Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, since the main body portion and the front hanging portion of the pants of Patent Document 1 are made of non-woven fabric, the price of each component is high, and as a result, the cost of the pants is high.

[0005] Also, for example, feces, urine, and blood may come out from the patient during examinations or treatments. However, with the pants of Patent Document 1, since these are received by non-woven fabric, there is a risk of soaking and leakage. Feces, urine, blood, etc. leaked from the pants adhere to the floor surface and equipment, soiling the floor surface and equipment.

[0006] Furthermore, for example, during a prostate cancer examination, an examination instrument may be inserted into the rectum through the anus, and when this instrument is removed, stool may be expelled forcefully. In the pants described in Patent Document 1, the front flap is lifted up during the examination, which exposes a wide area of ​​the genitals. As a result, stool expelled when the examination instrument is removed is likely to splatter onto medical personnel and equipment, making subsequent cleaning a significant burden.

[0007] This disclosure is made in view of the above, and its purpose is to provide stain-resistant pants that are low cost and suppress leakage and splashing of feces, urine, and blood during examinations and treatments. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To achieve the above objective, one aspect of this disclosure may be based on a soil-resistant pair of pants worn by a patient during an examination or treatment of the genital area of ​​the human body.

[0009] The stain-resistant pants consist of a pant body comprising a front portion made of a resin sheet that covers at least the patient's abdomen to the upper front of the thighs and a rear portion made of a resin sheet that covers at least the patient's waist to the upper rear of the thighs, and a pocket portion made of a resin sheet that is integrally formed at the bottom of the pant body and extends downward, with at least the front of the pocket portion made of a transparent resin sheet, and the inside of the pant body and the inside of the pocket portion being in communication.

[0010] Since the pant body (front and back sections) and the bag section that make up the stain-resistant pants are each made of resin sheets, the cost of each component is lower compared to conventional non-woven fabric products, resulting in lower overall costs for stain-resistant pants.

[0011] Furthermore, when wearing the stain-resistant pants, the pouch portion is positioned to extend downward from the main body of the pants. Since at least the front portion of this pouch is made of a transparent resin sheet, a hole of the minimum necessary size to match the examination or treatment instrument being used can be made on-site, and the examination or treatment instrument can be inserted into the pouch through this hole to perform examinations or treatments of the genital area.

[0012] Furthermore, if feces, urine, or blood are released from the patient during examination or treatment, they can be collected in the bag section that covers the genitals, anus, and surrounding areas from below. In addition, since both the pants and the bag section are made of resin sheets, they will not soak through and leak like nonwoven fabrics, and the contents can be contained within the stain-resistant pants.

[0013] Furthermore, even if stool is forcefully expelled from the patient, such as during a prostate cancer examination, only the minimum necessary holes are made in the bag, so there is no large opening as in conventional cases, and therefore the splashing of forcefully expelled stool to the outside is suppressed.

[0014] The aforementioned front member is made of a colored, opaque resin sheet. That is, since the front member covers the abdomen and the upper front of the thighs, the fact that this front member is made of a colored, opaque resin sheet prevents the patient's genitals from being seen from the front when wearing the stain-resistant pants. Thus, the stain-resistant pants can be made with consideration for the patient's sense of modesty.

[0015] The front of the aforementioned pouch is made of a transparent resin sheet. With this configuration, for example, when the patient is standing, the pouch extends downward from the lower edge of the front member of the pants body, so even though the front of the pouch is transparent, the genitals are difficult to see. On the other hand, during examinations or treatments, medical personnel can see the genitals through the transparent pouch, so they can perform procedures accurately.

[0016] The upper edge portion located on the front side of the bag portion can be welded in a state of being disposed outside the lower edge portion of the front side member of the pants body. The upper edge portion located on the rear side of the bag portion can be welded in a state of being disposed outside the lower edge portion of the rear side member of the pants body. According to this configuration, when putting on the antifouling pants from the top, the foot will not catch on the upper edge portion of the bag portion, and the antifouling pants can be made easy to put on. Also, the antifouling pants can have a good wearing feeling.

[0017] In another aspect of the present disclosure, it is also possible to assume the use method of the antifouling pants worn by a patient during the inspection or treatment of the genital area. The use method of the antifouling pants is, after having the patient wear the antifouling pants, before the inspection or treatment of the genital area, make a hole for inserting an inspection instrument or a treatment instrument in the bag portion. Thereby, since a hole of the minimum necessary size can be made, scattering of feces and the like can be suppressed.

Effect of the Invention

[0018] As described above, the antifouling pants according to the present disclosure are low-cost and can suppress leakage and scattering of feces, urine, and blood that occur during the inspection or treatment of the patient's genital area.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note 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. For example, the relative sizes and positional relationships of the respective members shown in the drawings are for explaining one embodiment and do not limit the present invention.

[0021] FIG. 1A is a front view of the antifouling pants 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing the state of wearing the antifouling pants 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The antifouling pants 1 are worn by a patient during inspection or treatment of the genital area of the human body. In this specification, the "genital area" includes, in addition to the genitals, organs existing around the genitals, etc., and for example, the prostate, anus, rectum, etc. are also included in the genital area. Examples of genital area inspections include, for example, prostate cancer inspections. When performing a prostate cancer inspection, it may be necessary to insert an inspection instrument from the anus into the rectum. In this case, the antifouling pants 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention are worn by the patient. Also, when performing treatment on the genital area, the antifouling pants 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be worn by the patient. There are various inspection instruments and treatment instruments, and they are not particularly limited. Also, when a medical staff member performs palpation or the like on the genital area, the antifouling pants 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be worn by the patient.

[0022] During examinations or treatments, depending on the type and nature of the procedure, feces, urine, and blood may be discharged from the patient's genitals or anus. To prevent the feces, urine, and blood discharged from patient 100 from splashing onto surrounding examination equipment, the floor, or medical personnel, patient 100 will be made to wear soil-proof pants 1. Alternatively, the feces, urine, and blood discharged from patient 100 can be collected in soil-proof pants 1 and prevented from leaking out of the pants 1.

[0023] In this description, the front, back, left, and right sides of the stain-resistant pants 1 are defined relative to the patient wearing the pants 1. That is, the side located in front of the patient is called the front of the stain-resistant pants 1, the side located behind the patient is called the back of the stain-resistant pants 1, the side located to the right of the patient is called the right side of the stain-resistant pants 1, and the side located to the left of the patient is called the left side of the stain-resistant pants 1. This definition of direction is the same as the definition of clothing, etc., and is not a special definition. Furthermore, "integrated" refers to the integration of components by welding, and the continuous integral formation (molding) of components without welding.

[0024] The stain-resistant pants 1 comprises a pants body 1A consisting of a front member (front part) 2 and a rear member (rear part) 3, and a pocket 4. The upper edge of the pocket 4 is integrally formed by welding the lower edges of the front member 2 and rear member 3 of the pants body 1A. The front member 2 is a member that covers at least the front upper part of the patient 100's abdomen 101 to the front lower part of the thigh 102. The front member 2 may also be shaped to cover the patient 100's abdomen 101 to the front lower part of the thigh 102. The rear member 3 is a member that covers at least the patient 100's waist (not shown) to the rear upper part of the thigh 102. The rear member 3 may also be shaped to cover the patient 100's abdomen 101 to the rear lower part of the thigh 102.

[0025] The front member 2 and the rear member 3 are made of resin sheets of the same size and shape. Figure 3 is a front view of only the front member 2. The left-right dimension of the front member 2 is set to be longer than the up-down dimension. The left-right dimension of the front member 2 can be set to, for example, about 100 cm, and the up-down dimension of the front member 2 can be set to, for example, about 50 cm. The left-right and up-down dimensions of the front member 2 can be set according to the physique of the patient 100 who will wear them, and are not limited to the dimensions described above. For example, S-size stain-resistant pants 1 for small patients 100, M-size stain-resistant pants 1 for patients 100 of standard size, and L-size stain-resistant pants 1 for large patients 100 may be prepared, or a free-size stain-resistant pants 1 that can accommodate patients 100 of all sizes may be prepared.

[0026] The upper edge 2a of the front member 2 extends in the left-right direction. The upper edge 2a of the front member 2 is the part that is located on the abdomen 101 of the patient 100 when the stain-resistant pants 1 are worn. The upper left and right side edges 2b, 2b of the front member 2 extend diagonally downward from both ends of the upper edge 2a, moving away from each other. The lower left and right side edges 2c, 2c of the front member 2 extend downward from the lower ends of the upper left and right side edges 2b, 2b, moving towards each other. Since the upper left and right side edges 2b, 2b extend away from each other, and the lower left and right side edges 2c, 2c extend towards each other, the left-right dimension of the front member 2 is longest at approximately the center in the vertical direction, becomes shorter as it approaches the upper edge 2a, and becomes shorter as it approaches the lower edge 2d.

[0027] The lower edge 2d of the front member 2 extends in the left-right direction, substantially parallel to the upper edge 2a. In this embodiment, the left-right dimension of the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 before welding is set to be shorter than the left-right dimension of the upper edge 2a. However, this is not limited to this, and the left-right dimensions of the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 and the left-right dimensions of the upper edge 2a may be the same, or the left-right dimension of the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 may be longer than the left-right dimension of the upper edge 2a.

[0028] Although only partially shown in Figures 1A and 2, the rear member 3 is the same material as the front member 2, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. Like the front member 2, the rear member 3 also has an upper edge, upper left and right side edges, lower left and right side edges 3c, and a lower edge. As will be described later, the rear member 3 is welded to the upper left and right side edges 2b of the front member 2 to form the pant body 1A.

[0029] The resin sheets constituting the front member 2 and the rear member 3 are weldable, flexible, foldable, and impermeable to liquids. Such resin sheets are not limited to any particular type, but examples include polyethylene sheets. The thickness of the resin sheets constituting the front member 2 and the rear member 3 is not particularly limited, but for strength reasons, it is preferable to have a thickness of, for example, 0.03 mm or more, or 0.04 mm or more. Using polyethylene sheets of this thickness makes the stain-resistant pants 1 less likely to tear when the patient 100 wears or uses them.

[0030] The front member 2 and the rear member 3 are made of colored, opaque resin sheets. In other words, since the front member 2 covers the front upper part of the patient 100's abdomen 101 and thigh 102, if this front member 2 is made of a colored, opaque resin sheet, the patient 100's genitals will not be visible from the front when wearing the stain-resistant pants 1. Similarly, since the rear member 3 covers the rear upper part of the thigh 102 from the waist, if this rear member 3 is made of a colored, opaque resin sheet, the patient 100's genitals will not be visible from the rear when wearing the stain-resistant pants 1. Thus, the stain-resistant pants 1 can be made with consideration for the patient's sense of modesty. Note that only the portion of the front member 2 corresponding to the genitals may be opaque.

[0031] The resin sheets constituting the front member 2 and the rear member 3 are dark, opaque colors such as purple, black, navy blue, brown, blue, and green. This makes it difficult to see the patient's genitals even in brightly lit examination rooms or treatment rooms.

[0032] The upper left and right side edges 2b of the front member 2 and the upper left and right side edges of the rear member 3 are welded together. The width of the welded portion (welding width) can be, for example, 5 mm or more. The welded portion is continuous, preventing liquid from leaking from the welded portion. The same applies to the welded portion of the bag portion 4, which will be described later.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper left and right side edges 2b of the front member 2 and the upper left and right side edges of the rear member 3 are welded together in an overlapping state in the thickness direction, and the edges of the front member 2 and rear member 3 are located on the outside of the stain-resistant pants 1. As a result, the edges of the front member 2 and rear member 3 do not come into contact with the skin of the patient 100 while wearing them, minimizing discomfort.

[0034] On the other hand, the upper edge 2a of the front member 2 and the upper edge of the rear member 3 are not welded together, the lower left and right side edges 2c of the front member 2 and the lower left and right side edges 2c of the rear member 3 are not welded together, and the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 and the lower edge of the rear member 3 are not welded together.

[0035] The upper edge 2a of the front member 2 and the upper edge of the rear member 3 are folded downward and then welded together, and a rubber band 5 is arranged inside them in a ring shape so as to wrap around the waist of the patient 100. By arranging this rubber band 5, the circumference of the upper end of the stain-resistant pants 1 can be made smaller than the waist circumference of the patient 100 who is expected to wear them. When wearing the pants, the rubber band 5 is stretched so that the circumference of the upper end of the stain-resistant pants 1 is longer, allowing the pants to be put on, and once the pants are on, the tightening force of the rubber band 5 prevents the pants from slipping down from the abdomen 101.

[0036] The bag portion 4 is made of a resin sheet and is irremovably welded to the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 and the lower edge of the rear member 3 that constitute the pants body 1A, respectively, and extends downward between the thighs 102, 102. Specifically, the bag portion 4 is composed of a front sheet 40 and a rear sheet 41. The front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 are members of the same size and shape. The front sheet 40 has a longer left-right dimension than its up-down dimension. The up-down dimension of the front sheet 40 can be, for example, 20 cm or more. The depth of the bag portion 4 is in the up-down direction. Therefore, by making the up-down dimension of the front sheet 40 20 cm or more, the depth of the bag portion 4 can be, for example, 20 cm or more. With a bag portion 4 of this depth provided in the stain-resistant pants 1, even if there is a large amount of feces, urine, or blood coming out of the patient 100, it can be contained in the bag portion 4 without leakage.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4, the upper edge 40a of the front sheet 40 extends in the left-right direction. The left and right side edges 40b of the front sheet 40 extend downwards and approach each other, with their lower ends being continuous. As a result, the front sheet 40 has a roughly inverted triangular shape.

[0038] Although only partially shown in Figures 1A and 2, the rear sheet 41 is made of the same material as the front sheet 40, so a detailed explanation is omitted. Like the front sheet 40, the rear sheet 41 has a roughly inverted triangular shape with an upper edge and left and right side edges. Note that the shapes of the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 are not limited to those shown.

[0039] The length of the upper edges of the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 in the left-right direction is set to a length that allows the bag portion 4 to cover the genitals, anus, and surrounding areas from below.

[0040] The left and right side edges 40b of the front sheet 40 are welded to the left and right side edges of the rear sheet 41. On the other hand, the upper edge 40a of the front sheet 40 and the upper edge of the rear sheet 41 are not welded to each other. As a result, the bag portion 4 is open only upwards, and this open portion is in communication with the internal space of the pants body 1A, which is composed of the front member 2 and the rear member 3. For example, if the pants body 1A, composed of the front member 2 and the rear member 3, is viewed from above, the inside of the bag portion 4 can be seen.

[0041] Since the left and right edges 40b of the front sheet 40 extend downward so as to approach each other, the left-right dimension of the bag portion 4 gradually shortens downward. In other words, the bag portion 4 is configured such that the left-right dimension of the upper end, which is the open portion of the bag portion 4, is the longest, so that feces, urine, blood, etc. coming out of the patient 100 can easily flow into the bag portion 4.

[0042] The resin sheets constituting the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 are similar to the resin sheet of the pants body 1A in that they are weldable, flexible, foldable, and impermeable to liquids. While not particularly limited, such resin sheets can include the same polyethylene sheets as those used for the front member 2 and the rear member 3. However, the bag portion 4 may be composed of different resin sheets for the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 than those used for the front member 2 and the rear member 3.

[0043] The front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 are made of transparent resin sheets. For example, when the patient 100 is standing, the bag portion 4 extends downward from the lower edge 2d of the front member 2 and the rear member 3, so even if the front sheet 40 of the bag portion 4 is transparent, the genitals are difficult to see. On the other hand, during examination or treatment, medical personnel can see the genitals through the transparent bag portion 4, so that they can perform procedures accurately. Note that both the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 may be made of transparent resin sheets, but at least the sheet through which the medical personnel make the hole 10 for inserting examination or treatment instruments may be transparent, while the sheet without the hole 10 may be opaque.

[0044] The upper edge portion 40a of the front sheet 40, located on the front side of the bag portion 4, is welded to the front member 2 in a state where it is positioned outside the lower edge portion 2d, as shown in Figure 1B. The upper edge portion 40a of the front sheet 40 and the lower edge portion 2d of the front member 2 are welded together in a state where they overlap in the thickness direction. In addition, the upper edge portion 40a of the rear sheet 41, located on the rear side of the bag portion 4, is welded to the rear member 3 in a state where it is positioned outside the lower edge portion of the rear member 3. The upper edge portion 41 of the rear sheet 41 and the lower edge portion of the rear member 3 are welded together in a state where they overlap in the thickness direction. As a result, the upper edge portion 40a of the front sheet 40 and the upper edge portion 41 of the rear sheet 41, which constitute the bag portion 4 that is irremovably attached to the front member 2 and the rear member 3, are both positioned outside the front member 2 and the rear member 3. Therefore, when putting the stain-resistant pants 1 in from the top, the feet will not get caught on the upper edge portion 4, making the stain-resistant pants 1 easy to put on. Furthermore, it can be used to create stain-resistant pants that are comfortable to wear.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1B and 4, the upper edge 40a of the bag portion 4 has a non-welded portion 40d where a predetermined width W1 from the upper edge of the upper edge 40a is not welded to the outside of the lower edge 2d of the front member 2, and a welded portion 40c where a predetermined width W2 below the non-welded portion 40d is welded to the outside of the lower edge 2d. This makes it easier to overlap (set) the front sheet 40 and the front member 2 and the rear sheet 41 and the rear member 3 using a welding jig (not shown) when welding the upper edges 40a of the front sheet 40 and the rear sheet 41 to the outside of the lower edges 2d of the front member 2 and the rear member 3, improving productivity and eliminating the need to make the welding jig highly precise for this setting, thus reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, even if the non-welded portion 40d of the upper edge 40a of the bag portion 4 is not welded to the lower edge 2d of the front member 2, the non-welded portion 40d is located on the outside of the front member 2, so when wearing the stain-resistant pants 1, the feet will not get caught on the non-welded portion 40d, and the wearing comfort is good.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1A, the bag portion 4 is welded to the front member 2 and the rear member 3, but the lower left and right side edges 2c of the front member 2 and the lower left and right side edges 3c of the rear member 3 are not welded together. As a result, a right foot insertion hole 7 for the right foot is formed by the lower right side edge 2c of the front member 2 and the lower right side edge 3c of the rear member 3, and a left foot insertion hole 8 for the left foot is formed by the lower left side edge 2c of the front member 2 and the lower left side edge 3c of the rear member 3. The bag portion 4 is positioned below the space between the right foot insertion hole 7 and the left foot insertion hole 8.

[0047] (How to use stain-resistant pants 1) Next, the method of using the stain-resistant pants 1 configured as described above will be explained. First, as shown in Figure 2, the patient 100 is fitted with the stain-resistant pants 1. Then, as shown in Figure 5, a hole 10 for inserting examination or treatment instruments is made in the optimal location of the bag portion 4, with the minimum necessary size to match the examination or treatment instrument. Depending on the area of ​​the patient being treated or examined, the hole 10 may be made in the front sheet 40 or the rear sheet 41 that constitutes the bag portion 4. The hole 10 may also be formed by making an incision in the front sheet 40 or the rear sheet 41, or by cutting out a part of the front sheet 40 or the rear sheet 41. Multiple holes 10 may be made. The holes 10 may be slit-shaped, circular, or rectangular.

[0048] Subsequently, medical personnel can insert examination instruments or treatment instruments (not shown) into the bag portion 4 through the hole 10. The hole 10 may be pre-punched in the front sheet 40 or the back sheet 41 before the patient 100 puts on the stain-resistant pants 1. In other words, it is possible to make the hole 10 in the bag portion 4 of the stain-resistant pants 1 before the patient 100 puts them on, but it is preferable to make the bag portion out of a transparent sheet so that the hole 10 is made in a location corresponding to the patient's physique and the area to be examined or treated while the patient 100 is wearing the stain-resistant pants 1.

[0049] Furthermore, the pant body 1A and the bag portion 4 can also be formed by blow molding, creating a shape in which the front and rear portions are continuously and integrally formed.

[0050] Figure 6A is a front view showing the processed portion of the material 200 of the stain-resistant pants 1. As shown in Figures 6A and 6B, the material 200 has an opening 200a at the upper edge, and the left edge 200b, right edge 200c, and lower edge 200d are continuously formed as a single bag. That is, the material 200 of the stain-resistant pants 1 in Figure 6A is formed by blow molding continuously as a single piece without welding two members (front member 2 and rear member 3) as in Figure 1A. The material 200 is a transparent resin sheet. Various parts of the material 200 are cut, welded, or fitted with rubber 5. In Figure 6A, 200A is the body of the pants, and 200B is the bag portion. In the stain-resistant pants 1 molded from the material 200 in Figure 6A, in order to prevent the patient's body from being seen, an opaque film or the like can be attached to the surface of that part.

[0051] Figure 7A shows the material 201 having a front portion 2A and a rear portion 3A that constitute the body of the stain-resistant pants, and the material 301 that constitutes the bag portion 4. The material 201 having the front portion 2A and the rear portion 3A is cylindrical and opens in both left and right directions, as shown in Figures 7B and 7C. The material 301 that constitutes the bag portion 4 is bag-shaped and opens upwards. The material 201 is formed by blow molding.

[0052] Figure 8 illustrates another example, showing the material 401 that constitutes the front 2A and rear 3A of the pants body, and the material 501 that constitutes the bag portion 4. The material 401 that constitutes the front 2A and rear 3A is cylindrical and open at both the top and bottom. The front 2A and rear 3A can be obtained by cutting a portion of both the left and right sides of this material 401. The material 501 that constitutes the bag portion 4 is bag-shaped and opens upwards. The material 401 is formed by blow molding.

[0053] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the pant body 1A, consisting of the front member 2 and the rear member 3 that constitute the stain-resistant pant 1, and the bag portion 4 are each made of resin sheets. Therefore, the cost of each component can be reduced compared to conventional nonwoven fabrics, and as a result, the cost of the stain-resistant pant 1 can be reduced.

[0054] When wearing the stain-resistant pants 1, the pouch portion 4 is positioned to extend downward between the thighs 102, 102 from the front member 2 and the rear member 3. Since the front member 2 of this pouch portion 4 is made of a transparent resin sheet, a hole 10 of the minimum necessary size to match the examination or treatment instrument being used can be made on-site, and the examination or treatment instrument can be inserted into the pouch portion 4 through the hole 10 to perform examination or treatment of the genital area.

[0055] If feces, urine, or blood are released from the patient during examination or treatment, they can be collected inside the bag portion 4, which covers the genitals, anus, and surrounding areas from below. In addition, since the front member 2, rear member 3, and bag portion 4 are each made of resin sheets that do not allow liquids to pass through, they will not soak in and leak like nonwoven fabric, and can be contained within the stain-resistant pants 1.

[0056] Furthermore, even if stool is forcefully expelled from the patient 100, such as during a prostate cancer examination, only the minimum necessary hole 10 is made in the bag portion 4. As a result, there is no large opening as in conventional examples, and therefore, splashing of forcefully expelled stool to the outside is suppressed. This reduces the burden of subsequent cleaning work.

[0057] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be interpreted restrictively. Furthermore, any modifications or changes that fall within the equivalent scope of the claims are all within the scope of the present invention. [Industrial applicability]

[0058] As described above, the technology relating to this disclosure can be used during examinations or treatments of the genital area. [Explanation of Symbols]
