DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The conventional diaper is
Since it is intended to be attached to an infant who is actively motivated, the emphasis is on the fit to the body. In addition to the idea that the excrement does not have to leak to the outside of the diaper, the waterproof film 108 is provided, and the base of the leg is fastened with the folding piece 111 to prevent the leakage to the outside. However, since such a paper diaper does not distinguish between stool and urine and is held by the water-supply layer 109 and the superabsorbent resin therein, urine and urine may mix in the diaper, which may cause a problem in treatment. Moreover, excreted feces, especially stool, come into contact with the body, causing discomfort to the patient and becoming unclean.

It is a technical object of the present invention to solve the problem of the conventional diaper for nursing care by converting such a conventional diaper for infants and to provide a diaper suitable for a patient who is bedridden on the back. Further, it is a technical object of the present invention to provide a diaper that can hold incontinence such as incontinence during walking or light exercise so that it does not come into contact with the body.

[0006]

The diaper of the present invention has a flexible waterproof film and a flexible water-absorbing layer laminated on the waterproof film, and is further placed between the body and the discharge position of feces. A shape maintaining member for forming a space is provided .

[0008]

Operation One of the stool or urine excreted by the patient is accommodated in the space formed by the shape maintaining member, and is held by the water absorbing layer and the waterproof film at that position. Therefore, the stored stool or urine is kept separated from the other stool. Unlike infants, bedridden patients usually lie on their back in a relatively quiet manner, and thus the feces thus accumulated do not move to other parts. Therefore, mixing of stool and urine is prevented.

Further, since the excreted feces are stored away from the body, there is little discomfort to the patient not only in the sleeping position but also during walking or light exercise, and the body is kept clean. The shape of the space formed by the shape maintaining member may be selected according to stool or urine, and for urination, it may be selected according to male or female. In the case of urine, it is preferable that the shape-maintaining member is formed in a bag shape and a highly water-absorbent resin is loaded therein so that the urine does not spread widely in the diaper. The shape-retaining member and an annular peripheral frame, since the arrangement of a plurality of wires or tapes having elasticity, such as a loop tensioned metal or synthetic resin on the inside, Moso to some extent elastically deformable
No more crushing. Therefore, it is relatively easy to fit on the body and a space is secured, so that the usability is improved.

In the defecation apparatus for nursing care of the present invention, since the diaper having the shape maintaining member for stool is used together with the bed provided with the recess or hole for accommodating the portion protruding to the outside of the shape maintaining member, There is no risk of the shape maintaining member being greatly deformed or crushed even when lying down.

But it may be provided on the network that these do not impair the correct flexible, optionally may be a film-like bottom portion.

The urine container 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used for a diaper for men, and is the same as that for stool except that it has the shape of a deep bag. However, water absorption layer 6 a
Powder or granules of superabsorbent polymer is being sprayed to particularly concentrate near the tip portion is carried by the water-absorbing layer 6 a in. As shown in FIG. 4, the shape-maintaining member 11 of this one is composed of a peripheral frame 21 and a loop-shaped tape 22 constituting the bottom portion as in the case of stool. The shape maintaining member 11 or the water layer 6 a inside it is preferably configured to be separated from the other parts. However, the peripheral frame 21 provided on the shape maintaining member 11 may be sandwiched between the waterproof film 5 and the inner layer 7 in the other part and fixed by heat fusion or the like.

FIG. 5 shows the shape maintaining member 23 used for the urine container of a female diaper. This one has a long oblong peripheral frame 24 in the front and rear and a bottom 16 composed of a large number of tapes 25, and has a cage shape as a whole. This is also used together with the water absorbing layer as the shape maintaining member 11 for urine in the diaper for men of FIG. 4, and carries the super absorbent resin in the water absorbing layer.

Next, a method of using the diaper A will be described with reference to FIG. 6, and an embodiment of the defecation device of the present invention will be described. The defecation device 30 of FIG. 6 includes the diaper A and the bed B of FIG. Diaper A is shown as worn by patient C. When the patient C wears the diaper A and sleeps on his / her back, the stool shape maintaining member 13 projects downward, so that the stool accommodation part is crushed in a normal bed, and the original action cannot be achieved. Therefore, in the defecation device 30, the hole 32 is provided in the base 31 of the bed B at a position corresponding to the shape maintaining member 13 for stool, and the mattress 33 is also provided with the hole 34 at the same position.

Bed B base 31 and mattress 3
By providing such holes 32 and 34 in 3, it is possible to sleep by dropping the shape maintaining member 13 for stool into the holes 32 and 34, and the space 35 between the body of the patient C and the inner surface of the diaper A. Can be maintained. Therefore excreted stool falls to the bottom of the space 35, does not adhere stool to the body of the patient C. Since the urine housing portion 10 there is an elongated space 3 6, urine receiving portion 10 of the body of the patient C
Even after the insertion, the space 37 remains to some extent on the tip side thereof. And the urine is the space 37 on the tip side of the urine container 10.
Since it is excreted intensively in the body, it is absorbed and retained by the superabsorbent resin at that site. Therefore, the body of the patient C is hardly wet by urine. Even in the urine container of the female diaper, as can be seen from the shape of the shape maintaining member 23 in FIG. 5, the inner surface thereof does not contact the body.

FIG. 7 shows a case of walking or light exercise with the diaper A of the present invention attached. When the user is standing, the urine storage unit 10 is also the stool storage unit 1.
2 also hangs somewhat downward so that if an incontinence flight falls, it will be accommodated in their accommodations 10, 12.
Further, since the shape maintaining members 11 and 13 are provided, the stool accommodation portion 12 is not particularly crushed. Therefore, the subsequent processing is simple.

The shape-maintaining member 13 is preferably flexible to some extent so that the stool container 12 is always directed downward depending on whether it is standing or sitting or when it is in a sleeping position. However, if it is completely crushed by the pressure of the body, the subsequent processing is troublesome. Therefore, in order to cope with various postures, it is preferable to freely deform within a range that does not collapse when pressure is applied from the outside and to return to the original shape when the pressure is released. 3 and 4 in this sense
And a shape maintaining member 13 in which the tapes of FIG. 5 are combined ,
11 and 2 3, until the tape gap is clogged is relatively easily deformed, preferred since hardly deformed after the tape come into contact with each other.

FIG. 8 shows a preferred example of using the diaper A of the present invention. In FIG. 8, the penis and the Howden are wrapped in a space 38 formed by the shape maintaining member 11 and wrapped by a cushioning band 38 so as to be inserted. In this way, by wrapping the band 38 from the back side of the Howden to the upper surface of the penis and inserting them into the shape maintaining member 11, the penis is prevented from jumping out from the space 36 of the shape maintaining member 11. Instead of the band 38, the band 38 may be wrapped with the separate urine-only water absorbing layer 6a.

Furthermore, since stool and urine are held at different positions in such a diaper, the diaper does not mix with each other and the caregiver can easily treat the excrement. Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments. For example, the bottom 16 of the shape-maintaining members 11, 13 , 23
In addition to the tape, the wire can be formed of wire. The waterproof film 5a and water absorption layer 6 a piss accommodating portion 10 and the feces receiving section 12 are, each integral with the respective layers of the front part 1 and rear part 2, may be continuous. Further, the holes 32 and 34 of the bed B shown in FIG. 6 may be simple recesses.

[0023]

In the diaper and defecation device of the present invention, the shape maintaining member forms a space at the defecation position.
Therefore, excreted feces do not adhere to the body, and stool and urine do not mix. Therefore, the discomfort of the patient is significantly reduced, and the caregiver's burden is also reduced.
