Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, when replacing the disposable diaper after excretion, the highly viscous body fluid such as soft stools is not always completely absorbed by the absorber, and there are cases where the body fluid adheres to the body of the care recipient.

[0006] In that case, it is necessary for caregivers, etc. to remove and clean the body fluid adhering to the body of the care recipient, which has been a great burden on caregivers, etc.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] Therefore, in the present invention according to claim 1, a body fluid suction device for aspirating bodily fluids such as loose stools and sputum discharged from the body with a suction tube, and separating, collecting, and disposing of the aspirated bodily fluids in a collection container, wherein a collection container is connected to the suction hose of the suction machine, an absorbent material is detachably loaded onto the inner circumferential surface and bottom surface of the collection container, the tip end of the suction tube is attached to the collection container, and the base end of the suction tube is positioned inside the absorbent material. The middle section of the suction tube was sealed with the upper opening of the absorbent. I decided to do that.

[0008] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, A space is formed in the upper inner part of the collection container. The tip of the suction hose was connected to the top of the collection container, the tip of the suction tube was attached to the top of the collection container, and the base end of the suction tube was positioned on the lower inside of the absorbent material.

[0009] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 3, the collection container is given a shape that extends vertically, a connecting body is provided to hold the collection container vertically, and a handle is provided on the connecting body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention provides the following effects.

[0011] In other words, the present invention provides a bodily fluid suction device for aspirating bodily fluids such as loose stools and sputum using a suction tube, and separating, collecting, and disposing of the aspirated bodily fluids in a collection container. The collection container is connected to the suction hose of the suction machine, an absorbent material is detachably loaded onto the inner surface and bottom surface of the collection container, the tip of the suction tube is attached to the collection container, and the base end of the suction tube is positioned inside the absorbent material.

[0012] In particular, if the tip of the suction hose is connected to the top of the collection container, the tip of the suction tube is attached to the top of the collection container, and the base end of the suction tube is positioned on the lower inside of the absorbent material, the aspirated bodily fluid can be absorbed effectively by the absorbent material.

[0013] Furthermore, if the collection container is given a shape that extends vertically, and a connecting body is provided to hold the collection container vertically, and a handle is provided on the connecting body, it is possible to prevent the aspirated bodily fluids from flowing back. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] An explanatory diagram showing a body fluid aspiration device according to the present invention. [Figure 2] Plan view (a), side view (b), and front view (c) of the collection container. [Figure 3] Side view (a), top view (b). [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] The specific configuration of the bodily fluid suction device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the body fluid suction device 1 has a collection container 4 connected to the tip of a suction hose 3 provided on the suction machine 2, and a suction tube 5 is provided on the collection container 4. The base end of the suction hose 3 is detachably attached to a safety bottle 6 provided on the suction machine 2 for preventing backflow (preventing the inflow of body fluids).

[0017] The suction device 2 only needs to be structured to be able to suction from the suction hose 3, and it just needs to have enough suction power to suction bodily fluids (highly viscous substances such as loose stool or phlegm) that are to be suctioned.

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the collection container 4 has a shape that extends vertically overall. A lid 8 is detachably and airtightly attached to the top of a hollow cylindrical body 7 that extends vertically, and a gripping body 9 is detachably attached to the outer circumference of the body 7.

[0019] The main body 7 detachably houses an absorbent material 10 that can absorb bodily fluids and is also breathable.

[0020] The absorber 10 has a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end, and is detachably loaded on the inner peripheral surface and the bottom surface of the main body 7 of the collection container 4.

[0021] Note that the absorber 10 only needs to be able to absorb body fluid and have air permeability as a whole, and may have a structure in which an absorbent that does not have air permeability is partially provided on a cloth or paper having air permeability. Also, as the absorber 10, commercially available disposable diapers or the like can be used. In that case, by folding and inserting it inside the main body 7 to form an opening at the upper end, it can be formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper end. Furthermore, in the body fluid suction device 1, although a space is formed in the upper inner part of the collection container 4, the absorber 10 may be loaded up to the upper inner part of the collection container 4.

[0022] The lid 8 forms a hose port 11 penetrating inside and outside at the rear part, and a hose joint 12 is attached to the hose port 11. The tip of the suction hose 3 is detachably connected to the hose joint 12.

[0023] Also, the lid 8 forms a suction port 13 penetrating inside and outside at the front part (the position facing the hose port 11), and the suction tube 5 is detachably inserted into the suction port 13.

[0024] The suction tube 5 is inserted into the suction port 13 up to the middle part, the tip side is positioned outside the collection container 4, and the base end side is positioned at the lower inner part (bottom part) inside the absorber 10 inside the collection container 4. The middle part of the suction tube 5 is blocked by the opening at the upper end of the absorber 10 on the outer peripheral surface. Also, the base end part of the suction tube 5 has a gap opened from the inside of the absorber 10 around it.

[0025] In this way, in the collection container 4, by blocking the middle part of the suction tube 5 with the opening at the upper part of the bottomed cylindrical absorber 10, when suction is performed by the suction machine 2, the pressure on the outer side (outer peripheral side) is lower than that on the inner side (inner peripheral side) of the absorber 10 and is in a negative pressure state.

[0026] The gripping body 9 is detachably attached to the main body 7 and has the upper end of a handle 15 that extends vertically attached to the rear of a horizontal annular connecting body 14 that can hold the main body 7 (collection container 4) vertically.

[0027] The gripping body 9 is designed to hold the collection container 4 vertically with the connecting body 14 by gripping the handle 15. The gripping body 9 may also be equipped with an operating switch for operating the on / off valves on the suction device 2 and suction hose 3, allowing the suction to be started and stopped using the operating switch.

[0028] The body fluid suction device 1 is configured as described above, and by driving the suction machine 2, body fluid can be suctioned from the tip of the suction tube 5 installed in the collection container 4. The suctioned body fluid is then absorbed into the absorbent body 10 inside the collection container 4, separating it from the air sucked up by the suction machine 2 and collecting it in the absorbent body 10. After that, the absorbent body 10 can be removed from the collection container 4 and the absorbent body fluid absorbed by the absorbent body 10 can be disposed of together with the absorbent body 10. This eliminates the need for nurses and caregivers to remove and clean body fluids adhering to the body of the person requiring care, significantly reducing the burden on nurses and caregivers.

[0029] As described above, the bodily fluid suction device 1 is configured to suction bodily fluids such as loose stools and sputum discharged from the body using a suction tube 5, and to separate and collect the suctioned bodily fluids in a collection container 4 for disposal. The collection container 4 is connected to the suction hose 3 of the suction machine 2, and an absorbent body 10 is detachably loaded onto the inner surface and bottom surface of the collection container 4. The tip end of the suction tube 5 is attached to the collection container 4, and the base end of the suction tube 5 is positioned inside the absorbent body 10.

[0030] Therefore, in the body fluid aspirator 1 with the above configuration, the body fluid is aspirated by the suction hose 3 of the suction machine 2 on the outside of the absorbent body 10, while the proximal end of the suction tube 5 is located inside the absorbent body 10. This allows the aspirated body fluid to be drawn from the inside to the outside of the absorbent body 10, making it easy to aspirate the body fluid and to easily dispose of the body fluid together with the absorbent body 10.

[0031] Furthermore, the bodily fluid suction device 1 is configured such that the tip of the suction hose 3 is connected to the top of the collection container 4, the tip of the suction tube 5 is attached to the top of the collection container 4, and the base end of the suction tube 5 is positioned on the lower inside of the absorbent body 10.

[0032] Therefore, in the bodily fluid suction device 1 with the above configuration, the distance between the tip of the suction hose 3 and the base of the suction tube 5 inside the collection container 4 can be increased, preventing the aspirated bodily fluid from being sucked into the suction hose 3 and allowing the bodily fluid to be absorbed effectively by the absorbent body 10.

[0033] Furthermore, the bodily fluid suction device 1 has a shape in which the collection container 4 is extended in the vertical direction, and is provided with a connecting body 14 that holds the collection container 4 vertically, and a handle 15 is provided on the connecting body 14.

[0034] Therefore, with the above configuration of the body fluid suction device 1, the collection container 4 can be held stably and vertically, preventing the aspirated body fluid from flowing back, thus improving the usability of the body fluid suction device 1. [Explanation of symbols]
