PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that conventionally provided waterproof covers for a diseased part attachable/detachable with one hand when used by a patient taking shower or washing are very few and thus require more aid by caregivers, nurses, etc., thereby becoming a remote cause of a burden to medical workers and an increase in medical costs.SOLUTION: This waterproof tool for a human body part includes: a flange-shaped flat part in contact with skin, which is made of an elastic material with good adhering property and has a hollow portion with bottom surface opening for covering the part requiring waterproofing and a band connected to the both sides of the flange-shaped flat part with hook and loop fasteners respectively attached at the tip ends. According to this structure, waterproofing property can be kept since the hollow portion with the bottom surface opening surely adheres to the skin due to the elasticity and flexibility of the composing material. In addition, it can be attached/detached by a patient himself/herself, thereby becoming very useful.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 従来提供されてきた、患者がシャワー入浴や水洗の際に使用する疾病患部用の防水カバーは、片手で装着、脱去ができるものが極めて少なく、介護者、看護師等の介助が必要となるものが多く、医療従事者の負担や医療コストの上昇の遠因にもなっていた。【解決手段】 本発明の人体部位防水具は、上記課題を解決するために、防水必要部位を被覆する下面開口中空部を設けた密着性の良い弾性材料により構成された皮膚に接触する鍔状平坦部と、先端に面ファスナーがそれぞれ装着され、鍔状平坦部の両側に連結したバンドにより構成される。このように構成した事により下面開口中空部は構成材料の弾性と柔軟性により確実に皮膚に密着して防水性の維持が実現できる。又、患者本人自身の操作で脱着が可能となり極めて有効である。【選択図】図2
