Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical supplies technology and relates to a waterproof protective cover for ostomy bags. Background Technology

[0002] Radical cystectomy is a surgical procedure that significantly improves the survival rate of bladder cancer patients. This surgery involves removing the bladder, distal ureter, and surrounding lymph nodes, and diverting urine flow by creating an abdominal wall urethrostomy or an orthotopic neobladder. Post-operatively, some patients require a permanent abdominal wall urethrostomy and the use of an ostomy bag. Existing ostomy bags generally consist of a base plate and a main body. The base plate has an opening in the center for the stoma area to pass through into the main body. The base plate conforms to the skin around the stoma, and the main body usually has a closable drainage port at the bottom to collect and drain waste. With prolonged use, especially during sleep, leakage easily occurs between the base plate and the stoma area. Furthermore, during activities involving water, such as bathing or swimming, water can easily seep into the bag through the skin-to-bag contact area. Cleaning the bag after these activities is also very inconvenient, significantly impacting the patient's quality of life.

[0003] For example, the pocket cover provided by CN201520108241.8 includes a cotton upper cover and a lower cover. The upper cover is a semi-closed structure with a closed top and an open bottom; the lower cover is a sleeve structure with both the top and bottom open. The lower end of the upper cover is connected to the upper end of the lower cover, and the two sides of the connection are partially sewn together, so that the upper end of the lower cover fits into the lower end cavity of the upper cover. The unsewn part in the middle forms symmetrical openings on the front and back, allowing the entire ostomy bag to pass through. Although this patent designs the cover from the perspective of privacy protection, it still cannot solve defects such as possible leakage of the ostomy bag and inconvenience when wet.

[0029] Unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures in the following embodiments or examples are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.

[0030] To effectively prevent the penetration of external moisture and internal fluids into the ostomy bag, and to ensure that the ostomy bag remains dry after certain activities, this invention provides a waterproof protective cover for the ostomy bag. (See attached image.) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes:

[0031] The protective sleeve body 1 has a hollow protective receiving cavity 11, and the inner surface of the protective sleeve body 1 is also processed with a first opening 12 for the ostomy bag to extend into the protective receiving cavity 11;

[0032] And a protective cover 2 connected to the first opening 12 and forming an annular shape, which is divided into a shaping area 21, an absorbent area 22 and an adhesive area 23 from the inside to the outside. The absorbent area 22 is used to completely cover the outer edge area of ​​the ostomy bag that is in contact with the skin, and the adhesive area 23 is used to adhere to the patient's skin.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the shaping area 21 consists of a deformable plastic strip and a skin-friendly fabric layer located on the inner surface of the deformable plastic strip. The deformable plastic strip can be made of a plastic material commonly used in the art that can be bent and deformed under force but does not spring back after the external force is removed, such as polyethylene or polypropylene. It mainly provides a shaping effect for the protective sleeve in the area of ​​the first opening 12 to facilitate the insertion of the ostomy bag and other uses.

[0034] In a more specific embodiment, the skin-contact fabric layer is a knitted fabric layer. By setting a knitted fabric layer as the inner layer, the skin-contact comfort of the inner surface can be improved.

[0036] The bonding area 23 also has a replaceable adhesive material layer on the inner surface of the waterproof outer layer.

[0037] In a more specific embodiment, the absorbent material layer is a gauze dressing layer. By covering the edge area where the ostomy bag fits against the skin with the gauze dressing layer, it can not only absorb the liquid that seeps out from inside the ostomy bag, but also prevent a small amount of water from the outside from seeping further into the ostomy bag area when the protective cover is used.

[0038] In a more specific embodiment, the adhesive material layer is a double-sided silicone pressure-sensitive tape.

[0039] In a more specific embodiment, the waterproof outer layer can be integrally formed with the protective sleeve body 1. Preferably, commonly used waterproof materials can be used, such as waterproof Oxford cloth, polyurethane layer, etc.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the shaping area 21, the absorbent area 22, and the bonding area 23 are all annular. By adapting to existing mainstream ostomy bags, the size of each area can be reasonably designed as needed to meet the above functions.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the inner diameter of the protective cover 2 is not less than the diameter of the first opening 12.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the outer surface of the protective cover body 1 is also processed with a second opening 13, and a waterproof zipper 14 is sewn at the second opening 13. Through the second opening 13, the ostomy bag inserted into the protective cover body 1 can be easily organized, and it is also convenient for cleaning and other work after use.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the first opening 12 is circular.

[0044] Each of the above implementation methods can be implemented individually, or in any combination of two or more.

[0045] The above implementation methods will be described in more detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] To effectively prevent the penetration of external moisture and internal fluids into the ostomy bag, and to ensure that the ostomy bag remains dry after certain activities, this embodiment provides a waterproof protective cover for the ostomy bag. (See attached image.) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it is mainly compatible with the ostomy bag 3, which consists of the ostomy bag body 31 and the ostomy bag bottom cover 32. The entire waterproof protective cover includes:

[0048] The protective sleeve body 1 has a hollow protective receiving cavity 11, and the inner surface of the protective sleeve body 1 is also processed with a first opening 12 for the ostomy bag to extend into the protective receiving cavity 11;

[0049] And a protective cover 2 connected to the first opening 12 and forming an annular shape, which is divided into a shaping area 21, an absorbent area 22 and an adhesive area 23 from the inside to the outside. The absorbent area 22 is used to completely cover the outer edge area of ​​the ostomy bag that is in contact with the skin, and the adhesive area 23 is used to adhere to the patient's skin.

[0050] In this embodiment, the shaping area 21 consists of a deformable plastic strip and a skin-friendly fabric layer located on the inner surface of the deformable plastic strip. The deformable plastic strip can be made of a plastic material commonly used in the art that can be bent and deformed under force but does not spring back after the external force is removed, such as polyethylene or polypropylene. It mainly provides a shaping effect for the protective sleeve in the area of ​​the first opening 12 to facilitate the insertion of the ostomy bag and other uses. The skin-friendly fabric layer is a knitted fabric layer. By setting a knitted fabric layer as the inner layer, the skin-friendly comfort of the inner surface can be improved.

[0051] In this embodiment, both the absorbent area 22 and the adhesive area 23 include a waterproof outer layer integrally connected to the shaping area 21. The absorbent area 22 also has an absorbent material layer on the inner surface of the waterproof outer layer; the adhesive area 23 also has a replaceable adhesive material layer on the inner surface of the waterproof outer layer. The absorbent material layer is a gauze dressing layer, which covers the edge area where the ostomy bag fits against the skin. This not only absorbs liquid seeping from inside the ostomy bag but also prevents small amounts of moisture from the outside from further seeping into the ostomy bag area during use. The adhesive material layer is double-sided silicone pressure-sensitive tape. The waterproof outer layer can be integrally formed with the main body 1 of the protective cover. Preferably, commonly used waterproof materials can be used, such as waterproof Oxford cloth, polyurethane layer, etc.

[0052] In this embodiment, the shaping area 21, the absorbent area 22, and the bonding area 23 are all annular. By adapting to existing mainstream ostomy bags, the size of each area can be rationally designed as needed to meet the above functions. The inner diameter of the protective cover bottom cover 2 is not less than the diameter of the first opening 12. The outer surface of the protective cover body 1 is also processed with a second opening 13, and a waterproof zipper 14 is sewn at the second opening 13. Through the second opening 13, the ostomy bag inserted into the protective cover body 1 can be easily organized, and cleaning after use is also convenient. The first opening 12 is circular.

[0053] In this embodiment, the waterproof protective sleeve is used by first inserting the ostomy bag (mainly the main body area of ​​the ostomy bag, i.e., the area storing excretory fluid) into the protective receiving cavity 11 through the first opening 12 of the protective sleeve body 1. At this time, the bottom cover 2 of the protective sleeve will roughly cover the bottom cover area of ​​the ostomy bag. Since the area of ​​the first opening 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the bottom cover of the ostomy bag, the position of the bottom cover 2 is adjusted to ensure that the absorbent area 22 completely covers the outer edge area of ​​the ostomy bag that is in contact with the skin. Then, the bottom cover 2 is attached to the patient's body using double-sided silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive tape pre-set on the adhesive area 23. Finally, the main body area of ​​the ostomy bag placed in the protective receiving cavity 11 is tidied up through the second opening 13 to avoid uneven placement of some ostomy bag areas that may cause discomfort. The waterproof zipper 14 is then closed to complete the protection of the ostomy bag by the entire waterproof protective sleeve. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the patient can perform certain activities and keep the ostomy bag dry at the same time.

[0054] After the specific activity is completed, the ostomy bag is removed from the waterproof protective sleeve by separating the adhesive area 23 from the patient's skin and using the second opening 13. The waterproof protective sleeve is then cleaned for the next use.

[0055] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be easily made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present utility model without departing from its scope should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
