PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method for plugging rectum of a dead body to prevent postmortem materials in the rectum from leaking out.SOLUTION: The rectum plugging device 1 includes a seal member 2 and an insert member for inserting the seal member 2 into the rectum from the anus of the dead body. The seal member 2 is configured to expand in the rectum. The insert member includes: a plastic-made cylindrical member 3 with a tip end part to be inserted into the anus of the dead body and accommodates the seal member 2 therein a pushing member 7 disposed slidably in the axial direction of the cylinder in the cylindrical member 3 and disposed at one end part of the seal member 2 in the cylindrical member 3 and a rod member 10 provided at a side of the pushing member 7 opposite to the side facing the seal member 2, and moving the pushing member 7 in the axial direction of the cylindrical member 3. A stopper for regulating the insertion distance of the cylindrical member 3 into the rectum to a predetermined distance, is provided in the outer peripheral surface side of an intermediate part in the axial direction of the cylindrical member 3, so that the stopper protrudes outward in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 3 to abut on the anus from outside thereof.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】死後の直腸内物質が遺漏することを防ぐ。【解決手段】直腸閉塞装置1は、封止部材2と、該封止部材2を遺体の肛門から直腸内に挿入する挿入部材とを備えている。封止部材2は、直腸内で膨張するように構成されている。挿入部材は、遺体の肛門へ挿入される挿入先端部を有し且つ内部に上記封止部材2が収容されたプラスチック製の円筒部材3と、上記円筒部材3内を該円筒の軸方向に摺動可能に且つ該円筒部材3内であって上記封止部材2の一方の端部に配設される押部材7と、上記押部材7の上記封止部材2に面した側とは反対側に設けられ、該押部材7を上記円筒部材3の軸方向に移動させるロッド部材10とを有している。円筒部材3の軸方向中間部の外周面側には、該円筒部材3の直腸への挿入距離を所定距離に規制するストッパが、肛門の外方から肛門に当たるように該円筒部材3の径方向外方へ向けて突出するように設けられている。【選択図】図1
