Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chemical solution absorbent package comprising a chemical solution absorbent material such as a cotton swab and a packaging container containing a chemical solution, and more particularly to a chemical solution less likely to be contaminated and to be easily used. The present invention relates to a liquid medicine absorbent package that can be made.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Chemical swabs, gauze, absorbent cotton and non-woven fabrics are used as medical solution absorbents for medical applications. Above all, swabs can be operated without touching the application area, and are therefore sanitary. . The swab is used as it is for cleaning the ears and nose, but is also used for impregnating various chemicals and the like to apply the chemicals to the skin and the like.

When a cotton swab is impregnated with a drug solution and applied to the skin, first, a cotton swab and a container containing the drug solution are prepared. Next, a drug solution is dropped on the swab, or the swab is immersed in the drug solution to impregnate the swab with the drug solution. Therefore, prior to use, not only a cotton swab but also a container containing a chemical solution had to be searched, and the complicated impregnation work as described above was required. In addition, since the user performs the impregnation work, there is a possibility that the remaining chemical solution is contaminated, or the swab is contaminated with the contaminated chemical solution. Thus, the conventional swab was not always sanitary depending on the method of use.

[0004] Therefore, there has been proposed a method in which a swab is impregnated with a chemical solution in advance and is simply packaged in a bag (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-26247). However, since the chemical solution impregnated in the cotton ball flows freely in the bag, the shaft of the cotton swab is contaminated. In addition, when carrying, the long shaft portion may be bulky or the shaft bar may be broken.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has as its object to prevent leakage of a chemical solution during storage or transportation, and to prevent contamination of a portion to be a gripping portion during application.
