A waterproof protective device for the perineal area of ​​radiotherapy patients

Abstract

This invention relates to a waterproof protective device for the perineal area of ​​radiotherapy patients, comprising a shorts body with waterproof structures at the waistband and leg openings. A friction protection zone is located on the inner side of the crotch area of ​​the shorts body. Several one-way vent valves are arranged around the shorts body. The waterproof structure includes a rigid support ring arranged around the waistband and leg openings, and an elastic sealing ring along the inner circumference of the rigid support ring. The friction protection zone achieves friction protection through a medical hydrogel layer on its surface. The one-way vent valves allow air to escape only from within the shorts body. This application provides comprehensive, waterproof, and stable protection for the perineal and anal irradiation areas during pelvic radiotherapy. The design of the shorts shape and multi-opening waterproof structure significantly reduces the risk of water ingress. The medical hydrogel material provides focused protection for high-risk skin areas such as the perineum and anus. It is easy to put on and take off, suitable for patients to operate themselves, and improves their quality of life.
