Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a urine leakage treatment pad especially for men suffering from urinary dysfunction caused by neurological disorders and anatomical disorders, that is, residual urine leakage and urinary incontinence. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sanitary device for preventing urine leakage having a novel structure, which is excellent in usability and wearability and can be provided at a relatively low cost.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Urination is the act of excreting systemic metabolites as urine and is one of the important physiological phenomena indispensable for the human body to maintain its life. From a human perspective, it is an extremely everyday activity that you only need to do it in the toilet when you feel like urinating, and you can say that there are few opportunities to think seriously about urination. However, for those who have suffered from urination dysfunction due to some neurological or anatomical disorder, this urination act itself, which had never been necessary to be aware of it until then, or the complications resulting from it, was greatly troubled. Therefore, it becomes a serious problem that causes a great hindrance to daily life.

In urination, the urine produced by the kidney descends down the ureter and accumulates in the bowel, and when it reaches a predetermined amount, it usually causes the urine to be released from the bowel to the urethra and move in the urethra. However, if the urination function is impaired, regardless of the person's consciousness, the urine leaks out regardless of time and place, and the clothes are soiled. It will be annoying that you will have to replace it, and not only will you feel uncomfortable yourself, but you will be forced to feel extremely embarrassed depending on the time and place. In order to cure the disease, we will try treatments that are unknown to the patient, such as going to the hospital or taking medication.

However, even in modern medicine, the functional recovery is delayed because the definitive treatment method has not yet been elucidated only for disorders related to neurological control mechanisms.
There are still a myriad of people who continue to suffer from urine leakage without being healed, and many of them are in an unforeseen situation such as applying a disposable absorbent pad like a diaper to the genitals in parallel with treatment and soiling clothes. I am trying to prepare for this, but this kind of diaper that has been provided conventionally, such as bedridden patients,
Hygiene equipment provided for people who cannot urinate (incontinence) at a predetermined place. Although it has sufficient functions for urination and defecation for it, it feels uncomfortable to wear and walk. It is too large to cover only the penis as a pad for urine leakage especially for men, and when applied, it is like a brief that it reaches from the waist to the straddle, which is inconvenient and a necessary function. It would be too uneconomical in terms of unit price to fulfill the above.

In the case of a male, the length of the urethra associated with urine leakage, that is, 20 to 25 cm from the bowkou to the external urethral opening, is much longer than that of a female, which is 2.5 to 4.0 cm. Because a relatively large amount of urine remains in the urethra, for example, when a man with impaired urination functions carelessly laughs or sneezes and the lower abdomen (abdominal muscles) exerts strength, the abdominal muscles are removed. Press the bow with
It is easy to cause a urine leakage phenomenon unconsciously. As a countermeasure against this, if a man wears a conventional diaper-like pad, he or she may get wet with the urine that is discharged in a relatively large amount, which may cause skin irritation. Therefore, even if it is uneconomical every time urine leaks, it is necessary to try to replace it with a new one, and for that reason, the action of having to remove the pants and briefs worn one by one is extremely difficult for the wearer. It was annoying.

Under these circumstances, no urine leakage pad for men has yet been provided at present, and therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a urine leakage pad especially for men. As a pad, we have developed a urine leakage treatment pad with a new structure for men, which has a structure that is excellent in its usability and has little discomfort in terms of wearing feeling, and which could never be achieved with conventional diaper-like pads. , It was completed.

[0007]

As can be understood from the typical embodiment shown in the drawings, the present invention basically comprises a reinforcing membrane layer and a water absorbing body.
In addition, the waterproof film layer has the following structure. That is, except for the portion of the reinforcement membrane layer, which is formed in a shape capable of covering the male penis portion, with the distal end closed and the rear end as the insertion opening, which is the predetermined width portion around the insertion opening and serves as the fixing portion. In addition to stacking and integrating the water absorber on the entire outer surface and covering at least the entire outer surface of the water absorber with the waterproof film layer, the reinforcement film layer fixing portion may be equipped with a temporary adhesive material having a temporary adhesive portion. In addition, the reinforcing membrane layer including the fixing portion, the water absorbing body, and the waterproof membrane layer are cut over the insertion opening portion around the position where the temporary attachment portion of the temporary attachment material is located, and the size is adjusted. A urine leakage treatment pad characterized in that it is formed in a portion.

The pad for urine leakage treatment according to the present invention is not particularly limited in its overall shape as long as it can be put on the male penis portion, and therefore, it has a cylindrical shape or a tubular body having an elliptical cross section. , Or a tubular body close to them, a flat body before wearing, and a tubular body close to them when worn are all included.

The reinforcing membrane layer is the innermost portion (that is,
It is located in the part that touches the epidermis of the male penis) and serves as the shape-retaining function of this pad. There is a risk that it will not be impregnated with urine, or it will be moistened even if impregnated, or it will become vulnerable to a chemical reaction There is no such thing, and moreover, a material that allows urine to pass through as a whole, for example, a water-permeable cloth or non-woven fabric such as cotton or polyester, or a plastic plastic sheet or an impermeable furnace. It is possible to use processed paper such as paper, which has a number of minute water-permeable holes or cuts provided individually or laminated appropriately, and which has a net for reinforcement combined with them. In addition, since the reinforcing film layer is a portion that comes into direct contact with the skin, it is necessary to consider the feel of the skin when selecting and combining them.

The absorbent body is provided with a suitable means, for example, an adhesive, on the reinforcing membrane layer portion except the area corresponding to the fixed portion formed in the predetermined width portion of the outer circumference of the insertion opening in the rear end direction of the urine leakage treatment pad. Depending on the type of absorber used, it may be laminated and integrated by means such as self-adhesion and the like, and it fulfills the function of absorbing leaked urine and keeping it in an impregnated state.
For example, it is a hydrous fibrous material itself such as paper, pulp material, etc., which has excellent water absorption, and in which urine is impregnated and retained between the single fibers, or a chemical fiber material. In addition to those that make urine water-retaining mainly between single fibers, or those that are porous bodies such as sponges and urethane sponges that absorb and retain water in their fine pores, high molecular absorption compounds As described above, a substance that contains and retains urine in its molecule by utilizing a chemical reaction can be appropriately selected and used alone or in combination.

The waterproof membrane layer disposed on the outermost surface has a function of preventing urine absorbed by the absorber disposed inside thereof from leaking out, and is a material having appropriate flexibility. Which is, for example, a plastic sheet having plasticity, coated chemical paper or fiber cloth, or a coating layer formed by coating a liquid sealing agent, natural rubber or the like on the surface of the water absorbing body And so on.

[0012] The size adjusting portion improves the handleability when the pad of the present invention is attached to the male penis portion, and prevents the male penis portion from easily falling off after completely covering the male penis portion. It is a part that performs an adjusting function so that it becomes overlapped or wrinkled at one place of the insertion port when it is squeezed using a temporary adhesive material described later, and it is appropriately lengthened from one appropriate point of the insertion port toward the tip direction. The reinforcing membrane layer including the fixing portion, the water absorbing body and the waterproof membrane layer are cut and formed so that As the length of the cut, for example, about 2 to 4 cm in the distal direction from the insertion port is sufficient as a guide, but the size of the urine leakage treatment pad to be formed,
The thickness may be determined to be the optimum length, taking into consideration the thickness of the absorber and the like.

The temporary adhesive material is such that the urine leakage treatment pad is maintained in a state in which the male penis portion is covered and does not easily fall off during movement such as walking. , An elastic body such as a rubber band that can shrink the inner diameter of the hollow part of the insertion port is incorporated into the fixing part so that the male penis can be pinched, or peeled off on the inner surface of the insertion port fixing part Applying a free adhesive material so that it adheres to the outer skin of the male penis, or alternatively, a cord with a length at least the outer circumference of the insertion port is incorporated into the fixing part to treat urine leakage. After attaching the pad for the size adjustment part, either stacking it or pulling it by hand, tie both ends together, or give a suitable temporary attachment means such as a hook or Velcro (trademark),
It is possible to make them into a temporary wearing shape by using them.

[0014]

Other Related Invention In relation to the urine leakage treatment pad having the above-mentioned basic structure of the present invention, the present invention includes a urine leakage treatment pad having the following structure. That is, the portion of the reinforcing membrane layer, which has a closed front end and a rear end serving as an insertion opening, and is formed into a shape capable of encapsulating a male penis, is a predetermined width portion around the insertion opening and serves as a fixing portion. And a water absorbent body is laminated and integrated on the entire outer surface excluding a portion of a predetermined width extending from the fixed portion to a predetermined length in the front end direction and serving as a wrinkled portion, and at least the entire outer surface of the water absorbent body is covered. While covering up with the waterproof membrane layer, the reinforcing membrane layer fixing portion is made to incorporate a temporary adhesive material having a temporary attachment portion positioned near the wrinkle portion, and either one of the wrinkle portions or A size adjusting unit in which a reinforcing film layer including a fixing portion substantially corresponding to both side edges, or a reinforcing film layer including a fixing portion and a waterproofing film layer are cut from the insertion opening portion over a predetermined length in the distal direction. Urine leakage treatment characterized by being formed in It is an putt.

The wrinkle portion is a portion having a predetermined length and a predetermined width extending from one position of the fixing portion toward the front end, and is a size for pulling by hand by using a size adjusting portion which will be described later and covering the male penis portion. It is a part that performs the function of facilitating adjustment, and it must be formed in a structure in which the water absorbing body is not laminated. Therefore, the structure of the wrinkled portion is formed as a single-layer structure of only the reinforcing membrane layer, or the waterproof membrane layer covering the water absorbing body extends directly onto the reinforcing membrane layer,
It is formed as a two-layer structure including the reinforcing membrane layer and the waterproof membrane layer.

In the size adjusting portion, one or both sides of the wrinkling portion described above substantially correspond to the side edges of the wrinkling portion from the insertion opening toward the distal end, and the reinforcing film layer single layer including the fixing portion is formed, or the same. It is formed by cutting the reinforcing film layer and the waterproof film layer in the overlapping state. As a result, when the size is adjusted by the size adjusting unit, the wrinkled portions are overlapped or pulled by hand, and the wrinkled portions of the absorbent body are partially overlapped with each other around the wrinkled portion, so that a gap through which urine leaks is not formed. Realize such wearing. Incidentally, the reinforcing membrane layer, the water absorber,
Also, the structure of each part of the waterproof film layer may be formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

Embodiment 1 The embodiment is the most typical embodiment of the urine leakage treatment pad of the present invention, which is based on the structure described as an invention related to the basic structure of the present invention described above. It shows the embodied urine leakage treatment pad A. As is clearly understood from the overall perspective view of FIG. 1, an enlarged perspective view of an essential part of the usage pattern shown in FIG. 2, and an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of an essential part showing the layer structure of FIG. The reinforcing membrane layer 1 made of a net is used to close the tip and form a cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 2.5 cm and a length of about 6 cm, and the shape is like a test tube. The width of about 1 cm from the outer peripheral edge of the insertion opening 6 is used as the fixing portion 11.

Further, the insertion opening 6 including a part of the fixing portion 11
Of the reinforcing film layer 1 excluding the wrinkle portion 7 and the fixing portion 11 is a portion having a width of about 1 to 2 cm and a length of about 3 cm from the outer peripheral edge to the tip direction. In addition, after stacking papers that are easy to absorb moisture, such as those used in commercially available tissue paper, to a thickness of about 6 mm to form the absorbent body 2, the absorbent body 2 is further formed. The waterproof film layer 3 is formed by covering the entire surface of 2, the fixing portion 11 and the wrinkled portion 7 with the coated paper so that the waterproof portion 3 is completely covered. Then, one of the wrinkle-applying portions 7, that is, the lower side in the figure, is cut from the insertion opening 6 toward the tip end over a length of about 4 cm to form the size adjusting portion 4. On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed portion 11 of the reinforcing film layer 1, a paper string formed to have a width that fits within the width of the fixed portion 11 is adhered to the fixed portion 11 at a portion near the central portion of the fixed portion 11. The temporary bonding material 3 is formed so as to be solidified.

The laminated structure of each layer is realized by forming the reinforcing film layer 1, the water absorbing body 2, and the waterproof film layer 3 into a cylindrical shape and then sequentially stacking them in a fitting shape. ,
Only the reinforcing membrane layer 1 is formed into a tubular shape in advance, and the other one is laminated in a flat plate shape by curving in sequence along the outer surface of the reinforcing membrane layer 1 and further, to the water absorbent body 2. May be treated as a flat plate, and may be laminated and integrated. Alternatively, all of them may be formed into a predetermined laminated structure at a flat plate stage and then curved or bent to form a cylindrical or It is also possible to form them in a shape close to each other.

[Effect] The urine leakage treatment pad of the present invention having the above-described structure can be worn by compactly enclosing only the male penis, and the urine leaked by the absorber disposed in the middle. The absorbed urine is retained in the water absorbent body, and the outer surface of the urine is further protected by the waterproof membrane layer. Even if you take the action of, or even if you wear it for a long time with urine leaking little by little, you can conveniently avoid the situation that it easily leaks to the surrounding and stains clothes etc. To do. Furthermore, as another effect that can be worn and used with only the male penis part covered, it can be said that urine, which is adsorbed in the water absorbent body, does not adhere to parts other than the penis part. As when using a diaper-like pad, the discharged urine spreads over a wide area and adheres to it, causing almost no adverse effects such as skin irritation on weak areas. The effect that it can be used as an object can be enhanced.

In addition, a fixing portion is formed around the insertion opening in a structure in which only a reinforcing film layer or a waterproof film layer is laminated thereon, and a structure in which the thickest absorbent body does not exist at that position is provided. This not only ensures that the male penis is worn, but also keeps the male penis relatively free to move and relieves the discomfort of wearing a urine leakage treatment pad. It also has an effect. Moreover, a temporary adhesive material is incorporated in the fixing portion, which has the advantage that it can be attached and detached to and from the male penis not only by the wearer himself, but also by the caregiver. In addition, it is possible to expose only the male penis part without removing clothes such as pants and briefs that are worn on the lower body one by one, compared to the conventional diaper pad However, it can be excellent in terms of usability.

Further, by adjusting the size adjusting portion, it is possible to fit the male penis around the male penis without causing wrinkles in other parts, so that almost no urine leaks from the root part. It can be made impossible. In particular, in the case where the wrinkled portion is formed at the rear end of this pad, and the size adjustment portion is formed at both ends or one end thereof, both ends desired in the wrinkled portion of the absorbent body overlap each other around the size adjustment portion, It is possible to reliably prevent the leakage of urine from the gap, and it is possible to realize a urine leakage treatment pad that can be used with even more peace of mind.

The urine leakage treatment pad is formed in a size enough to cover the penis, and is provided as an extremely small size as a whole, so that it can be carried in a pocket or the like at any time. It can be easily replaced according to the needs of male patients suffering from urine leakage disorder.
It will be very convenient and easy to use as never before. Moreover, because it is manufactured as a small-sized product for local use, it becomes a cheaper sanitary tool, which is far more economical than the conventional diaper-like pads, and the economic burden is not so great. There is also an advantage that it can be used without using it, which allows frequent replacement, which greatly contributes to the improvement of dirt due to urine leakage.

In particular, in the case of the urine leakage treatment pad having the structure shown in the first embodiment, since the material is mainly composed of paper, the used one is a normal burning refuse. It is possible to incinerate and dispose of temporary materials 3
As a result, a paper cord is adopted, and it has the convenience of use that the tightness of the fixing portion 11 can be finely adjusted according to the size of the wearer's penis, and the raw material is inexpensive. Since it is also easy to manufacture, in addition to the general features described above, a very practical urine leakage treatment pad can be realized.

As described above, the urine leakage treatment pad of the present invention is easy to manufacture and can be provided at a low price, and is very easy to put on and take off. Moreover, it is provided as being comfortable to wear. It is possible and expected to be greatly welcomed not only by many male patients suffering from urinary leakage symptoms, but also by families and nurses who have such persons in their immediate vicinity.
