Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preventing body fluid leakage of a cadaver using a treatment device for preventing body fluid leakage from the cadaver, and particularly to a method for preventing body fluid leakage of a cadaver using a treatment device for treating the throat and rectum parts.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, when a human or an animal dies, the muscles corresponding to each part of the body cavity relax, so body fluids such as gastric juice, lung fluid, ascites, and excreta leak out of the body. Since these leakage substances cause bad odors and infections by pathogenic bacteria, for example, in a hospital, after confirming death, a large amount of gauze, absorbent cotton, etc. may be loaded into body cavities such as the mouth and nose of the cadaver, or openings of cadavers after accidents or surgeries to prevent body fluid leakage. However, the operation of loading gauze, absorbent cotton, etc. into the body cavity is complicated, and there are problems such as a mistake occurring in the operation and the body cavity not being completely blocked, or the gauze, absorbent cotton, etc. having low water absorption ability, so that body fluid often leaks during or after the operation. Therefore, there is a risk of infection by pathogens caused by the leaked body fluid during the operation, and a solution to this has been strongly demanded.

[0003] For this reason, for example, in Patent Document 1, a body fluid leakage preventive agent composed of a jelly-like substance containing a superabsorbent resin powder is injected into the throat instead of gauze or the like to prevent body fluid from leaking out of the corpse. Further, in Patent Document 2, a thin rod-shaped insertion tube that can be inserted into the nostrils or the like and an injector that houses a jelly-like body fluid leakage preventive agent are respectively prepared. The tip of the injector is connected to the base end of the insertion tube, and after inserting the insertion tube into the nostrils and reaching the tip of the insertion tube to the throat, the injector is operated to inject the body fluid leakage preventive agent housed in the injector into the throat through the insertion tube. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a treatment method for preventing body fluid from leaking out of the rectum of a corpse. A cylindrical rectal injector containing a gelling agent that absorbs moisture and gels inside and an expandable expansion member is prepared. After inserting the rectal injector into the anus, the injector is operated to push the gelling agent and the expansion member into the rectum, causing the gelling agent to gel due to the moisture in the rectum and expanding the expansion member to seal the rectum.

[0004] By the way, when performing the treatment as in Patent Document 2, in order to avoid the tip of the insertion tube being caught on the body wall when inserting the insertion tube into the body cavity of the corpse, it is generally performed to apply a lubricant to the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the insertion tube. Similarly, even when performing the treatment as in Patent Document 3, when inserting the rectal injector into the rectum of the corpse, a lubricant is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the rectal injector.

[0005] However, if the above-mentioned lubricant application work is performed by scooping up the lubricant with fingers, or by including the lubricant in absorbent cotton, cloth, etc., there is a risk that hands, clothes, etc. will be soiled during the work.

[0006] To avoid this, for example, Patent Document 4 discloses a lubricant applicator that applies a lubricant to the tip of an insertion tube as described above. The lubricant applicator includes a cylindrical case in which a hole into which the insertion tube can be inserted is formed, and a liquid-impregnated member impregnated with a lubricant is housed inside the case without any gaps. At a position corresponding to the hole of the liquid-impregnated member, an insertion portion composed of a cut or / and a hole through which the insertion tube can be inserted is formed, and by inserting the tip of the insertion tube through the insertion portion via the hole of the case, the lubricant impregnated in the liquid-impregnated member is attached to the tip of the insertion tube.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] However, in the lubricant applicator shown in Patent Document 4, the lubricant is attached to the surface of the insertion tube by inserting the insertion tube through the insertion portion of the liquid-impregnated member impregnated with the lubricant, and the lubricant is indirectly applied to the surface of the insertion tube via the liquid-impregnated member. Therefore, there is a possibility that the lubricant may not be sufficiently applied to the surface of the insertion tube.

[0009] On the other hand, the outer diameter of the tip of the insertion tube for the pharynx is about 6 mm, while the outer diameter of the tip of the rectal injector is about 18 mm, which is about three times that of the outer diameter of the tip of the insertion tube for the pharynx. Therefore, in the structure of the applicator as in Patent Document 4, there is a problem that it is impossible to apply lubricant evenly and sufficiently to both the surface of the insertion tube for the pharynx and the surface of the rectal injector.

[0010] An object of the present invention is made in view of such a point, and the object is not only for a treatment device for the pharynx using an insertion tube inserted into the nostrils or the like but also for a treatment device for the rectum using a rectal injector when performing an operation to prevent leakage of body fluids of a cadaver. It can be used, and a necessary and sufficient amount of lubricant can be applied to both of their surfaces, and moreover, it can be applied simply and cleanly without soiling hands, clothes, etc. during the operation.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0011] Therefore, in the present invention, lubricant can be directly attached to both the treatment device for the pharynx and the treatment device for the rectum, and moreover, efforts have been made so that a necessary and sufficient amount of lubricant adheres to each surface of the insertion tube and the rectal injector.

[0012] In particular, the first invention is A pharyngeal injector with a cap covering the tip and filled with a body fluid leakage preventing agent containing a highly water-absorbent resin, a flexible synthetic resin tube body portion having a plurality of injection holes formed at the tip, and provided integrally at the rear end portion of the tube body portion. An insertion tube having a rod shape having a connecting tube portion connectable to the tip of the pharyngeal injector, a rectal injector having an outer diameter of the tip formed larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the insertion tube and filled with highly water-absorbent resin powder, The outer peripheral edge is closed and inside A lubricant is accumulates A thin paper-like bag body filled with each is prepared, First, of the outer peripheral edge By breaking a part of the bag body, an opening that is communicable with the inside of the bag body and larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the rectal injector is formed, the lubricant accumulates inside the bag body, Next, after connecting the tip of the laryngeal injector with the cap removed to the connecting tube portion of the tube main body, while one hand of the operator holds the bag body, the other hand of the operator holds the insertion tube and inserts the tip of the tube main body through the opening into 、 the inside of the bag body immerses in the accumulated lubricant by doing so makes direct contact with the lubricant attach the lubricant to the surface of the tip of the tube main body and the injection hole, After that, insert the tube main body from its tip side into the nostril or oral cavity of the cadaver and reach the tip of the tube main body to the laryngeal part, and then inject the body fluid leakage prevention agent inside the laryngeal injector through the injection hole into the laryngeal part to prevent the body fluid from leaking out of the laryngeal part to the outside of the body. Then, while one hand of the operator holds the bag body again, the other hand of the operator holds the rectal injector and inserts the tip of the rectal injector through the opening into 、 the inside of the bag body immerses in the accumulated lubricant by doing so makes direct contact with the lubricant attach the lubricant to the tip of the rectal injector, And after inserting the rectal injector from its tip side into the anus of the cadaver and reaching the tip of the rectal injector to the rectum, inject the highly water-absorbent resin powder inside the rectal injector into the rectum to prevent the body fluid from leaking out of the rectum to the outside of the body.

[0013] According to the first invention, since the tips of the insertion tube for the laryngeal part and the rectal injector can be directly immersed in the lubricant, a sufficient amount of lubricant can be surely attached to the surfaces of both tips. In addition, an opening that can accommodate both the insertion tube for the laryngeal part and the rectal injector can be formed by simply breaking a part of the bag body, and by inserting the tips of the insertion tube for the laryngeal part and the rectal injector into the inside of the bag body through the opening, the lubricant adheres to the surfaces of the respective tips. Thus, even an unskilled person can easily perform the operation, and moreover, the work can be done without soiling the hands.

[0014] A second aspect of the present invention is the tube of the first aspect of the present invention, wherein one of the plurality of casting holes is a front casting hole formed on the tube axis at the tip of the tube main body, and the remaining casting holes are a plurality of side casting holes formed around the front casting hole; The tip of the pipe body is inserted into the bag. immersed in the accumulated lubricant In this case, the tip of the pipe main body is immersed in a lubricant to adhere the lubricant to the surface of the tip of the pipe main body, while the lubricant is allowed to enter the front injection hole and each of the side injection holes.

[0015] According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the tip of the insertion tube is inserted into the bag, the lubricant also enters the inside of the injection hole. Therefore, when the insertion tube is inserted into a body cavity, the peripheral edge of the injection hole becomes more slidable against the inner wall of the body cavity, making it easier to insert the insertion tube into the body cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, since the injection hole contains a lubricant, the leakage prevention agent slides easily along the periphery of the injection hole, allowing the leakage prevention agent to be smoothly discharged from the inside of the insertion tube toward the throat.

[0017] A third invention is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the bag body is provided with a mark for forming the opening.

[0018] According to the third invention, a mark for forming an opening is provided on a part of the bag body, so that even when performing the work repeatedly, the worker can tear the bag body in the same position without making a mistake and so as to create a similar opening.

[0019] A fourth invention is characterized in that in the third invention, the mark is a slit portion formed on the outer periphery of the bag body.

[0020] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when an operator applies force to the bag, the force is concentrated on the slit portion, so that the bag can be easily torn.

[0021] The fifth invention is any one of the first to fourth inventions, The rectal syringe has a communication hole formed at its tip, and a rectal syringe filled with the superabsorbent resin powder therein, and a piston that is slidably inserted into the rectal syringe from the rear end of the rectal syringe and that extrudes the superabsorbent resin powder from the communication hole by sliding it into the rectal syringe. Inside the tip side of the rectal syringe, a leakage prevention body that closes the communication hole and prevents the superabsorbent resin powder from leaking out of the communication hole is disposed so as to be exposed from the communication hole. When the tip of the rectal syringe is inserted into the inside of the bag body, while immersing the tip of the rectal syringe in a lubricant to attach the lubricant to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe, the lubricant is attached to the portion exposed from the communication hole of the leakage prevention body.

[0022] According to the fifth invention, when the tip of the rectal syringe is inserted into the inside of the bag body, the lubricant adheres to the leakage prevention body through the communication hole, and a large amount of lubricant adheres to the tip of the rectal syringe. Therefore, the operation when inserting the tip of the rectal syringe into the anus becomes easier.

[0023] The sixth invention is in the fifth invention, The leakage prevention body is characterized by being made of water-absorbing fibers.

[0024] According to the sixth invention, when the tip of the rectal syringe is immersed in a lubricant, a large amount of lubricant enters the leakage prevention body through the communication hole. Therefore, a large amount of lubricant adheres to the tip of the rectal syringe, and it is possible to make it easier to further insert the tip of the rectal syringe into the rectum.

[0025] In addition, since a large amount of lubricant has entered the leakage prevention body, the leakage prevention body becomes slippery with respect to the periphery of the communication hole, and the leakage prevention body can be smoothly pushed out from the inside of the injection tube toward the rectum.

[0026] The seventh invention is any one of the first to sixth inventions, wherein the lubricant contains at least one of a deodorant, a bactericide, and a fragrance.

[0027] According to the seventh invention, the lubricant adhering to the body wall of the body cavity or the like after the operation can absorb the abnormal odor, or prevent the operator from being infected with pathogenic bacteria during the operation, thereby improving the working environment.

[0028] The eighth invention is any one of the first to seventh inventions, when the tip of the tube body portion is inserted into the inside of the bag body, the operator holds the bag body with one hand so as to sandwich the tip of the tube body portion from the outside thereof, and presses the lubricant inside the bag body against each injection hole of the tube body portion.

[0029] According to the eighth invention, the lubricant moves toward the surface of the tip of the insertion tube, so that a large amount of the lubricant inside the bag body can enter the injection holes at the tip of the insertion tube.

[0030] The ninth invention is any one of the first to eighth inventions, when the tip of the tube body portion is inserted into the inside of the bag body, the operator holds the bag body with one hand and rotates the tip of the tube body portion forward and backward around its tube axis with the other hand.

[0031] According to the ninth invention, the surface of the tip of the insertion tube moves not only in the insertion direction but also in the circumferential direction of the insertion tube with respect to the lubricant, so that the lubricant can be more evenly attached to the surface of the tip of the insertion tube.

[0032] The tenth invention is the of 5 invention clearly wherein, When the tip of the above-mentioned rectal syringe is inserted into the inside of the above-mentioned bag body, the operator holds the above-mentioned bag body with one hand from the outside so as to sandwich the tip of the above-mentioned rectal syringe, and presses the lubricant inside the above-mentioned bag body against the communication hole of the above-mentioned rectal syringe.

[0033] According to the tenth invention, since the lubricant moves toward the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe, a large amount of the lubricant inside the bag body can be attached to the periphery of the communication hole of the rectal syringe.

[0034] The eleventh invention is the 5 or tenth invention clearly wherein When the tip of the above-mentioned rectal syringe is inserted into the inside of the above-mentioned bag body, the operator holds the above-mentioned bag body with one hand, while rotating the above-mentioned rectal syringe forward and backward around its axis with the other hand.

[0035] According to the eleventh invention, since the tip surface of the rectal syringe moves not only in the insertion direction but also in the circumferential direction of the rectal syringe with respect to the lubricant, the lubricant can be more evenly attached to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe.

Advantages of the Invention

[0036] In the present invention, by simply inserting the tip of the tube body part or the tip of the rectal injector into the inside of the bag body through the opening formed by breaking a part of the bag body, the tip of the tube body part or the tip of the rectal injector can be immersed in the lubricant enclosed inside the bag body. Therefore, even a non-expert can attach the lubricant to both tip parts with a simple operation without soiling the hands.

[0037] Moreover, both the treatment device for the throat part and the treatment device for the rectal part can be used at the same time during the same operation, and leakage of body fluid from the whole body of the cadaver can be prevented in one operation.

[0038] Note that the throat part is the part so-called the throat, and includes the pharynx and the larynx and the parts in the vicinity thereof.

[0039] Also, when injecting the body fluid leakage preventive agent from the injection hole in the tube body portion of the insertion tube into the pharyngeal region, the tip portion of the tube body portion may reach the pharyngeal region or may reach deeper than the pharyngeal region. When the tip portion of the tube body portion reaches deeper than the pharyngeal region, the injection hole may be opened closer to the rear end than the tip portion of the tube body portion so that the injection hole is positioned in the pharyngeal region.

[0040] Alternatively, the tube body portion of the insertion tube may be inserted up to in front of the pharyngeal region, and the body fluid leakage preventive agent injected from the injection hole may be poured into the pharyngeal region.

[0041] As the body fluid leakage preventive agent, for example, a body fluid leakage preventive agent in which a superabsorbent polymer powder that absorbs body fluid is dispersed in a viscous fluid as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-275001 can be used. Also, a body fluid leakage preventive agent in which the above superabsorbent polymer powder is dispersed in a cream-like base agent or a mousse-like base agent can be used.

[0043] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiments is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0044] Based on FIGS. 1 and 2, a treatment device 1 for the pharyngeal region according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The treatment device 1 for the pharyngeal region includes a syringe 10 that houses a body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 for a cadaver, and a rod-shaped insertion tube 20 that injects the body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 into the pharyngeal region B (see FIG. 4) of the cadaver. As the body fluid leakage preventive agent 2, for example, a jelly substance disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-275001 can be used. The syringe 10 is composed of a pharyngeal syringe 11 and a piston 12. The pharyngeal syringe 11 has a cylindrical accommodating portion 13 filled with a body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 containing a highly water-absorbent resin therein, and a cylindrical portion 14 protruding from the tip of the accommodating portion 13. The cylindrical portion 14 has a tapered shape that gradually becomes thinner toward its tip, and two protruding portions 15 are formed on the outer peripheral surface.

[0045] The insertion tube 20 is made of a synthetic resin material having flexibility and flexibility such as soft vinyl chloride, and includes a tube main body portion 21 that bends when inserted from the nostril A (see FIG. 4) toward the pharyngeal region B. A connecting tube portion 31 connected to the cylindrical portion 14 of the syringe 10 is integrally provided on the rear end side (the right side in FIG. 1) of the tube main body portion 21.

[0046] The tube main body portion 21 has an elongated cylindrical shape like a hollow tube. This tube main body portion 21 has both flexibility that can be deformed according to the internal shape of the cadaver extending from the nostril A to the pharyngeal region B, and firmness such that the internal passage R of the tube main body portion 21 does not collapse when inserted into the nostril A.

[0047] On the axial front end side (the left side in FIG. 1) of the tube main body 21, two front injection holes 23a, 23b (side injection holes) communicating with the inside of the tube main body 21, two rear injection holes 23c, 23d (side injection holes), and a front injection hole 24 are respectively formed, and each injection hole is configured to guide the body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 filled into the inside of the tube main body 21 from the injector 10 into the body cavity of the cadaver. That is, one of the plurality of injection holes formed at the tip of the tube main body 21 is the front injection hole 24 formed on the tube axis at the tip of the tube main body 21, while the injection holes other than the front injection hole 24 among the plurality of injection holes are a plurality of side injection holes (front injection holes 23a, 23b and rear injection holes 23c, 23d) formed around the front injection hole 24. The opening positions of the front injection holes 23a and 23b are shifted by 180° in the circumferential direction of the tube main body 21. Also, the opening positions of the rear injection holes 23c and 23d are shifted by 180° in the circumferential direction of the tube main body 21. Furthermore, the front injection holes 23a, 23b and the rear injection holes 23c, 23d are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the tube main body 21. In addition, when viewed from the axial direction of the tube main body 21, a predetermined interval is provided so that the front injection holes 23a, 23b and the rear injection holes 23c, 23d do not overlap.

[0048] Also, the front injection holes 23a, 23b and the rear injection holes 23c, 23d are provided in order from the tip side of the tube main body 21 such that the central positions thereof are shifted in the axial direction of the tube main body 21. The front injection holes 23a, 23b are both oval in shape, with the long sides provided parallel and facing each other in the circumferential direction, while the short sides are provided facing each other in the front and rear in the axial direction, and these short sides are substantially arc-shaped. The rear injection holes 23c, 23d are both substantially square in shape, with two sides provided parallel and facing each other in the circumferential direction, while the remaining two sides are provided facing each other in the front and rear in the axial direction, and these two sides are substantially arc-shaped. The rear injection holes 23c, 23d are slightly shifted from each other in the axial direction. The front injection hole 24 has a substantially circular cross-section. And the opening areas of the rear injection holes 23c, 23d are set to be smaller than the opening areas of the front injection holes 23a, 23b.

[0049] The connecting pipe portion 31 is provided with a tapered wall portion 32 that gradually expands as the outer diameter increases toward the rear side. The tapered wall portion 32 has a first wall portion 33 that is externally inserted into the cylindrical portion 14 of the injector 10, and a second wall portion 34 that integrally connects the rear end of the pipe body portion 21 and the tip of the first wall portion 33.

[0050] The wall thickness of the first wall portion 33 is relatively thicker than the wall thickness of the pipe body portion 21, and the wall thickness of the second wall portion 34 gradually increases from the wall thickness of the pipe body portion 21 to the wall thickness of the first wall portion 33 as it goes from the pipe body portion 21 toward the first wall portion 33.

[0051] A groove portion 36 extending in the circumferential direction is provided at the axial intermediate portion of the first wall portion 33, and two groove portions 36 are formed at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction.

[0052] At a position closer to the front side of the first wall portion 33 in the tapered wall portion 32, a stopper 35 having a substantially C-shaped cross-section that protrudes radially outward and extends in the circumferential direction is integrally formed. The stopper 35 is provided at a position such that when the front injection hole 24 of the pipe body portion 21 reaches the throat portion B, it contacts the nasal tip A1. Incidentally, the stopper 35 may be set at a position such that it hits the nasal tip A1 when the tip portion of the pipe body portion 21 is located in the vicinity of the throat portion B. Further, the stopper 35 is not limited to the above-described shape, and may be in a ring shape continuous in the circumferential direction of the pipe body portion 21, or may be a protrusion shape protruding outward from a part of the side surface of the pipe body portion 21.

[0053] Alternatively, instead of the stopper 35, a mark may be provided to know the insertion amount of the pipe body portion 21 into the throat portion B. The position where this mark is provided may be set in the same manner as the above-described stopper 35. It is also possible to use the above-described stopper 35 as a mark. Further, a plurality of marks may be provided at intervals in the axial direction of the pipe body portion 21. The mark may be constituted by a protrusion, a recess, etc., or may be constituted by characters, lines, etc.

[0054] The syringe 11 for the pharyngeal region is an integrally molded product of a synthetic resin material. As shown in FIG. 1, the cylindrical portion 14 extends in a tapered shape toward the tip, and its axis coincides with the axis of the syringe 11 for the pharyngeal region. Further, at the tip of the cylindrical portion 14, a discharge portion 14a for discharging the body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 is formed. The outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 14 is composed of a tapered surface whose diameter decreases toward the tip side, and the shape of the tapered surface corresponds to the inner peripheral surface of the first wall portion 33 of the insertion tube 20. Therefore, when the cylindrical portion 14 is inserted into the first wall portion 33 of the connection tube portion 31, the inner peripheral surface of the first wall portion 33 and the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion 14 are in close contact with each other over the entire circumference, whereby sufficient liquid tightness is ensured between the cylindrical portion 14 and the connection tube portion 31.

[0055] On the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion in the axial direction of the cylindrical portion 14, two projecting portions 15, 15 are formed apart from each other in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the projecting portions 15, 15 are set to be located in the groove portion 36 and to fit into the groove portion 36 in a state where the cylindrical portion 14 is completely inserted into the insertion tube 20.

[0056] Note that the number of the projecting portions 15 in the cylindrical portion 14 is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. Further, the projecting portions 15 may be formed in an annular shape continuous in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 14.

[0057] A cap 16 that can close the discharge portion 14a at the tip of the cylindrical portion 14 is detachably placed on the cylindrical portion 14.

[0058] Next, the bag body 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The bag body 40 is rectangular and thin paper-like, and a lubricant 41 to be attached to the tip of the insertion tube 20 is sealed therein. An operator can break a part of the bag body 40 by hand starting from a predetermined position on the outer peripheral edge of the bag body 40 to form an opening 42 that communicates with the inside of the bag body 40. As the lubricant 41, a surfactant, silicone oil, alcohol, cream, liquid paraffin, soap solution, or oil, or a mixture thereof is used. Incidentally, the lubricant may contain at least one of a deodorant, a sterilizing agent, and a fragrance. By doing so, the lubricant 41 adhering to the body wall of the body cavity or the like after the operation of preventing body fluid leakage can absorb an abnormal odor, or can prevent the operator from being infected with pathogenic bacteria during the operation, and the working environment can be improved.

[0059] A cut portion 43 serving as a guide for the position where the operator breaks the bag body 40 is provided at a part of the outer peripheral edge of the bag body 40. Therefore, even when repeated operations are performed, the operator can break the bag body 40 at the same position without mistake and form a similar opening 42. In addition, when the operator applies force to the bag body 40, the force is concentrated on the cut portion 43, so that the bag body 40 can be easily broken. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the cut portion 43 is provided as a guide for the position to be broken at the outer peripheral edge of the bag body 40, but it is not essential to provide the cut portion 43.

[0060] Next, the treatment device 50 for the rectum will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

[0061] The treatment device 50 for the rectum includes a rectal injector 51. The rectal injector 51 includes a plastic rectal syringe 52 having a cylindrical shape that can be inserted into the anus H of a cadaver, and a plastic piston 56 that is slidably inserted into the rectal syringe 52 from the rear end of the rectal syringe 52. Inside the rectal syringe 52, a leakage prevention body 55, an absorbent 53, and a sealing member 54 are provided in order from the tip side.

[0062] The outer diameter of the tip of the rectal syringe 52 is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the insertion tube 20, and a plurality of flexible blade portions 57 are integrally provided at the tip of the rectal syringe 52.

[0063] Each blade portion 57 is arranged at equal intervals around the central axis of the cylinder and has a gently curved shape that gradually positions toward the central axis of the cylinder as it advances toward the tip of the rectal syringe 52. As a result, the tip of the rectal syringe 52 has a tapered shape that is easy to insert into the anus H. This tapered shape is substantially hemispherical, and the insertion tip formed by the curved surface facilitates the insertion into the anus H. Further, a communication hole 58 that communicates with the inside of the rectal syringe 52 is formed at the insertion tip of the blade portion 57, that is, at the very tip of the rectal syringe 52.

[0064] A plate-like flange portion 59 that projects outward is provided at the middle portion of the outer peripheral surface of the rectal syringe 52. When the tip of the rectal syringe 52 is inserted into the anus H, the flange portion 59 abuts against the periphery of the anus H so as to set the insertion amount of the rectal syringe 52 to an appropriate length (several tens of mm). As a result, the tip of the rectal syringe 52 can be surely arranged at a predetermined position within the rectum G. Instead of the flange portion 59, a scale may be provided at that position, or a color different from the resin material constituting the rectal syringe 52 may be applied at that position as a mark. Further, a plate-like flange 60 that projects outward is provided at the peripheral edge of the rear end of the rectal syringe 52. As shown in FIG. 8, the flange 60 is for facilitating the operation. After the rectal syringe 52 is inserted into the anus H of the cadaver, the finger is placed on the flange 60 when the piston 56 is slid toward the tip side.

[0065] The leakage prevention body 55 is made of an absorbent fibrous body such as cotton, and is arranged so as to be exposed from the communication hole 58, and prevents the absorbent 53 stored in the rectal syringe 52 from leaking when the rectal injector 51 is not in use. Further, when the rectal injector 51 is used, the leakage prevention body 55 can be deformed so as to smoothly exit from the communication hole 58 while pushing each blade part 57 outward, and quickly absorbs the moisture in the rectum when it enters the rectum.

[0066] When the absorbent 53 enters the rectum, a highly water-absorbent resin powder such as a superabsorbent polymer powder that quickly absorbs the moisture in the rectum and swells more than twice is used, and after absorbing water and gelling, an acrylic-based polymer cross-linked body that does not dissolve in water is used.

[0067] The sealing member 54 is preferably a molded body having a cylindrical shape by bundling a double-structured water-swellable fiber (fiber body) having an inner layer serving as a core formed of, for example, acrylic fibers and an outer layer disposed so as to surround and flex the inner layer and being processed to be more water-absorbent and swell after absorbing water. Those in which the highly water-absorbent fiber absorbs water and the diameter expands to seal the rectum are preferred. For example, those in which the highly water-absorbent fiber absorbs water and the diameter expands by 5 times or more (trade name Lanshiru F, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) can be used.

[0068] At the tip of the piston 56, a disc-shaped pressing member 7 made of plastic is disposed so as to be axially slidable within the cylindrical member 3. The disc-shaped pressing member 7 has a disc portion 17 that abuts against the expansion sealing member 2, and a disc portion 56a that is disposed so as to be axially slidable within the rectal syringe 52, and the disc portion 56a abuts against the sealing member 54. At the rear end of the piston 56, a flange portion 56b that expands outward is provided. The flange portion 56b functions as a portion to apply force when extruding the absorbent 53 into the anus H, and after extruding the absorbent 53, when pulling out the piston 56 together with the rectal syringe 52 from the anus H, it catches the operator's hand or functions as a portion held by the operator. Thus, by sliding the piston 56 into the interior of the rectal syringe 52, the disc portion 56a presses the sealing member 54 to extrude the absorbent 53 from the communication hole 58.

[0069] Next, a treatment method for preventing the leakage of body fluids of a cadaver using the throat treatment device 1 and the rectal treatment device 50 configured as described above will be described below.

[0070] First, as shown in FIG. 3, the operator breaks the bag body 40 starting from the cut portion 43 and forms an opening 42 that is communicable with the inside of the bag body 40 and has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the tip of the rectal syringe 52.

[0071] Next, as shown in FIG. 1, after removing the cap 16 covering the cylindrical portion 14 of the syringe 11 for the pharynx in the injector 10, the cylindrical portion 14 is inserted into the connecting pipe portion 31 of the insertion pipe 20. When the cylindrical portion 14 is deeply inserted into the connecting pipe portion 31, the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion 14 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the connecting pipe portion 31. At this time, since the cylindrical portion 14 and the connecting pipe portion 31 are formed of a synthetic resin material and each elastically deforms slightly, the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion 14 and the inner peripheral surface of the connecting pipe portion 31 are in close contact with each other. Just before the cylindrical portion 14 is completely inserted into the connecting pipe portion 31, the protruding portion 15 of the cylindrical portion 14 begins to fit into the groove portion 36 of the connecting pipe portion 31. And in a state where the protruding portion 15 is completely fitted into the groove portion 36, that is, in a state where the cylindrical portion 14 is completely inserted into the connecting pipe portion 31, the protruding portion 15 engages with the groove portion 36 and the tip portion of the injector 10 is connected to the connecting pipe portion 31. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the cylindrical portion 14 from accidentally coming out of the connecting pipe portion 31, maintain the close contact state between the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion 14 and the inner peripheral surface of the connecting pipe portion 31, and ensure high liquid tightness.

[0072] Also, as described above, since the wall thickness of the connecting pipe portion 31 of the insertion pipe 20 is thicker than the wall thickness of the pipe main body portion 21, the rigidity of the connecting pipe portion 31 is higher than that of the pipe main body portion 21. Therefore, even if an external force accidentally acts on the connecting pipe portion 31, the close contact state between the connecting pipe portion 31 and the cylindrical portion 14 can be maintained.

[0073] Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, while one hand of the operator holds the bag body 40, the other hand holds the insertion tube 20, and the tip of the tube main body 21 is inserted into the bag body 40 through the opening 42. Then, the tip of the tube main body 21 is immersed in the lubricant 41, the lubricant 41 adheres to the surface of the tip of the tube main body 21, and the lubricant 41 enters the front injection hole 24, the front side injection holes 23a, 23b, and the rear side injection holes 23c, 23d. At this time, when it is desired to further adhere more lubricant 41 to the surface of the tip of the tube main body 21 or to allow more lubricant 41 to enter each of the injection holes 23a to 23d, 24, the operator can hold the bag body 40 with one hand and hold the tip of the tube main body 21 so as to sandwich it from the outside, and press the lubricant 41 inside the bag body 40 against each of the injection holes 23a to 23d, 24 of the tube main body 21. Then, the lubricant 41 will move toward the surface of the tube main body 21, so that a large amount of the lubricant inside the bag body 40 can enter each of the injection holes 23a to 23d, 24 of the tube main body 21. Also, the operator may hold the bag body 40 with one hand and rotate the tip of the tube main body 21 forward and backward around its tube axis with the other hand. Then, the surface of the tube main body 21 will move not only in the insertion direction but also in the circumferential direction of the tube main body 21 with respect to the lubricant 41, so that the lubricant can be more evenly adhered to the surface of the tip of the tube main body 21. Incidentally, when inserting the tube main body 21 into the bag body 40, either only one of the method of holding the tube main body 21 so as to sandwich it and the method of rotating the tube main body 21 forward and backward may be performed, or both may be performed simultaneously.

[0074] After that, the tube main body 21 with the lubricant 41 attached is inserted into the nostril A of the corpse S from its tip side. At this time, since the tube main body 21 is thinner and more flexible than the connecting tube portion 31, it is easily deformed along the inner wall of the nostril A, and a small insertion force is sufficient.

[0075] When the tube main body 21 is inserted deep into the nostril A and the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24 at the tip of the tube main body 21 reach the pharynx B, the stopper 35 hits the nose tip A1. That is, the stopper 35 functions as a mark indicating that the tip side of the tube main body 21 has reached the pharynx B. When the stopper 35 hits the nose tip A1, the tube main body 21 cannot be inserted further into the nostril A.

[0076] When the insertion resistance is large when inserting the tube main body 21 into the nostril A, the tube main body 21 is once moved in the direction of pulling it out from the nostril A and then pushed into the nostril A again, or the insertion tube 20 is inserted into the other nostril A. By doing so, the tube main body 21 can be inserted toward the pharynx B. Therefore, even a beginner in body disposal can easily insert the tube main body 21 up to the pharynx B.

[0077] When the tip of the tube main body 21 reaches the pharynx B, the piston 12 is pushed into the syringe 11 for the pharynx. Then, the piston 12 advances toward the cylindrical portion 14 while slidingly contacting the inner surface of the syringe 11 for the pharynx, and the body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 in the syringe 11 is sent through the cylindrical portion 14 from the discharge portion 14a into the internal passage R of the tube main body 21 in the insertion tube 20. The body fluid leakage preventive agent 2 sent into the internal passage R of the tube main body 21 passes through the internal passage R as it is and is injected into the pharynx B from the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24, preventing the body fluid from leaking out of the pharynx B to the outside of the body.

[0078] Thereafter, while one hand of the operator grips the bag body 40 again, the other hand of the operator grips the rectal syringe 51 and inserts the tip of the rectal syringe 51 into the bag body 40 through the opening 42. Then, the tip of the rectal syringe 51 is immersed in the lubricant 41, the lubricant 41 adheres to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 51, and the lubricant 41 enters the portion exposed from the communication hole 58 of the leakage prevention body 55. At this time, when it is desired to further adhere more lubricant 41 to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 51 or to adhere a large amount of lubricant 41 to the leakage prevention body 55, the operator can hold the bag body 40 with one hand from the outside so as to sandwich the tip of the rectal syringe 51 and press the lubricant 41 inside the bag body 40 against the communication hole 58 of the rectal syringe 52. Then, the lubricant 41 will move toward the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 52, so that a large amount of the lubricant 41 inside the bag body 40 can be adhered to the periphery of the communication hole 58 of the rectal syringe 52. Further, the operator may hold the bag body 40 with one hand and rotate the rectal syringe 52 forward and backward around its axis with the other hand. Then, the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 52 will move not only in the insertion direction but also in the circumferential direction of the rectal syringe 52 with respect to the lubricant 41, so that the lubricant 41 can be adhered to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 52 more evenly without bias.

[0079] Thereafter, the rectal syringe 52 with the lubricant 41 adhered thereto is inserted into the anus H of the cadaver S, the flange portion 59 is brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the anus H, and the tip of the rectal syringe 52 is made to reach the rectum G. At this time, since the lubricant 41 adheres to the surface of the tip of the rectal syringe 52, the rectal syringe 52 can be smoothly inserted into the anus H.

[0080] After that, place a finger on the flange 60 and the rear end of the piston 56, and push the piston 56 into the rectal syringe 52. By pushing in the piston 56, the leakage prevention body 55, the absorbent 53, and the sealing member 54 are pushed toward the tip side of the rectal syringe 52. As a result, the blade portions 57 bend so as to expand outward, and the leakage prevention body 55, the absorbent 53, and the sealing member 54 are sequentially injected into the rectum G. Then, the leakage prevention body 55, the absorbent 53, and the sealing member 54 absorb the moisture in the rectum G and expand, and the sealing member 54 seals the rectum G.

[0081] As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the tip portions of the insertion tube 20 for the throat portion B and the rectal injector 51 can be directly immersed in the lubricant 41, the necessary and sufficient lubricant 41 can be surely attached to the surfaces of both tip portions.

[0082] Further, it is possible to form an opening 42 that can correspond to both the insertion tube 20 for the throat portion B and the rectal injector 51 by simply breaking a part of the bag body 40. Also, by inserting the tip portions of the insertion tube 20 for the throat portion B and the rectal injector 51 into the bag body 40 through the opening 42, the lubricant 41 adheres to the surfaces of the tip portions. Thus, even a non-expert can easily perform the operation, and moreover, the work can be done without soiling the hands.

[0083] Also, when the tip portion of the insertion tube 20 is inserted into the bag body 40, the lubricant 41 also enters inside each of the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24. Therefore, when the insertion tube 20 is inserted into the body cavity, the peripheral portions of the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24 become slippery with respect to the inner wall of the body cavity, and the insertion tube 20 can be more easily inserted into the body cavity.

[0084] Also, since the lubricant 41 enters each of the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24, the body fluid leakage prevention agent 2 becomes slippery with respect to the peripheries of the injection holes 23a to 23d and 24, and the body fluid leakage prevention agent 2 can be smoothly discharged from the inside of the insertion tube 20 toward the throat portion B.

[0085] In addition, when the tip of the rectal syringe 52 is inserted into the bag body 40, the lubricant 41 adheres to the leakage prevention body 55 through the communication hole 58, and a large amount of the lubricant 41 adheres to the tip of the rectal injector 51. Therefore, the operation when inserting the tip of the rectal injector 51 into the anus H becomes easier.

[0086] In addition, since a large amount of the lubricant 41 has entered the leakage prevention body 55, the leakage prevention body 55 becomes slippery with respect to the periphery of the communication hole 58, and the leakage prevention body 55 can be smoothly pushed out from the inside of the injection tube 51 toward the rectum G.

[0087] 《Other Embodiments》 In the embodiment, the cut portion 43 is provided as a mark when breaking the bag body 40, but it may have a structure that can be broken at any position on the outer peripheral edge of the bag body 40 without providing the cut portion 43. Further, the bag body 40 may be thin and flexible and capable of sealing the lubricant inside. The shape of the bag body 40 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and other shapes may be used.

[0088] In the embodiment, a common bag body 40 is used as the bag body 40 into which the tip of the tube main body portion 21 and the rectal syringe 52 are inserted, but two bag bodies 40 may be prepared and used exclusively for each.

[0089] In addition, in the embodiment, general-purpose preservatives, corrosion inhibitors, bactericides, sterilizers, fragrances, disinfectants, etc. may be added to the body fluid leakage prevention agent 2 alone or in combination. Further, for example, stabilized chlorine dioxide, formalin, alcohols, phenols, oils extracted from trees, etc. may be added to the body fluid leakage prevention agent 2.

[0090] In addition, the insertion tube 20 of the embodiment can also be inserted from the oral cavity toward the pharynx B.

[0091] Also, when using the above insertion tube 20 for infants, it is preferable to provide a mark or a stopper at a position about 5 cm from the tip of the insertion tube 20. Further, for children, it is preferable to provide a mark or a stopper at a position about 8 cm from the tip of the tube main body 21. Also, when using the insertion tube 20 for both the case of inserting from the nostril A to the throat B and the case of inserting from the oral cavity to the throat B, two marks or stoppers as described above may be provided.

[0092] In an embodiment, for example, a sealing member for earplugs and nose plugs made of a spherical cotton material may be provided for the corpse S. A rectangular cotton body for the oral cavity may be provided and packed in the oral cavity to prevent the cheeks from being extremely sunken. These cotton materials may contain a jelly body containing a highly water-absorbent resin inside.
