Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an article suitable for treating male urinary incontinence.

Conventionally, disposable diapers, incontinence pads, etc. have been used to treat urinary incontinence, but since these are used in direct contact with the private parts, the area gets wet when urinating, and they do not have good breathability, so they should not be worn. Not only does it cause discomfort to the wearer, but it can also shift when the wearer changes position, resulting in urine wetting. In addition, this type of item is bulky, so if you wear it while wearing your normal clothes, the area where you wear it will bulge out, making it look unattractive and others may notice that you are incontinent.
It is unsuitable for people with urinary incontinence who are able to carry out daily activities.

The object of the present invention is primarily to provide a novel male urinary incontinence treatment article that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The present invention for achieving the above object will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an article 1 according to the present invention consists of pants 2 and a urine storage bag 3.

The pants 2 have the structure of a known men's pants in which the central part of the front body is double-layered with an upper cloth 4 and a lower cloth 5, and is preferably made of breathable stretchable fabric, and is further made of a known repellent ( The material is treated with a waterproofing agent. A penis guide hole 6 is provided in the lower cloth 5 at a portion facing the penis when the pants 2 are worn.

On the other hand, the urine storage bag 3 is made of a waterproof sheet such as a flexible synthetic resin film or a laminate sheet of the film and non-woven fabric, and has a large size that is interposed between the upper cloth 4 and the lower cloth 5 of the pants 2. It is formed. Furthermore, the urine storage bag 3 is
As shown in the figure, an opening 7, preferably larger than the penis, is provided in the upper part of the surface of the pants 2 facing the lower cloth 5. A penis guiding annular member 8 made of flexible material such as polyurethane is integrally attached to the outer periphery of the opening with adhesive or the like. A known pressure-sensitive adhesive 9 is applied to the surface of the annular member 8 facing the lower cloth 5 of the pants 2, and the adhesive surface is covered with a peelable piece 10 for protecting the adhesive surface. Inside the urine storage bag 3,
An absorbing and holding material 11 is stored. Absorption retention material 1
1, superabsorbent polymers, pulverized pulp, water-absorbing paper, etc. are used, but in order to reduce bulk and absorb and retain the required amount of urine, it is preferable to use superabsorbent polymers alone or mainly. It is preferable to use a material, and if necessary, it is covered in a bag-like shape with a water-permeable sheet such as non-woven fabric or paper.

In the article according to the present invention, the peeling piece 10 is peeled off from the annular member 8 and positioned between the upper cloth 4 and the lower cloth 5 of the pants 2 from the lateral direction, and
The adhesive surface 9 of the annular member 8 is fixed to the outer periphery of the penis guide hole 6 of the pants 2, and the penis is positioned inside the urine storage bag 3 through the guide hole 6, the annular member 8, and the opening 7. put into use.

When worn in this manner, the urine storage bag 3 securely holds and fixes the penis due to the close fit of the pants 2 to the body, and this state does not allow it to easily shift due to changes in the wearer's position. Since the amount of urine is small, the urine is reliably guided to the absorbing and holding material 11 of the urine storage bag 3, and the urine can be used with peace of mind without getting wet. Moreover, since urine does not come into contact with the skin or leak inside the pants 2 due to urine, the wearer does not feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, if the opening 7 of the urine storage bag 3 is formed to have a larger diameter than this so as not to come into close contact with the penis, stuffiness will not occur inside the bag. Furthermore, even if a load is applied to the inside of the urine storage bag 3 due to urination, the bottom of the bag is received by the bottom of the upper cloth 4 and lower cloth 5 of the pants 2, so that the annular shape of the bag The member 8 will not easily fall off from the upper cloth.

As described above, the article according to the present invention has excellent effects for treating male urinary incontinence, and is extremely useful in practical use.
