Description

Toiletry pants for patients

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet disposal pant for use by a patient, which enables the stool of an unconscious or immobile patient to be disposed of hygienically and simply without contaminating the patient's panties, clothing, or bed while lying down.

[0002] In general, for patients admitted to the hospital, patients who are able to move can defecate in the toilet without much inconvenience, but for patients who are lying unconscious or patients who are conscious but cannot move at all, there are cases where they defecate while lying down, and in such cases, a caregiver or guardian helps with the defecation or cleans up the excreted feces.

[0003] However, in the case of conscious patients during defecation, they can express their desire to defecate, so when the patient defecates, a caregiver or guardian can use a toilet or urinal to collect the feces and wipe them with a wet towel, but in the case of unconscious patients, they defecate frequently without realizing it, so the excreted feces contaminate not only the panties and patient gown they are wearing, but also the bed they are lying on, making it very difficult for the caregiver or guardian to clean it up.

[0004] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a patient-use excrement disposal panty that can easily and hygienically dispose of the patient's excrement by collecting the excrement that the patient unconsciously excretes with a stool bag and urine bag that are detachably installed on the patient's panties, and effectively prevent the patient's clothing or bed from being contaminated by the excrement.

[0035] The configuration and operation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0036] This is intended to explain in detail to a degree that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can easily practice the contents of the present invention, and does not mean that the technical idea and scope of the present invention are limited thereby.

[0037] In addition, when adding reference signs to components of each drawing, it should be noted that they are indicated with the same signs, and terms specifically defined in consideration of the configuration and operation of the present invention may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator, and the definitions of these terms should be determined based on the contents throughout this specification.

[0038] First, the excrement treatment pants for use on a patient according to one embodiment of the present invention can be broadly divided into patient pants that are configured with a front part, a crotch part, and a back part for easy wearing, a silicone pad installed in the crotch part of the patient pants, and a stool bag and a urine bag that are detachably connected to the silicone pad to collect the patient's stool and urine. Each component will be examined in more detail with reference to the drawings exemplified below.

[0039] First, the patient panties (100)(100a) are,

[0040] It is designed to be easily worn by patients with limited mobility and can be designed in a diaper-like form.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, it is composed of a front part (110) that wraps around the lower abdomen of a patient, a crotch part (120) that wraps around the groin area of ​​the patient, and a rear part (130) that wraps around the buttocks of the patient. The front part (110), the crotch part (120), and the rear part (130) may be sequentially connected to each other, or the front part (110), the crotch part (120), and the rear part (130) may be configured in a form in which they are connected to each other in a state in which they are configured separately from each other.

[0042] And since both sides of the front part (110) and both sides of the back part (130) are provided with detachable materials such as Velcro tapes, when the patient panties (100) (100a) are worn, the front part (110) is placed on the stomach and the back part (130) is placed on the buttocks while the crotch part (120) is fitted into the patient's crotch area, and then the detachable materials on both sides of the front part (110) and the detachable materials on both sides of the back part (130) are connected to each other, so that the patient panties can be worn simply.

[0043] Meanwhile, in order to connect the stool bag (400) and urine bag (300) described later to the outside of the patient panties (100) (100a), so that the patient's excrement does not remain inside the patient panties (100) (100a) but moves to the stool bag (400) and urine bag (300), a first incision (121) having a predetermined shape is formed in the crotch area (120) at a location corresponding to the patient's genitals, and a second incision (122) having a predetermined shape is formed at a location corresponding to the patient's anus, so that the stool bag (400) and urine bag (300) can be pulled out and connected to the outside through the first incision (121) and the second incision (122).

[0044] Here, the shape of the first incision (121) and the second incision (122) need not be determined to be either one, and may be formed to be larger than the size of the genitals or anus so that the genitals or anus are located inside and included, and may be cut through while having a shape such as a circle, an oval, or a polygon, and may be cut in a straight shape so that the cut portion is normally closed and opens only when a stool bag (400) or a urine bag (300) is inserted.

[0045] Patient panties (100) (100a) may be composed of a material such as cotton that is comfortable when in contact with the human body, and the front part (110), the crotch part (120), and the back part (130) may be composed in a straight shape, but for the convenience of wearing, the front part (110) and the back part (130) may be composed to be wide and the crotch part (120) to be relatively narrow.

[0046] And the detachable members provided on both sides of the front part (110) and both sides of the rear part (130) are made of strings, and the patient panties (100) (100a) can be worn by tying or untying these strings.

[0047] Silicone pad (200)(200a) is,

[0048] It is made of a material such as silicone that does not cause discomfort by directly contacting the patient's body, and is installed on the inner side of the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a) described above, and fixes the entrance of the stool bag (400) and urine bag (300) described later so that they can be connected to the patient's genitals and anus.

[0049] The silicone pad (200) (200a) may be positioned inside the crotch area (120) of the patient's panties (100) (100a), and the outer edge may be sewn and fixed to the inner surface of the crotch area (120). In some cases, the surfaces of the silicone pad (200) (200a) and the crotch area (120) may be fused and fixed to each other.

[0050] Looking at the configuration of such a silicone pad (200) (200a), it can be configured with a thin thickness of approximately 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and a first hole (210) corresponding to a first incision (121) formed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a) can be formed on one side, and a second hole (220) corresponding to a second incision (122) formed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a) can be formed on the other side.

[0051] Here, the first hole (210) and the second hole (220) can be formed in a shape such as a circle, an oval, a triangle, or a diamond, corresponding to the shape of the genitals or anus, and it is preferable that they be formed larger than the size of a typical genitals or anus.

[0052] Meanwhile, in the case of a silicone pad (200a) to be installed in patient panties (100a) to be worn by men, unlike the silicone pad (200) to be installed in patient panties (100) to be worn by women, a third hole (230) through which the testicles can exit may be formed between the first hole (210) and the second hole (220), and a third incision (123) corresponding to the third hole (230) may be formed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100a) to be worn by men, so that the testicles of a male patient can exit through the third hole (230) and the third incision (123).

[0053] In addition, in the case of the testis that comes out through the third incision (123), it can be left as is as it is exposed to the outside of the patient panties (100a), but it may be inconvenient in terms of hygiene or visual appearance, so a pocket-shaped net or additional fabric may be placed on the outer surface of the crotch area (120) in correspondence with the third incision (123), so that the testis that comes out through the third incision (123) can be accommodated inside the pocket-shaped net or additional fabric.

[0054] Meanwhile, the first guide ring (310) of the urine bag (300) and the third guide ring (410) of the feces bag (400), which will be described later, are positioned on the first hole (210) and the second hole (220) of the silicone pad (200) (200a), so that the first discharge hole (311) of the first guide ring (310) and the third discharge hole (411) of the third guide ring (410) are connected to the patient's genitals or anus, and urine and feces are accurately discharged into the urine bag (300) or the feces bag (400). However, if the first guide ring (310) of the urine bag (300) and the third guide ring (410) of the feces bag (400) are not accurately attached to the patient's genitals or anus, some of the feces may leak out through the gap, which may contaminate the patient's clothes or bed.

[0055] Accordingly, the present invention forms the first and second protrusions (211) (221) by extending the entrance of the first hole (210) and the entrance of the second hole (220) upwardly from the surface of the silicone pad (200) (200a), so that when the genitals or anus are in close contact with the first guide ring (310) of the urine bag (300) and the third guide ring (410) of the feces bag (400), the first and second protrusions (211) (221) are elastically pressed, so that the genitals or anus can be more firmly and elastically in close contact with the surface of the first guide ring (310) of the urine bag (300) and the surface of the third guide ring (410) of the feces bag (400).

[0056] Here, since the genital area is closer to the inside than the outside of the first hole (210) in response to the patient's groin body structure, it is preferable to configure the first protrusion (211) so that the protruding height is higher on the inside facing the second hole (220) than on the outside facing the second hole (220), thereby slanting the entire area.

[0057] And since the anal area is also closer to the inside than the outside of the second hole (220), it is preferable to configure the second protrusion (221) so that the protrusion height is higher on the inside facing the first hole (210) than on the outside facing the first hole (210), so that the entire protrusion is inclined.

[0058] In addition, a fourth hole (240) can be formed behind the second hole (220) in the silicone pad (200) (200a), and this fourth hole (240) can prevent the patient's coccyx from being uncomfortable due to the coccyx being in close contact with the silicone pad (200) (200a) as the coccyx is positioned.

[0059] In addition, this fourth hole (240) can indicate direction when installing the silicone pad (200) (200a) in the crotch area (120) of the patient's panties (100) (100a), so that the mistake of installing the silicone pad (200) (200a) in the wrong direction when installing it in the crotch area (120) can be prevented in advance.

[0060] Urine bag (300)

[0061] By allowing the patient's excreted urine to be moved to the outside of the patient's panties (100) (100a) and stored separately, the patient's clothing or bed is prevented from being contaminated by the excreted urine, and the excreted urine can be disposed of hygienically and easily.

[0062] Looking at the configuration of the urine bag (300), it can be composed of a first guide ring (310) that is overlapped and connected to face each other, has a first discharge hole (311) formed in the center, a second guide ring (320) that is formed to have a second discharge hole (321) formed in the center, and a closed space in which urine excreted downward is temporarily stored, and an open upper edge is inserted into the lower side of the second discharge hole (321) of the second guide ring (320) and a urine storage bag (330) in the form of a bag that is connected to each other by being inserted between the surface of the second guide ring (320) and the back surface of the first guide ring (310).

[0063] Here, the shapes of the first guide ring (310) and the second guide ring (320) can be configured in various shapes depending on the shape of the genitals, and the shapes of the first guide ring (310) and the second guide ring (320) can be formed to be the same or different from each other, or can be configured in a shape corresponding to the shape of the first hole (210) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) described above.

[0064] These first guide rings (310) and second guide rings (320) may be composed of flexible synthetic resin, rubber, silicone, urethane, etc., and may be composed of fiber, sponge, paper (preferably coated with a film to have a waterproof function), etc. In the case of the first guide ring (310), it is preferable to be composed of a material that is soft, non-irritating, and does not affect the human body as it comes into direct contact with the patient's body.

[0065] The first guide ring (310) and the second guide ring (320) can be joined to each other with the upper edge of the urine storage bag (330) interposed between them, and can be joined by methods such as adhesion, fusion, or sewing depending on the material.

[0066] In addition, since the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) is in contact with the end of the first protrusion (211) formed in the first hole (210) of the silicone pad (200) (200a), an adhesive material is applied to the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) so that it can be attached to and detached from the end of the first protrusion (211). Accordingly, when the urine bag (300) filled with urine is removed from the patient panties (100) (100a), if the urine bag (300) is pulled with a certain external force, the second guide ring (320) can be separated from the first hole (210) together with the first guide ring (310), so that the urine bag (300) can be easily separated and removed from the patient panties (100) (100a).

[0067] Here, the first protrusion (211) may be bent so that a portion of the end is perpendicular to the outside, and the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) may be attached to the flattened upper surface using an adhesive material. However, in this case, when the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) and the flattened upper surface at the end of the first protrusion (211) come into surface contact, urine may leak out as they are not uniformly adhered to the entire surface.

[0068] Accordingly, by configuring the end of the first protrusion (211) to be bent outward and spread out in a curved manner, the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) and the highest point of the bent end of the first protrusion (211) make line contact rather than surface contact, thereby preventing urine leakage while ensuring uniform contact throughout.

[0069] The urine storage bag (330) constituting the urine bag (300) may be made of transparent, opaque, or semi-transparent vinyl or paper with an inner surface coating when manufactured for one-time use, and may be made of rubber, silicone, or a thin resin material that is free from shape deformation so that the inside can be cleaned.

[0070] When such a urine bag (300) is installed in the patient panties (100) (100a), the urine storage bag (330) is first folded and then successively passed through the first hole (210) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) installed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a) and the first cut portion (121) of the crotch area (120) so that the urine storage bag (330) is pulled out of the patient panties (100) (100a), and the installation can be completed by attaching the bottom surface of the second guide ring (320) to the end of the first protrusion (211) of the first hole (210).

[0071] Accordingly, when the patient excretes urine, the urine flows out through the first discharge hole (311) of the first guide ring (310) and is stored in the urine storage bag (330) of the urine bag (300) located outside the patient panties (100) (100a).

[0072] In this state, when disposing of urine, if the urine storage bag (330) is carefully pulled, the urine storage bag (330) and the first guide ring (310) and the second guide ring (320) connected thereto can be removed by coming out through the first hole (210) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) and the first incision (121) formed in the crotch area (120) of the patient's panties (100) (100a), and then a new urine bag (300) can be prepared and reinstalled on the patient's panties (100) (100a).

[0073] Meanwhile, since urine moved to the urine storage bag (330) may flow back depending on the patient's movement, it is necessary to prevent such backflow, and as a means of preventing backflow, a urine backflow prevention bag (340) can be installed inside the urine storage bag (330) to prevent backflow of urine.

[0074] The urine reflux prevention bag (340) is configured to be, for example, in the form of a bag with the upper and lower sides open, such that the size of the open lower outlet (342) is smaller than the size of the open upper inlet (341) so as to form an approximately inverted triangle, and the edge of the open upper inlet (341) is positioned inside the urine storage bag (330), and the open upper edge of the urine storage bag (330) is fitted between the surface of the second guide ring (320) and the back surface of the first guide ring (310) so as to be joined to each other from below the second discharge hole (321) of the second guide ring (320).

[0075] Accordingly, when a patient discharges urine, the urine passes through the first discharge hole (311) of the first guide ring (310) and flows out through the upper inlet (341) of the urine reflux prevention bag (340) to the lower outlet (342), whereby the urine is stored in the urine storage bag (330). Even if urine flows back due to the patient's posture, it is difficult for the urine that has moved to the urine storage bag (330) to flow into the lower outlet (342) of the urine reflux prevention bag (340) which has a small size, so that the backflow of urine can be effectively prevented.

[0076] Meanwhile, the urine storage bag (330) is equipped with a moisture detection sensor, and the control unit connected to the moisture detection sensor is configured to receive a signal from the moisture detection sensor, so that when the patient discharges urine, the control unit that receives the signal from the moisture detection sensor can be configured to notify a wireless terminal such as a cell phone owned by a guardian or caregiver of the discharge of urine.

[0077] In addition, by configuring the interior of the urine storage bag (330) to contain an absorbent material capable of absorbing moisture, it is possible to process a large amount of urine in unavoidable situations and prevent backflow.

[0078] The stool bag (400) is

[0079] By allowing the patient's excreted stool to be moved to the outside of the patient's panties (100) (100a) and stored separately, the patient's clothing or bed is prevented from being contaminated by the excreted stool, and the excreted stool can be disposed of hygienically and easily.

[0080] Looking at the configuration of the fecal bag (400), it can be composed of a third guide ring (410) that is overlapped and connected to face each other, has a third discharge hole (411) formed in the center, a fourth guide ring (420) that is formed to have a fourth discharge hole (421) formed in the center, and a closed space in which feces excreted downward are temporarily stored, and an open upper edge is inserted into the bottom of the fourth discharge hole (421) of the fourth guide ring (420) and a bag-shaped fecal storage bag (430) that is connected to each other by being inserted between the surface of the fourth guide ring (420) and the back surface of the third guide ring (410).

[0081] Here, the shapes of the third guide ring (410) and the fourth guide ring (420) can be configured in various shapes corresponding to the anus, and the shapes of the third guide ring (410) and the fourth guide ring (420) can be formed to be the same or different from each other, and can be configured in a shape corresponding to the shape of the second hole (220) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) described above.

[0082] These third guide rings (410) and fourth guide rings (420) may be composed of flexible synthetic resin or rubber, silicone, urethane, etc., and may be composed of fiber, sponge, paper (preferably coated with a film to have a waterproof function), etc. In the case of the third guide ring (410), it is preferable to be composed of a material that is soft, non-irritating, and does not affect the human body as it comes into direct contact with the patient's body.

[0083] The third guide ring (410) and the fourth guide ring (420) can be joined to each other by means of adhesive, fusion, sewing, etc. depending on the material when they are joined to each other with the upper edge of the feces storage bag (430) between them.

[0084] In addition, since the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) is in contact with the end of the second protrusion (221) formed in the second hole (220) of the silicone pad (200) (200a), an adhesive material is applied to the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) so that it can be attached to the end of the second protrusion (221), and thus, when the stool bag (400) filled with stool is removed from the patient panties (100) (100a), if the stool bag (400) is pulled with a certain external force, the fourth guide ring (420) can be separated from the second hole (220) together with the third guide ring (410), so that the stool bag (400) can be easily separated and removed from the patient panties (100) (100a).

[0085] Here, the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) may be attached to the flattened upper surface by bending a portion of the end of the second protrusion (221) outward at a right angle, but in this case, when the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) and the flattened upper surface at the end of the second protrusion (221) come into surface contact, the seal may not be uniformly adhered to the entire surface, and the seal may leak.

[0086] Accordingly, by configuring the end of the second protrusion (221) to be bent outward and spread out in a curved manner, the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) and the highest point of the bent end of the second protrusion (221) make line contact rather than surface contact, thereby preventing leakage of feces while ensuring uniform contact throughout.

[0087] The feces storage bag (430) constituting the feces bag (400) may also be made of transparent, opaque, or semi-transparent vinyl or paper with an inner surface coating when manufactured for a single use, and may be made of rubber, silicone, or a thin resin material that is free from shape deformation so that the inside can be cleaned.

[0088] When such a stool bag (400) is installed in the patient panties (100) (100a), the stool storage bag (430) is first folded and successively passed through the second hole (220) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) installed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a) and the second cut portion (122) of the crotch area (120) so that the stool storage bag (430) is pulled out of the patient panties (100) (100a), and the installation can be completed by attaching the bottom surface of the fourth guide ring (420) to the end of the second protrusion (221) of the second hole (220).

[0089] Accordingly, when the patient excretes feces, the feces exit through the third discharge hole (411) of the third guide ring (410) and are stored in the feces storage bag (430) of the feces bag (400) located on the outside of the patient panties (100) (100a).

[0090] In this state, when disposing of feces, if the feces storage bag (430) is carefully pulled, the feces storage bag (430) and the third guide ring (410) and fourth guide ring (420) connected thereto can be removed by coming out through the second hole (220) of the silicone pad (200) (200a) and the second cut (122) formed in the crotch area (120) of the patient panties (100) (100a), and then a new feces bag (400) can be prepared and reinstalled on the patient panties (100) (100a).

[0091] Meanwhile, since the feces moved to the feces storage bag (430) may flow back in accordance with the patient's movements, it is necessary to prevent such back inflow, and by installing a feces backflow prevention bag (440) inside the feces storage bag (430) as a means to prevent back inflow, the back inflow of feces can be prevented.

[0092] For example, the fecal backflow prevention bag (440) is configured to form an approximately inverted triangle in a form of a bag with the upper and lower sides open, with the size of the open upper inlet (441) being smaller than that of the open lower outlet (442), and is located inside the fecal storage bag (430), so that the edge of the open upper inlet (441) is fitted between the surface of the fourth guide ring (420) and the back surface of the third guide ring (410) so that they are joined together by being fitted from below the fourth discharge hole (421) of the fourth guide ring (420) together with the open upper edge of the fecal storage bag (430).

[0093] Accordingly, when a patient discharges feces, the feces pass through the third discharge hole (411) of the third guide ring (410) and exit through the upper inlet (441) of the fecal reflux prevention bag (440) to the lower outlet (442), whereby the feces are stored in the fecal storage bag (430). Even if the feces flow back due to the patient's posture, it is difficult for the feces that have moved to the fecal storage bag (430) to flow into the lower outlet (442) of the small fecal reflux prevention bag (440), so that the backflow of feces can be effectively prevented.

[0094] Meanwhile, since the stool storage bag (430) is also equipped with a moisture detection sensor, the control unit connected to the moisture detection sensor is configured to receive a signal from the moisture detection sensor, so that when the patient discharges stool, the control unit that receives the signal from the moisture detection sensor can be configured to notify the discharge of stool to a wireless terminal such as a cell phone owned by a guardian or caregiver.

[0095] In addition, by configuring the inside of the feces storage bag (430) to contain an absorbent material capable of absorbing moisture, it is possible to treat the moisture contained in the feces and prevent backflow.

[0096] While the detailed description of the present invention has described specific embodiments, it should be understood that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the disclosed subject matter. Therefore, the scope of the disclosed subject matter need not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the claims set forth below but also by equivalents thereof.

[0097] Even if the patient defecates unconsciously, the excreted feces or urine are drawn out of the panties and collected in the installed feces bag or urine bag, thereby preventing the patient's clothing or bed from being contaminated with the excreted feces.
