Description

DESCRIÇÃO  DESCRIPTION
TOUCAS HOSPITALARES COM BOLSO Domínio técnico da invenção HOSPITAL TOUCHS WITH POCKET Technical domain of the invention
A presente invenção refere-se a um artigo têxtil criado para ser colocado na cabeça dos prestadores de cuidados de saúde. The present invention relates to a textile article designed to be placed on the heads of healthcare providers.
A touca hospitalar da presente invenção é fabricada em material têxtil convencional, mas com propriedades especificas para a função em causa, e compreende, pelo menos, um bolso permitindo, em simultâneo, que o prestador de cuidados de saúde armazene em segurança e mantenha consigo pequenos objetos pessoais, tais como anéis, relógio, etc., em ambientes de assepsia ou esterilização, que de outra forma têm de ser guardados em cacifos ou noutros locais e portanto, passíveis de serem perdidos com facilidade. The hospital cap of the present invention is fabricated from conventional textile material but having properties specific to the function in question and comprises at least one pocket allowing at the same time the health care provider to store securely and hold small personal objects such as rings, watches, etc., in an environment of asepsis or sterilization, which otherwise have to be stored in lockers or elsewhere and therefore easily lost.
Assim, a presente invenção insere-se na área do vestuário de proteção, para uso profissional, em particular para uso em ambiente hospitalar. Thus, the present invention is in the field of protective clothing, for professional use, in particular for use in a hospital environment.
Antecedentes da invenção Background of the invention
0 uso de toucas e de artigos similares como agentes de proteção em ambientes em que a higiene é um requisito crítico, como por exemplo em ambiente hospitalar e em particular nas salas de operações, é sobej amente conhecido . The use of caps and similar articles as protective agents in environments where hygiene is a critical requirement, for example in the hospital environment and in particular in the operating rooms, is well known.
Em resultado disto, o uso de objetos pessoais, tais como relógios, pulseiras, anéis, chaves, etc. encontra-se, regra geral, condicionado ou mesmo restrito neste tipo de ambientes onde a manutenção da assepsia e esterilidade são importantes . Para além disso, o uso deste tipo de material de proteção em ambientes aquecidos torna-se um problema pois também eles contribuem para aumentar a sensação de calor que o utilizador experimenta. As a result of this, the use of personal objects, such as watches, bracelets, rings, keys, etc. is usually conditioned or even restricted in this type of environment where the maintenance of asepsis and sterility are important. In addition, the use of this type of protective material in heated environments becomes a problem because they also contribute to increase the sensation of heat that the user experiences.
No caso específico do ambiente de um bloco operatório, torna-se absolutamente necessário não só evitar contaminações originadas pelos intervenientes, mas também conter o suor que possa eventualmente ser produzido pelos profissionais de saúde, pessoal médico, enfermagem e assistentes . In the specific case of an operating room environment, it is absolutely necessary not only to avoid contamination caused by the interveners, but also to contain the sweat that may be produced by health professionals, medical personnel, nursing and assistants.
Neste sentido, têm sido propostas várias soluções de conceção de toucas hospitalares, como por exemplo toucas com um elástico que aperta à volta da cabeça, contendo o cabelo e isolando o couro cabeludo do utilizador do meio ambiente, toucas que compreendem um material absorvente na parte da frente e do topo da cabeça, toucas fabricadas em material absorvente, toucas em material descartável, etc. In this regard, various solutions have been proposed for designing hospital caps, such as caps with an elastic that tightens around the head, containing the hair and isolating the wearer's scalp from the environment, caps comprising an absorbent material in the part front and top of head, caps made of absorbent material, caps made of disposable material, etc.
Exemplos de algumas destas soluções são as apresentadas nos documentos US5218723A e GB763721A. Ambos documentos divulgam toucas hospitalares, com função essencialmente higiénica, as quais também proporcionam um nível de conforto ao respetivo utilizador. Examples of some of these solutions are those disclosed in US5218723A and GB763721A. Both documents disclose hospital caps, with an essentially hygienic function, which also provide a level of comfort to the user.
Contudo, nenhum destes documentos refere uma função de armazenamento de pequenos objetos de uso pessoal. However, none of these documents refers to a storage function of small objects for personal use.
Chapéus e bonés com bolso são também conhecidos. São utilizados maioritariamente na área do desporto e lazer, como por exemplo os chapéus de pescador, de corredor, etc. São normalmente artigos fabricados em material têxtil resistente e por vezes também impermeável, que apresentam um ou mais bolsos na parte lateral do boné ou na base do chapéu que liga com a respetiva aba. Hats and caps with pocket are also known. They are mainly used in the area of sports and leisure, such as fisherman hats, runner hats, etc. They are usually articles made of resistant and sometimes also waterproof textile material, which present one or more pockets on the side of the cap or the base of the hat that connects with the respective flap.
No entanto, quer os materiais usados neste tipo de artigos, quer a aplicação deste tipo de bolso às toucas hospitalares, não é de todo adequada. However, either the materials used in this type of articles, or the application of this type of pocket to hospital caps, is not at all appropriate.
As técnicas cirúrgicas rotineiramente utilizadas na atualidade recorrem frequentemente ao uso de energia elétrica e à passagem de corrente elétrica no campo operatório . Surgical techniques routinely used today often rely on the use of electric power and the passage of electric current in the operative field.
Dessa forma, o utilizador fica impedido de usar os objetos pessoais na sua forma convencional, tendo de os deixar em local seguro fora da sala de intervenções ou coloca-los nos bolsos do seu próprio vestuário, tornando assim desejável o desenvolvimento de equipamento permitido neste tipo de ambiente e que permita o armazenamento de pequenos objetos metálicos de uso pessoal em local seguro e próximo do utilizador . In this way the user is prevented from using personal objects in their conventional form, having to leave them in a safe place outside the intervention room or place them in the pockets of their own clothing, thus making desirable the development of equipment permitted in this type storage of small metal objects for personal use in a safe place and close to the user.
Este problema é solucionado pela criação das toucas cirúrgicas da presente invenção, que compreendem, pelo menos, um pequeno bolso com material não condutor. This problem is solved by the creation of the surgical caps of the present invention, which comprise at least a small pocket with nonconductive material.
Para além disso, a touca da presente invenção prevê também a inclusão de um sistema de retenção de suor e um sistema de fixação, que compreende bandas elásticas, tornando o seu uso confortável, em ambientes quentes e mesmo após longos tempos de utilização. Descrição da invenção In addition, the cap of the present invention also provides for the inclusion of a sweat retention system and a fastening system, which comprises elastic bands, making its use comfortable, in hot environments and even after long periods of use. Description of the invention
A presente invenção refere-se a um artigo têxtil criado para ser colocado na cabeça dos prestadores de cuidados de saúde. The present invention relates to a textile article designed to be placed on the heads of healthcare providers.
Este artigo é fabricado em material têxtil convencional, preferencialmente revestido exteriormente por um material com função semipermeável , que tal como as demais toucas cirúrgicas, tem como principal função a criação de um sistema semipermeável, o qual mantém o ambiente do couro cabeludo estanque, evitando ainda que haja passagem de conteúdo deste meio para o ambiente em redor, nomeadamente cabelo, suor ou outras partículas biológicas mortas. Para além disso, a touca da presente invenção apresenta um sistema de armazenamento de pequenos objetos pessoais, ou seja, pelo menos, um pequeno bolso. This article is made of conventional textile material, preferably coated externally by a material with semipermeable function, which like the other surgical caps, has as main function the creation of a semipermeable system, which maintains the atmosphere of the scalp watertight, that there is passage of content from this medium to the surrounding environment, namely hair, sweat or other dead biological particles. In addition, the cap of the present invention features a storage system for small personal objects, i.e. at least a small pocket.
Este bolso é feito em material não condutor, tais como borracha, latex, neopreno, preferencialmente neopreno, uma vez que este material tem boas propriedades de isolamento da condução elétrica. This pocket is made of non-conductive material such as rubber, latex, neoprene, preferably neoprene, since this material has good electrical conduction insulation properties.
Quando presente, o sistema de contenção ou fecho do bolso, é um sistema de fecho activo, de pressão, como por exemplo, mola, zipper, velcro, o que torna difícil a sua aplicação a toucas descartáveis ou construídas com materiais pouco resistentes . When present, the pocket containment system is an active, pressure-closing system, such as a spring, zipper, velcro, which makes it difficult to apply to disposable caps or constructed of non-resistant materials.
Através das bandas elásticas que ajustam a touca firmemente à cabeça o bolso é mantido sob pressão fazendo com que exista resistência constante à sua abertura, de forma passiva. Esta segurança é reforçada pela maneira como o bolso é formado, e que resulta da aplicação de duas lapelas de material não condutor, uma superior e outra inferior, e em que a superior se sobrepõe sobre a inferior numa área comum. Recorrendo a este tipo de material, e com esta disposição, nao é necessário colocar qualquer mecanismo de fecho ativo, nomeadamente, mola, zipper, velcro, etc. Through the elastic bands that adjust the cap firmly to the head the pocket is kept under pressure causing that there is constant resistance to its opening, passively. This safety is reinforced by the way the pocket is formed, and which results from the application of two lapels of nonconductive material, one upper and one lower, and the upper one overlapping the lower one in a common area. Using the this type of material, and with this arrangement, it is not necessary to put any active closing mechanism, namely, spring, zipper, velcro, etc.
No âmbito da presente invenção, a expressão "banda elástica" tem o mesmo significado que "zona elástica". In the context of the present invention, the term "elastic band" has the same meaning as "elastic band".
Desenvolvido para ser utilizado como equipamento de proteção individual, preferencialmente em contexto da área da saúde, a touca é revestida no exterior por um material resistente à água e outros líquidos, inclusivamente os fluidos biológicos, mas como semipermeável é respirável e permite que haja a dissipação de calor com o meio em redor, evitando na mesma que haja queda de cabelo, suor ou outras partículas biológicas mortas para o ambiente envolvente ao utilizador. A mesma camada externa tem propriedades antimicrobianas que impedem a proliferação de microrganismos que se depositem nesta camada, após a utilização pelo profissional. Developed to be used as personal protective equipment, preferably in the health context, the cap is coated on the outside by a material resistant to water and other liquids, including biological fluids, but as semipermeable it is breathable and allows dissipation of heat with the environment around it, avoiding any loss of hair, sweat or other dead biological particles to the environment surrounding the user. The same outer layer has antimicrobial properties that prevent the proliferation of microorganisms that deposit in this layer, after the use by the professional.
Adicionalmente, é também necessário que a touca esteja ajustada à cabeça do utilizador, por exemplo através de uma banda elástica ou zona elástica ou ainda através da incorporação de um têxtil com propriedades elásticas numa das camadas da touca. In addition, it is also necessary for the cap to be fitted to the wearer's head, for example through an elastic band or elastic zone or further by incorporating a textile having elastic properties into one of the cap layers.
No entanto, uma vez que o utilizador irá colocar a touca e utilizá-la durante várias horas, a touca da presente invenção tem um sistema elástico colocado lateralmente, na forma de uma banda elástica, que aplica uma ligeira pressão dispersa na superfície da cabeça e que serve para ajustar ao formato da cabeça. 0 utilizador poderá ainda aplicar maior pressão recorrendo aos cordões localizados na região posterior da touca e que estão em continuidade com a referida banda elástica . Para além disso, a touca da presente invenção prevê também a inclusão de um sistema de retenção de suor, separado da pele do utilizador, para evitar aquecer a macerar a sua pele. Através de uma bolsa com micro perfurações, localizada na região frontal, uma película de material absorvente promove a função de absorver e remover o excesso de suor e, através do revestimento externo semipermeável , a touca evita que esse excesso possa repassar para o exterior e cair para, a área de trabalho, preferencialmente o campo operatório. É também neste material, da camada externa, que pode colocado o nome do utilizador, através de métodos de bordado ou outros adequados para o efeito. However, since the wearer will put on the cap and use it for several hours, the cap of the present invention has a laterally elastic system in the form of an elastic band which applies a slight dispersed pressure on the surface of the head and which serves to adjust to the shape of the head. The user may further apply pressure by using the cords located in the posterior region of the cap and which are in continuity with said elastic band. Furthermore, the cap of the present invention also provides for the inclusion of a sweat retention system, separate from the skin of the wearer, to avoid heating the maceration of his skin. Through a bag with micro perforations, located in the frontal region, a film of absorbent material promotes the function of absorbing and removing excess sweat and, through the semipermeable outer coating, the cap prevents that excess can pass outwards and fall to the work area, preferably the operative field. It is also in this material, from the outer layer, that the user's name can be placed by means of embroidery methods or other suitable ones for the purpose.
0 material que compõe este revestimento externo é elástico, e ajustável à cabeça do seu utilizador, mas através do seu mecanismo semipermeável permite a dissipação do calor. The material composing this outer coating is elastic, and adjustable to the user's head, but through its semipermeable mechanism allows heat dissipation.
É também neste revestimento que se encontra o bolso anteriormente referido, que permite a colocação de pequenos objetos pessoais e fica colocado preferencialmente na região lateral da cabeça. It is also in this liner that the aforementioned pocket is found which allows the placement of small personal objects and is preferably placed in the lateral region of the head.
0 seu acesso é fácil mas a sua abertura é possível apenas de forma ativa e intencional pelo utilizador, devido à existência de um mecanismo de contra-resistências que impedem a abertura acidental e queda do seu conteúdo. Its access is easy but its opening is possible only in an active and intentional way by the user, due to the existence of a mechanism of counter-resistances that prevent the accidental opening and fall of its contents.
A existência preferencial de uma camada intermédia de revestimento com material antimicrobiano tem a função de adicionar outra barreira na prevenção da proliferação de flora microbiana comensal ou nosocomial, promovendo desta forma um ambiente mais controlado e menos contaminado. Internamente um revestimento ventilável, mas que serve de primeira barreira à passagem de cabelo, suor ou outras partículas biológicas mortas. A mesma camada interna tem propriedades antimicrobianas , que impedem a proliferação de microrganismos que se depositem nesta camada, após a utilização pelo profissional. The preferential existence of an intermediate coating layer with antimicrobial material has the function of adding another barrier in preventing the proliferation of commensal or nosocomial microbial flora, thus promoting a more controlled and less contaminated environment. Internally a vented coating, but serves as the first barrier to the passage of hair, sweat or other dead biological particles. The same inner layer has antimicrobial properties, which prevent the proliferation of microorganisms that deposit in this layer, after the use by the professional.
Esta camada faz o revestimento da camada intermédia, quando esta se encontra presente, funcionando as duas em conjunto para garantir a eliminação a flora microbiana proliferante . This layer coating the intermediate layer, when it is present, both working together to ensure the elimination of the proliferating microbial flora.
