Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an extubation monitoring tape that monitors the attachment status of a tube attached to a subject. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, a tube such as a catheter may be inserted into a patient's body. Such a tube is fixed to the patient's skin with tape to prevent it from shifting position. A seal for fixing such a tube is described in, for example, Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2024-066363 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, tubes have traditionally been secured with tape. However, if a patient unconsciously touches the tube just before waking up from anesthesia, the tube may become dislodged even if secured with tape. While it may be possible to monitor the state of attachment of the tube attached to the patient by human eyes, this is not practical due to issues such as a shortage of nurses.

[0005] For this reason, the present disclosure describes an extubation monitoring tape that can easily monitor the attachment status of a tube attached to a subject. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One embodiment of the extubation monitoring tape of the present disclosure is [1] "an extubation monitoring tape for monitoring the attachment status of a tube attached to a subject, comprising: a base portion having a first base surface that is attached to the subject and a second base surface opposite to the first base surface; a strap portion that is attached to the second base surface and clamps the tube between the strap portion and the second base surface; a detection portion that detects peeling of the strap portion from the second base surface; and an output portion that outputs the detection result of the detection portion."

[0007] In this extubation monitoring tape, the tube is held by being sandwiched between the base portion and the strap portion on the base portion attached to the subject. For example, if the subject unintentionally touches the tube or if force is applied to the tube, the strap portion will peel off from the base portion. The detection unit detects this peeling of the strap portion. In other words, the detection unit can detect that force has been applied to the tube attached to the subject and that the state of the tube has changed (or may have changed). In this way, the extubation monitoring tape makes it easy to monitor the attachment state of the tube attached to the subject based on the output of the output unit.

[0008] The above-mentioned extubation monitoring tape may be [2] "the extubation monitoring tape described in [1] above, wherein a strap base end portion, which is the base end portion of the strap portion, is connected to the base portion, a strap attachment portion provided at the tip end of the strap portion is attached to the second base surface, and the detection portion detects peeling of the strap attachment portion from the second base surface."

[0009] In this case, the tube can be easily held by simply attaching the strap attachment part to the second base surface of the base part so that the tube is sandwiched between the base part and the extubation monitoring tape. This allows the tube to be easily set on the extubation monitoring tape in order to monitor its attachment to the subject.

[0010] The above-mentioned tube removal monitoring tape may be [3] "the tube removal monitoring tape described in [2] above, wherein the base portion has a base conductive portion at a portion of the second base surface to which the strap attachment portion is attached, the strap portion has a strap conductive portion at the strap attachment portion, the base conductive portion and the strap conductive portion are electrically connected to each other when the strap attachment portion is attached to the second base surface, and the detection portion detects peeling of the strap attachment portion from the second base surface based on the state of electrical conduction between the base conductive portion and the strap conductive portion."

[0011] In this case, the detector can easily detect peeling of the strap portion with a simple configuration based on the state of conduction between the base conductive portion and the strap conductive portion.

[0012] The above-mentioned tube removal monitoring tape may be [4] "the tube removal monitoring tape described in [3] above, wherein the base portion has a base layer, a base conductive portion arranged on the second base surface side of the base layer, and a base surface layer arranged on the second base surface side of the base conductive portion, and an opening is provided in the base surface layer at a location where the strap attachment portion is attached, and the base conductive portion is exposed to the second base surface through the opening."

[0013] In this case, even if the tube removal monitoring tape has a base surface layer provided on the second base surface side of the base portion, the base conductive portion and the strap conductive portion can be electrically connected through the opening in the base surface layer. Also, the installer of the tube removal monitoring tape can easily attach the strap attachment portion to the base portion by using the opening in the base surface layer (the base conductive portion exposed from the opening) as a mark for the attachment position.

[0014] The above-mentioned extubation monitoring tape may be [5] "The extubation monitoring tape described in any one of the above [2] to [4], wherein the strap attachment portion is provided with a strap adhesive layer that is attached to the second base surface."

[0015] In this case, the installer of the tube removal monitoring tape can place the tube between the base and the strap by attaching the strap adhesive layer of the strap attachment portion to the second base surface of the base. Furthermore, the strap is not attached to the tube between the strap attachment portion and the base end of the strap. Therefore, the strap can hold the tube to monitor its placement while allowing some movement of the tube on the base.

[0016] The above extubation monitoring tape may be [6] "The extubation monitoring tape described in [5] above, wherein a base adhesive layer that can be attached to the subject is provided on the first base surface side of the base part, and the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the base adhesive layer is greater than the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the strap adhesive layer."

[0017] In this case, when the tube attached to the subject is pulled, the extubation monitoring tape can make the strap part more likely to peel off rather than the base part peeling off from the subject, which allows the extubation monitoring tape to more accurately detect the attachment state of the tube based on whether or not the strap part has peeled off.

[0018] The above extubation monitoring tape may be [7] "the extubation monitoring tape described in [5] above, wherein a base adhesive layer that can be attached to the subject is provided on the first base surface side of the base part, and the size of the base adhesive layer is larger than the size of the strap adhesive layer."

[0019] In this case, when the tube attached to the subject is pulled, the extubation monitoring tape can make the strap part more likely to peel off rather than the base part peeling off from the subject, which allows the extubation monitoring tape to more accurately detect the attachment state of the tube based on whether or not the strap part has peeled off.

[0020] The above-mentioned extubation monitoring tape may be [8] "an extubation monitoring tape according to any one of the above-mentioned [1] to [7], wherein the output unit has an alarm unit that outputs light or sound based on the detection result, or a communication unit that outputs the detection result to an external device by wired communication or wireless communication."

[0021] In this case, the tube removal monitoring tape can notify the monitor or the like of the tube attachment status using the notification unit or communication unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the attachment status of a tube attached to a subject can be easily monitored. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0023] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the extubation monitoring tape according to the embodiment is used. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a top view of the extubation monitoring tape of FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the base portion of FIG. [Figure 4] 4 is an exploded perspective view of the strap portion of FIG. 1. FIG. [Figure 5] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the sensor unit in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the extubation monitoring tape 1 monitors the attachment state of a tube T attached to a patient (subject) S. The tube T may be a tube inserted into the body of the patient S through the nose, mouth, etc. The tube T may be a catheter inserted into each organ of the patient, such as a central venous catheter inserted into a vein of the patient S. The type of tube T is not limited as long as it is a tube that can be attached to the patient S. Attaching the tube T to the patient includes inserting the tube T into the body of the patient S, and attaching the tube to the patient S by inserting a needle provided at the end of the tube T into a blood vessel or the like of the patient. The tube T may be attached to the patient S in various ways.

[0026] The monitoring of the tube T performed by the extubation monitoring tape 1 includes detecting whether the tube T has fallen off (pulled out) from the patient S, the possibility of the tube T falling off, whether the tube T has been subjected to external force, and the possibility that the attachment state has changed. The extubation monitoring tape 1 is attached to the patient S when in use. The extubation monitoring tape 1 may be attached directly to the skin of the patient S, or to the patient S's clothing, or to a bandage or the like wrapped around the patient S. In this way, the extubation monitoring tape 1 can be attached directly or indirectly to the patient S when in use. The target person for wearing the tube T, whose attachment state is monitored by the extubation monitoring tape 1, is not limited to the patient S. The target person for wearing the tube T, whose attachment state is monitored by the extubation monitoring tape 1, includes people other than the patient S and animals other than humans.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the extubation monitoring tape 1 includes a base portion 10, a strap portion 20, and a sensor portion 30. The base portion 10 is attached to the patient S. The base portion 10 has a generally rectangular shape with short sides and long sides. The base portion 10 is flexible. The base portion 10 has a first base surface F1 (see Figure 3) that is attached to the patient S, and a second base surface F2 opposite to the first base surface F1.

[0028] The strap portion 20 has a strip-like shape that is thinner than the base portion 10. The strap portion 20 is flexible. A strap base end 20a, which is the base end of the strap portion 20, is connected (fixed) to the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. A strap attachment portion 23b, which is provided at the tip of the strap portion 20, is attached to the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10 when the extubation monitoring tape 1 is in use. The strap portion 20 sandwiches the tube T between itself and the base portion 10 on the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. Here, sandwiching (clamping) the tube T between the strap portion 20 and the base portion 10 means that the tube T is present between the base portion 10 and the strap portion 20.

[0029] The sensor unit 30 detects peeling of the strap unit 20 (strap attachment portion 23b) from the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 and outputs the detection result. Here, for example, when force is applied to the tube T, for example when the patient S pulls on the tube T, the force is applied to the strap unit 20. Then, the strap attachment portion 23b attached to the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 peels off from the base unit 10. The sensor unit 30 detects such peeling of the strap unit 20 (presence or absence of peeling). Furthermore, when the strap unit 20 peels off, it can be said that the attachment state of the tube T has changed. In other words, the sensor unit 30 can detect a change in the attachment state of the tube T based on whether or not the strap unit 20 has peeled off.

[0030] 3, the base portion 10 has a base layer 11, a base conductive portion 12, and a base surface layer 13. The base layer 11 and the base surface layer 13 each have a substantially rectangular shape having a short side and a long side.

[0031] The base layer 11 is a member that serves as the base of the base portion 10. One longitudinal end of the base layer 11 is provided with a sensor attachment portion 11a to which the sensor portion 30 is attached. A base adhesive layer 14 for attaching the base portion 10 to the patient S is provided on the surface of the base layer 11 on the first base surface F1 side.

[0032] The base conductive portion 12 is disposed closer to the second base surface F2 than the base layer 11. The base conductive portion 12 is conductive. For example, the base conductive portion 12 may be a flexible substrate, a copper foil tape, or the like. The configuration of the base conductive portion 12 is not limited as long as it is conductive. As an example, the base conductive portion 12 has a narrow portion 12a and a wide portion 12b that is wider than the narrow portion 12a. The wide portion 12b is located at the other end of the base layer 11 in the longitudinal direction (the end opposite to the side where the sensor mounting portion 11a is provided). The narrow portion 12a extends from the wide portion 12b toward the sensor mounting portion 11a.

[0033] The base surface layer 13 is disposed closer to the second base surface F2 than the base conductive portion 12. The base surface layer 13 covers the surface of the base layer 11 facing the second base surface F2, sandwiching the base conductive portion 12 therebetween. However, the base surface layer 13 does not cover the sensor attachment portion 11a of the base layer 11. In this manner, the base conductive portion 12 is disposed between the base layer 11 and the base surface layer 13. The base surface layer 13 has an opening 13a at a location where the strap attachment portion 23b of the strap portion 20 is attached (see FIG. 1). The wide portion 12b of the base conductive portion 12 is exposed to the second base surface F2 through the opening 13a of the base surface layer 13. In other words, the base portion 10 has the base conductive portion 12 (wide portion 12b) at a portion of the second base surface F2 where the strap attachment portion 23b is attached.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4 , the strap portion 20 includes a strap base layer 21, a strap conductive portion 22, and a strap surface layer 23. The strap base layer 21, the strap conductive portion 22, and the strap surface layer 23 are shaped like a long, narrow strip. The strap conductive portion 22 is disposed between the strap base layer 21 and the strap surface layer 23. The strap base end 20a is connected to the base portion 10 so that the strap base layer 21 faces the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. The strap portion 20 is disposed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 10. The strap base end 20a is connected to one longitudinal end of the base portion 10 (the end on the side where the sensor attachment portion 11a is provided). Note that the strap base end 20a may be attached to the sensor portion 30 and connected to the base portion 10 via the sensor portion 30.

[0035] The strap base layer 21 is the portion that comes into contact with the tube T when the tube extubation monitoring tape 1 is in use. The strap conductive portion 22 is conductive. For example, the strap conductive portion 22 may be a flexible substrate, a copper foil tape, or the like. The configuration of the strap conductive portion 22 is not limited as long as it is conductive.

[0036] The strap surface layer 23 has a main body portion 23a and a strap attachment portion 23b. The strap attachment portion 23b is provided on the tip side of the strap portion 20. The main body portion 23a extends from the strap attachment portion 23b toward the strap base end portion 20a. In this embodiment, as an example, the width of the strap attachment portion 23b is wider than the width of the main body portion 23a.

[0037] The strap conductive parts 22 extend from within the strap attachment part 23b across the main body part 23a. That is, the strap conductive parts 22 extend from the tip end of the strap part 20 to the base end of the strap part 20. In this manner, the strap part 20 has the strap conductive parts 22 in the strap attachment part 23b. The strap conductive parts 22 may be narrower than the main body part 23a and the strap base layer 21.

[0038] The strap base layer 21 covers the surface of the main body 23a facing the strap conductive part 22, sandwiching the strap conductive part 22 therebetween. The strap base layer 21 does not cover the strap attachment part 23b. That is, the strap conductive part 22 is exposed at the strap attachment part 23b. The exposed part of the strap conductive part 22 is attached to the strap attachment part 23b.

[0039] A strap adhesive layer 24 (see FIG. 2) is provided on the surface of the strap attachment portion 23b facing the strap base layer 21. The strap adhesive layer 24 is attached to the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. In FIG. 2, the strap portion 20 is shown turned up to show the back side of the strap attachment portion 23b. The portion of the strap conductive portion 22 facing the strap attachment portion 23b may be attached and fixed to the strap adhesive layer 24.

[0040] The strap attachment portion 23b is attached to the base conductive portion 12 exposed on the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10 (the portion of the base conductive portion 12 exposed from the opening 13a of the base surface layer 13) by the strap adhesive layer 24. With the strap attachment portion 23b attached to the base conductive portion 12 (the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10), the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 are electrically connected to each other.

[0041] The adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the base adhesive layer 14 may be greater than the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the strap adhesive layer 24. The adhesive strength here may be determined, for example, using the adhesive strength to a stainless steel plate. In other words, when force is applied to the strap portion 20 due to, for example, the tube T being pulled while using the extubation monitoring tape 1, the strap attachment portion 23b will peel off from the base portion 10, rather than the base portion 10 peeling off from the patient S.

[0042] Furthermore, the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the base adhesive layer 14 and the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the strap adhesive layer 24 may be the same or approximately the same. In this embodiment, the size of the base adhesive layer 14 is larger than the size of the strap adhesive layer 24. Therefore, if force is applied to the strap portion 20, for example, by pulling on the tube T while using the extubation monitoring tape 1, the strap attachment portion 23b will peel off from the base portion 10, rather than the base portion 10 peeling off from the patient S.

[0043] In this way, the adhesive strength, size, etc. may be adjusted so that when force is applied to the strap portion 20 by the tube T, the base portion 10 is not peeled off, but the strap attachment portion 23b peels off from the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. The tube extubation monitoring tape 1 is configured so that the strap portion 20 holds the tube T to a certain extent, and the strap attachment portion 23b peels off from the base portion 10 when force is applied to the tube T.

[0044] 1 and 2, the opening 13a provided in the base surface layer 13 is larger than the strap attachment portion 23b of the strap portion 20. The opening 13a has a generally rectangular shape with its long sides aligned in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 10. Therefore, the portion of the base conductive portion 12 exposed on the second base surface F2 (the portion exposed through the opening 13a) extends long along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 10.

[0045] For example, the attachment position of the strap attachment portion 23b to the base portion 10 varies depending on the thickness of the tube T. For example, as the thickness of the tube T increases, the curve of the strap portion 20 increases, and the attachment position of the strap attachment portion 23b becomes closer to the strap base end 20a. In other words, the attachment position of the strap attachment portion 23b varies in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 10 depending on the thickness of the tube T. In this embodiment, the portion of the base conductive portion 12 that is exposed on the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10 extends long along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 10. Therefore, even if the attachment position of the strap attachment portion 23b changes, the strap attachment portion 23b can be attached to the base conductive portion 12 (the portion exposed from the opening 13a).

[0046] 2 and 3, the sensor unit 30 is attached to the sensor attachment portion 11a of the base layer 11. As shown in Fig. 5, the sensor unit 30 has a detection unit 31, a notification unit (output unit) 32, and a communication unit (output unit) 33. The notification unit 32 and the communication unit 33 output the detection result of the detection unit 31. Note that the sensor unit 30 may be configured to have only either the notification unit 32 or the communication unit 33.

[0047] The detection unit 31 is an electronic control unit having, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The detection unit 31 realizes various functions by, for example, loading a program recorded in the ROM into the RAM and executing the program loaded into the RAM with the CPU. However, the configuration of the detection unit 31 is not particularly limited.

[0048] The detection unit 31 detects peeling of the strap attachment portion 23b from the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 (the base conductive portion 12 exposed from the opening 13a). In this embodiment, the detection unit 31 is electrically connected to the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22. The detection unit 31 detects peeling of the strap attachment portion 23b from the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 based on the state of conduction between the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22. Here, when conduction between the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 is possible, the detection unit 31 can detect that the strap attachment portion 23b is attached to the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10. When conduction between the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 is not possible, the detection unit 31 can detect that the strap attachment portion 23b is peeled from the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10.

[0049] The notification unit 32 outputs light or sound based on the detection result of the detection unit 31. The notification unit 32 may include a light-emitting element such as an LED, a display device, etc. to output light. The notification unit 32 may include a sound output device such as a speaker to output sound. When the detection unit 31 detects that the strap attachment portion 23b has peeled off, the notification unit 32 changes the output mode of the light or sound. For example, when peeling of the strap attachment portion 23b is detected, the notification unit 32 may cause the light-emitting element to emit light or output sound.

[0050] The communication unit 33 outputs the detection result of the detection unit 31 to an external device via wired communication or wireless communication. For example, the communication unit 33 may be configured with a communication device that performs wireless communication via Bluetooth (registered trademark). There are no limitations on the type of communication method used by the communication unit 33. Furthermore, the external device to which the detection result is output may be, for example, a mobile terminal carried by a nurse, a device that manages or monitors the condition of patient S, or the like. There are no limitations on the type of external device, etc.

[0051] Next, an example of a method of using the extubation monitoring tape 1 will be described. First, the base adhesive layer 14 of the base unit 10 is attached to the skin or the like of the patient S to which the tube T is attached. At this time, the base unit 10 is attached so that the tube T and the strap unit 20 intersect (are perpendicular). Then, the strap attachment unit 23b is attached to the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 (the base conductive unit 12 exposed from the opening 13a) so that the tube T is sandwiched between the base unit 10 and the strap unit 20. This electrically connects the base conductive unit 12 and the strap conductive unit 22 to each other. When the extubation monitoring tape 1 is in use, the detection unit 31 monitors the state of conduction between the base conductive unit 12 and the strap conductive unit 22 and detects whether the strap attachment unit 23b has peeled off.

[0052] As described above, in this extubation monitoring tape 1, the tube T is sandwiched and held between the base portion 10 and the strap portion 20 on the base portion 10 attached to the patient S. If force is applied to the tube T, for example, if the subject unintentionally touches the tube T, the strap attachment portion 23b will peel off from the base portion 10. The detection unit 31 detects this peeling of the strap attachment portion 23b. In other words, the detection unit 31 can detect that force is applied to the tube T attached to the patient S and that the state of the tube T has changed (or that there is a possibility of a change). In this way, with the extubation monitoring tape 1, the attachment state of the tube T attached to the patient S can be easily monitored based on the outputs of the notification unit 32 and the communication unit 33.

[0053] The strap base end 20a of the strap unit 20 is connected to the base unit 10, and the strap attachment portion 23b on the tip side is attached to the base unit 10. In this case, the extubation monitoring tape 1 can easily hold the tube T by simply attaching the strap attachment portion 23b to the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 so that the tube T is sandwiched between the base unit 10 and the strap attachment portion 23b. This allows the tube T to be easily set on the extubation monitoring tape 1 in order to monitor its attachment to the patient S.

[0054] The base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 are each electrically connected to the detection portion 31. This allows the detection portion 31 to easily detect peeling of the strap portion 20 (strap attachment portion 23b) based on the state of conduction between the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 with a simple configuration.

[0055] In the base unit 10, the base conductive portion 12 is exposed on the second base surface F2 of the base unit 10 through the opening 13a in the base surface layer 13. In this case, even if the base surface layer 13 is provided on the second base surface F2 side of the base unit 10, the tube removal monitoring tape 1 can electrically connect the base conductive portion 12 and the strap conductive portion 22 through the opening 13a in the base surface layer 13. Furthermore, the installer of the tube removal monitoring tape 1 can easily attach the strap attachment portion 23b to the base unit 10 by using the opening 13a in the base surface layer 13 (the portion of the base conductive portion 12 exposed from the opening 13a) as a mark for the attachment position.

[0056] The strap attachment portion 23b of the strap portion 20 is provided with a strap adhesive layer 24. In this case, the installer of the tube extubation monitoring tape 1 can install the tube T between the base portion 10 and the strap portion 20 by attaching the strap adhesive layer 24 of the strap attachment portion 23b to the second base surface F2 of the base portion 10. Furthermore, the strap portion 20 is not attached to the tube T between the strap attachment portion 23b and the strap base end portion 20a. Therefore, the strap portion 20 can hold the tube T to monitor its attachment state while allowing some movement of the tube T on the base portion 10.

[0057] The adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the base adhesive layer 14 provided on the base portion 10 may be greater than the adhesive strength per unit area of ​​the strap adhesive layer 24 provided on the strap attachment portion 23b of the strap portion 20. In this case, in the extubation monitoring tape 1, when the tube T attached to the patient S is pulled, the strap attachment portion 23b can be made to peel easily rather than the base portion 10 peeling off from the patient S. This allows the extubation monitoring tape 1 to more accurately detect the attachment state of the tube T based on whether or not the strap portion 20 has peeled off.

[0058] The size of the base adhesive layer 14 provided on the base portion 10 is larger than the size of the strap adhesive layer 24 provided on the strap attachment portion 23b of the strap portion 20. In this case, in the extubation monitoring tape 1, when the tube T attached to the patient S is pulled, the strap attachment portion 23b can be made to peel easily rather than the base portion 10 peeling off from the patient S. This allows the extubation monitoring tape 1 to more accurately detect the attachment state of the tube T based on whether or not the strap portion 20 has peeled off.

[0059] The tube removal monitoring tape 1 has a notification unit 32 and a communication unit 33 as output units that output the detection results of the detection unit 31. In this case, the tube removal monitoring tape 1 can use the notification unit 32 and the communication unit 33 to notify the monitor or the like of the attachment state of the tube T.

[0060] Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, the shapes of the components of the extubation monitoring tape 1 are not limited to those described above. For example, the strap surface layer 23 has a narrow main body portion 23a and a wide strap attachment portion 23b. This shape is not limited to this, and the strap surface layer may have a constant width without having a wide portion at the tip, as in the strap attachment portion 23b. The shape of the opening 13a in the base surface layer 13 is also not limited to a substantially rectangular shape having long and short sides. The shape of the base portion 10 is also not limited to a substantially rectangular shape having long and short sides. [Explanation of symbols]
