Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an examination table for obstetrics and gynecology, urology, etc., which has a crotch support for supporting a patient in a supine position with their legs open.

0002

[Prior Art] This type of conventional obstetrics and gynecology examination table can be used with the patient lying on his or her back, or with the patient's buttocks resting on it, or with a back that can be folded backwards against a seat on which the patient's buttocks are placed. A crotch support is provided in front of the seat, which supports the left and right thighs of the patient separately, in front of the seat that allows the patient to lie down by tilting the backrest down. By moving and fixing the device, the degree of bending of the patient's knees and the extent to which the patient's legs are opened can be adjusted to perform examinations of the patient's private parts, delivery, etc.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In conventional examination tables for obstetrics and gynecology, after a patient climbs onto the examination table and sits on the seat, nurses, doctors, etc. place the patient's left and right thighs on the crotch supports. , the position of the crotch support was adjusted vertically and horizontally. Since each patient has individual differences, such work must be performed for each patient, which has the disadvantage of being time-consuming.

[0004] Furthermore, when adjusting the crotch support, the patient has the opportunity to make eye contact with the doctor or nurse, which may arouse feelings of shame in the patient. Furthermore, when a patient climbs onto the examination table, the patient cannot climb up from the front because there is a crotch holder on the front side of the examination table, but must get on and off from the side. There was also the drawback that the crotch holder got in the way.

[0005] According to the present invention, when a patient climbs onto the examination table, the crotch support becomes part of the seat, thereby making it easier for the patient to get on and off the examination table. Even if a patient sits with their crotches aligned during a medical examination, the crotch holder is mechanically moved to bend the patient's knees and open their crotches. The purpose is to eliminate work, reduce the risk of eye contact between the patient and the doctor or nurse, relieve the patient's tension, and provide psychological relief.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is a means for an obstetrics and gynecology examination table to achieve the above-mentioned object. A seat provided on the lower front side on which at least the buttocks rest, a crotch support forming a surface continuous to the seat on the front side of the seat, and crotch support moving means for raising and opening the crotch support outward. By providing this, the purpose is achieved.

[0007] The crotch rest moving means is preferably provided between the armrest and the seat, in which the crotch rest is supported so as to be able to rise and fall on the seat, or is connected to a backrest that can be folded down. Furthermore, the backrest may be shaped to also serve as a part of the seat, and may be omitted as a separate seat from the backrest.

[0008]

[Function] In the obstetrics and gynecology examination table of the present invention, the crotch support, which forms a surface continuous with the seat on the front side of the seat, is moved upward and outward by the operation of the crotch support moving means. The patient's thighs are automatically lifted when the patient's buttocks are seated on the seat, and the knees are bent, and the thighs are spread outwards to take the examination position.

[0009]

[Embodiment] Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in FIGS. 1 to 6.
I will explain about it. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a seat portion having dimensions in the front and rear direction such that only the patient's buttocks can be placed on it, and a backrest 2 is provided behind the seat portion 1 so as to be foldable by conventionally known means. On the left and right sides of the seat part 1, armrests 4, each having a crotch support 3 on the front end side, are pivotally supported by a shaft 5 so as to be able to rise and fall.

A cylinder 6 is located between the armrest 4 and the seat 1.
When the cylinder 6 is in the extended state, the armrest 4 is in the upright state as shown in FIG. It is located on the extension surface. Therefore, the crotch supports 3 become a part of the seat 1, and when the patient sits down to rest his or her buttocks on the seat 1, both of the patient's thighs are automatically placed on the left and right crotch supports 3.

When the cylinder 6 is in the contracted state, the armrest 4 is in an inclined state as shown in FIG. It is moved to the outside. Therefore, the knees of the patient placed on the left and right crotch supports 3 are raised, and the patient's legs are kept open.

[0012] Since the operation of the cylinder 6 can be controlled remotely, there is no need to perform it in front of the patient, which reduces the possibility of eye contact between the doctor or nurse and the patient, and prevents the patient from feeling embarrassed. It disappears. In addition, by adjusting the degree of contraction of the cylinder 6, it is possible to change the degree to which the crotch support 3 rises and opens.
You can adjust the opening.

[0013] In the front of the seat part 1 on which the buttocks are seated,
Since the crotch support 3 does not stand up in the way, it not only makes it easier for the patient to sit down from the front side of the examination table, but also allows doctors and nurses to place the patient's crotch on the crotch support and manually move it. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the lower part of the backrest 2 of the first embodiment supports the back half of the patient's buttocks and is attached to the seat 1. There is no seat part 1 in the patient's private parts or the lower part of the anus, which is in an open state.

The crotch support 3 and armrest 4 are constructed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, and when a patient sits on this examination table, the back half of the buttocks is placed under the backrest 2, and the first half of the buttocks is placed on both the left and right sides. By placing the patient's crotch on the crotch support 3 and sitting down, the patient's private parts and the area below the anus are opened, and the patient can sit in the same way as sitting on a normal chair.

[0016] By tilting the backrest 2 backward and operating the cylinder 9, the patient's left and right knees can be bent and the patient can be placed in an examination posture with their legs spread, as in the previous embodiment. However, since the patient's private parts, the lower side of the anus, are open during this examination, there is no need to move the seat 1 away from this part.

In this embodiment, if the waste water tray is set in advance under the opening, there is no need to set it after the patient takes the examination position, which reduces the examination time and saves time for doctors and nurses. This reduces the chances of eye contact between women and patients.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. In this embodiment, as in the previous embodiment, a backrest 2 is provided on the back side of the seat on which the patient rests his buttocks.
is attached so that it can be folded down. A crotch support 3 that supports both left and right thighs of the patient is provided on the inside of the front end of an armrest 4 so as to be flush with the seat 3, and the armrest 4 is attached to the backrest 2 so that it can be expanded left and right. ing.

Therefore, when the backrest 2 falls backward, the front side of the armrest 4 rises, and the crotch support 3 also rises with respect to the seat 1 in accordance with the rise. The backrest 2 is provided with a support shaft 7, on which a rotating rod 8 connected to the left and right armrests 4, respectively, is supported. A connecting rod 10, which is pivotally supported by a cylinder 9, is connected between the connecting portion of the armrest 4 and the backrest 2.

Therefore, when the cylinder 9 contracts, the continuous rod 1
0, the rotation rod 8 is pulled, and the rotation rod 8 is expanded to the left and right around the support shaft 7. Therefore, the armrest 4 can be rotated left and right around the shaft 11 that is pivotally supported on the backrest 2. open to the outside. As a result of this operation of the cylinder 9 and the backward tilting of the backrest 3, the crotch support 3 is in a raised position with respect to the seat 1 and expanded laterally.

[0021] Therefore, if a patient sits on this examination table and places his/her thighs on the crotch support 3 even with both legs closed, the backrest 2 will fall backwards and the cylinder 9 will move. By the above-mentioned movement of the crotch support 3, the patient's left and right thighs are opened to the left and right with the patient's knees bent, and the patient automatically shifts to the examination posture.

[0022]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention allows the crotch support to be approximately flush with the seat when the patient stands on the examination table.
The crotch support becomes a part of the seat, and the crotch support does not get in the way when you sit on it, and you can sit on it from the front side of the examination table in the same way as you would sit on an ordinary chair.

Therefore, even if the height of the examination table is high, there is no need to sit in an awkward position from the side as with conventional examination tables, making it easier to get on and off the examination table, and at the same time relieving the patient's nervousness. can provide psychological relief to the patient.

[0024] Then, by the movement of the crotch support moving means such as the backrest falling backwards and the movement of the crotch opening cylinder, the patient's knees are bent by raising the crotch support and the crotch support is expanded to the left and right. Since the crotch opening motion can be performed automatically, the patient does not have to do the embarrassing motion of bending his/her knees, opening his/her thighs, and resting his/her crotch on the crotch support, allowing the patient to smoothly transition to the examination state. be able to.

At the same time, doctors and nurses placed the patient's crotch on the crotch holder and adjusted the position of the crotch holder to adjust the bending of the patient's knees and the extent to which the patient's legs were opened. Since this can be done by adjusting the end position of the moving means, it is possible to easily adapt to individual differences among patients.

[0026] Furthermore, since there is no need to manually adjust the crotch rest with the patient's legs spread apart and placed on the crotch rest, the chances of eye contact between the patient's eyes and the doctor's or nurse's eyes can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the risk of arousing feelings of shame, and also to reduce the time and effort required to manually operate the crotch support position.
