PURPOSE:To prevent a penis from sweating even in prolonged wearing by forming a cylinder to fit on the penis and a part of the cylinder is made up of an unwoven cloth to cover the stem of the penis so that a urine discharge tube can contact the pipe of the cylinder. CONSTITUTION:A cylinder 1 is made up of an unwoven cloth as a whole and a part 4 thereof covering the stem 3 of a penis is formed roughly into a cylinder to fit an outer diameter of the penis 2 and the tip part 6 covering the glans 5 thereof is constricted gradually to be formed into a dome. An opening 7 is provided at the tip thereof to allow connection to a urine discharge tube. The unwoven cloth herein usable is, for example, a polyurethane based on a mesh of 50g/m<2>, a stretching diameter of 440%, warp of 490% and a thickness of 190nmum. As the cylinder to be fitted onto the penis is made up of the unwoven cloth, the penis can be prevented from sweating even in prolonged wearing of an excellent breathing property of the unwoven cloth. This eliminates discomfort and itching, thereby making the penis free from other troubles such as rashing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a urinary device for treating the urination of male patients with urinary incontinence or men who are bedridden and unable to move.

[Conventional technology]

Patients who are urinary incontinent or bedridden and unable to move cannot control urination voluntarily, so they must find some way to manage urination.The first conventional method is to guide a catheter through the urethra into the bladder. , a method of coupling the outer end of the catheter to a urinary container. The disadvantages of this method are that leaving the catheter in place for a long period of time can cause pain, can lead to infections within the bladder, and can severely restrict the user's movements. The second method involves placing a sheath-like part larger than the user's penis over the penis and securing it to the body using a belt, but it is time-consuming to put on.
It also has the disadvantage that it is bulky and stands out even when worn over clothes. The third method is to wear a diaper,
Diapers are bulky and restrict movement, making them extremely uncomfortable for people with urinary incontinence who can move around, and when used by bedridden people, there are problems with skin irritation due to stuffiness and diaper changes by caregivers. be.

The fourth method is to use a condom-shaped urinary device, usually called an external catheter, which is a thin tube-shaped condom at the end.The condom is placed over the penis, and the end of the condom is It connects the tube to the urinary bag.

This method is very easy to install, is unobtrusive because it is not bulky, does not restrict movement, and does not involve inserting a catheter into the bladder, so there is no risk of infection. At times, it may not feel comfortable to wear, etc.
It has various advantages over the previous champion. There are four problems with this condom-type urinary device:

(1) The penis becomes sore.

(2) The tip of the condom collapses due to negative pressure after urination, blocking the urinary tract.

(3) The tip of the condom gets twisted and obstructs flow.

(4) The condom slips off more easily than the penis.

Among these problems, various solutions have been proposed and put into practical use for (2) to (4), but (1)
Although this is the biggest problem, no effective solution has yet been found.In other words, conventional condom-shaped urinals are all made of latex from the viewpoint of adhesion to the penis and fluid tightness. If you put it on your penis, it will get stuffy because it is not breathable, causing discomfort and itching, and in severe cases, it will cause a rash.If you use double-sided tape or an adhesive applied to the inner wall of the condom to fix the penis, it will get stuffy. When you sweat, the adhesive becomes more likely to peel off, which can cause problems such as the condom coming off.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a male urinary device that does not cause the penis to become stuffy even when worn for a long time.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the male urinary device of the present invention is formed into a cylindrical body that fits over the penis, a portion of the cylindrical body that covers at least the stem of the penis is formed of a nonwoven fabric, and a tip of the cylindrical body is formed of a nonwoven fabric. The urinary tube can be connected to the urinary tube.

As the nonwoven fabric, it is most preferable to use a nonwoven fabric made of a thermoplastic elastomer in order to obtain elasticity. Examples of the thermoplastic elastomer include polystyrene, polyolefin, polyurethane, polyester, polyamide, and vinyl chloride. Non-woven fabrics can be produced by a direct spinning method in which these resin strands are made into a sheet at the same time, such as the so-called spunbond method, flash spinning method, melt blown method, or a combination thereof. A particularly preferred nonwoven fabric is a polyurethane-based one, such as the trade name "Espansione" manufactured by Kanebo Co., Ltd.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the stem part of the penis, which is particularly prone to sweating, is covered with a part of the cylinder made of non-woven fabric, and the good breathability of the non-woven fabric suppresses the scent of the stem part, and the elasticity of the non-woven fabric suppresses the smell of the stem part. This allows the cylinder to be held in close contact with the penis.

〔Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1A and 1B to FIGS. 4A and 4B are side views and longitudinal cross-sectional views of different embodiments of the present invention in the installed state, respectively, and the same parts are given the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 1a and 1b, 1 is a cylindrical body made entirely of non-woven fabric, and the part 4 covering the penile stem 3 has a substantially cylindrical shape and covers the glans penis 5 so as to fit the outer diameter of the penis 2. Tip part 6
is gradually narrowed into a dome shape, and an open lower portion is provided at its tip, to which a urinary tube (not shown) can be connected.

As the nonwoven fabric, for example, a polyurethane-based product under the trade name "Espansione" (manufactured by Kanebo Co., Ltd.) with a basis weight of 50 g/bore, an elongation diameter of 440%, a weft of 490%, and a thickness of 190 μm can be used. The cylindrical body 1 may be formed into a cylindrical shape by welding a nonwoven fabric sheet using a high-frequency welder, an ultrasonic welder, etc., or may be integrally formed using a heat press. It can also be processed.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the cylinder 1 has a shape corresponding to the penis like that in FIG. The tip portion 6 covering the glans 5 is made of latex rather than non-woven fabric, and due to the good elasticity and water resistance of latex, the tip portion 6 securely grips the glans 5 and prevents the cylinder l from slipping. Prevents urinary backflow and leakage.

As the nonwoven fabric, the same one as shown in FIG. 1 can be used, and as the latex, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurethane, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, etc. can be used.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the part 4 of the barrel 1 that covers the penile stalk 3 is made of a nonwoven fabric, similar to that in FIG.
The tip of this portion 4 further extends to cover a part of the glans 5 as well. The tip of the cylinder 1 is made of latex, similar to that shown in FIG. 2, and is joined to the part 4 by overlapping it near the root of the glans 5. Alternatively, only the entire area near the root of the glans 5 can be coated with the urethane liquid. The distal end portion 6 is slightly inwardly recessed at the portion 8 facing the root of the glans 5 to reduce its inner diameter, thereby applying an appropriate compressive force to the root of the glans 5, thereby preventing the displacement of the cylinder 1 and preventing urination. Prevents backflow and leakage. With this structure, not only the penile stalk but also the glans comes into contact with the nonwoven fabric, providing a good wearing feeling.

The same nonwoven fabric and latex as shown in FIG. 2 can be used for the cylinder.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the barrel 1 has a penile stalk 3
It is composed of a part 9 made of nonwoven fabric and having a length enough to cover both the glans 5 and a tip part 10 separate from the part 9 and made of latex so as to cover only the glans 5. To put it on, first insert the part 9 of the cylinder l onto the penis stem 3, and also roll up the distal part 11 that covers the glans 5 onto the penis stem 3. Next, the tip portion 10 of the cylinder 1 is inserted between the glans 5 and its foreskin 12, and the foreskin 12 is removed.
The distal end portion 11 of the portion 9 rolled up above is pulled down, and the distal end portion 11 is used to clamp and fix the distal end portion 10 between the foreskin 12 and the glans 5.

The distal portion 10 has an opening 13 to which a urinary tube can be connected. As for the image part 9 of the cylinder 1, the lO nonwoven fabric, and the latex, the same ones as those shown in FIG. 2 can be used.

According to this structure, the tip portion 10 of the cylindrical body 1 has good elasticity of latex itself and the portion 90 overlapped thereon.
Due to its elasticity, it is gripped by the glans 5 and can prevent slipping, backflow of urine, and leakage, and the part 9 of the cylinder inserted on the penile stalk 3 can be prevented from becoming dirty with urine without being removed. Only the tip part 10 of the win can be removed from the glans and cleaned or replaced.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the cylindrical body to be fitted over the penis is made of non-woven fabric, the penis will not become irritated even if worn for a long time due to the excellent breathability of the non-woven fabric, thus reducing discomfort and itching. It does not cause irritation, rashes, or other problems, and the soft touch of non-woven fabric makes it extremely comfortable to wear, and since the non-woven fabric is made of a material with excellent elasticity, it is securely fixed on the penis. , there will be no accidents such as falling off during use.
