Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cover. [Background technology]

[0002] A flat panel slider capable of storing a flat panel used in chest X-rays is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Handles are provided on the four corners of this flat panel slider. A chest X-ray technician places the slider storing the flat panel on the back of a patient and performs imaging. Before imaging, if the flat panel is misaligned with respect to the patient's back, the position of the flat panel is fine-tuned by pulling the handle on the moving side. After imaging is completed, the slider is removed from the patient's back by pulling the handle on the removal side toward you. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7233634 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the slider described in Patent Document 1, the handle is pulled many times over a long period of use, so the joint between the handle and the slider is likely to be subjected to stress. Therefore, if the handle is pulled too hard when removing the slider from the patient's back, there is a possibility that the handle will break at the corner of the slider or the slider will tear.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a cover that can prevent the handle from being cut off from the main body or the main body from being torn even if the handle is pulled strongly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The cover of claim 1 is a cover capable of storing a flat panel or cassette used for X-ray photography, and comprises a first sheet portion on the side that contacts the patient, and a second sheet portion opposite the first sheet portion and facing the first sheet portion, a rectangular, bag-shaped main body portion, and a handle portion attached to the main body portion, the main body portion having an opening that is open on one side, a bottom portion opposite the opening, and a pair of side ends between the opening and the bottom portion, the handle portion being belt-shaped and sewn into the main body portion from both corners of the opening along the side ends to the bottom portion, with parts of the handle portion protruding from both corners.

[0007] The handle portion of the cover of claim 2 may be sewn into the second sheet portion of the main body portion from both corners of the opening along the side edges to the bottom side opposite the opening, and a part of the handle portion may protrude from both corners.

[0008] The handle portion of the cover according to claim 3 may be sewn into the inner surface of the second sheet portion.

[0009] The handle portion of the cover of claim 4 may be integrally provided with a first long handle portion sewn into the second sheet portion from one of the two corner portions along the first side end portion connecting to the one corner portion to the bottom side, a second long handle portion sewn into the second sheet portion from the other of the two corner portions along the second side end portion connecting to the other corner portion to the bottom side, and a third long handle portion connected between one end portion protruding from the one corner portion of the first handle portion and one end portion protruding from the other corner portion of the second handle portion and positioned at a position spaced apart from the one side of the main body portion.

[0010] The main body of the cover of claim 5 may be formed from a material having antibacterial properties.

[0011] The cover according to claim 6 may have a surface of each of the first sheet portion and the second sheet portion of the main body portion that is water-repellent.

[0012] The cover according to claim 7 may have a cushioning material provided over the entire area of ​​each of the first sheet portion and the second sheet portion.

[0013] The first sheet portion of the cover of claim 8 may be provided with a mark indicating a center position of the flat panel or the cassette housed in the main body portion. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the cover of claim 1, when removing the cover that houses the flat panel (or cassette) from the patient's back, the X-ray technician simply pulls the parts of the handle that protrude from both corners of the main body toward themselves. In this embodiment, the belt-like handle is sewn along the side edge of the main body to the bottom side, so that the main body can be pulled strongly from the bottom side. In addition, compared to a configuration in which the handle is simply sewn to both corners, the connection between the main body and the handle is wider, so that the connection strength can be improved. Therefore, even if the main body is pulled strongly by the handle, it is possible to prevent the handle from being torn off from the main body or the main body from being torn.

[0015] According to the cover of claim 2, the handle is sewn into the second sheet portion of the main body, and is therefore located on the side opposite to the patient. Therefore, when the handle is pulled, it does not come into contact with the patient, and no friction occurs between the patient and the handle. Therefore, the technician can easily pull the main body by the handle.

[0016] According to the cover of claim 3, the handle is sewn into the inner surface of the second sheet portion and is not exposed to the outside of the second sheet portion, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance when viewed from the outside of the cover.

[0017] According to the cover of claim 4, the handle portion is provided with the first handle portion, the second handle portion, and the third handle portion integrally, so that the strength of the handle portion can be improved. Also, by grasping and pulling the third handle portion, the main body portion can be pulled strongly via the first handle portion and the second handle portion, so that the workability when pulling can be improved.

[0018] According to the cover of claim 5, since the main body is formed of a material having antibacterial properties, X-ray photography can be performed hygienically.

[0019] According to the cover of claim 6, the surfaces of the first sheet portion and the second sheet portion of the main body portion are each treated with a water-repellent coating, so that even if bodily fluids such as blood adhere to the surface of the main body portion, the fluids can be prevented from seeping into the material of the main body portion.

[0020] According to the cover of claim 7, it is possible to effectively reduce the sensation of the flat panel (or cassette) on the patient's back. Also, since the cushioning material is provided over the entire area of ​​each of the first sheet portion and the second sheet portion, it is possible to protect the entire back of the patient from the flat panel or cassette.

[0021] According to the cover of claim 8, when positioning the flat panel (or cassette) with respect to the patient, the position of the cover housing the flat panel (or cassette) can be adjusted by using the marks as references. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the configurations described below are not intended to be limiting, but are merely illustrative examples. The drawings are used to explain technical features that may be adopted by the present invention. For the sake of convenience, the cover 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 6 will be described with the cover 1 standing vertically. Therefore, the direction of the cover 1 is not uniquely determined.

[0024] The configuration of the cover 1 will be described. The cover 1 shown in Fig. 1 is a cover that is rectangular when viewed from the front and can store a rectangular flat panel 90. The flat panel 90 is an abbreviation for Flat Panel Detector (FPD), and is a recording medium that receives X-rays that have passed through the body and converts them into digital signals to obtain an X-ray photograph. For example, when taking portable X-ray photographs in a hospital room, a technician places the flat panel 90 inside the cover 1 on the back of a patient lying on a bed.

[0025] In this embodiment, the flat panel 90 is stored inside the cover 1, but a cassette can also be stored therein. A cassette is a thin, shielded case that stores raw film for X-ray photography.

[0026] 1 and 2, the cover 1 includes a main body 2 and a handle 3. The handle 3 is attached to the main body 2 and protrudes upward from both left and right corners of an opening 8 at the top of the main body 2 in a generally inverted U-shape when viewed from the front. As will be described later, the handle 3 is used to adjust the position of the cover 1 (flat panel 90) and when transporting the cover 1.

[0027] The structure of the main body 2 will be described. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the main body 2 is formed in a bag shape having an opening 8 (see Fig. 2) that is generally rectangular when viewed from the front and opens at the top. The main body 2 has a bottom portion 9 on the opposite side to the opening 8, and a pair of left and right side ends 7A, 7B between the opening 8 and the bottom portion 9. The main body 2 is formed in a bag shape by overlapping the front sheet portion 4 and the back sheet portion 5 with each other from front to back and sewing them along the outer periphery except for the top end. The front sheet portion 4 is placed on the back side of the patient. The back sheet portion 5 is placed on the bed side.

[0028] The configuration of the front sheet part 4 will be described. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, the front sheet part 4 is generally rectangular when viewed from the front, and has a two-layer structure of a fabric 41 and a cushioning material 42 (see Fig. 6). The fabric 41 is the outer surface of the front sheet part 4, and is arranged on the outside of the main body part 2. The fabric 41 is a synthetic fiber made of, for example, polyester, and is a bacteriostatic material (for example, product name "Maxspec" (registered trademark) manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc.) that has absorbed an organic (pyridine) bacteriostatic component therein.

[0029] The cushioning material 42 is the inner surface of the front sheet portion 4, and is disposed inside the main body portion 2. The cushioning material 42 is, for example, a polyester material (for example, "WT-1230 Double Russell Tough Loop" manufactured by XX Corporation) having a mesh structure (see FIG. 7) and has breathability and cushioning properties. It is even better if the cushioning material 42 is treated with antibacterial, deodorizing, and formaldehyde-free processing.

[0030] The fabric 41 and the cushioning material 42 are bonded together to form the front sheet part 4. A binder tape 45 is attached to the upper end of the front sheet part 4 so as to evenly sandwich the upper end of the fabric 41 and the upper end of the cushioning material 42 inside. The binder tape 45 is made of polyester, and for example, a stretchable knitted binder is used.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, a mark 10 is provided at approximately the center of the fabric 41 on the outer surface (front surface of the main body 2) of the front sheet portion 4 having the above-mentioned configuration. The mark 10 indicates the center position of the flat panel 90 stored inside the main body 2, and can be used as a reference for alignment with respect to the part of the patient to be imaged, and as a reference for alignment of equipment during X-ray photography. In other words, the center position of the flat panel 90 can be known when stored in the cover 1, improving workability. The mark 10 is, for example, a "+" mark, and may be provided by printing, for example. The shape of the mark 10 may be any other shape. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, an A-side portion 11, which is one side of a hook-and-loop fastener, is provided on the inner surface of the front sheet portion 4, approximately at the center in the left-right direction of the upper end portion of the cushioning material 42.

[0032] The structure of the back sheet portion 5 will be described. As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the back sheet portion 5 has a generally rectangular shape when viewed from behind, similar to the front sheet portion 4, and has a two-layer structure of a fabric 51 and a cushioning material 52 (see Fig. 6). The fabric 51 is the outer surface of the back sheet portion 5, and is disposed on the outside of the main body portion 2. The cushioning material 52 is the inner surface of the back sheet portion 5, and is disposed on the inside of the main body portion 2.

[0033] The shape and material of the fabric 51 and the cushion material 52 are the same as those of the fabric 41 and the cushion material 42. The thickness of the cushion material 52 is the same as that of the cushion material 42. The fabric 51 and the cushion material 52 are pasted together from front to back to form the back sheet portion 5. A binder tape 55 is pasted to the upper end of the back sheet portion 5 so that the upper end of the fabric 51 and the upper end of the cushion material 52 are evenly sandwiched inward. The binder tape 55 is made of the same material as the binder tape 45.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, on the outer surface of the back sheet part 5 (the back surface of the main body part 2) having the above-mentioned configuration, a rectangular certification mark 15 is affixed to the lower left corner of the fabric 51 (the lower right corner as you face the fabric 51). The certification mark 15 is, for example, the SEK mark (in red) for antibacterial processing. The SEK mark is a mark for a certification system (industry voluntary standard) implemented by the Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council. Antibacterial processing is processing that suppresses the growth of bacteria attached to fibers. "Bacteria" includes not only Staphylococcus aureus but also bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae that are harmful to the human body. A certification number is printed on the certification mark 15. The SEK mark can be displayed only on products that have been inspected for antibacterial effect, durability of effect, and safety of processing and have cleared the standards.

[0035] 3, on the inner surface of the back sheet portion 5, a B-side portion 12, which is the other part of the hook-and-loop fastener, is provided approximately in the center in the left-right direction of the upper end portion of the cushion material 52. The B-side portion 12 faces the A-side portion 11 provided on the cushion material 42 of the front sheet portion 4, and can be mutually adhered to the A-side portion 11.

[0036] The structure of the handle portion 3 will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, the handle portion 3 is formed in a generally inverted U-shape that opens downward when viewed from the front, and both left and right portions excluding the upper portion are sewn along the left and right side ends 7A, 7B of the front surface (the inner surface of the main body portion 2) of the cushion material 52. The handle portion 3 includes a first handle portion 31, a second handle portion 32, and a third handle portion 33, and is formed from a single tape-like belt. The material of the handle portion 3 is, for example, polypropylene. Of the handle portion 3, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32, excluding the third handle portion 33, are sewn to the front surface of the cushion material 52.

[0037] The first handle portion 31 is elongated and extends in the vertical direction, and is sewn along the right side edge 7B of the front surface of the cushion material 52 from the upper right corner to the bottom side 9. The perforation 31A of the first handle portion 31 is formed in an elongated strip shape along the outline of the first handle portion 31, and its upper end is located slightly below the upper end of the cushion material 52. The lower end 311 of the first handle portion 31 is located in the lower right corner of the cushion material 52. The upper end 312 of the first handle portion 31 protrudes slightly upward from the upper right corner of the cushion material 52.

[0038] The second handle portion 32 is elongated and extends in the vertical direction, and is sewn along the left side edge 7A of the front surface of the cushion material 52 from the upper left corner to the bottom edge 9. The perforation 32A of the second handle portion 32 is formed in an elongated strip shape along the outer diameter line of the second handle portion 32, and its upper end is located slightly below the upper end of the cushion material 52. The lower end 321 of the second handle portion 32 is located at the lower left corner of the cushion material 52. The upper end 322 of the second handle portion 32 protrudes slightly upward from the upper left corner of the cushion material 52.

[0039] The third handle portion 33 is elongated and extends in the left-right direction, and is connected between the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 31 and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 32. The third handle portion 33 is disposed at a position slightly above the upper end portion of the main body portion 2.

[0040] In this way, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are hidden inside the main body portion 2, which improves the aesthetic appearance seen from the outside of the cover 1 compared to a configuration in which the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are exposed to the outside of the main body portion 2.

[0041] A description will now be given of an example of how to use the cover 1 configured as described above. Note that the embodiment described below is an example in which the flat panel 90 stored in the cover 1 is placed on the patient's back for chest X-ray photography, but the location of the flat panel 90 may be changed as appropriate depending on the part of the body to be photographed.

[0042] <Stores flat panel 90> The technician inserts the flat panel 90 to the back side of the cover 1. At this time, the center of the flat panel 90 stored in the cover 1 substantially coincides with the position corresponding to the mark 10 provided at the center of the fabric 41 of the front sheet portion 4. After storing the flat panel 90 inside the cover 1, the A surface portion 11 provided on the front sheet portion 4 and the B surface portion 12 provided on the back sheet portion 5 are adhered to each other. In the state where the A surface portion 11 and the B surface portion 12 are adhered, the upper end portion of the flat panel 90 is disposed directly below the adhered portion. Thereby, since the upper end portion of the flat panel 90 is positioned, it is possible to prevent the flat panel 90 from being displaced within the cover 1.

[0043] <Insertion into the patient's back> Next, the cover 1 storing the flat panel 90 is inserted between the back of the patient lying on the bed and the bed. At this time, the cover 1 is arranged such that the front sheet portion 4 side is on the patient's back side and the back sheet portion 5 side is on the bed side. At this time, the orientation of the cover 1 (flat panel 90) may be adjusted and arranged so that the authentication mark 15 provided on the fabric 51 of the back sheet portion 5 is on the lower side (bed side). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the mistake of arranging the cover 1 (flat panel 90) in the reverse orientation.

[0044] <Fine adjustment of position> Next, fine adjustment of the position of the cover 1 (flat panel 90) is performed with respect to the patient's back so that the position of the mark 10 printed at the center of the front sheet portion 4 becomes the part to be photographed. At this time, it is preferable to perform fine adjustment of the position of the cover 1 (flat panel 90) by grasping and pulling the handle portion 3 or the portion where the handle portion 3 is sewn into the main body portion 2. The portion for grasping the main body portion 2 may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which the technician approaches the cover 1.

[0045] For example, when approaching the cover 1 from the third handle portion 33 side, the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 31 and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 32 can be grasped with both hands and pulled in the direction D1. Alternatively, for example, the third handle portion 33 can be pulled in the direction D1. Also, the upper right corner portion A1 and the upper left corner portion A2 of the main body portion 2 can be grasped with both hands and pulled in the direction D1.

[0046] When approaching the cover 1 from the first handle portion 31 side, the upper right corner A1 and the lower right corner A3 of the main body portion 2 can be grasped with both hands and pulled in the direction D2. When approaching the cover 1 from the bottom side of the main body portion 2, the lower right corner A3 and the lower left corner A4 of the main body portion 2 can be grasped with both hands and pulled in the direction D3. When approaching the cover 1 from the second handle portion 32 side, the upper left corner A2 and the lower left corner A4 of the main body portion 2 can be grasped with both hands and pulled in the direction D4.

[0047] The upper right corner A1 and the lower right corner A3 are the parts where the first handle portion 31 is sewn, and the upper left corner A2 and the lower left corner A4 are the parts where the second handle portion 32 is sewn. In this way, the parts where the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are sewn in the main body portion 2 have improved rigidity compared to other parts. Therefore, by gripping the parts where the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are sewn, the main body portion 2 can be pulled strongly, and the position of the cover 1 (flat panel 90) can be easily adjusted. In addition, since the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 extend to the bottom side of the main body portion 2, the entire main body portion 2 can be moved by pulling that part. In addition, the main body portion 2 can also be rotated by holding one of the two parts of the main body portion 2 that are gripped with both hands and pulling the other strongly.

[0048] Also, as described above, since the first gripping portion 31 and the second gripping portion 32 are arranged inside the main body portion 2, the first gripping portion 31 and the second gripping portion 32 do not directly contact the patient's back. As a result, no uneven surface is formed on the fabric 41 of the front sheet portion 4 that contacts the patient's back, so the patient does not feel discomfort on the back. Further, when pulling the cover 1, strong friction caused by the intervention of the first gripping portion 31 and the second gripping portion 32 between the patient's back and the fabric 41 of the front sheet portion 4 can be prevented.

[0049] When the cover 1 is laid on the patient's back, the cushioning material 42 of the front sheet portion 4 is arranged between the flat panel 90 and the patient's back. As a result, the flat panel 90 does not contact the patient's back only through the fabric 41, so the pain in the patient's back can be reduced. Further, since the flat panel 90 is sandwiched vertically by the cushioning materials 42 and 52 inside the cover 1, when the front sheet portion 4 contacts the patient's back, the flat panel 90 sinks deeply. Thereby, the cushioning property of the main body portion 2 can be further improved, so the feel of the flat panel 90 can be more effectively alleviated.

[0050] <X-ray imaging> After the position adjustment of the cover 1 is completed, the technician performs X-ray imaging using X-ray equipment. As described above, since the first gripping portion 31 and the second gripping portion 32 are sewn into the back sheet portion 5, they are arranged below the flat panel 90. As a result, the first gripping portion 31 and the second gripping portion 32 are not arranged on the upper surface side that becomes the imaging surface of the flat panel 90, so they do not interfere with the X-ray imaging.

[0051] <Withdrawal from the patient's back> After the X-ray is completed, the technician can easily pull the cover 1 off the patient's back by, for example, pulling the third handle portion 33 of the handle portion 3 in the D1 direction (see FIG. 1). As described above, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 of the handle portion 3 are sewn to the bottom portion 9 side, so that when the third handle portion 33 is pulled, the main body portion 2 can be pulled strongly from the bottom portion 9 side together with the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32. In addition, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are sewn by the perforations 31A, 32A with their respective faces overlapping the face of the cushion material 52, so that they can be firmly attached to the cushion material 52. This prevents the handle portion 3 from being torn off from the main body portion 2 even if the handle portion 3 is pulled strongly. Furthermore, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are sewn into the back sheet portion 5 of the main body portion 2 from the opening portion 8 side to the bottom portion 9 side, which improves the strength of the entire main body portion 2. This also makes it possible to prevent the main body portion 2 from being torn when the handle portion 3 is pulled.

[0052] <When transporting> When carrying the cover 1 housing the flat panel 90, for example, the third handle portion 33 of the handle portion 3 can be hung on the shoulder. Furthermore, with the third handle portion 33 hung on the shoulder, the main body portion 2 of the cover 1 can be held under the arm and held from below in the hand. This allows the cover 1 to be held comfortably and stably, so that the cover 1 can be carried safely without dropping.

[0053] In the above description, the front sheet portion 4 is an example of the "first sheet portion" of the present invention. The back sheet portion 5 is an example of the "second sheet portion" of the present invention. The mark 10 provided in the center of the fabric 41 of the front sheet portion 4 is an example of the "mark" of the present invention. The cushioning material 52 of the back sheet portion 5 is an example of the "inner surface of the second sheet portion" of the present invention. The side end portion 7A or 7B is an example of the "first side end portion" or "second side end portion" of the present invention, respectively. The upper side of the main body portion 2 is an example of the "one side" of the present invention. The upper end portions 312, 322 are examples of the "one end portion" of the present invention.

[0054] As described above, the cover 1 of this embodiment is a cover for a flat panel capable of storing a flat panel 90 used for X-ray photography. The cover 1 includes a main body portion 2 and a handle portion 3. The main body portion 2 includes a front sheet portion 4 and a back sheet portion 5, and is rectangular and bag-like with an opening 8 that opens at the top side. The handle portion 3 is attached to the main body portion 2. Such a handle portion 3 is belt-shaped and is sewn into the back sheet portion 5 from both left and right corners of the opening 8 along the left and right side ends 7A, 7B to the bottom portion 9, with parts of it protruding from both left and right corners of the opening 8.

[0055] In the cover 1 having such a configuration, when the cover 1 housing the flat panel 90 is removed from the patient's back, the technician only needs to pull the parts of the handle portion 3 protruding from both corners of the main body portion 2 toward the patient. In this embodiment, the belt-like handle portion 3 is sewn along the side edge of the back sheet portion 5 to the bottom portion 9 side, so that the main body portion 2 can be pulled strongly from the bottom portion 9 side. In addition, compared to a case where the handle portion 3 is simply sewn to both corners, the connection portion between the main body portion 2 and the handle portion 3 is wider, so that the connection strength can be improved. Therefore, even if the main body portion 2 is pulled strongly by the handle portion 3, it is possible to prevent the handle portion 3 from being cut off from the main body portion 2 or the main body portion 2 from being torn. In addition, since the handle portion 3 is sewn into the back sheet portion 5, it is located on the opposite side to the patient side. Therefore, since the handle portion 3 does not come into contact with the patient when the handle portion 3 is pulled, friction does not occur between the patient and the handle portion 3. Therefore, the main body portion 2 can be easily pulled.

[0056] The handle portion 3 includes a first handle portion 31, a second handle portion 32, and a third handle portion 33. The first handle portion 31 is long and is sewn into the back sheet portion 5 from the upper right corner along the right side end portion 7B to the bottom side 9. The second handle portion 32 is also long and is sewn into the back sheet portion 5 from the upper left corner along the left side end portion 7A to the bottom side 9. The third handle portion 33 is also long and is connected between the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 31 and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 32, and is disposed at a position spaced apart from the upper end portion of the main body portion 2. In this way, the handle portion 3 includes the first handle portion 31, the second handle portion 32, and the third handle portion 33 as an integral unit, so that the strength of the handle portion 3 can be improved. Furthermore, by grasping and pulling the third handle portion 33, the main body portion 2 can be pulled strongly together with the handle portion 3, thereby improving workability.

[0057] Furthermore, since the fabric 41 of the front sheet portion 4 and the fabric 51 of the back sheet portion 5 are both made of materials having antibacterial properties, work can be carried out hygienically in the medical field.

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. The materials of the main body 2 and the handle 3 are not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the handle portion 3 of the cover 1 is formed from a single belt, but the first handle portion 31, the second handle portion 32, and the third handle portion 33 may each be prepared as separate belts and connected to each other.

[0060] In the handle portion 3 of the above embodiment, the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 31 and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 32 are connected by the third handle portion 33, but for example, the third handle portion 33 may be omitted. For example, as in the cover 100 (first modified example) shown in FIG. 8, the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 131 may protrude upward from the upper right corner of the main body portion 2, and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 132 may protrude upward from the upper left corner of the main body portion 2. When pulling the cover 100 from the patient's back in this configuration, the upper end portion 312 of the first handle portion 31 and the upper end portion 322 of the second handle portion 132 may be grasped with both hands and pulled.

[0061] Alternatively, for example, as in cover 200 (second modified example) shown in Fig. 9, a ring-shaped gripping part 235 may be provided at the upper end of first handle part 231, and a ring-shaped gripping part 236 may be provided at the upper end of second handle part 232. When pulling cover 200 off the patient's back with this configuration, gripping parts 235 and 236 can be grasped with both hands and pulled. Compared to the modified example shown in Fig. 8, gripping parts 235 and 236 are easier to grasp with the hands, improving operability.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the first handle portion 31 and the second handle portion 32 are sewn into the inner surface (cushion material 52) of the back sheet portion 5, but they may be sewn into the outer surface (fabric 51) of the back sheet portion 5. Also, they may be sewn into the front sheet portion 4.

[0063] In addition, the surface of the fabric 41 of the front sheet part 4 and the surface of the fabric 51 of the back sheet part 5 may be treated with a water-repellent finish. In that case, even if bodily fluids such as blood adhere to the surface of the main body part 2, it is possible to prevent the fluid from seeping into the material of the main body part 2.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the thickness of the cushion material 42 and the thickness of the cushion material 52 are the same, but they may be different from each other. In that case, it is preferable that the thickness of the cushion material 42 located on the back side of the patient is made thicker than the cushion material 52.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the fabrics 41 and 42 use a kneaded type bacteriostatic material having a bacteriostatic component absorbed therein, but for example, the bacteriostatic component may be attached to the surface of the fabric by post-processing.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the certification mark 15 is attached to the lower left part (lower right part when facing the fabric 51) of the back sheet part 5, but it may be omitted. Instead of the certification mark 15, a mark indicating that it is the back sheet part 5 may be used. [Explanation of symbols]
