Description

  The present invention relates to a drug application device capable of easily applying a drug as if it were applied with a finger even at a site that is difficult to reach such as the back.

  Drugs such as ointments and creams are usually applied to the affected area with fingers. If the affected area has stiff or muscular pain, do not irritate if the affected area is painful, such as rubbing the drug while pressing the finger firmly to massage, or scratching if the affected area is scratching Apply depending on the condition of the affected area.

  When the affected area is difficult to reach, such as when it is difficult to reach, such as the back, or when the body is not free, it is necessary to borrow another person's hand. However, when other people apply the medicine, it is troublesome because the nurse or caregiver must be called or the position and state of the affected part must be conveyed each time the medicine is applied. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to apply it by yourself even in areas that are difficult to reach.

  Conventionally, as a drug application device for applying a drug to a place where it is difficult to reach by hand, a tool having a roller at the tip of a long arm as in Patent Document 1 or a brush as in Patent Document 2 is used. There is something to have. However, none of them reproduced the same feeling as painting with fingers.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a drug application device capable of applying a drug so as to be applied with his / her finger even in a place where it is difficult to reach.

  In order to solve the above problems, a drug application device of the present invention is a drug application device having a handle at one end of an arm and a drug application part at the other end, and the arm is shaped like a letter. The drug application part is curved, and the drug application part is a substantially oval or substantially oval disk shape having a thickness, and one surface of the approximately oval or approximately oval disk is a drug application surface having a convex curved surface. To do.

  More specifically, when the direction in which the arm looks like a U-shape is the front, each surface of the substantially oval or substantially oval disk faces in the vertical direction, and the lower surface has a convex curved surface. It is a surface.

  The medicine application device of the present invention is easy to apply as compared with a case where the arm is curved in a letter-like shape along the curved surface of the body such as the back and the arm is not curved.

  In addition, the drug application part has a substantially oval disk shape or an approximately oval disk shape with a wall thickness, and one surface of the approximately oval disk or the approximately oval disk is a drug application surface having a convex curved surface. The drug can be applied in the same way as rubbing.

  Furthermore, when the direction in which the arm looks like a square is the front, each surface of the substantially oblong disk or the substantially elliptical disk faces the vertical direction, and the lower surface is a drug application surface having a convex curved surface. Thus, the medicine can be applied more easily in the same manner as the medicine is rubbed with a finger.

It is a perspective view of the instrument for chemical | medical agent application | coating of this invention. It is a figure which shows the example of the cross-sectional shape of the arm of the chemical | medical agent application instrument of this invention. It is a figure which shows the shape of the chemical | medical agent application part of the instrument for chemical | medical agent application | coating of this invention. It is the figure which looked at the instrument for chemical | medical agent application | coating of this invention from the direction which an arm looks like a letter-shaped. It is a figure which shows an example of the use condition of the chemical | medical agent application instrument of this invention.

  A drug application device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a drug application device according to the present invention. The drug application device 1 has a handle 3 at one end of an arm 2 and a drug application unit 4 at the other end. The arm 2 is curved in a U-shape so as to follow a curved surface of the body such as the back. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the cross-sectional shape of the arm 2 is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the function, such as a flat plate shape or a circular shape. In order to give the arm 2 an appropriate degree, it is preferable to form the recess 6 as shown in (c). FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the shape of the medicine application unit 4. The upper part is the direction of the arrow indicated by X in FIG. 1, the middle part is the direction of the arrow indicated by Y, and the lower part is the drug application part 4 as viewed from the direction of the arrow indicated by Z. (a) is viewed from the X direction. The shape is a substantially oval disc shape, and FIG. In both (a) and (b), the width in the longitudinal direction is about 30 mm, the width in the short direction is about 20 mm, and the thickness of the maximum thickness portion is about 5 mm. One surface of the substantially oval or approximately elliptical disk of the drug application unit 4 is a drug application surface 5 which is a surface on which a drug is placed and applied to the body, and the drug application surface 5 is as shown in the middle and lower figures. , (A), (b) both have a convex curved surface like a finger pad. Since the medicine application surface 5 is a convex curved surface, the medicine can be applied in the same manner as the medicine is applied with the finger pad.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the drug application device 1 of the present invention is such that each surface of the substantially oval or substantially oval disk faces up and down when the direction in which the arm 2 looks like a letter is the front. In this case, the lower surface is the drug application surface 5 having a convex curved surface.

  The drug application device of the present invention only needs to have strength and elasticity so that the arm does not bend or bend even if it is strongly pressed, and wood or resin can be used as the material. A particularly suitable material is polypropylene.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the drug application device of the present invention is used by placing the drug on the drug application surface 5 and applying it to the affected part such as the back which is difficult to reach as shown in (b) and (c). The medicine is applied using the medicine application surface 5. Since the arm 2 is bent in a U-shape, the drug application device of the present invention can be used from any direction without being obstructed by the curved surface of the body. For example, as shown in (b), the arm 1 may be raised and the drug application device 1 may be held downward from the back of the neck, or when the shoulder or arm does not rise, etc. Can be used in a posture according to the position of the affected part and the state of the user, such as from below or from the side as in (c). Therefore, it is not necessary to forcibly bend the body in order to apply the medicine even if the body is difficult to use. The medicine can be rubbed by moving it finely up and down and left and right while pressing the medicine application surface 5 against the affected area. When a drug is applied, the affected area can be scratched with the edge of the drug application surface 5 or massaged with the drug application surface 5. If the affected area is painful, use it by placing a drug so that the affected area is not touched.
