Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diaper cover for preventing pressure ulcers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The sick and bedridden elderly people use diapers to treat excrement, but if they cannot change their position while lying down, urine absorbed by the diapers will not It keeps steaming around the sacrum above the coccygeal bone, making it easier to develop rashes and pressure sores, so-called bedsores. JP-B-61-36264 discloses a disposable diaper having a waterproof layer on one side of a water-absorbing layer and a water-resistant water-permeable layer on the other surface. An edge of the waterproof sheet and the waterproof layer are joined together, and a paper diaper characterized by forming a pocket portion whose outer surface is surrounded by the waterproof sheet and the waterproof layer on one edge in the longitudinal direction. It is proposed that urine or the like absorbed in the water-absorbing layer does not leak or wet or stain the wearer's skin.

[0003]

However, the disposable diapers described above are uneconomical because they require a waterproof layer to be applied to each disposable diaper, regardless of whether they are disposable, and the waterproof layer absorbs sweat. There is a problem that urine that falls along the crotch part flows out onto the waterproof layer and touches the wearer's skin, causing discomfort and causing pressure ulcers and the like.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a laminate in which a waterproof sheet is provided on the inner surface of the upper half of the diaper cover, a waterproof sheet is provided on the diaper cover side, and a pad having excellent hygroscopicity and air permeability is provided on the front side. Attach only the upper end as a stop point, so that the upper half of the diaper material such as urine absorbing pad to be attached to the inner surface of the diaper cover is sandwiched between the waterproof sheet and the diaper cover from a free portion excluding the upper end of the waterproof sheet. In order to solve such a problem by isolating the upper half of the diaper material from the wearer's body with a waterproof sheet, thereby providing a comfortable wearing feeling and preventing the occurrence of pressure sores. It was.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A waterproof sheet 3 is provided on the inner side of the upper half of a horizontally long portion 2a of a waterproof diaper cover 1 with a pad 4 having excellent moisture absorption and air permeability on the side of the diaper cover 1. The stacked body 5 is attached with a stop point 6 provided only at the upper end, and the upper half of the diaper material 7 such as a cloth or urine absorbing pad to be laid on the inner surface of the vertically long portion 2b of the diaper cover 1 is formed of a free waterproof sheet 3. Waterproof sheet 3 and diaper cover 1 from the bottom
It is pinched between the inner surfaces of the. 1a is a folded edge at the upper end of the diaper cover 1.

[0006] When the diaper cover having the above structure is pressed against the sacrum of the wearer, such as a sick person lying on a bed, the urine of the wearer is absorbed into the diaper material 7, but the waterproof sheet is provided. Even if urine that has wrapped around the lower part of the diaper 3 oozes out of the diaper material 7 due to the weight of the wearer, it will not be blocked by the waterproof sheet 3 and wet or dirty the skin. . In addition, since the front side of the waterproof sheet 3 is overlaid with the pad 4 having excellent hygroscopicity and air permeability, the sweat of the wearer can be absorbed, and a dry and clean state can be maintained. This means that the onset of pressure ulcer can be prevented.
When the diaper material 7 becomes dirty, only the diaper material 7 is removed from the diaper cover 1 and replaced with a new diaper material 7.

FIG. 3 shows a handle 5a. This is an example in which the diaper 5b is provided, and when the diaper cover 1 is attached to a wearer who is lying down or when the dirty diaper material 7 is exchanged, it is possible to extend the handle portions 5a, 5b with both hands. By doing so, it is possible to eliminate the discomfort such as twisting and overlapping caused during mounting or replacement and easily rubbing even when the weight of the wearer is applied. When the lower end of the laminated body 5 is formed by the crushed fit line 5c, the step between the diaper material 7 and the diaper cover 1 is eliminated, so that the skin contact can be improved.

Further, by providing a notch 5d in a semicircular shape or the like for avoiding the vicinity of the coccyx which is the lowest position when lying down below the center of the laminated body 5, the coccyx lowers the coccyx. The urine that falls from the vicinity flows all over the diaper material 7 exposed in the notch 5d and is absorbed, so that it is possible to prevent the urine from flowing down onto the laminate 5.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the laminated body 5 is prepared separately from the diaper cover 1. When the laminated body 5 is used by providing a mounting piece 5e such as a double-sided tape on the upper end thereof.
It is attached to. In addition to the diaper cover that can be replaced by washing, the laminated body 5 can be freely attached to and detached from ordinary disposable diaper covers that are commercially available or provided by municipalities, etc., or a paper diaper that is also used as a cover.
When the disposable diaper cover and the disposable diaper are replaced, the disposable diaper can be reused several times. Note that a commercially available / supplied urine absorbing pad may be used for the laminate 5.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the upper part of the diaper material mounted is sandwiched between the waterproof sheet of the laminate and the inner surface of the diaper cover and is waterproofed and isolated, urine exuding from the diaper material is prevented. Without touching the skin around the sacrum, etc., it also absorbs sweat and can keep it dry and clean,
The effect that the onset of pressure ulcer and the like can be surely prevented together with the comfort of wearing is produced.

By providing the handle portions on the left and right sides of the laminate, it is possible to easily eliminate twisting and overlapping that occur during mounting and the like.

By providing a fit line, a step is eliminated, and by providing a cutout below the center of the laminate, all the urine falling down the crotch is absorbed by the diaper material to prevent the surface of the laminate from getting wet and soiled. This has the effect of preventing it.
