Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is a care product for preventing bowel leakage in a user who has bowel leakage. [Background technology]

[0002] To contain fecal leakage, there are diapers, urine pads, and sheets with an adhesive layer that are covered with an adhesive containment bag that is then attached over the anus. Daily fecal incontinence is more painful because it has a stronger smell and is more uncomfortable than urinary incontinence. In addition, bowel movements that occur at any time are not kept clean, making bacterial infections more likely to occur, and are a burden on both the user and the caregiver, as they take up a lot of time.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2006-314758 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2018-089327 [Patent Document 3] Patent Publication No. 2013-103128 [Patent Document 4] Patent Publication No. 2000-116689 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] To prevent lateral leakage due to bowel movements from the brace, the area around the brace is covered with a special sheet or pad, and some braces also have a special pad on top of the pad to absorb any leakage from the brace. The use of multiple sheets over the urine pads makes it difficult to change the urine pads, which must be changed frequently, and the use of multiple sheets also increases the number of consumables.

[0005] The application of the sheet to the anal area is not possible in terms of the large swelling caused by defecation, the sudden decrease in surface area, the wettability, friction, contact pressure, and contact time. Furthermore, shaving the pubic hair to make it easier to apply the sheet makes it difficult to see and reach, which can cause injury. Even if the adhesive does not shift and the feces can be collected in the bag, when the patient is in the sitting or supine position, the area will be covered in feces because the patient is sitting on the feces. Also, the patient must wait for the helper.

[0006] Patients with cervical spinal cord injuries and other conditions require bed rest and must remain in a supine position at all times, but in Patent Document 1, the patient must be in a lateral position when receiving assistance or defecating. Also, the bed-type insert toilet is high, but it causes pain when the patient hits it, and makes it difficult to defecate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is an appliance that prevents fecal leakage into the diaper when worn. The assembled appliance shown in Fig. 4 is fitted to the shape of the buttocks, anus and buttocks and is fixed tightly to the intergluteal cleft. When defecation occurs, the appliance is fitted tightly by opening and closing the appliance in conjunction with the movement of the anus, preventing leakage to the outside. The lid (Fig. 3) can also be made to a height that matches the buttocks to create a passageway (10) for feces, allowing it to be used in both the sitting and supine positions. The appliance can be put on and taken off by the user themselves when in the state shown in Fig. 4.

[0008] The present invention is a device for preventing fecal leakage, comprising a lid to be attached to the anus, a fixture for holding the lid and fixing it to the intergluteal cleft, and a receiving bag for receiving feces discharged through the lid. The lid has a predetermined height, The lid is , open A closing section and the opening and closing section Established and an insertion portion to be inserted into the anus, and the fixing device is Installed The above Ta A circular portion having a passage for the user to pass through and a pair of support columns supporting two opposing sides of the periphery of the circular portion; It moves like a drawer inside The opening and closing part has a sliding part and a pair of contact parts that are arranged on each of two sides perpendicular to the support and contact the intergluteal cleft, and the opening and closing part is made of a soft material. ,anus The insertion Department and It is characterized by opening and closing in unison. In addition, in the above-mentioned device for preventing bowel leakage, The insertion part is anal Insert into gate death, anus It is inserted deep into the Prevents leaks. Further, in the above-mentioned device for preventing defecation leakage, the lid has an opening and closing portion. It opens and closes in close contact with the opening and closing of the anus.

[0009] The brace is breathable, comfortable to the skin, can be worn for long periods of time, and can be made of adhesive material such as NuBra, or rubber or soft plastic. As long as it is comfortable to the skin, there are no particular limitations on the shape or material.

[0010] Both the brace and the storage bag are made of washable, moisture-repellent materials. It can be cleaned more easily and can be reused multiple times. The waterproof storage bag has a handle so that washing it is not a burden.

[0011] The insert (9) It can also be attached using a clip to the inside of the soft area inside the anus. It is made of a shape-memory material, and is made to fit the shape of the anus and is fixed inside the anus. , The spatula (12) and the insertion part (9) form the lid (Figure 3), so they work together to open and close. Effect of the Invention

[0012] It can be used anywhere, anytime, in any position, and can be put on and taken off by the user. This reduces daily worries about toileting and allows you to live your life without worry.

[0013] In this way, preventing leakage for users with bowel leakage protects their self-esteem, shortens disposal time, reduces the restrictions of toilet assistance, and reduces mental distress. This has extremely beneficial effects. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] A fixation device that fits tightly and is fixed in the gluteal cleft. [Diagram 2] Storage bag, a storage bag for storing feces, top view. [Diagram 3] The left side view shows the lid, which opens and closes in accordance with the movement of the anus. [Figure 4] The defecation treatment device assembled as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3 [Diagram 5] This is a device that combines the three devices shown in Figure 4 into one. It has the same mechanism as Figure 4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The slide portion 15 is made of a slightly soft material to accommodate the pushing force during defecation.

[0016] The lid (Figure 3) is made of shape-memory material and springs. The opening and closing part (8) is highly flexible and works in the same way as the anus when defecation occurs. The image is that there is an anus outside the anus. The closing part (8) is tightly fitted around the anus. To make it easy to wear, it is made to fit the shape of the buttocks (anus) and protrudes about 5 mm in height. The inside is made like a spatula (12) to make it easier to collect feces. The lid can also securely fasten the storage bag (Figure 2). The brace is made to fit the shape of your buttocks, anus, and intergluteal cleft. .

[0017] To make it easier to remove the appliances shown in Figures 4 and 5 after defecation, the sliding portion 15 is closed.

[0018] To attach the brace to the buttocks, set the storage bag in Fig. 2 on the lid in Fig. 3 and fit it into the fixture in Fig. 1. The brace can be easily put on and taken off by the user in the assembled state in Fig. 4, but it can also be used by people who need assistance.
