JP5531181B2 - Auxiliary device for wearing body fluid absorbent articles - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention forms a wearing aid in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, so that a body fluid is adapted to correspond to the position of the genitals when a body fluid absorbent article such as a disposable diaper, a pants-type diaper, a urine absorption pad, or a sanitary napkin is worn. The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool that covers an absorbent article from the outside and presses the body fluid absorbent article at the end of the peripheral wall to prevent leakage of the body fluid.

  Body fluid-absorbing articles tend to cause side-leakage of bleeding and urine during menstruation, and wearers are always anxious. In particular, a large amount of leakage of urine is likely to occur when sleeping in the lateral position, especially in men, since the tip of the penis faces the ridge, so that urine flows along the ridge and the leg opening of the fluid-absorbing article. It often leaks from a slight lift in the part.

  In order to prevent such side leaks, inexperienced wearers tend to press more than necessary because they are worried about how hard they should press against their skin. For this reason, in the case of a woman, the labia are pressed and the urethral opening is covered and concealed to obstruct urination. Also, because men have penis and testicles, not only do they feel uncomfortable pressure, but they also cause unpleasant discomfort due to stuffiness, unconsciously removing diapers and diapers during sleep, causing urine leakage . Furthermore, the urinary tract of the penis is refracted and deformed by strong pressure, and urine does not flow smoothly. This phenomenon is common in older infants and adult men.

In view of this, a three-dimensional absorbent article has been proposed that makes strong contact with the ridge and provides space for the genital part.
For example, in Patent Document 1, an absorbent main body having rigidity is bent on a surface that contacts the skin so as to protrude along the ridge, and the main body is lifted from the genitals by this bending to form a free space. . However, because the rigidity of the bent portion is required, it is composed of a hard member, and since the mounting force applied to the exterior sheet such as a pad at the time of wearing is directly received by this bent portion, redness occurs in weak skin, When significant, water bubbles are generated.

  In Patent Document 2, a boat-shaped three-dimensional bulge is provided in the front part of the urine absorbing pad, but instead of the penis not being compressed, a stiff peripheral edge to prevent urine leakage bites into the skin, causing inconvenience. You will feel pleasant and put a burden on your skin such as redness.

  The present invention has been made in view of such points, and a space is obtained between the bodily fluid absorbent article and the genitals, there is no feeling of pressure, no burden is imposed on urination, and a comfortable wearing feeling is obtained. It is an object of the present invention to provide an auxiliary tool that is difficult to permeate liquid and that can prevent side leakage even when the article is in a lateral position, since the article does not float from the skin.

The present invention is an abbreviation that constitutes a space that accommodates the exterior side of a bodily fluid absorbent article in a hand-like manner from the opened lower surface of the auxiliary device for mounting a bodily fluid absorbent article. By providing a semi-cylindrical peripheral wall and forming the substantially semi-cylindrical peripheral wall with a material that exhibits elasticity , the body fluid absorbent article is accommodated in a groove shape in the space, and there is a space between the genitals The genitals can be urinated without a feeling of pressure, a comfortable wearing feeling is obtained, and it is difficult to permeate through compression deformation of the bodily fluid absorbent article due to the wearing force, and this article does not float from the skin. The present invention relates to an auxiliary device that is accommodated in a body fluid-absorbent article space and that can prevent side leakage even in a lateral position.

According to the present invention, the external mounting force received by the auxiliary tool acts on the skin through the soft body fluid absorbent article, so that the body fluid absorbent article compresses and deforms and comes into contact with the skin over a wide area. It does not bite into the skin, and a groove-like space is obtained between the bodily fluid absorbent article and the genitals, so that there is no feeling of pressure and no burden is imposed on urination. In addition, a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained without causing diaper removal or diaper tingling. To further body fluid absorbent article is compressed at mounting force, the liquid absorbing space (e.g. fiber density) is difficult to liquid permeation becomes dense absorber, and since this article nor raised from the skin, genital above space Can be prevented from side leakage even if it is housed in the lateral position.

Hereinafter, the case where it applies to a urine absorption pad as a bodily fluid absorbent article is demonstrated as an example.
1 is a urine absorption pad, 2 is a front part covering the genitals, 3 is a central part corresponding to the crotch, and 4 is a rear part covering the buttocks side. Reference numeral 6 denotes a synthetic resin auxiliary tool formed in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and the peripheral wall 7 includes a front end portion 8, a rear end portion 9, and an intermediate portion 10.
At the time of wearing, the urine absorbing pad 1 is applied to the wearer's crotch, and a substantially semi-cylindrical and semi-cylindrical auxiliary tool 6 is covered from the outer surface side of the front portion 2 thereof. At this time, the front part 2 is pulled in so that it follows the inner surface 12 of the auxiliary tool 6, thereby forming a groove-like space 17 in the front-rear direction of the auxiliary tool 6 as shown in FIG. 2.
Subsequently, the penis 15 is placed in the body axis direction so that the penis 15 is accommodated on the inner surface side of the groove-like space 17, and the front part 2 is placed on the abdomen of the wearer. At this time, the testicle 16 is also accommodated depending on the length of the penis 15 or the like, but can be isolated from the penis 15 by the groove-shaped measuring portion 18 that forms a space.
In this state, in order to fix the auxiliary tool 6 and the urine absorption pad 1, a diaper cover and net pants 14 are put and tightened and fixed.
This mounting force is received by the auxiliary tool 6 and transmitted to the leg end portion 13 on the opening side of the peripheral wall 7 to compress both sides of the urine absorbing pad 1 and act as a positioning force. For this reason, since the clamping force is not directly applied to the urine absorption pad 1, a free space is created in the auxiliary tool 6.

Accordingly, the penis 15 in the assisting device 6 is not affected by the mounting force, and is stably held without being excessively pressed in the free space of the urine absorbing pad 1, so there is no discomfort and the diaper The diaper can be removed and the direction of the penis 15 can be fixed at the center, and the absorption position during urination can be controlled at the center where the absorption power is large. Moreover, the direction of urination can be controlled also when the penis 15 is short or urinates upward.
In this case, since the auxiliary tool 6 surrounding the penis 15 has a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, there is no feeling of pressure on tightening surrounding the front periphery of the pocket-shaped positioning method provided in the conventional diaper.
Furthermore, when the penis 15 in the free space portion is directed downward, it is possible to avoid pressure blockage of the urethra and facilitate downward urination.

Further, the auxiliary tool 6 is covered with the urine absorbing pad 1 on the skin-side peripheral wall 7 and can be worn by a wheelchair user without being compressed even in the lower limb bending or sitting posture.
When the wearer urinates in the recumbent position, both sides of the urine absorbing pad 1 are compressed by the leg end portions 13 of the assisting device 6, so that the fibers and beads as the absorbent material have a high density, The absorption space of the urine absorption pad 1 is made dense and difficult to permeate, and does not lift from the skin, flows along the leg end 13 direction, and lateral leakage from the urine absorption pad 1 is suppressed.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a urine absorption pad, 2 is a front part covering the genitals, 3 is a central part corresponding to the crotch, 4 is a rear part covering the buttocks side, and 5 is a side edge. The urine absorption pad 1 is made of a cloth having high liquid absorption and hygroscopicity on the skin side. Reference numeral 6 denotes a synthetic resin auxiliary tool formed in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and the peripheral wall 7 includes a front end portion 8, a rear end portion 9, an intermediate portion 10, and a top portion 11. As for the top part 11, the intermediate | middle part 10 is formed small, and it has a bowl-shaped semicircle cylinder shape as a whole. For this reason, the fastening force of the net pants 14 received by the top 11 is positively received by the front end 8 and the rear end 9.
The intermediate portion 10 has a smaller diameter than the front end portion 8 and the rear end portion 9 and is not easily deformed, and tends to suppress the deformation of the front end portion 8 and the rear end portion 9 and maintain a substantially semi-cylindrical shape.
As a material of the auxiliary tool 6, materials that exhibit elasticity such as many synthetic resins such as nylon, polypropylene, ABS, vinyl chloride, and polyethylene, and metal materials such as aluminum can be used.

At the time of wearing, the urine absorbing pad 1 is placed between the wearer's crotch, and the auxiliary tool 6 is put on the outer surface side of the front part 2. At this time, the front part 2 is pulled in so that it follows the inner surface 12 of the auxiliary tool 6, thereby forming a groove-like space 17 in the front-rear direction of the auxiliary tool 6 as shown in FIG. 2.
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3, the penis 15 is placed in the body axis direction so that the penis 15 is accommodated on the inner surface side of the groove-like space 17, and the front portion 2 is placed on the abdomen of the wearer. At this time, the testicle 16 may be accommodated, but it can be isolated from the penis 15 by the groove-shaped measuring portion 18 that forms a space.
In this state, in order to fix the auxiliary tool 6 and the urine absorption pad 1, a diaper cover and net pants 14 are put and tightened and fixed.

  This tightening force is received by the top portion 11 of the auxiliary tool 6 and is transmitted to the leg end portion 13 on the opening side of the peripheral wall 7 to compress both sides of the urine absorbing pad 1 and act as a positioning force. For this reason, since a fastening force is not directly applied to the urine absorption pad 1 in the auxiliary tool 6, a free space is created in the auxiliary tool 6.

  The auxiliary tool 20 shown in FIG. 4 forms a band through 21 at the top portion 20 and attaches a stretchable elastic belt-like or string-like attachment band 23 to the through hole 22. The wearing band 23 can be used in place of the diaper cover and the net pants 14. Of course, the net pants 14 may be worn after the auxiliary tool 20 is attached with the wearing band 23.

The auxiliary tool 30 shown in FIG. 5 forms a long vent 31 along the top 32. The vent hole 31 eliminates the stuffiness at the time of wearing. As the hole shape, Ru can be formed long hole 71 in an arc shape wall direction as shown in FIG.

  The auxiliary tool 50 of FIG. 6 is difficult to deform when the front / rear end portion 52 and the intermediate portion 53 are made different in thickness and the front / rear end portion 52 is made thicker. Further, an anti-slip member 54 that uses frictional force or hooking force such as uneven projections and ribs is provided on the inner surface to prevent the urine absorbing pad 1 from slipping.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the penis 15 is turned upward in the auxiliary tool 60, the front end 8 portion of the auxiliary tool 60 may be narrowed down. In this case, since the urine absorbing pad 1 coming out from the front end portion 61 is compressed out of the hole and drawn out, it is difficult for urine to leak.

  The auxiliary tool 80 shown in FIG. 9 is a case where the substantially semi-cylindrical opening-side leg end portions 81 and 82 are formed in an Ω shape exceeding 180 degrees, and the leg end portions 81, 82 is deformed inward and acts to entrain the urine absorption pad 1. If the opening angle of the leg end portions 81 and 82 is smaller than 120 °, the entire circumference of the penis 15 tends to be involved, which is not preferable.

  Although the above embodiments have been described for cases where they are applied to men, they can also be applied to women. In this case, the cross-section of the auxiliary tool 6 is made to be a substantially semi-cylindrical shape having a substantially triangular shape so as to match the space size between the groins. And downsizing. For wearing, the urine absorption pad 1 is attached to a position corresponding to the urethral opening along the inner surface having a triangular cross section. The force of closing the leg is applied to the triangular corner portion and the leg opening is deformed in the closing direction, so that the space outside the urethral opening can be maintained. In this space, the urine absorbing pad 1 is bent and deformed along the front-rear direction of the auxiliary tool 6 to form a groove, so that the direction of urination can be controlled and side leakage can be suppressed.
