JPS6150914A - Remedying tool for dermatopathy - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a remedying tool for dermatopathy, realizing the inhibition of the proliferation of fungi at the diseased part for a long period, and solving the defects of the poor impregnation and retaining of the drug component which is inevitable in the remedy of dermatopathy by the application of external drug. CONSTITUTION:The objective remedying tool for dermatopathy is composed of an elastic structure attachable freely to the diseased part such as arm, leg, etc. A water-retaining elastic structure to hold the drug component is attached to the part of the above elastic structure contacting directly with the diseased part, and the part of the elastic structure contacting with healthy skin is made of a stretchable breathing material such as meshed structure, cloth, etc. EFFECT:The elastic material such as rubber covering the diseased part enables together with the minute protrusions contacting with the diseased part of the water-retaining material, the sure impregnation of the drug component to the diseased part and the maintenance of the drug component for a sufficiently long period. The stretchable material fixes the remedying agent to the diseased part, and does not cause the constriction of the blood vessel of the skin nor make the skin stuffy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for treating skin diseases such as ringworm and candidiasis.

Conventional Technology Japan has a warm and humid climate, which makes the skin stuffy and makes it easy for bacteria to breed. As a result, various skin diseases are common in Japan, with 20% of men and 12% of women suffering from ringworm, or athlete's foot. However, skin diseases are difficult to cure, and effective treatments have been desired.

Conventionally, the treatments for these skin diseases have been the application of medicinal solutions and ointments, or the oral administration of tablets. For ringworm, medicine solutions and ointments are salicylic acid, undecylenic acid benzoic acid, etc., and tablets are griseofulvin. In the case of candidiasis, medical solutions include salicylic acid and pioctanin solutions, ointments include empecid and pimafucin ointments, and tablets include trichomycin, nystatin, and amphotericin B.

However, griseofulvin tablets have side effects such as photosensitivity, liver damage, and gastric damage, and tablet treatment may not be suitable for patients depending on their constitution. In addition, the effects of medicinal solutions and ointments were difficult on the footpads and finger and palm areas, where the disease usually occurs. The reason why it is less effective is because there are no pores and it is difficult for the medicinal ingredients to penetrate, and because the skin is covered with a hard and thick stratum corneum, the medicinal ingredients do not penetrate deep into the skin, so the fingers and palms have the most contact with objects, so there is no opportunity for cleaning. This is because the footpads are the skin that is most prone to getting stuffy and it is difficult to retain the medicinal ingredients due to sweat. Further, even if the medicinal component temporarily penetrates deep into the skin, if the medicinal component is not retained, the effect will only be temporary.

In other words, the period during which the bacteria reproduce is shorter than the period during which no medicinal ingredients are applied. Taking medicines for Trichophyton as an example, salicylic acid has a high antibacterial value of 2,000, and undecylenic acid has a high antibacterial value of 5,000. However, although these medicinal ingredients are effective against fungi such as Trichophyton, they are completely ineffective against spores. Therefore, although the bacterial system is sterilized by the medicinal ingredients, the spores remain.

And since the medicinal ingredients are not retained due to temporary application,
The remaining spores quickly multiplied and the ringworm recurred, and even if treatment by topical application was continued, this would only happen again, and the treatment would not be very effective.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention solves the problem of impermeability of drug ingredients, which is a drawback of the method of applying external drugs for the treatment of skin diseases. This solves the problem of non-retention and achieves long-term inhibition of bacterial growth in the affected area.

Means to Solve the Problem The solution is to change the method of treating skin diseases from application of medicinal ingredients to infiltration. The solution is to use a therapeutic tool that allows drug ingredients to penetrate and maintains the state of penetration.

The structure is as shown in Fig. 1. A removable elastic structure is attached to the affected area such as a limb, and a drug component holding structure with water retention and elasticity is attached to the part of the removable elastic structure that comes into direct contact with the affected area, as shown in Fig. 2. It is a device for treating skin diseases, and the part that comes into contact with normal skin is made of breathable and stretchable materials such as a mesh structure and cloth.

Effect: An elastic body such as rubber that covers the affected area, and a micro-protrusion structure or water-retaining material that contacts the affected area allows the medicinal ingredient to steadily penetrate into the affected area and retain the medicinal ingredient for a sufficiently long period of time. .

A breathable elastic body such as a mesh structure or cloth that covers areas other than the affected area fixes the treatment tool to the affected area, does not press blood vessels in the skin, and does not cause the skin to get stuffy.

Embodiment After the water-retaining and elastic material portion of the treatment device that comes into contact with the affected area is sufficiently impregnated with a medicinal solution or ointment, the treatment device is attached to the affected area. You can also wear socks, tabs, etc. over the treatment equipment, so your daily life will not be interfered with during treatment.

If the affected area is the hand, you can wear gloves, and if the affected area is the groin, you can wear pants. The treatment device can be covered for about 8 hours, and treatment can be performed during daily hours or while sleeping.

Treatment should be carried out continuously as much as possible while monitoring the condition of the skin.

The treatment period is necessary for the stratum corneum of the affected area to undergo metabolism.

In addition, it is easy to apply to affected areas other than the limbs and groin.
It can also be applied to skin diseases in the lower armpits and other areas by making the treatment device cover the affected area.

Effects of the Invention The first effect is a marked improvement in therapeutic effects by continuously penetrating the medicinal component into the affected area and maintaining that state. Theoretically, skin diseases can be completely cured by continuing treatment for a period during which the stratum corneum is metabolized. This completely overturns the concept of skin diseases, which have been extremely difficult to cure for many years.

The second effect is that the treatment work for skin diseases, which conventionally required frequent treatments, is simplified.
