Description

The present invention relates to wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma. The napkin has a textile layer impregnated with a solution of the active substance, which has bactericidal, odor-removing and cleaning components, as well as care components in these areas.

Known cleaning and washing solutions for the care of the intimate area and especially for women. These solutions in liquid form are usually used during the morning toilet and are applied using a normal cleaning cloth. A significant drawback in this case is that the known washing solutions are intended only for use in the intimate area (genital area). In this case, the anal region is excluded due to historical reasons due to fears of colibacilli entering the genital area. In addition, the disadvantage is that such washing can not be carried out discretely at any time, especially on the road.

Patients with artificial withdrawal of the intestines or bladder, as with colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy (stoma patients), due to the need for a certain hygiene regime, are significantly disadvantaged socially and communicatively. Day trips or a longer stay outside the home environment are practically excluded for them, since even with proper hygiene, regular replacement of the ostomy bag is associated with great inconvenience when cleaning and the spread of an unpleasant odor. In addition, digestive enzymes have a negative effect on normal skin. Until now, gauze pads, various cleaning solutions and regular skin ointments are commonly used for washing.

From ΌΕ-Θ8 23 12 923 and ΌΕ-Θ8 21 56 208, dry wipes are known for cleaning the anal and intimate areas. SCHL 71 10 180 describes a cleansing wipe for the anal area soaked in special oil. These dry wipes do not contain any optimally-active substances for cleaning and caring for normal and damaged skin and do not eliminate unpleasant odors. In addition, these dry wipes at a body temperature and together with soft residual components of care create a thin layer of fat that prevents stomapatients from tightly adhering the stoma to the skin.

Therefore, the objective of the present invention was the creation of such a system for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma, which would overcome the above disadvantages.

This problem in accordance with the invention is solved as a result of the main requirements. Side benefits are identified based on dependent features.

In accordance with the invention, the problem is solved by creating wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma. The napkin has a textile layer impregnated with a solution of the active substance, which has bactericidal, odor-removing and cleaning components, as well as care components in these areas.

The textile layer of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, consists mainly of fabric or knitwear made of cotton, wool, cellulose, polyester, polyamide, polyacrylic or mixtures of these materials.

An advantage is the fact that the tissue layer consists of at least two partial layers, while the partial layers can be the same or different.

The bactericidal components of the active solution of the invented napkin for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, are mainly selected from aliphatic alcohols with up to 4 carbon atoms, aminoalkylbetaines of fatty acids, antiseptics, such as chlorhexidine and their derivatives, trichlorohydroxydiphenyl ether, and also catalytic ammonium quaternary compounds, mainly alkyl dimethyl and alkyldimethylethyl benzyl ammonium chloride

The components for the care of the active solution of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, are mainly selected from polyoxyethylene glycerol mono-fatty acid esters, amino oxides and Ό-panthenol.

The active solution of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, consists of combinations of perfume oils: esters, terpenes, alcohol, as well as natural aromatic substances, synthetic aromatic substances, natural essential oils, and / or zinc cincinoleates , preservatives, bactericides, intermediary solvents, fat-removing agents, tensides and / or emulsion crushers and / or amine oxides or mixtures of these substances.

A particularly advantageous quality of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, is that its textile layer consists of cellulose and knitted or cotton wool made from it and that 510 wt.% Is included in the active solution. slightly fat-reflecting component in the form of a detergent, 0.5-5 wt.% amphoteric antiseptic detergent, 0.1-0.6 wt.% antiseptic, 0.3-1 wt.% care products, 2.5-7.5 wt.% aliphatic alcohol with up to 4 carbon atoms, mainly ethanol, as well as an odor eliminating agent and fragrances e substance.

The invented napkin for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, mainly differs in that the layer impregnated with the active solution is sealed in a combined film of paper, aluminum and polyethylene, from which the layer soaked with the active solution is removed before use.

At home, in clinics and at the doctor's office, it is convenient to use boxes of suitable plastic material, such as PE, PP and PA, which allow you to draw from them on a napkin and containing a large number of napkins, for example, from 10 to 100 pieces in total.

To remove the napkin from the box, it is necessary to pull the napkin out of the box head and, for example, separate it on the perforation. At the same time, the next, ready-to-use napkin is fed into the box head. Such special boxes are closed with a slam lid (mainly made of PP). The latter is an integral part of the lid screwed onto the box itself. These boxes can be reused, for which the user can fill it himself from the filling pack. This system guarantees hygienically optimal removal of wipes.

The textile layer of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, consists mainly of cellulose, wool or cotton in the form of cotton wool or knitwear. Synthetic materials such as polyethylenes, polyester, polyamides or polyacrylates or similar materials may also be used.

As a raw material for the active solution of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, very mild action, well tolerated by the mucous membrane, amphoteric tensides as washing active substances are especially suitable; nonionic tensides with the ability of easy fat return, are killed as bactericidal agents; alcohol as a disinfectant and refreshing agent; Ό-panthenol for the care of the mucous membrane with minor damage; perfumery combinations of oils from terpenes, esters and alcohol and / or zincricinolates to eliminate odor and neutralize the body's degradation products of protein.

For the manufacture of an active solution of the invented wipes for cleaning and care in the anal and intimate areas, as well as in the stoma area, a mixture of raw materials is taken mainly in alloy steel vessels at room temperature. In this case, it is important to first take a non-ionic tenside and only then mix the individual components until they are completely dissolved. Finally, demineralized water is added. Thus, the resulting active solution is filtered, then using an automatic bag brewing machine (from the tube), the wipes are soaked in a pre-made bag, and the latter is brewed. Or the napkins are impregnated with the active solution in boxes, allowing each napkin to be pulled out of them each time using the devices known for this.

For packaging napkins in sealed bags, combined films are used, which are usually used in cosmetics and technology.

These are mainly aluminum films glued with paper, polypropylene, polyester and / or polyethylene. In this case, the aluminum film on the side facing the invented napkin is glued mainly with polyethylene. The aluminum film completely seals the napkin impregnated with the active solution and thus guarantees a long shelf life.

The invented cloth for care and cleaning is well applicable for inflammation and skin irritations. Friction between the surfaces in the folds of the skin together with the products of the decomposition of sweat cause irritation and inflammation of the skin in the anal area, and are called "wolf" or "intertrigo". And with this indication, invented wipes for care and cleaning can be used.

Invented wipes for care and cleaning can be perfectly used for skin care of babies. Hypersensitivity of infant skin to staphylococci and streptococci often lead to skin diseases in the anal area and genital area, up to severe forms of dermatitis exroyuua peopuyugish. Friction in protective pants in the diaper triangle, temperature increase there, impregnation by secretion of the secret accumulated there with maceration of the skin, since the stratum corneum in babies is not yet developed to perform its function; friction between the individual surfaces of the skin, the loss of the acid membrane due to the formation of ammonia from urine and stool under the influence of the ammonia bacillus leads to severe skin irritation, causing the so-called "diaper dermatitis" and superinfection as a result of staphylococci.

The invention is explained in the following examples.

Example 2

Napkins in example 1 with active solution 1 were regularly used by 40 women in three test groups for 14 days.

Group 1. 10 women aged 20-39 years with inflammatory diseases of the genitals and skin itching.

Group 2. 15 women aged 40-55 years with mild diseases like itchy skin or leucorrhoea (5 patients) or without any disease (10 patients).

Group 3. 15 women aged 55-70 years with itchy skin as a result of hormonal deficiency.

Subjective assessment of wipes revealed an average score of 1.5 in group 1 (range of ratings from 1 to 6) in group 1, in group 2 - a score of 1.1 and in group 3 - a score of 2.2. Once a rating of 4 was given and once a rating of 5. Napkins were found by most participants to be pleasant and slightly cooling. Colposcopy did not show skin rashes or scratches.

Example 3

Wipes in example 1 with active solution 1 were subjected to a moisture test. In contrast to the method described by Burkhard-Schmid, the forearm curvature region was used. The skin of the test field was initially without any noticeable changes. As a result of transverse marking with a 2% solution of pyoctanine, the necessary areas were applied (no more than 5 in the forearm) 4 cm wide and one below the other. Prior to this, the skin was not prepared specially.

Each of the tested fields was rubbed with a napkin, being careful not to expose it to mechanical irrigation (30 moisturizations for 30 minutes).

After a series of humidifications, the test field was carefully cleaned with gauze. Evaluation was carried out immediately, after 10 minutes and after 24 hours.

If the test results are negative, after 24 hours, a repeated series of humidifications was carried out: 60 humidifications within 30 min. A further series of humidifications was not carried out with a repeated negative result.

The assessment was based on the following criteria:

+ = erythema ++ = erythema and edema = without diagnosis

A study on 5 trial participants on days 1 and 2 of the trial was left without a diagnosis.

Example 4

Wipes in example 1 with active solution 1 were tested for use on 25 participants. Applications were anal and arms. Test participants were prohibited from using any other cosmetic or skin-protective substances for 14 test days. Daily skin cleansing was carried out as usual with water and soap. The participants were constantly monitored and reactions were constantly recorded.

Evaluation (according to the degree of redness) (+) = unclear reaction (slight redness) + = weak positive reaction (redness) ++ = positive reaction (redness and swelling of the follicle) +++ = strong positive reaction (redness and blistering) ++ ++ = toxic reaction (hemorrhagic vesicle formation, necrosis in the area of inflammation) = no reaction Result

Reaction Number of people (25) (+) = 1 + = ++ = +++ = ++++ = 024

One participant complained of an itch, the remaining 24 people rated the napkin as pleasant to use.

Example 6

Wipes in example 1 with active solution 1 were subjected to an epicutaneous test. At the same time, on 25 participants of the test with healthy and unhealthy skin, napkins were tested on the skin in the back using a normalized patch (Leukotest, Bayersdorf AO). These were flaxen pieces 1 cm across, covered with cellophane circles 1.8 cm across and held back by a fixing plaster. Reactions were recorded after 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours.

Evaluation (according to the degree of redness) (+) = unclear reaction (slight redness) + = weak positive reaction (redness) ++ = positive reaction (redness and swelling of the follicle) +++ = strong positive reaction (redness and blistering) ++ ++ = toxic reaction (hemorrhagic vesicle formation, necrosis in the area of inflammation) = no reaction

The response to the fixative patch was evaluated separately.

Result

Reaction Number of people (25) (+) = 1 + = 1 ++ = +++ = ++++ = 023

Example 7

Napkins in Example 1 with active solution 1 were given to 5 test participants with artificial intestinal withdrawal, who individually used these tissues for 5 days. After this time, the participants reported their subjective experience to their attending physician. They emphasized especially easy handling - “from the pocket of the trousers” - with napkins. They reported a pleasant sensation of freshness immediately after applying the wipes. They were especially impressed by the almost complete absence of unpleasant odors, which were usually perceived as disturbing and unpleasant. Participants in the test felt clearly more confident, their sense of self-awareness increased. Despite the advanced age of some test participants, they were more likely to re-establish contacts in society.

Medical control showed that even with existing skin lesions, irritation, allergic reactions, hypersensitivity and irritation were not noticed. Rather, on the contrary, existing skin defects and inflammation weakened or disappeared altogether.

Example 8

Napkins in Example 1 with active solution 1 were given out for a long time to use for 19 participants in the test as a whole (6 women aged 40-68 years, 13 men aged 53-74 years) with the disease Aiik prgaeeg (stoma carriers). Wipes were used to clean and care for the skin of the ventral abdominal wall, and for long-term illnesses, it was used in bedridden patients 2-3 times a day for cleaning and, first of all, to eliminate odor.

The use of wipes was evaluated by all participants primarily positively and found to be pleasant. Maceration and inflammation of the skin quickly healed with the use of wipes. In this case, the occurrence of allergic reactions or other side effects was never observed. The gluing ability of the stomamechka during such skin cleansing did not weaken. The use of wipes in practical application was recognized by all participants in the test as very good. The easy accessibility - “from the pocket of the trousers” - and thus the convenient use of napkins, were positively evaluated. Wipes proved to be more tear-resistant than ordinary cellulose wipes or toilet paper and thus recognized as universally applicable for home and on-the-go care, which helps stoma carriers to better integrate into the environment.
