AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for preventing sideways urine leakage, such as wrapping a urine pad directly around the penis, are not straightforward and evoke significant psychological resistance, especially in intimate caregiver relationships.
A tunnel-like space is created on the skin side of a urine retrieval pad using an auxiliary device, allowing the pad to be positioned to surround the penis, thereby stabilizing it and preventing urine leakage.
The solution effectively prevents urine leakage by directing it downward and reduces the psychological resistance associated with handling the penis, making the process easier and more acceptable.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to an auxiliary device for preventing lateral leakage of urine (hereinafter referred to as the auxiliary device) that is attached to a urine absorption pad in order to prevent lateral leakage of urine. [Background technology]
[0002] In nursing care, it is important to prevent urine leakage from the sides. One method for preventing urine leakage is to wrap a urine pad directly around the penis of the person receiving care. [Prior art documents] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] A method of directly wrapping a pad around the penis of the person being cared for to prevent urinary leakage from the side is known, but this method is not necessarily convenient, and there is a certain amount of psychological resistance from both the caregiver who performs this method and the person being cared for. This is especially true when the caregiver is a daughter-in-law and the person being cared for is a father-in-law.
[0004] This device creates a tunnel-like space in part of the skin side of the urine absorption pad using an auxiliary device. The non-skin side of the urine absorption pad is placed facing up and a part of it is pushed into the opening 3 of the auxiliary tool from below the curved part. In this way, a tunnel-like space is formed in part of the skin side of the urine absorption pad. The incontinence pad is placed on the lower abdomen of the care recipient so that the tunnel-shaped space properly surrounds the penis of the care recipient.
[0005] As described above, if the urine pad is worn so that the tunnel-shaped space created on part of the skin-side surface of the urine pad surrounds the penis via the auxiliary device, the penis will be stabilized facing downward. Leaked urine is discharged downwards, preventing sideways leakage of urine. Furthermore, the degree to which the caregiver touches the penis is reduced, so the psychological resistance of both the caregiver and the care recipient is reduced. Also, the urine pad is easy to put on and take off. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 2] This is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the assistive device of the present invention. [Diagram 3] This is a plan view of the assistive device of the present invention, which has small protrusions on the inside. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0007] An auxiliary device in which the longitudinal portion of a vertical frame is curved in an approximately arc shape when viewed from the side. EXAMPLES
[0008] The following description will be given with reference to the attached drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a roughly rectangular frame made of an appropriate material such as silicone rubber, the longitudinal portion of which is curved in a roughly arc shape in the longitudinal direction when viewed from the side.
[0009] This substantially rectangular frame may be an oblong or any other shape. The shape of the cut surface of the auxiliary tool is arbitrary, and the four sides of the auxiliary tool may be straight or curved.
[0010] To use this support device, for example, the main body 1 is held with the left hand with the curved portion 2 facing up, and the urine pad is inserted with the right hand into the opening 3 with the non-skin side facing up. This creates a tunnel-like space in part of the skin side of the urine pad. The urine pad is placed on the lower abdomen of the care recipient while still wearing the support device, so that the penis of the care recipient is appropriately surrounded in this space. The small protrusion 4 is a stopper that prevents the urine pad from moving backwards and falling out after being pushed in. [Explanation of symbols]
