Description

gloves for disimpaction

[0001] The present invention relates to gloves for disimpaction, and particularly to gloves for use in disimpaction performed by workers such as doctors, nurses and caregivers on subjects who are having trouble passing stool due to constipation or the like.

[0002] As the population ages, the strength of the muscles in the large intestine and other parts of the body weakens, making it more difficult for feces to be transported smoothly to the anus, resulting in an increasing number of elderly people suffering from atonic constipation. Enemas are commonly used to treat constipation, but even with an enema, if the feces remain hardened, bowel movements cannot be carried out smoothly. In such situations, traditionally, a finger is inserted into the anus to scrape out the hardened feces.

[0003] This type of finger-based disimpaction is mentally and physically challenging, even for medical professionals such as doctors and nurses who have been working in the medical field for many years, and even for caregivers at nursing homes that house many elderly people. Furthermore, it is difficult to scrape out the stool simply by cutting it with one finger, and it is necessary to insert at least two fingers to increase the area that can accommodate the stool to be removed, but inserting two or more fingers into the anus causes great pain to the subject.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a disimpaction glove that allows a worker performing disimpaction to safely and easily perform disimpaction without causing pain to a subject.

[0005] The present invention provides the following items.

[0006] (Item 1) A glove for disimpaction comprising a feces scooping part provided at a site corresponding to the tip of an index finger or a middle finger, on the palmar or dorsal surface of the index finger or the middle finger, or on a side sandwiched between the palmar and dorsal surfaces of the index finger or the middle finger, so as to extend at least toward the radial and / or ulnar side of the index finger or the middle finger, wherein the feces scooping part is configured to include a flexible member or an elastic member having contractible flexibility.

[0014] (Item 9) The disimpaction glove according to Item 8, wherein the expansion suppressing member is a thread-like member that fastens the outer periphery of the stool scooping portion, and further includes a cutting mechanism that cuts the thread-like member to release the fastening by the thread-like member.

[0015] (Item 10) The disimpaction glove according to Item 8, wherein the expansion suppressing member is a cylindrical member or a ring-shaped member that surrounds the outer periphery of the feces scooping portion.

[0016] (Item 11) The disimpaction glove according to Item 8, wherein the stool scooping portion has a retaining piece that prevents the expansion suppressing member from coming off.

[0017] (Item 12) The disimpaction glove according to Item 1, wherein the stool scooping portion is provided only at the positions corresponding to the index finger and the middle finger.

[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain disimpaction gloves that allow a worker performing disimpaction to safely and easily perform disimpaction without causing pain to a subject.

[0019] Fig. 1 shows a disimpaction glove 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 shows a modified example of the arrangement of the stool scooping part 30 in the first embodiment. Fig. 3 shows an example of a stool scooping part 30a having a different shape from the stool scooping part 30 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows disimpaction work using the disimpaction glove 100 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows a disimpaction glove 101 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 shows disimpaction gloves 102 and 103 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] The present invention will be described below.Unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms used in this specification are used in the meanings generally used in the relevant field.Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs.In the event of any discrepancy, this specification (including definitions) shall prevail.

[0021] In this specification, the term "about" refers to a range of ±10% of the following number.

[0022] An object of the present invention is to provide disimpaction gloves that allow a worker performing disimpaction to perform the work safely and easily without causing pain to the subject, and the above object has been solved by providing disimpaction gloves that include a stool scooping part that is provided at a site corresponding to the tip of the index finger or middle finger, on the palmar surface or dorsal surface of the index finger or middle finger, or on the side sandwiched between the palmar surface and dorsal surface of the index finger or middle finger, and that extends at least toward the radial side and / or ulnar side of the index finger or middle finger, and that is configured so as to include a flexible member or an elastic member that has contractible flexibility.

[0023] Therefore, the disimpaction glove of the present invention is provided with a feces scooping part which is provided at a site corresponding to the tip of the index finger or middle finger, on the palmar surface or dorsal surface of the index finger or middle finger, or on the side sandwiched between the palmar surface and dorsal surface of the index finger or middle finger, so as to extend at least toward the radial side and / or ulnar side of the index finger or middle finger, and the feces scooping part is configured to include a flexible member or elastic member having contractible flexibility, so long as other configurations are not particularly limited.

[0024] (Gloves) It is sufficient for the glove to have a finger pouch (so-called finger cot) that can accommodate at least a portion of the index finger or middle finger. Preferably, the glove has a base pouch portion that encloses the palm and back of the hand near the base of the fingers, and a finger pouch that corresponds to at least the index finger or middle finger and extends from the base pouch portion. Since only the index finger is used in the disimpaction operation, it is sufficient for the finger pouch to be provided at least in a portion that corresponds to the index finger. However, finger pouches may also be provided in portions that correspond to other fingers, such as the middle finger or thumb.

[0025] The base and finger pockets may be made of any material, including any material commonly used in gloves for medical use, home use, construction, and the like.

[0026] The stool scraping portion can be made of any material, as long as it is a flexible or elastic member that has contractible flexibility. Hard rubber or silicone resin is preferred, but metal or other flexible materials can also be used. It is preferably configured to be stretchable against forces toward the radial and / or ulnar sides of the fingers, and to have high strength against forces in directions substantially perpendicular to the forces toward the radial and / or ulnar sides (i.e., forces toward the palmar surface and / or dorsal surface).

[0027] The shape of the stool scooping portion may also be arbitrary. In Figures 1 to 4, the cross section is generally fan-shaped in a plane parallel to the plane sandwiched between the palmar and dorsal surfaces, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, various shapes, such as a spiral or a radial shape, may be formed. Furthermore, in Figures 1 to 4, the stool scooping portion is configured to extend to the radial and ulnar sides of the index finger, but it may extend to only one side, or it may be provided on the middle finger instead of the index finger. Furthermore, the stool scooping portion may be shaped so that a recess is formed on the palmar side of the index finger or middle finger. By using such a recess shape, stool can be contained within the recess, making it easier and more reliable to scoop out the stool.

[0028] Furthermore, it is assumed that the task of disimpaction will be performed with the index finger or middle finger, and the disimpaction part is provided only on the finger pouch corresponding to the index finger or middle finger, but a disimpaction part may be provided on each of the finger pouches corresponding to the index finger and middle finger so that each can be used separately. Furthermore, in situations where urgent disimpaction is required based on the judgment of a doctor or the like, or in situations where the patient is experiencing only minor pain, inserting the index finger and middle finger and disimpaction is within the scope of use of the disimpaction glove of the present invention.

[0029] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0030] (Embodiment 1) Fig. 1 shows a disimpaction glove 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) is an overall view of the disimpaction glove 100, and Figs. 1(b) and 1(c) are enlarged schematic views of region R in Fig. 1(a).

[0031] The disimpaction glove 100 of the present invention comprises a base pouch 10 that encases the palm and back of the hand near the bases of the fingers, and finger pouches 21 to 24 that extend from the base pouch 10 and into which the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger and thumb can be inserted, respectively.

[0032] The base pouch 10 and the finger pouches 21 to 24 are made of rubber. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The finger pouch 20 for the index finger is provided with a feces scooping portion 30 at a position corresponding to the tip of the index finger.

[0033] In the present invention, the fingertip refers to the region between the tip of the finger and the distal phalanx end, and the region distal to that region. The feces scooping unit 30 of the present invention may be provided over the entire region of the fingertip (for example, the region between the tip of the finger and the distal phalanx end), or may be provided on a part of the fingertip, or may be provided only below the fingertip (base end) or above the tip of the finger (distal end), or may be provided across the fingertip.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1(b) and 1(c), the feces scooping unit 30 is configured to correspond to the tip of the index finger, extending from the palmar and dorsal surfaces toward the radial and ulnar sides. The feces scooping unit 30 may be made of a flexible, contractible material such as hard rubber or silicone resin. It may also contain an internal elastic member such as a spring or a fibrous metal member. It may also be a composite member made of multiple materials. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1(c), the fan-shaped feces scooping unit 30 has a large cross-sectional area on the ulnar and / or palmar planes, allowing for the function of scooping out a larger amount of feces by simply scooping from the dorsal to the palmar side of the finger.

[0035] Furthermore, the stool scraping portion 30 is configured to have flexibility that allows it to expand and contract with a force from the tip to the base end of the index finger (a force in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1(a)), a force from the base end to the tip of the index finger, or a force along the radial and ulnar sides (a force in the direction of the solid arrow in Figure 1(b)).

[0036] In contrast, the stool scraping section 30 is configured to have high strength and be resistant to deformation when subjected to force directed toward the palmar surface of the index finger and / or force directed toward the dorsal surface of the index finger (force in the direction of the dotted arrow in Figure 1 (b)).

[0037] The location of the feces scooping unit 30 on the palmar or dorsal surface of the fingertip 20a, 21a of the index finger 20 or middle finger 21 can be arbitrary, and may be, for example, the location shown in Fig. 2 in addition to the location shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows a modified example of the location of the feces scooping unit 30 on the palmar or dorsal surface of the fingertip 20a, 21a of the index finger 20 or middle finger 21. For example, Fig. 2(a) shows the feces scooping unit 30 being located on the dorsal surface of the index finger 20 or middle finger 21, and Fig. 2(b) shows the feces scooping unit 30 being located on the palmar surface of the index finger 20 or middle finger 21. In either case, the same function and effect as the feces scooping unit 30 shown in Fig. 1 can be achieved.

[0038] 2(c) and (d) are views of the feces scooping unit 30 as viewed from the ulnar or radial side, and as shown in Fig. 2(c), the base end of the feces scooping unit 30 may be connected to the dorsal surface side and extend toward the fingertip, with the tip side curved to form a recess on the palmar surface side capable of accommodating feces, or as shown in Fig. 2(d), the base end of the feces scooping unit 30 may be connected to the palmar surface side and have a portion that gradually curves toward the dorsal surface toward the fingertip, and a portion further toward the palmar surface than the portion curved toward the dorsal surface, thereby forming a recess that can accommodate feces. Note that the recess may have a portion that extends beyond the dorsal and / or palmar surfaces.

[0039] FIG. 2A shows an example of a different shape from the feces scooping part 30 of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 . While the feces scooping part 30 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a single, substantially circular member (material) of substantially uniform thickness when viewed from the palm or dorsal side, the feces scooping part 30a shown in FIG. 2A differs in that it is a substantially fan-shaped member with multiple feces scooping pieces 31 integrally molded or integrally joined. It is preferable that the multiple feces scooping pieces 31 are integrally molded or integrally joined. This increases the feces scooping area (area) and increases the strength of the feces scooping part in the direction of feces scooping (i.e., from the palm side to the dorsal side). While it is preferable that the multiple feces scooping pieces 31 are integrally molded with the glove, the present invention is not limited thereto. The multiple feces scooping pieces 31 may also be joined by adhesive, fusion, or other means.

[0040] In addition, the toilet may be provided with a plurality of feces scraping sections 30a, each having a plurality of feces scraping pieces 31 connected thereto, and the feces scraping sections 30a may not be connected to each other.

[0041] The multiple fecal scraping pieces 31 may have the same shape or different shapes. Furthermore, at least one of the multiple fecal scraping pieces 31 has a recess on the palmar side of the index finger or middle finger. This recessed shape allows feces to be stored within the recess, making it easier and more reliable to scrape out the feces. Furthermore, the scraping pieces 31 are designed to have low strength against forces from the ulnar or radial side, allowing them to be contracted and folded.

[0042] The cross-sectional shape of the recess on the palmar surface of the index finger or middle finger can be any shape, such as V-shape as shown in FIG. 2A, U-shape, U-shape, semicircular shape, etc.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2A(a), the feces scraping piece 31 is composed of a core portion 31a that maintains the strength of the feces scraping portion 30 and a surface portion 31b that mainly serves as a feces holding area.

[0044] The core portions 31b of the multiple fecal scraping pieces 31 are designated a through f, in order from the ulnar or radial side. The core portion 31a may be thicker than the surface portions 31b or may be made of a stronger material than the surface portions 31b. In one embodiment, the core portion 31a and the surface portions 31b are made of the same resin, such as silicone rubber or hard rubber, and the thickness of the surface portions 31b is thinner than the thickness of the core portion 31a. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A(b), the core portion 31a is made of a high-strength material, such as metal or ceramic, and the surface portions 31b are made of a mesh material, such as a resin, such as silicone rubber or hard rubber, or a metal. The surface portions 31b may be flat or concave. A concave shape that allows for efficient storage of feces is preferred.

[0045] 2A(c) and (d) are diagrams showing different shapes of the stool scraping unit 30. Fig. 2A(c) is a diagram of the stool scraping unit 30 as seen from the ulnar or radial side, with the palmar side shown on the left side of the drawing. Fig. 2A(d) is a diagram of the stool scraping unit 30 as seen from the fingertip end side, with the palmar side shown on the top side of the drawing.

[0046] In Type A, the core portions 31b a to f of the feces scraping pieces 31 of the feces scraping portions 30 shown in Figure 2A (a) are arranged in a substantially straight line when viewed from the tip of the finger.

[0047] In contrast, in Type B, the core 31b is disposed closer to the dorsal side as one moves from the ulnar or radial side toward the center, and in Type C, the core 31b is disposed closer to the palm side as one moves from the ulnar or radial side toward the center.

[0048] Types A and C can be appropriately selected based on each condition so as to be able to contract and expand well against forces from the ulnar and / or radial sides. In one embodiment, types B and C are able to contract and expand well against forces from the ulnar and / or radial sides compared to type A.

[0049] Next, the method of disimpaction using the disimpaction glove 100 of the present invention and its effects will be described with reference to FIG.

[0050] First, when the disimpaction glove 100 of the present invention is worn on the hand as shown in FIG. 1, the feces scooping part 30 provided at the part corresponding to the tip of the inserted index finger is usually in an expanded state.

[0051] From this state, when the index finger is inserted into the anus S to scrape out stool, as shown in Figure 3(a), the stool scraping part 30 provided at the part corresponding to the tip of the index finger has flexibility that allows it to expand and contract with the force directed from the tip to the base of the index finger as indicated by the arrow in Figure 3(a), and therefore it can be smoothly inserted into the anus by changing from an expanded state to a contracted state. As a result, it is possible to reduce pain felt by the subject.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3(b), when the tip of the index finger enters the anus, the force acting from the tip of the index finger toward the base of the stool scooping unit 30 is released, causing the stool scooping unit 30 to change from a contracted state to an expanded state. By moving the index finger while the stool scooping unit 30 is in an expanded state, it is possible to scoop out stool over an area larger than the size of the index finger, making it possible to efficiently and easily scoop out stool. Furthermore, the stool scooping unit 30 is configured to have high strength and not deform in the direction in which the index finger moves, i.e., against forces acting toward the palmar or dorsal surface of the index finger, thereby enabling even more efficient scooping out of stool.

[0053] Finally, as shown in Figure 3(c), when the index finger is removed, a force is applied to the stool scraping part 30 from the base end of the index finger toward the tip end, but because the stool scraping part 30 has flexibility that allows it to contract freely in that direction, it can easily remove the index finger from the anus S by transforming from an expanded state to a contracted state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the subject from feeling pain and to achieve a safe and easy operation for the worker.

[0054] (Embodiment 2) Fig. 4 shows a disimpaction glove 101 according to embodiment 2 of the present invention. The disimpaction glove 101 according to embodiment 2 differs from the disimpaction glove of embodiment 1 shown in Fig. 1 in that it is provided with an expansion suppression member 50 for the stool scooping part 30. The rest of the configuration is the same.

[0055] The expansion suppressing member 50 has a thread-like member 51 that fastens the outer periphery of the stool scraping portion 30 in a contracted state, and a cutting mechanism 52 that releases the fastened state by the thread-like member 51. The cutting mechanism 52 may be any mechanism that can cut the thread-like member 51. For example, the cutting mechanism 52 may be equipped with a mechanism that pulls the thread-like member 51, and the fastened state of the thread-like member 51 can be released by the pulling, or may be a heating mechanism or the like that releases the fastened state by burning off the thread-like member 51.

[0056] In the case of a disimpaction glove 101 having such an expansion suppression member 50, the expansion suppression member 50 makes it possible to insert the index finger into the anus S while maintaining the stool scraping part 30 in a contracted state, thereby making it possible to suppress pain felt by the subject.

[0057] Then, by operating the cutting mechanism 52 with the index finger inserted inside the anus, the fastened state of the thread-like member 51 is released and the stool scraping part 30 is put into an expanded state, which makes it possible to scrape out stool easily and efficiently.

[0058] (Embodiment 3) Fig. 5 shows a disimpaction glove 102 according to embodiment 3 of the present invention and a modified disimpaction glove 103. The disimpaction glove 102 according to embodiment 3 and its modified example 103 differ from the disimpaction glove 101 according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 in the structure of the expansion suppressing member 50 and the configuration of the stool scraping part 30. The other configurations are the same.

[0059] 5A, a cylindrical member 50a is used as the expansion suppressing member 50, and FIG. 5B, a ring-shaped member 50b is used as the expansion suppressing member 50. In FIG.

[0060] The material of the tubular member 50a can be any material, such as metal, ceramic, or resin, but is preferably a flexible material such as rubber. In particular, it is preferable that the tubular member 50a be able to contract in the axial direction. During insertion, the tubular member 50a causes the outer periphery of the fecal scraping part 30 to be in a contracted state, making it possible to easily insert it into the anus S. Then, as the tubular member is slid behind the index finger while being inserted into the anus S, the fecal scraping part 30 can gradually change from a contracted state to an expanded state.

[0061] Similarly, the same effect can be achieved even if the ring-shaped member 50b is used instead of the cylindrical member 50a.

[0062] The size of the ring-shaped member 50b may be such that it cannot be inserted into the anus S. By doing so, when an attempt is made to insert the index finger or middle finger into the anus S, the ring-shaped member 50b is prevented from penetrating further by the anus S, and by further inserting the index finger or middle finger while maintaining this state, the contracted state of the stool scraping part 30 is released inside the anus S and becomes expanded. After scraping out the stool, the index finger or middle finger is removed from the anus S, and then the ring-shaped member 50b can be inserted around the outer periphery of the stool scraping part 30, which has the excellent effect of allowing it to be reused.

[0063] Similarly to the cylindrical member 50a, the material of the ring-shaped member may be any material.

[0064] The stool scraping part 30 has a retaining piece 32 for preventing the expansion-inhibiting member 50 (the tubular member 50a or the ring-shaped member 50b) from slipping out onto the fingertip. The provision of this retaining piece 32 makes it possible to prevent the expansion-inhibiting member 50 from slipping out of the disimpaction glove during insertion and becoming retained inside the body. The shape, material, etc. of the retaining piece 32 may be any form as long as it is effective. From the standpoint of manufacturing cost, etc., it is preferable that the retaining piece 32 be made of the same material as the stool scraping part 30 so that it can be molded integrally with the stool scraping part 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0065] Although the first to third embodiments have been described based on the feces scraping unit 30 shown in FIG. 1, the same functional effects can be achieved even if the feces scraping unit 30a shown in FIG. 2A is adopted.

[0066] As described above, the present invention has been illustrated using preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these embodiments. It is understood that the scope of the present invention should be interpreted only by the claims. It is understood that a person skilled in the art can implement an equivalent scope based on the description of the present invention and common general technical knowledge from the description of specific preferred embodiments of the present invention. It is understood that the contents of the documents cited in this specification should be incorporated by reference into this specification as if the contents themselves were specifically set forth in this specification.

[0067] INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is useful because it can provide disimpaction gloves that allow a worker performing disimpaction to safely and easily perform disimpaction without causing pain to a subject.
