Corpse treatment device

Abstract

A closing member ( 16 ) is disengageably fitted to one end of a cylindrical-shaped guide member ( 4 ) to close an opening ( 4 a ) of the guide member ( 4 ). A water-absorbing agent ( 3 ) made of water-absorbing resin powder is accommodated in the guide member ( 4 ) toward the one end. A column-shaped plug member ( 2 ) made of water-swellable fibers is accommodated in the guide member ( 4 ) at a location closer to the other end than the water-absorbing agent ( 3 ). A push rod ( 5 ) is inserted into the guide member ( 4 ) through an opening ( 4 b ) thereof located at the other end. With the opening ( 4 a ) at the one end of the guide member ( 4 ) inserted in an anus, the push rod ( 5 ) is operated to push the water-absorbing agent ( 3 ) and the plug member ( 2 ) through the opening ( 4 a ) at the one end of the guide member ( 4 ) into a rectum. The plug member ( 2 ) absorbs water in internal contents and expands to plug the rectum, while the water-absorbing agent ( 3 ) also absorbs water in the internal contents. Thus, the internal contents can be prevented from leaking out through the anus.

1 . A corpse treatment device comprising:
 Water-absorbing resin powder;   a guide member formed in a cylindrical shape having openings at both ends, accommodating the powder and configured to guide the powder into a body cavity; and   a push member configured to be inserted into the guide member through the opening located at the other end and push out, through the opening of the guide member located at the one end, the powder accommodated in the guide member,   wherein the corpse treatment device is configured so that the powder pushed through the opening of the guide member at the one end into the body cavity by the push member absorbs water in internal contents in the body cavity, thereby preventing the internal contents from leaking out of the cavity.
