Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nursing skirts, more specifically, to a rehabilitation nursing skirt. Background Art

[0002] Skin protection and clean bed linens are particularly important for patients with incontinence due to illness or medical conditions. Due to their weakened control, these patients often inadvertently release urine and feces, which not only poses a threat to their skin health and increases the risk of pressure injuries, but also increases the burden on medical staff and family members in their care.

[0003] Currently, the standard practice is to use diapers to absorb excretions and regularly check and replace them to maintain dryness and cleanliness. However, since patients may defecate unattended, diapers are not detected and replaced in a timely manner, resulting in prolonged contact between excreta and the skin, increasing the risk of skin damage. Furthermore, leakage of excreta often contaminates bed sheets, requiring frequent replacement and cleaning, which increases the complexity and labor intensity of nursing care. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a rehabilitation nursing skirt. The technical solution is as follows:

[0005] The nursing skirt comprises a main body; the main body is provided with a detachable elastic waistband and an alarm device;

[0006] The alarm device comprises a humidity sensor, a microprocessor, a prompt unit and a battery which are connected to each other; the humidity sensor is arranged on the nursing skirt body; and the microprocessor and the prompt unit are arranged at the elastic waistband.

[0007] Preferably, a two-way zipper is provided; the two-way zipper includes a zipper tape, a first zipper head and a second zipper head; the zipper tape is provided on the side of the nursing skirt body and extends from the waist of the nursing skirt body to the hem; the first zipper head is provided at one end of the zipper tape close to the hem, and the second zipper head is provided at one end of the zipper tape close to the waist.

[0008] Preferably, the fabric of the nursing skirt body includes an inner layer, a middle layer and an outer layer composited from the inside to the outside; the inner layer and the outer layer are cotton fabrics, and the middle layer is a TPU waterproof layer.

[0009] Preferably, the humidity sensor is arranged between the middle layer and the inner layer of the nursing skirt body.

[0010] Preferably, the humidity sensor is a flexible printed circuit, including a flexible substrate and a metal electrode, and a plurality of humidity sensors are provided in a long strip shape around the hip area and both sides of the nursing skirt body, and the plurality of humidity sensors are connected in parallel.

[0011] Preferably, the prompt unit is a display screen, a prompt light or a buzzer.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model incorporates strip-shaped humidity sensors around the hip area and along both sides of the nursing skirt, enabling real-time monitoring of the patient's incontinence. Furthermore, the humidity sensors, which are flexible printed circuits, are located between the skirt's middle and inner layers. This not only ensures the humidity sensors maintain normal operation but also prevents the user from directly contacting them, ensuring a comfortable fit while wearing the rehabilitation nursing skirt.

[0014] 2. The utility model adopts a two-way zipper design, which reduces the difficulty of putting on and taking off the nursing skirt, makes the replacement of diapers more convenient and quick, and reduces the labor intensity of nursing staff.

[0015] 3. The TPU waterproof layer on the inner layer of this utility model effectively prevents urine leakage and can protect bed sheets from contamination to a certain extent even if the diaper is not changed in time. This not only helps maintain bed hygiene and reduces the frequency of bed sheet washing, but also directly reduces medical institutions' expenses on bed and linen cleaning and replacement.
