Description

  The present invention relates to clothes for people who are difficult to change their clothes by themselves, such as sick persons and persons with physical disabilities, and persons who need to place an electrocardiogram or a catheter for medical purposes.

  Although medical and nursing clothes are still not in circulation, clothes that use hook-and-loop fasteners and snap hooks instead of buttons have been devised for the purpose of facilitating the changing of sick and disabled people. Some have changed the button part of normal clothes to a hook-and-loop fastener, and some have an opening and closing part on the left and right side parts from the shoulder to the sleeve.

  Sick people often need to change their clothes not only in the daytime but rather in dark places such as late at night due to fever and excretion. In such a case, the nursing clothes according to the prior art, which have many open / close parts and split apart, take time to put the parts together as if to match the puzzle, and it takes a long time to change clothes. It has been a pain for both the care recipient and the caregiver. Also, conventional nursing clothes such as armpits that open and close on the side of the body have a foreign body sensation every time they roll over, and hit the fasteners to cause pain.

  Among the clothes related to the prior art using the hook-and-loop fastener, particularly in the underwear, the hook-and-loop fastener is directly attached to the cloth of the underwear, so that the cloth is weakened by washing and the rough adhesive surface of the hook-and-loop fastener is exposed. It comes in direct contact with the skin, hurting the skin and causing discomfort. In addition to discomfort, there is also concern that some infections may cause unexpected infections from a few scars on the skin.

  In addition, although nursing clothes according to the prior art have a large opening / closing part, they are not designed to take into account the placement of electrocardiograms or medical catheters. It gives a lot of stress to the sick because they are stiff and tangled inside. In particular, monitor electrocardiograms and catheters attached for observing a 24-hour medical condition do not come off the sick person's body every day for 24 hours.

  In addition, the following patent documents 1 and 2 can be mentioned as a well-known technique regarding this invention.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  As described above, the care clothes according to the prior art are effective when the caregiver is healthy with sufficient light and changing clothes over time, but the dark place or the caregiver is not healthy. Then, it has not led to shortening the time for changing clothes. If it takes a long time to change clothes when it is necessary to change clothes due to fever at night, etc., it will lead to extra physical exhaustion of the sick and will also disturb sleep. For critically ill patients and bedridden sick people, changing clothes is a heavy burden, so it is necessary to change clothes as quickly as possible. Furthermore, care-giving clothes according to the prior art are not designed in consideration of placement of electrocardiograms, etc., so electrocardiogram tubes are often entangled when changing clothes, which also increases the dressing time. The sick person is uncomfortable because the electrocardiogram tube and the adhesive surface such as a hook-and-loop fastener come into contact with the skin.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide the opening / closing part of the clothing with a function that allows easy distinction between left and right and parts by visual and tactile sense, as well as an electrocardiogram and a catheter. In consideration of the position of the tube and the like, the opening and closing place is designed so that it is easy to perform such processing so that dressing can be performed more quickly. Furthermore, processing is performed so that the adhesive surface of fasteners such as hook-and-loop fasteners do not touch the skin due to the weakness of the fabric, reducing the burden on the sick, etc., and comfortable clothes for both the cared person and the carer such as the sick It is to provide.

Means for solving the problem

  The simple attachment / detachment garment of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object creates an opening / closing part in consideration of the position of the electrocardiogram electrode attached to the chest and the location of the blood vessel or bladder balloon catheter where the catheter is often inserted. In consideration of the position of the chest electrocardiogram, the top of the present invention creates the opening / closing part 2 so as to open and close from the center of the body to the left side surface near the groove. Thereby, the front body 1 becomes asymmetrical. In addition, all the opening / closing sections are made large in front of the body of the person who is dressed for the purpose of easily changing clothes and not giving a foreign body feeling even if a sick person rolls over. These open / close locations can be attached and detached using fasteners such as hook-and-loop fasteners having different shapes and colors depending on the open / close portions such as the right sleeve and the left chest.

  In addition to the hook-and-loop fastener, a snap hook, a magnetic button, or other fasteners that distinguish shapes such as the above-described shapes and colors may be used for joining the opening and closing portions.

  The front body 1 is marked with an uneven mark 8 so that it can be distinguished from the top, bottom, left and right.

  In addition, the bottoms opening and closing part of the present invention is greatly opened from the crotch to the opening and closing part on the front surface of the leg as shown in FIG.

  When attaching a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener to the opening and closing part of the garment of the present invention, a soft and strong base 44 is made from the cloth of the garment as shown in FIG. The position is not along the edge of the undergarment, but the facing portion 45 is enlarged and attached inside. Further, the facing portion 45 and the cloth ends such as the cuffs, the neckline, and the hem are not turned back to the surface that touches the skin like normal clothes, that is, the back side, but are turned back to the front side. In addition, when attaching a lining, there is no need to return it because there is no step to the skin.

The invention's effect

  As described above, according to the present invention, the opening / closing part is designed in consideration of the position of the electrocardiogram electrodes attached to the entire chest surface and the puncture location of the catheter. Even if the catheter is inserted into the left or right arm, below the clavicle, or the thigh, or when urinating with a bladder balloon catheter, Opening and closing part on the front of the body and opening and closing part 24 applied to the leg from the crotch can be taken out of the clothes at the shortest distance, so that the pain of the sick is relieved and stress is relieved, and the catheter inserted in the thigh And the bladder balloon catheter can be taken out from different locations, so it is excellent in terms of hygiene.

  In addition, by arranging all the opening and closing parts in front of the body of the sick, that is, in front of the caregiver, the caregiver can easily take care of changing clothes and excretion, and the sick person can also turn over. There is no foreign body sensation or pain even in the case of gestation, and it is possible to change clothes with little movement when changing clothes, and even in the case of ultrasonography of the chest and abdomen, the patient does not move and clothes are not taken off. You can get an inspection just by opening the necessary part.

  In addition, by making the front body 1 asymmetrical, the left and right can be discriminated intuitively when changing clothes, and the closure of the opening and closing part is colored for each opening and closing part such as the right sleeve and the left front body. Since fasteners with different shapes are used, the attachment position of the fasteners can be easily distinguished by visual and tactile senses. Therefore, even when changing clothes at night or in a dim place, or even if the caregiver does not have normal vision, it is possible to easily identify the joint portion of the clothes even by tactile sensation. Moreover, since the attachment position of the fastener is bordered by a soft and strong base, there is an effect of preventing the adhesion surface from being exposed due to the weakness of the fabric, and the burden and discomfort of the sick can be reduced.

  When the base of the attachment position is made, the cloth end of the garment is returned to the front side so that there is no step on the surface that touches the skin, and the burden on the skin can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  The wearable clothes of the present invention are intended to be worn by caregivers who are difficult to change by themselves, such as sick persons who need to place an electrocardiogram or catheter, bedridden sick persons, seriously disabled persons, and physically handicapped persons. Opening and closing of Fig. 1 (A) for the purpose of facilitating replacement, preventing foreign body sensation and pain from turning over, and facilitating removal of ECG and catheter tubes from clothing. As shown by the parts 2 to 7 and the opening and closing parts 21 to 24 in FIG. 1B, all the opening and closing parts are designed to open on the front surface of the body of the person to be dressed.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the shape and color of fasteners such as hook-and-loop fasteners are, for example, rectangular and red for the right sleeve opening and closing part 15, triangular and red for the right front body opening and closing part 13, and left sleeve. The opening / closing part 14 is circular and blue, the left front body opening / closing part is triangular blue 12, the right leg opening / closing part 31 is star-shaped red, the left leg opening / closing part 32 is elliptical blue, and the right side is Red, blue on the left, rectangular on the right sleeve, round on the left sleeve, triangle on the front body, star on the right leg, ellipse on the left leg, etc. Affix them separately for each part according to certain rules. Since the front body 1 has a left-right asymmetric shape, it is considered that if the fasteners such as hook-and-loop fasteners are different only in color, there is no problem in distinguishing left and right without changing the shape. These combinations of shapes and colors are only examples, and other shapes and colors may be combined.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 (A) 8, the front body 1 can be tactile by attaching a tuck to the upper or lower part of only one of the left and right sides, or marking it with unevenness such as embroidery, applique or pockets. Just make a distinction between left and right and up and down.

  1 and 4 in FIG. 1 are opening and closing portions provided on the front surface of the arm, and 6 and 7 continuing from the opening and closing portion are designed to be opened and closed under the clavicle and open and close the catheter inserted in the subclavian vein. The parts 6 and 7 can be taken out of the clothes. When an infusion or the like is placed in the peripheral blood vessel of the arm, the infusion tube can be directly taken out from the open / close portions 4 and 5 of the arm.

  An electrocardiogram requires at most 10 electrodes, of which 6 electrodes are applied to the chest. The number of electrodes may be reduced depending on the examination contents such as monitor ECG, and the place where the chest electrode is applied varies depending on the number of electrodes, but both are attached to the position surrounding the heart, and the left and right subclavian bones are sandwiched between the sternums. Many others are installed from the left chest to the left waist. Accordingly, since all the chest electrode wires can be directly taken out of the clothing from the left front body opening / closing portion 2 and the right front body opening / closing portion 3 of FIG. 1 (A), the wires are tangled or stiff in the clothing. The discomfort of the sick person is eliminated and the clothes can be changed quickly and smoothly.

  FIGS. 1 (B) 21 and 22 are open / close portions on the front surfaces of the left and right legs, and are located slightly inside the center of the legs. When inserting a catheter into the femoral vein, the catheter is inserted inside the base of the thigh so that the tube can be easily taken out from the open / close portions of these 21 and 22. Furthermore, by making the opening / closing part so that it opens widely from the crotch part to the opening / closing part 22 of the leg as shown in 24 to 23, even when a bladder balloon catheter is required, the balloon catheter is bent, Without passing through, it is possible to go straight out of clothes from the urethra, reducing patient pain and discomfort, and removing the catheter inserted into the femoral vein and the bladder balloon catheter from separate locations It is very good in terms of hygiene. Further, since it is fully opened as shown in FIG. 3, it is easy to take care of excretion when wearing a diaper.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line Q-Q ′ of FIG. When attaching a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener, when attaching the fastener 41 which is on the skin side when it is joined, that is, on the lower side, take a facing portion 45 at the cloth end of the garment as shown in FIG. A quilted fabric or a thick fabric is put in the core 42 to make a soft and durable base 44. A fastener 41 such as a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to a position where a sufficient turning portion 45 is taken from the end to the inside. The side of the opening / closing part containing the core does not turn up even after washing, and the fasteners such as hook-and-loop fasteners are exposed and can be prevented from touching the skin.

  Since there is a large turning 45 as described above, there is no problem even if the fastener 46 that is on the upper side when joined is directly attached to the fabric without contact with the skin. In addition, by changing the attachment method on the upper side and lower side of the joint, you can immediately see that there is a foundation and that the thicker side will be lower, which is effective in shortening the dressing time is there.

  It should be noted that normal clothing is often folded and sewn on the back side, that is, the surface that touches the skin, which is the edge of the fabric, but the care clothes of the present invention are worn by people with weak skin such as sick people. Since the case is assumed, the cloth end 44 is returned to the front surface and finished flat so that there is no step on the surface that touches the skin so as not to put a burden on the skin as much as possible.

  The present invention relates to clothes for sick people and physically handicapped people, but sudden fever of children and infants often occurs at night, and can be sufficiently applied to changing clothes. It can be applied to all garments such as underwear for children and adults, pajamas, room clothes, outing clothes, and inspection clothes, with the same cutting and ingenuity.
