecessary gaps due to the positional relationship between the operation target and the body holder are reduced, and mutual collisions such as slight collisions between the body holder and the operation target due to floating instability, fine hitting, etc. The effect can be avoided and reduced.

With regard to the environmental temperature at which treatment operations including support, fixation, grasping, covering, or movement involving medical treatment, nursing, or nursing care are performed on an operation target part that is the whole or a part of a person, an animal, etc. In general, these operations are often performed at room temperature, and are often performed at room temperature as defined in JISZ8703, that is, in the range of 5 to 35 ° C.

Regarding the cooling and solidification of the main material that forms the body holder, from the viewpoint of reducing invasion, those close to the body temperature of humans and animals to be operated are preferable, and at temperatures lower than the body temperature of humans and animals, burns, Although there is no risk of low-temperature burns, it is preferable to consider fool-proofing and fail-safe handling in order to avoid discomfort due to a cold feeling and particularly when considering use at home. Considering the possibility of direct contact between the operating object and the main material that forms the body holder in an unexpected manner, the softening temperature of the main material that forms the body holder is eliminated to eliminate the need for cooling beyond room temperature. In addition, the lower limit of the glass transition temperature is preferably in the range up to 5 ° C. which is the lower limit of the normal temperature range defined in JISZ8703. That is, the softening temperature and melting point of the main material forming the body holder, or the glass transition temperature when the main material is a hardly crystalline polymer material is 5 ° C. or higher and 48 ° C. when the operation target is a human. In the following, when the operation target is an animal, the temperature is 5 ° C. or higher (animal body temperature + 10 ° C.) or lower in order to reduce the invasion given to the operation target during the operation of the treatment including medical treatment or nursing or nursing care. is necessary.

Grasping or covering the whole or part of the person or animal that is the operation target, and avoiding invasion or floating instability to the operation target caused by the grasping or covering, etc., if necessary after the grasping or covering In order to reduce the body holder, when shaping the body holder into a shape suitable for the individuality of the operation target in a state that can be deformed and has shape followability according to individual characteristics such as the difference in the body shape of the operation target, The softer the is, the higher the shape followability to the whole or part of the person or animal that is the operation target, and the invasion or floating instability to the person or animal caused by grasping, covering, shaping, etc. It is easy to avoid and reduce. For example, the low melting point alloy U-alloy 16 having a melting point in the temperature range of 5 ° C. or higher and 48 ° C. or lower when the operation target is a human, and 5 ° C. or higher (animal body temperature + 10 ° C.) when the operation target is an animal. When using Osaka Asahi Metal Factory as the main material, the material is encapsulated in a soft, bag-like container that is small in thermal deformation at the ambient temperature. A body holder with good followability can be formed.

In addition, after the operation of the treatment including support or fixation, or medical or nursing or nursing care that involves movement, the temperature of the surface in contact with the operation target of the body holder that supports, fixes, grasps or covers the operation target is again If the target of operation is human, the upper limit is 46 ° C. In the case of animals, the upper limit is (animal body temperature + 10 ° C), and heating is performed by a known method, thereby avoiding and reducing the risk of low-temperature burns. Or by softening it by placing it at ambient temperature without heating depending on the characteristics of the material forming the body holder, and removing the body holder from the operation object such as a person or animal or a part of the body such as a person or animal. By removing and releasing, the operation target can be returned to the original state before the operation such as treatment, nursing, and care.

In addition, these body holders, which are used for operations including medical treatment or nursing care or nursing care for the operation target, removed and released after the operation, are changed to be soft and soft by heating and cooling according to known methods as necessary.

In either case, the resistance to deformation caused by supporting the operation target or applied from the outside due to movement or the like may be proportional to the modulus of elasticity x the cube of the thickness in the case of a sheet-like flat plate. Also in the case of a body holder, resistance to desired deformation can be realized by adjusting the elastic modulus and thickness of the main material.

The elastic modulus depends on the material properties and the environmental temperature at which treatment operations including medical care, nursing or nursing care are performed, but the thickness can be arbitrarily changed. As the thickness increases, the time required for heat conduction during heating and cooling increases and the material costs also increase.However, by selecting the material and thickness according to the weight of the operation target and the content of the treatment, medical or nursing care can be provided.
