Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] On the other hand, in the medical field, the act of a dementia patient or the like receiving intravenous drip treatment self-extracting the intravenous drip tube has become a major problem that hinders proper treatment. Here, self-extraction refers to an operation in which a patient removes the intravenous drip tube inserted into the body by himself / herself when the supervisor is absent.

[0005] Generally, the causes of self-extraction include memory impairment and spatial disorientation of the patient. In the case of memory impairment, the patient forgets why they are receiving the intravenous drip and removes it, or forgets what the intravenous drip is and removes it. In the case of spatial disorientation, the patient becomes anxious because they do not know their whereabouts and wants to go home, and recognizes the intravenous drip as an obstacle and removes it.

[0006] As a countermeasure at the scene against self-removal of the drip, there is physical restraint. Physical restraint, also called medical restraint, is an action restriction carried out to protect the life of the patient himself / herself and prevent serious physical damage to himself / herself and others. The three principles of physical restraint are urgency, non-substitutability, and temporariness. It is implemented after obtaining consent from the family, the patient is tied to the bed with a restraint band, and mittens are worn. Physical restraint may increase the patient's anger and distrust.

[0007] As other countermeasures, wrap a bandage around the injection site of the drip to make it difficult for the drip equipment to enter the patient's field of vision, wear long sleeves to hide the injection site of the drip, wrap the cuffs with tape multiple times, do not let the infusion tube come out from the sleeve tip, pass it through the clothes and let it come out from the neck, do not hang the drip bottle where it can be seen by the patient, and make the extension tube of the infusion tube longer to provide some slack when the patient moves, etc.

[0008] However, in reality, each countermeasure has become a heavy burden on nurses in the medical field.

[0009] If self-removal occurs once, a great deal of effort is required for the after-treatment by the nurse. Also, the patient's actions are restricted and he / she is restrained in an uncomfortable state. Furthermore, there is a concern that the patient may be forced to be unable to receive necessary treatment, the treatment may be interrupted, etc., and the patient's safety may be impaired.

[0010] In such a situation, as one of the countermeasures to prevent self-removal of the drip, improvement of the underwear worn by the patient is required.

[0011] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and its object is to provide medical underwear that reduces self-removal during drip infusion.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0012] The medical undergarment of the present invention is a medical undergarment having at least a body part and sleeves, and includes a front upper body part (21) and a front lower body part (22) that open forward, a rear body part (5) that covers the body together with the front upper body part and the front lower body part, a tubular sleeve (3) extending from both openings formed on the left and right of a tubular part that covers the body by the front upper body part, the front lower body part, and the rear body part, a slit (26) extending from the cuff (31) of the sleeve to the vicinity of the upper arm root, first fasteners (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46) that can lock both sleeve edges (261, 262) forming the slit, and second fasteners (34, 35, 36) that can temporarily fix an infusion tube on the upper surface of the tubular sleeve corresponding to the upper arm of the sleeve. A third fastener (37, 38, 39) capable of temporarily fixing an infusion tube to the shoulder portion at the boundary between the front torso portion (2) and the rear torso portion comprises , the slits are one slit on each of the left and right sides extending from the cuffs of the left and right sleeves to approximately the root of the upper arm such a configuration.

[0013] Here, "locking" means a state in which both sleeve edges of the sleeve with the slit are fastened so as not to open. "Temporary fixing" means that it does not move stably and can be released as needed.

[0014] It may also be configured to include third fasteners (37, 39) capable of temporarily fixing an infusion tube on the shoulder at the boundary area between the front body part and the rear body part.

[0015] When the first fastener is a hook-and-loop fastener, the hook-and-loop fastener may be configured such that the mating surface length (L41) of one of the upper fastener or the lower fastener for the first fastener closest to the cuff side is longer than the mating surface length (L42) of the other first fasteners.

[0016] According to the medical undergarment of the present invention, since the infusion tube is passed through the slit of the sleeve to the back side of the sleeve, it prevents the patient from seeing the infusion needle puncture site. Therefore, it has the effect of preventing self-removal of the infusion tube by patients with dementia or the like. The medical undergarment of the present invention is useful as an infusion self-removal prevention undergarment or an infusion undergarment.

[0017] According to the medical gown of the present invention, since it has a slit extending from the cuff of the sleeve through the vicinity of the elbow to the vicinity of the upper arm, the length of the sleeve with the cuff is wide and both sleeves are fully open, so it is easy to pass the arm through the cuff. Therefore, the burden on nurses is significantly reduced, leading to patient safety.

[0018] For example, it becomes easier for nurses or the like to manage intravenous drips. By opening the slit of the sleeve, the sleeve can be fully opened (fully opened). Therefore, the needle for intravenous drip can be inserted without rolling up the sleeve, and the area near the site where the needle for intravenous drip is inserted can be observed. Depending on the situation, even if the slit of the sleeve is not fully opened, the needle for intravenous drip can be inserted and the area near the site where the needle for intravenous drip is inserted can be observed.

[0019] Regarding the slit, if necessary, any of the plurality of first fasteners can be opened. Therefore, for medical personnel such as patients and nurses, any fastener can be opened to adjust the degree of arm exposure, so that the procedures required for intravenous drip operations can be performed simply and quickly. Therefore, it improves the work of medical personnel and can reduce the discomfort felt by patients during the procedure.

[0020] The intravenous drip tube in the area corresponding to the upper arm passes through the upper surface of the sleeve and does not contact the skin, and the intravenous drip tube above the sleeve in the area corresponding to the upper arm is held by the second fastener to prevent lateral movement, thus alleviating the patient's discomfort and improving the wearing comfort.

[0021] The effect of preventing self-removal by the patient is great, so it has the effect of reducing the risk of not being able to receive necessary treatment, the risk of treatment interruption, etc. Therefore, while ensuring the freedom of the patient, the safety of medical personnel when facing treatment can be enhanced.

[0022] If the intravenous drip tube in the area corresponding to the shoulder is fastened by the third fastener behind the neck or horizontally at the base of the neck, it is easy to route the tube from the intravenous drip supply source. It can effectively prevent the patient wearing this gown from removing the intravenous drip.

[0023] Furthermore, if the first fastener is a hook-and-loop fastener and the mating surface length of either the upper fastener or the lower fastener for the first fastener closest to the cuff side is made longer than the mating surface length of the other first fasteners, by squeezing the sleeve corresponding to the elbow to the wrist of the patient wearing this undergarment, it is possible to make it difficult for the patient to touch the drip tube.

[0024] Since the binding range by the first fastener expands toward the sleeve end, the feeling of comfort can be adjusted and it becomes easier to tighten.

[0025] According to this medical undergarment, the patient can safely face the treatment without being overly restricted.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0027] Hereinafter, the medical body suit according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In a plurality of embodiments, substantially the same constituent parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0028] (First Embodiment) The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the medical body suit includes a front body part 2, a back body part 5, and left and right sleeves 3.

[0030] The front body part 2 is composed of an upper front body part 21 and a lower front body part 22. The positions corresponding to both sides under the armpits and the shoulders of the upper front body part 21 and the lower front body part 22 are connected to the back body part 5.

[0031] The upper front body part 21 and the lower front body part 22 can be opened and closed by a plurality of upper fasteners 23 and a plurality of lower fasteners 24 that constitute a hook-and-loop fastener so as to be front-opening for the body.

[0032] A name tag 14 is formed between the lowermost lower fastener 24 at the lower edge of the lower front body part 22 and the lower end 211 of the lower front body part 22.

[0033] The sleeve 3 has a basic shape formed in a tubular shape. One end of the sleeve 3 opposite to the cuff 31 is connected to an opening (not shown) through which the arm passes near the upper end connection part of the tubular front body part 2 and the back body part 5 that cover the body trunk. The other end of the sleeve 3 becomes the cuff 31.

[0034] A slit 26 is formed in the sleeve 3. The slit 26 is formed by one sleeve edge 261 and the other sleeve edge 262 of the sleeve 3.

[0035] The slit 26 formed in the sleeve 3 extends continuously from the cuff 31 through the position corresponding to the elbow and the upper arm to the boundary position between the front body part 2 and the back body part 5 as shown in FIG. 6. The slit 26 is cut from the cuff 31 to the position corresponding to the shoulder in the extending direction of the tubular sleeve 3.

[0036] The length of the side part of the sleeve 3 is extended in the direction of arrow 27 shown in Fig. 6. As a result, during the drip operation, it becomes easier to open the cuff 31 in the direction of arrow 28 shown in Fig. 6 and roll up the sleeve 3 covering the patient's arm from the cuff 31. Therefore, the burden on the nurse performing the drip operation and the burden on the patient are reduced.

[0037] The upper fasteners 51 and 52 are formed at intervals in a position from the cuff 31 toward the elbow near one sleeve edge 261 constituting the slit 26 of the sleeve 3. Lower fasteners 41 and 42 that are joined corresponding to the upper fasteners 51 and 52 are formed at intervals in a position from the cuff 31 toward the elbow on the other sleeve edge 262. The upper fasteners 51 and 52 and the lower fasteners 41 and 42 respectively constitute a surface fastener composed of a convex fastener (male tape) and a concave fastener (female tape). This surface fastener corresponds to the first fastener in the claims. This surface fastener can lock the sleeve edge 261 and the sleeve edge 262 with one touch. In the unlocked state, the sleeve edge 261 and the sleeve edge 262 of the sleeve 3 are in an open state.

[0038] Regarding the vicinity of the cuff, as shown in Fig. 3, the lengths of the lower fasteners 41 and 42 are such that the length L41 of the lower fastener 41 is longer than the length L42 of the lower fastener 42 so as to constrict the opening of the cuff 31. The upper fastener can be locked at an arbitrary position of the longer lower fastener. Thereby, the opening degree of the constriction of the cuff 31 can be adjusted.

[0039] The sleeve 3 can switch the slit 26 extending from the cuff 31 to the shoulder to a locked state or an unlocked state by the lower fasteners 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and the upper fasteners 51, 52, etc. arranged at intervals along the sleeve edges 261 and 262 extending from the cuff 31 to the shoulder.

[0040] As a result, for the tubular sleeve with a spatial margin around the arm of the general undergarment's long sleeves, when adjusting the upper fasteners 51 and 52 to the lower fasteners 42 and 41 in the directions of the arrows 29 and 30 shown in Fig. 4 from the armpit towards the wrist direction to constrict the tube tip of the sleeve 3, the opening degree of the cuff 31 can be determined. Therefore, when using this medical undergarment, the comfort of the patient from the upper arm to the vicinity of the cuff can be improved.

[0041] In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, for the sleeve 3 corresponding to the upper arm part, the rectangular lower plate 342 of the cloth plate 34 is sewn and fixed to the fabric on the side of the sleeve edge 261 constituting the slit 26. A resin snap concave button 35 is fixed to the lower plate 342 on the fixed surface side. The snap concave button 35 has a button hole 351 at the center.

[0042] One end 344 of the upper plate 343 of the flap-shaped rectangular cloth plate 34 is sewn to the fabric of the sleeve 3, and a resin snap convex button 36 is provided on the free end side. The protrusion 361 of the snap convex button 36 can be fitted into the button hole 351 of the snap concave button 35 with a sense of moderation.

[0043] The cloth plate 34, the snap concave button 35, and the snap convex button 36 correspond to the second fastener in the claims. When covering the free end side cloth plate 34 from above the drip tube 6 in the state shown in Fig. 5 on the upper surface of the sleeve 3 and fitting the snap convex button 36 to the snap concave button 35, the drip tube 6 is temporarily fixed to the sleeve 3. Thereby, the lateral movement of the drip tube 6 sandwiched between the lower plate 342 and the upper plate 343 of the cloth plate 34 on the outer side of the upper arm of the sleeve 3 is restricted. Since the cloth plate 34 allows the movement of the drip tube 6 in the tube direction, the freedom of movement of the drip tube 6 is ensured. Because it is a snap button, the operability of fitting and removing is good. Therefore, it is easy to handle for both the patient and the nurse and has the effect of reducing the physical and mental burden. In the state where the temporary fixing is released, the drip tube 6 is in an open state from the sleeve 3.

[0044] As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the drip tube 6 is passed between the upper and lower surfaces (lower plate 342 and upper plate 343) of the cloth plate 34 of the sleeve 3. When the snap convex button 36 is fitted into the snap concave button 35 from the state shown in FIG. 5, the lateral movement of the drip tube 6 can be prevented on the upper surface side of the fabric of the sleeve 3, and the drip tube 6 can be locked.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at the upper end boundary region corresponding to the shoulders of the upper front body part 21, the lower front body part 22, and the rear body part 5, a cloth plate 37 capable of temporarily fixing the drip tube 6, a snap concave button 38, and a snap convex button 39 are provided in the same manner as the above-described snap concave button 35 and snap convex button 36. Here, the cloth plate 37, the snap concave button 38, and the snap convex button 39 have basically the same configuration as the cloth plate 34, the snap concave button 35, and the snap convex button 36 except for the position, and correspond to the third fastener in the claims. This third fastener basically has the same function and effect as the above-described second fastener.

[0046] As a result, it is possible to easily manage the routing of the drip tube 6 to a drip supply source (not shown) near the neck. For the patient, a sense of unity between the drip tube 6 from the drip needle location to around the neck and the body is created, and the restrictive feeling caused by wearing the drip tube is alleviated.

[0047] Regarding the boundary region between the front body part 2 and the rear body part 5, a seamless connection part (48) is formed in the underarm part from an opening (not shown) without a seam.

[0048] The lower end 50 of the rear body part 5 extends longer than the lower end 211 of the front body part 2 by a length δ.

[0049] (Function) Next, the function of this embodiment will be described.

[0050] When wearing the underwear, put on the clothes with the upper fastener 23 and the lower fastener 24 of the front body part 2 fully open.

[0051] During use of the underwear, the IV tube 6 inserted into the forearm or upper arm can be temporarily fixed and led to the back of the neck by the cloth plates 34, 37 provided on both sleeves and both shoulders from the rear to the front. Therefore, the tube 6 directly connected to the winged needle is hidden behind the sleeve 3 near where it is inserted into the body, and is out of the patient's field of vision. In addition, the IV tube 6 pulled out from the forearm or upper arm through the slit can be lined out of the patient's field of vision by passing it through the back of the upper arm. Furthermore, the IV line from the point pulled out of the slit to the neck can also be out of the patient's field of vision, making it difficult for the IV equipment to be seen by the patient.

[0052] As shown in Fig. 7, before starting an IV drip, an IV needle such as an indwelling needle or butterfly needle can be inserted into the arm with the slit 26 in the sleeve 3 open without having to roll up the cuff 31. This makes it easier for nurses to insert the IV needle into the patient. In addition, the slit in the sleeve 3 can be easily opened when connecting a different IV route, for example when injecting a drug into a route other than the main route using a three-way stopcock (not shown), reducing the burden on nurses.

[0053] When placing the drip tube, upper fasteners 51, 52 and lower fastener 44, which serve as hook-and-loop fasteners, are removed from the state shown in Fig. 4, and the slit in cuff 31 is cut open and drip tube 6 is used as shown in Fig. 7. When the drip tube 6 is pulled out from the body, it passes over the fabric of sleeve 3 without directly touching the skin.

[0054] The drip tube 6 near the shoulder is secured by a snap button 39, and is then pulled out from a position above the shoulder around the neck that is out of sight. Therefore, the patient's body movements are not hindered by the tube coming out from around the neck. The part where the drip tube comes into contact with the skin is short, so the discomfort felt by the patient is reduced. This increases the tendency to prevent self-removal.

[0055] The body garment has a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners attached from the cuffs towards the shoulders. Whether the infusion insertion site is on the forearm or the upper arm, the infusion tube can be extended from the infusion insertion site over the body garment. Thereby, it is possible to minimize the crawling of the infusion tube on the skin and reduce the discomfort of the patient.

[0056] According to this body garment, by providing a wide range where the hook-and-loop fasteners 41 to 46, 51, 52, etc. can be fastened towards the cuff 31 of the sleeve 3, the cuff 31 of the patient can be neatly tightened.

[0057] According to this body garment, during the infusion, the nurse can easily observe the insertion site. By extending the infusion tube to the back of the neck, it is easy to handle the tube from the infusion supply source.

[0058] In the first embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener is used for the fastener to keep the front opening closed. However, in the present invention, buttons and buttonholes may be configured instead of this hook-and-loop fastener.

[0059] Since the name tag 14 is provided, it is difficult to be lost due to the presence of the name tag 14 when the patient takes off the kimono and sends it for washing, etc. Since the name tag 14 is hidden and not visible from the appearance during wearing, it is also excellent in design. It is effective because personal information can be kept undisclosed.

[0060] (Second Embodiment) The second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 8. The second embodiment is a full slit (separable type).

[0061] The medical body garment of the second embodiment allows the body garment of the patient to be easily replaced with a new body garment while the infusion device is attached.

[0062] The structure of this undergarment is such that the shoulder part can be configured to separate the front body part 2 and the back body part 5 at the shoulder by removing the lower fastener 58 and the upper fastener 59 that constitute the surface fastener. In relation to the first embodiment, the slit extending from the cuff extends to the opening around the neck 57 via the part corresponding to the arm and the part corresponding to the shoulder.

[0063] Here, similar to the first embodiment, the undergarment includes a front body part 2 and a back body part 5 that open in the front, left and right tubular sleeves 3, a slit 26 extending from the cuff 31 of the sleeve 3 to around the neck 57, lower fasteners 58 and upper fasteners 59 for locking or releasing the cuff edges 261 and 262 that form the slit 26, a cloth plate 34 equivalent (not shown) for temporarily fixing the drip tube on the upper surface of the tubular sleeve corresponding to the upper arm of the sleeve 3, a snap concave button 35 equivalent, and a snap convex button 36 equivalent.

[0064] Further, it includes a cloth plate 37 for temporarily fixing the drip tube 6 at the shoulder in the boundary area between the front body part 2 and the back body part 5, a snap concave button 38, and a snap convex button 39 equivalent.

[0065] According to the medical undergarment of the second embodiment, with the snap convex button 36 corresponding to the second fastener and the snap convex button 39 corresponding to the third fastener at the upper arm and shoulder in the open state, while performing drip infusion connected to the body, by fully opening the slit 26 shown in Fig. 8 and separating the front body part 2 and the back body part 5 at the shoulder, it is possible to easily change into a new undergarment.

[0066] In this second embodiment, with the drip tube connected to the catheter inserted into the patient's body left as it is, by removing all the first fasteners, the second fasteners of the sleeves, and the third fasteners on their extensions, and removing the front buttons, the undergarment can be taken off.

[0067] Specifically, the snap convex button 36 and the snap convex button 39, which are the fasteners of the sleeve 3 on the side where the drip tube 6 is attached, are opened (released), and the drip tube 6 is released from the undergarment.

[0068] Next, fully open the lower fastener 58 and the upper fastener 59 corresponding to the first fastener from the cuff 31 to the neck circumference 57, and separate the front body part 2 and the back body part 5 of the sleeve. Then, undress the undergarment while wearing the infusion device.

[0069] In the second embodiment, in addition to the functions of the first embodiment, there is an effect that it is possible to further reduce the time and effort for undressing the undergarment and shorten the time.

[0070] Therefore, since a new undergarment of the same type can be worn by a simple operation, the burden is reduced for both the nurse and the patient. Other operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment. (Third Embodiment)

[0071] In the third embodiment, instead of snap buttons, as shown in FIG. 9, an example of buttons and buttonholes is used. For the sleeve 3 corresponding to the upper arm part, buttons 56 are sewn on the fabric on the side of the sleeve edge 261 that constitutes the slit 26.

[0072] The rectangular cloth plate 34 has one end 341 sewn to the fabric of the sleeve 3 and has buttonholes 55 on the free end side. The position of the cloth plate 34 is also the upper surface of the sleeve 3 in the upper arm equivalent part corresponding to the position between the elbow and the shoulder so as to correspond to the position of the button 56 that can be locked in the buttonhole 55.

[0073] The cloth plate 34, the buttonholes 55, and the buttons 56 correspond to the second fastener in the claims. Cover the cloth plate 34 from above the infusion tube 6 in the state shown in FIG. 9 on the upper surface of the sleeve 3 and pass the button 56 through the buttonhole 55, then temporarily fix the infusion tube 6 to the sleeve 3. Thereby, the lateral movement of the infusion tube 6 on the outer side of the upper arm of the sleeve 3 is restricted. Since the movement of the infusion tube 6 in the tube direction is allowed, the freedom of movement of the infusion tube 6 is ensured. Therefore, it has the effect of being easy to handle for both the patient and the nurse. In the state where the temporary fixing is released, the infusion tube 6 is in an open state from the sleeve 3.

[0074] As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, when the drip tube 6 is passed between the upper surface of the sleeve 3 and the cloth plate 34 and the button 56 is passed through the button hole 55 from the state shown in FIG. 9, the lateral movement of the drip tube 6 can be blocked on the upper surface of the fabric of the sleeve 3, and the drip tube 6 can be locked. (Other embodiments)

[0075] The second fastener of the present invention refers to a fastener that temporarily fixes the movement of the drip tube. The number of the second fasteners may be one or two or more. In the above embodiment, the second fastener is located at a position where the drip tube can be temporarily fixed on the upper surface of the tubular sleeve corresponding to the upper arm of the sleeve. However, it may be further provided at a position around the upper arm that blocks the patient's view during a normal neck-turning operation. In the above embodiment, the second fastener shows an example of a snap button. However, it may be a hook-and-loop fastener or other types of fasteners.

[0076] The third fastener of the present invention refers to a fastener that temporarily fixes the movement of the drip tube. The number of this third fasteners may be one or two or more. In the above embodiment, the second fastener shows an example of a snap button. However, it may be a hook-and-loop fastener or other types of fasteners. The third fastener of the present invention is located at a position where the drip tube can be temporarily fixed on the shoulder of the boundary area of the back body part. However, it may be provided on the back body part near the neck. The movement management of the drip tube 6 to the drip supply source (not shown) can be easily performed near the neck. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the third fastener is provided at a position where the drip tube can be temporarily fixed on the upper surface of the tubular sleeve corresponding to the upper arm of the sleeve. However, it may be further provided at a position on the upper surface of the sleeve corresponding to around the upper arm that blocks the patient's view within the normal neck-turning operation range of the patient.

[0077] In the first embodiment, an embodiment in which both sleeves can be fully opened is shown. However, an embodiment in which only one sleeve can be fully opened may also be used.

[0078] As for the present invention, a slit may be formed from the opening through which the arm passes under the armpit to the lower end of the body part, and the front body part and the back body part may be separated even at the armpit.

[0079] Of course, the positions of the fasteners for the upper front body part and the lower front body part of the present invention may be opposite to each other so that it is easy for a nurse to operate.

[0080] The hook-and-loop fastener used in the present invention is what is commonly called Velcro (registered trademark). One surface to be adhered of the hook-and-loop fastener is the hook surface, and the other surface is the loop surface, but the hook surface and the loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener may be opposite. The size of the underwear may not be of one type, but may be SS, S, M, L, or LL.

[0081] As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist thereof.
