DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrotherapy device for relieving stiffness of an affected part of a human body by applying a treatment current from a conductor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of electrotherapy device is provided in a therapy device such as an energizing pad, a guide cover, and a storage device as described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3024148 (A61N1 / 04). Formed with a material containing an antibacterial agent,
It is known to provide a clean device with less infection.

However, when a container containing the above-mentioned antibacterial agent is used, when the sticky lead is attached to the container, the lead is hardly peeled off due to the adhesive force of the gel, and the antibacterial agent is added. As a result, there is a problem that the guide has an antibacterial action, but is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Conventionally, in order to make it easy for the sticky conductor to be peeled off from the housing, a release sheet coated with silicon is provided on the surface of the housing where the conductor is attached, and the conductor is attached thereon. It is generally known that the lead is easily peeled off from the storage tool when used.

[0005] Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a release sheet on a container formed of a resin that has been subjected to antibacterial treatment. However, if a release sheet is attached to the conductor attachment surface of the container,
The conductor touches only the sheet that has not been treated with antibacterial treatment.
Since the antimicrobial agent does not exist in the portion where the guide touches, there is a problem that the guide in which the most germs propagate does not have an antibacterial action and is unsanitary.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has as its object to provide an easy-to-use electrotherapy device capable of performing a clean treatment and improving the detachment of a conductor. .

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a main body for outputting a therapeutic current, a conductor electrically connected to the main body and having an adhesive property and applied to a human body to flow the therapeutic current, And a storage device for attaching and storing a conductor, wherein the storage device is compounded with an antibacterial agent and the surface of the storage device is subjected to a release treatment.

[0008] The surface of the storage device is characterized in that it is formed in a rough surface and is subjected to a primer treatment.

When the electrotherapy device of the present invention is used, the treatment is performed by removing the conductor from the storage device, attaching the conductor to the body, and flowing the treatment current output from the main body to the body. Then, when the treatment is completed, the guide is removed from the body, and the paste is stored in a storage device. At this time, since an antibacterial agent is blended in the container, germs attached to the human body do not propagate during the storage of the guide. Further, when the use is started from the stored state, the surface of the storage device is subjected to the release treatment, so that the storage device can be easily removed.

[0010] With the above configuration, when the guide is stored in the storage device, the storage device contains an antimicrobial agent. Very clean. In addition, peeling treatment on the storage tool surface,
For example, it is easy to peel off because it has been roughened or treated with a primer.

Further, a main body for outputting a therapeutic current, a conductor electrically connected to the main body and having an adhesive property, which is adhered to a human body to flow a therapeutic current, and a conductor which is adhered and stored. The storage device is characterized in that an antibacterial agent is compounded in the storage device, and a sheet having a plurality of holes having releasability and formed on the surface of the storage device is attached to the storage device.

The total area of the holes in the sheet is smaller than the total area of the portions having releasability other than the holes.

With the above-described structure, when the treatment is completed and the guide is stored, the guide is attached to the sheet of the storage tool and stored, and when used, the guide is easily peeled off due to the peelability of the sheet. I can do it. Also, during storage, the lead contacts the part of the sheet except for the hole, and the part with the hole is in contact with the antibacterial treated resin through the hole or in the atmosphere without touching the outside air. When the conductor is peeled off, it is easy to peel off, and at the time of storage, it is clean by an antibacterial storage device.

In addition to the primer treatment, when an antibacterial agent to be applied to the conductor 4 to make it easy to peel off from the housing 14 is mixed with releasable silicon or the like, the effect of the peeling action can be obtained. . Further, it may be formed by mixing silicon with the resin forming the storage device 14. Further, instead of the primer treatment, it is only necessary to simply form a plurality of convex portions and treat the rough surface.
Is to improve the peeling.

Further, when the antibacterial agent is mixed with the resin forming the container 14 itself and the surface is treated with a primer, the same effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The description of the same parts as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and only different parts will be described.

In the first embodiment, the storage device 14 is made of a commonly used resin. However, the storage device 14 in the present embodiment is made of a material such as thiabenzazol or silver zeolite used in the first embodiment. The antibacterial agent is formed by being mixed with the resin forming the storage device 14, and the entire storage device 14 has an antibacterial action. Further, the guide 4 of the storage device 14 in the first embodiment.
Although a film coated with an antibacterial agent was provided on the surface on which the antibacterial agent was applied, in this embodiment, a release sheet having releasability was attached and provided.

Now, the release sheet 16 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4B shows the surface of the storage device 14, and FIG. 4A shows a side cross section of the storage device 14.

When applied to the gel, the gel 7 deforms due to the flexibility of the gel 7 itself, and the gel 7 enters the hole 17, and the entered gel 7 hits the resin subjected to the antibacterial treatment, thereby suppressing the propagation of various bacteria. Further, even if the gel 7 does not hit the storage device 14, the space with the gel 7 does not enter the outside air and is in a sealed state. Become. Then, when the lead 4 is peeled from the storage device 14, the gel 7 can be easily peeled from the storage device 14 by the peeling action of the release sheet 16.

Further, the total area of the holes 17 formed in the release sheet 16 is smaller than the total area of the portions of the release sheet 16 where no holes are formed, and the area to which the gel 7 is adhered is increased to improve the releasability. ing.

As described above, since the release sheet having the releasability and the plurality of holes is provided on the surface of the storage device to which the guide is adhered, the holes formed in the release sheet provide antibacterial properties to the guide. There is an effect, it is possible to provide a clean conductor, and since the conductor is pasted on the releasable sheet, there is an effect that the conductor can be easily removed from the storage tool when used from the stored state. .

[0040]

According to the present invention, an antibacterial agent is added to the storage device, and the surface is subjected to a peeling treatment. Therefore, the storage device is clean and the conductor is easily peeled off from the storage device.

In addition, since an antibacterial agent is blended in the storage device and a sheet having a plurality of holes having releasability is attached and provided on the surface of the storage device, the storage device is clean and the conductor is easily peeled off. It has effects such as improvement.

Further, since the total area of the holes is smaller than the total area of the portion having releasability of the sheet, there is an effect that the conductor is easily peeled off.
