Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to nursing instruments, and more particularly to devices for receiving urine and feces.

<Background of the Invention and Prior Art> In the age of an aging society and advanced medical technology, a huge number of elderly and sick people are forced to stay in bed. The things that cause the most trouble to patients and their caregivers in their care are the disposal of excreta and the prevention of pressure ulcers. Being able to live a clean and undisturbed life while battling illness is a pressing issue for those unfortunate enough to suffer from illness, and it is a fervent desire to protect human dignity and dignity.

However, actual underwear and diapers do not make any contribution to this demand. However, the only products that have been put into practical use are those that only slightly meet the needs of caregivers.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Many disease fighters live in bed, not in special beds with excretory devices, but in regular beds or on futons in Japanese-style rooms. This is because special beds equipped with excretory devices are expensive and, moreover, are uneconomical as they become unnecessary once the patient has finished fighting the disease.

In addition, diapers are impregnated with excrement and spread, or compressed and spread, so they have the disadvantage of staining a wide area around the buttocks, and if left untreated, clothing and bedding can also be contaminated. Also,
Putting on and changing diapers requires a lot of effort for both the patient and the caregiver, and it also causes bad odor and
There is a problem in that the filth that is produced damages the self-esteem of those who are suffering from the disease.

The object of the present invention is that it can be immediately applied to a sick person who is lying on a regular bed or a futon for a Japanese-style room, and that the clothes and bedding of the sick person are completely isolated. does not spread,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a urine and fecal collection device that requires little effort from disease fighters and caregivers when installing or replacing it, and that can remove filth in a clean and odorless manner.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The urine collection/fecal collection device of the present invention has a contact portion that comes into close contact with the left and right kidneys and renal fissures of a supine human body, and a contact portion that is continuously located above the contact portion. However, it is characterized by having an opening at least in the part corresponding to the anal region, a collection port formed around the opening, and a bag-shaped storage section that is continuous with the collection port and stores excrement.

The invention is described in the embodiment section and can be practiced with various modifications as described in the following examples.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows a central vertical sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a front view.

The contact portion 1 has a substantially spherical curved surface 2 that is concave inward on the left and right sides so as to be in close contact with the left and right buttocks and intergluteal cleft of a supine human body.
A, 2B are formed, and the central ridge 3 forms a substantially arcuate curve with a low tip and a high rear. This abutting part 1 is integrally formed with an oval-shaped base plate 4, and a smooth inclined surface 5 is formed continuously at the rear of the abutting part 1 to guide excrement inside. There is.

A sampling port 6 is provided continuously upward from the highest position at the rear end of the contact portion 1 . This sampling port 6
In the case of a female product, an elongated oval-shaped edge is formed in the vertical direction so as to cover and fit around the anus and genital area, and the inside thereof is an opening 7.
The sampling port in this embodiment can also be used for both men and women. Furthermore, for men, it may be configured so that it contacts only around the anus, and urine collection is performed by another means. Note that this contact portion 1 is normally made elastic so that it can be deformed to some extent depending on the degree of obesity of the human body.

The storage part 8 is a bag-shaped part for storing excrement while separating it from the outside, and is connected to the periphery of the collection port 6 and placed on the substrate 4. The storage section 8 is made of transparent or opaque hard plastic, flexible soft plastic, rubber, waterproof paper, or the like. Further, the storage part 8 may be integrally molded with the collection port 6, or by providing an inverted U-shaped groove on the outer periphery of the collection port and connecting the storage part so as to fit into this groove, only the storage part can be attached and removed. It can also be configured freely. This storage section 8 is
Depending on the case, it can be made disposable together with the sampling port 6, and in that case, it is preferable to construct it from a combustible material. Furthermore, as a modification of the storage section 8, a urine coagulant or urine absorbent may be placed in advance at the bottom of the storage section 8, or paper impregnated with a urine coagulant or urine absorbent may be spread. In addition, in order to smoothly guide solid excrement to the storage part, a jelly-like material similar to human mucous membrane is applied to the inner surface of the part of the storage part 8 that continues rearward from the lower part of the contact part, that is, the part that corresponds to the inclined surface 5. It is also possible to pre-apply the substance.

When the collection port 6 and the storage portion 8 are integrally molded and made disposable, a sheet coated with adhesive on the inner surface is attached to the top of the collection port 6 so that the collection port 6 can be closed after use. can do. Alternatively, the left and right sides of the sampling port 6 may be formed to be slightly hard, and the upper and lower ends may be formed to be flexible, so that the upper and lower ends act like a hinge so that the sampling port 6 can be opened and closed.

A gutter can be provided approximately in the center of the collection port for women to guide urine inside. In this case, in order to accurately maintain the position where the gutter tip hits the human body, a contact element with a rounded tip is attached near the bottom of the gutter tip, and this abutment element is supported with an elastic wire, etc. However, this abutment element can be used by abutting against the vaginal opening.

Furthermore, wiping paper or absorbent cotton may be built into the upper part of the inside of the storage section 8, and an opening may be formed into which at least two fingers can be inserted to operate it. can.

As a means for holding the device of the present invention in close contact with the human body, in addition to holding the device by placing the buttocks on the contact portion, a stopper is used to lock it to accessories such as bedsore pants, girdles, etc. in order to hold it stably for a long time. , fixing means such as hook and loop fasteners may be provided at predetermined locations around the sampling port.

<Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, it can be applied to a patient who is lying on a regular bed or a futon for a Japanese-style room, and unlike conventional diapers, excrement does not spread and the patient's clothing and Because they are used and processed completely separate from bedding, they do not contaminate the living environment, and they are extremely easy to put on compared to conventional diapers.
It is not impossible for the patient to use it by himself/herself without bothering the caregiver, and since it is easy to put on and take out, it can be used even with a blanket, etc. It's less likely to hurt. moreover,
After use, it can be transported and disposed of separately from the outside world, and if it is made from flammable materials, it can be incinerated as is.
