[0001]
【Technical field】
The present invention relates to a pressure ulcer improving device, and relates to an object for improving or treating pressure ulcer.
[0002]
[Background]
In recent years, when a sick person is bedridden for a long period of time, a part of the body is pressed against clothing or bedding, and this pressure may cause a collapse called pressure ulcer or bedsore. Therapeutic devices that improve such pressure sores are being considered. For example:
[Patent Literature]
(1) JP-A-7-313585
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to treat such pressure sores with a simple improvement tool or to improve pressure sores.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the pressure ulcer improving tool of the present invention includes an inner body that emits far-infrared rays, is fixed to the inner body, and is provided on the pressure ulcer affected part side with respect to the inner body. And a body that exhibits a bactericidal action, and an outer body that is provided on the opposite side of the pressure ulcer affected area with respect to the body and the internal body and has a bactericidal action against germs from outside the pressure ulcer affected area.
[0005]
With such a simple structure, a small pressure ulcer disappeared in one week to one month, and a large pressure ulcer could disappear in about three months. It is very effective in eliminating pressure ulcers.
[0006]
In addition, when pressure ulcers gradually heal due to far infrared rays from the inner body, even if pus, germs or other waste products come out, the outer body and the inner body have a bactericidal action, etc. Can be sterilized to detoxify, and other bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be prevented from scattering.
[0007]
Furthermore, since the germs that have popped out are sterilized, even if the germs that have popped out once return to the pressure ulcer, they can be prevented from breeding again or starting to act again. Furthermore, since germs from the outside can be sterilized by the external body, germs do not enter the cured pressure ulcer and the pressure ulcer does not deteriorate again.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(1) Cross-sectional structure of pressure ulcer improvement tool
1 and 2 show a cross-sectional structure and a planar structure of the pressure ulcer improving tool. The inner body 1 has a flat cotton shape, is rectangular, circular, or oval, and is made of wool cotton or cotton containing a material that emits far infrared rays. The inner body 1 is approximately the same size as the pressure ulcer affected area or larger than the pressure ulcer affected area.
[0009]
Since the inner body 1 is cotton-like, it contains a lot of air and has a heat retaining action. Since far-infrared rays emitted from the inner body 1 are irradiated to the affected area of the pressure ulcer, blood circulation in the affected area of the pressure ulcer is improved and the pressure ulcer can be cured.
[0010]
A flat inner body 2 is provided on the pressure ulcer affected side of the inner body 1 so as to overlap. The size of the inner body 2 is almost the same as or completely the same as the size of the inner body 1, that is, the length, width, radius, or diameter of both 1 and 2 is almost the same or completely the same. The thickness of the inner body 1 is thicker or the same. Therefore, the body 2 is also approximately the same size as the pressure ulcer affected area or larger than the pressure ulcer affected area.
[0011]
The inner body 2 has an action of disinfection, sterilization, sterilization, sterilization, sterilization or sterilization (hereinafter collectively referred to as sterilization). The inner body 2 transmits far infrared rays from the inner body 1. Therefore, a material with a relatively thin thickness is selected for the inner body 2.
[0012]
Since the inner body 2 having the bactericidal action is approximately the same size as the inner body 1, miscellaneous bacteria from the pressure ulcer enter the inner body 1 and the outer body 4, and further jump out of the present pressure ulcer improving tool. Or even other infections can be prevented. In the present specification, claims and drawings, the germs include bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, enterobacteria, MRSA and the like.
[0013]
Further, since the inner body 2 faces the affected area of the pressure ulcer with a very thin outer envelope 3 interposed therebetween, it is possible to prevent propagation of germs such as pathogenic bacteria and bacteria in the pressure ulcer. Further, since the inner body 2 transmits the far infrared rays from the inner body 1, the far infrared rays irradiated to the pressure ulcer affected part are not weakened, the blood circulation in the pressure ulcer affected part is improved, and the pressure ulcer can be cured.
[0014]
The inner body 1 and the inner body 2 are wrapped by an outer packet 3. As the outer packet 3, a single thin gauze having a large gap between the eyes is used, and the periphery is sewn with the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 interposed therebetween. The outer packet 3 transmits the bactericidal action of the inner body 2 and also transmits far-infrared rays from the inner body 1.
[0015]
Therefore, the healing action of the pressure ulcer by the far infrared rays of the inner body 1 and the anti-proliferation effect of germs in the pressure ulcer by the bactericidal action of the inner body 2 are not inhibited. The outer packet 3 also has a function of preventing the fluff of the inner body 1 from scattering. By this outer packet 3, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 are fixed so as not to shift, and the inner body 2 is fixed to the inner body 1. Thereby, the synergistic effect of the far-infrared effect and the bactericidal action is maintained.
[0016]
A flat outer body 4 is attached to the outer packet 3 on the side opposite to the pressure ulcer affected area. The outer body 4 also has a bactericidal action, like the inner body 2. Therefore, this outer body 4 can prevent germs from the pressure ulcer affected part from scattering outside, and can also prevent germs from entering the pressure ulcer affected part from the outside.
[0017]
Further, since the outer body 4 extends outwardly from the outer packet 3, that is, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2, the outer body 4 is larger than the affected pressure ulcer. Accordingly, the sterilization action of the outer body 4 can prevent the affected area of the pressure ulcer from expanding or flying.
[0018]
Further, the outer body 4 can prevent germs such as MRSA and intestinal bacteria entering from the outside. This invasion from the outside is an infection from another patient, and the intestinal bacteria are intestinal bacteria due to the patient's own defecation. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers.
[0019]
Further, when the pressure sore is gradually healed by the far-infrared rays from the inner body 1, even if pus, germs or other waste products come out, the outer body 4 and the inner body 2 have a bactericidal action. Therefore, it can be sterilized to make it harmless, or the scattering of germs such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be prevented.
[0020]
In addition, since the germs that have popped out are sterilized, it is possible to prevent the germs that have popped out from re-breeding or starting to act again after returning to the pressure ulcer. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers.
[0021]
An adhesive layer 5 is attached to the surface of the outer body 4 on the pressure ulcer affected area, and the outer packet 3 and the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 are firmly attached to the adhesive layer 5, and the outer packet 3 and the inner body 1 and The inner body 2 is not displaced from the outer body 4.
[0022]
In addition, since the outer body 4 extends to the outside larger than the outer packet 3, that is, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2, when the present pressure ulcer improving tool is attached to the pressure ulcer affected area, The adhesive layer 5 of the outer body 4 is firmly attached to the human body, and the inner body 1, the inner body 2, and the outer packet 3 are not displaced from the pressure ulcer affected part.
[0023]
Moreover, since the inner body 1, the inner body 2, and the outer packet 3 are approximately the same size as the pressure ulcer affected area or larger than the pressure ulcer affected area, the adhesive layer 5 of the outer body 4 may be directly attached to the pressure ulcer affected area. There is no.
[0024]
Further, the outer body 4 is extended and extended over the entire circumference of the inner body 1, the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3. Therefore, the outer body 4 completely seals the periphery of the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3, that is, the periphery of the pressure ulcer affected part, so that various germs are scattered from the pressure ulcer affected part, and various germs enter the pressure ulcer affected part. Can be prevented. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers.
[0025]
Note that the outer body 4 may be only a part of the outer body 4, not the entire outer periphery of the inner body 1, the inner body 2, and the outer packet 3, and the outer body 4 may be large. Even in this case, the present pressure ulcer improving tool can be fixed to the pressure ulcer affected part. The inner body 2 may be omitted, and the outer packet 3 may be the inner body 1 alone. Moreover, the outer body 4 may be made of a plurality of cloth materials instead of a single cloth material, and may be a band shape, a triangular width shape, a bandage shape, or the like, and the adhesive layer 5 may be omitted.
[0026]
Further, the outer package 3 may be a single cloth and may be the same cloth material as the outer body 4. In this case, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 are sandwiched between the outer body 4 and the outer packet 3. The outer packet 3 is stitched or bonded to the lower surface of the outer body 4.
[0027]
From the pressure ulcer affected part side of the outer body 4, that is, from below in FIG. 1, release papers 6 and 6 are attached to the adhesive layer 5 of the outer body 4. The release papers 6 and 6 also cover and protect the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packaging 3, and the outer body 4, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packaging 3 are contaminated with bacteria and dirt. It has a sterilizing action to prevent it. When using this pressure ulcer improving tool, the release papers 6 and 6 are peeled off and the pressure ulcer improving tool is attached to the pressure ulcer affected area. The release papers 6 and 6 may also have a bactericidal action.
[0028]
A knob portion 7 is sewn on the outer edge of the outer packet 3 that wraps the inner body 1 and the inner body 2. The material of the knob part 7 is made of the same material as the outer packet 3 and when the pressure ulcer improving tool is pasted on the affected part of the pressure ulcer or when it is removed during replacement, the knob part 7 is sandwiched between tweezers and attached. It can be peeled off, and it can be prevented from touching the pressure ulcer affected part or adhering various bacteria to the pressure ulcer affected part.
[0029]
The inner body 1, the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3 are peeled off from the outer body 4, or originally without the outer body 4 or with the outer body 4 attached, with the knob portion 7 as the upper edge. Many of the knobs 7 are stored and arranged in a sterilized case or the like and can be picked up with tweezers or the like in use. The knob portion 7 may be omitted.
[0030]
(2) Cross-sectional structure of pressure ulcer improving tool (second embodiment)
FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the pressure ulcer improving tool. The following points are different from the first embodiment shown in FIGS. First, the adhesive layer 5 on the lower surface of the outer body 4 is omitted. The outer body 4 is sutured to the outer packet 3 and, in some cases, is also sutured to the inner body 1 and / or the inner body 2.
[0031]
The outer body 4 is also larger than the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3. Further, the outer body 4 is extended and extended over the entire circumference of the inner body 1, the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3. Therefore, the outer body 4 completely seals the periphery of the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3, that is, the periphery of the pressure ulcer affected part, so that various germs are scattered from the pressure ulcer affected part, and various germs enter the pressure ulcer affected part. Can be prevented. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers. Other constituent actions of the outer body 4 are the same as in the first embodiment.
[0032]

[0036]
Moreover, since the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3 and the outer body 4 are approximately the same size or larger than the pressure ulcer affected area, the adhesive layer 9 of the adhesive sheet 8 is directly attached to the pressure ulcer affected area. It will never be attached.
[0037]
Moreover, this sticking sheet 8 is extended and extended to the outside over the entire periphery of the inner body 1, the inner body 2, the outer packet 3, and the outer body 4. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 8 completely seals the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3 and the outer body 4, that is, around the pressure ulcer affected part. Can be prevented from entering. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers.
[0038]
Note that the adhesive sheet 8 may be a part of the inner body 1, the inner body 2, the outer packet 3, or the outer body 4 instead of the entire outer periphery, and the adhesive sheet 8 may be large. Even in this case, the present pressure ulcer improving tool can be fixed to the pressure ulcer affected part. The inner body 2 may be omitted, and the outer packet 3 may be the inner body 1 alone. Moreover, the sticking sheet 8 may be made of a plurality of cloth materials instead of a single cloth material, and may be a band shape, a triangular width shape, a bandage shape, or the like, and the sticking layer 9 may be omitted.
[0039]
Further, the outer package 3 may be a single cloth, and may be the same cloth material as the adhesive sheet 8 or the outer body 4, and the outer body 4 may be omitted in some cases. In this case, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 are omitted. Is sandwiched between the adhesive sheet 8 or the outer body 4 and the outer package 3, and the outer package 3 is stitched or bonded to the lower surface of the adhesive sheet 8 or the outer body 4.
[0040]
From the pressure ulcer affected part side of the adhesive sheet 8, that is, from below in FIG. 5, release papers 6 and 6 are attached to the adhesive layer 9 of the adhesive sheet 8. The release papers 6 and 6 cover and protect the inner body 1 and the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3 and the outer body 4, and various bacteria may enter the outer body 4, the inner body 1 and the inner body 2, and the outer packet 3, Has sterilization action to prevent dirt from entering. When using this pressure ulcer improving tool, the release papers 6 and 6 are peeled off and the pressure ulcer improving tool is attached to the pressure ulcer affected area. The release papers 6 and 6 may also have a bactericidal action.
[0041]
A knob portion 7 is sewn to the outer edge or outer body 4 of the outer packet 3 that wraps the inner body 1 and the inner body 2. The material of the knob part 7 is made of the same material as the outer packet 3 and when the pressure ulcer improving tool is pasted on the affected part of the pressure ulcer or when it is removed during replacement, the knob part 7 is sandwiched between tweezers and attached. It can be peeled off, and it can be prevented from touching the pressure ulcer affected part or adhering various bacteria to the pressure ulcer affected part.
[0042]
The inner body 1, the inner body 2 and the outer packet 3 are peeled off from the outer body 4, or originally without the outer body 4 or with the outer body 4 attached, with the knob portion 7 as the upper edge. Many of the knobs 7 are stored and arranged in a sterilized case or the like and can be picked up with tweezers or the like in use. The knob portion 7 may be omitted.
[0043]
In the non-woven fabric sticking sheet 8, a number of thin cuts are formed vertically or horizontally, and when the pressure ulcer improvement tool is peeled off, it can be manually torn or torn, so that the pressure ulcer improvement tool can be easily exchanged. . The adhesive layer 9 does not easily adhere to body hair or clothing, and does not cause pain when it is peeled off, and does not easily peel off even if it is accidentally attached to clothing.
[0044]
Moreover, since the sticking sheet 8 is air permeable and moisture permeable, the skin does not become stuffy or rashed by the skin. Furthermore, since the sticking sheet 8 is stretchable due to the thin slits formed as described above, it is possible to eliminate adhesion displacement and looseness, and it can be firmly fitted and attached to joints and bent parts.
[0045]
Further, the degree of adhesion pressure can be selected such as adhesion of strong eyes or adhesion of weak eyes at the time of adhesion due to this stretchability. In addition, no bandage is required. This sticking sheet 8 can be sterilized by autoclave or ethylene oxide gas.
[0046]
In the autoclave sterilization, the adhesive sheet 8 can be completely sterilized by heating at 121 ° C. for 20 minutes or by heating at 133 ° C. for 10 minutes. Ethylene oxide gas sterilization can be sterilized by placing it in ethylene oxide gas. Thereby, this pressure ulcer improving tool can be disposed after being completely sterilized.
[0047]
Since this sticking sheet 8 has air permeability and moisture permeability, only the moisture can be scattered after the exudate from the pressure ulcer affected part is sterilized by the inner body 2 or the outer body 4. Therefore, the pressure ulcer affected part does not become stuffy and the rash is not progressed. This can quickly cure pressure ulcers.
[0048]
(3) Material of inner body 1
As the inner body 1 having the above technical features, a cotton material having a trade name “Bionest (registered trademark) Sera” (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-17568) sold by Kiko Co., Ltd. is used.
[0049]
“Bionest Cera” is a ceramic with processed natural zeolite ore and fine particles adhered firmly to the surface of natural fibers. By the action of the ceramics and the fine particles, far infrared rays are sufficiently emitted to the outside even at a temperature lower than the body temperature, and the effect of heating the human body is exhibited.
[0050]
Since the chemical composition of the zeolite is a condensed salt in which a part of silicon in the silicate is replaced with aluminum and is based on a three-dimensional network structure in the SiO4-AlO4 connection tetrahedron, a structure including a cavity is formed, Cations (cations) and water of crystallization are present in the cavities or pores formed by connecting the cavities in correspondence with the anions (anions), and water of crystallization due to electrostatic attraction of metal ions.
[0051]
There are zeolites of various structures depending on the ratio of silicon to aluminum in the skeleton or the type and number of cations. General properties of zeolite include cation exchange capacity, molecular fluid action, polar substance adsorption, and catalysis.
[0052]
Since the crystal water of zeolite exists as water molecules in the three-dimensional network structure of zeolite, it is called zeolite water. Even if dehydrated by heating, the structure of the zeolite is not destroyed, and the portion where crystal water is present is left as it is. It remains as a cavity and has a sponge-like structure. This cavity has a property of strongly adsorbing gas and moisture.
[0053]
Another major characteristic of zeolite is its base substitution capacity. This is also called a cation exchange capacity “CEC Exchange Capacity”, and is a force that holds and separates cations (NH4 +, potassium, sodium, calcium, etc.) just like a magnet. In particular, the base substitution capacity of zeolite is called permanent charge, and has the property of maintaining its force for a long period of time without being influenced by the surrounding environment (PH, etc.).
[0054]
Thus, zeolite has an adsorption function. In a cloth using such an adsorbing material and an optical semiconductor ceramic, bacteria, viruses, fungi, malodorous substances, harmful substances and the like are first adsorbed and held on the adsorbing material.
[0055]
Thereafter or simultaneously, bacteria, viruses, fungi and the like are killed or reduced by the photocatalytic action of the photo-semiconductor powder and the metal powder which have been irradiated with light, and malodorous substances and the like are decomposed. Furthermore, even in the case of bacteria and other things that are not adsorbed, growth (growth) prevention, repellent effect, etc. can be obtained by photocatalytic action. Zeolite emits far-infrared rays almost uniformly at all temperatures from 0 to 60 degrees.
[0056]
Further, as the inner body 1, a cotton material having a trade name “Serum (registered trademark) A” or “Epicomodo” sold by Toyobo Co., Ltd. may be used. Serum A or epicomodo has acrylic fine particles or other fibers embedded / kneaded with ultrafine ceramics. By the action of this ceramic, far infrared rays are radiated to the outside at around 40 degrees Celsius near the body temperature, and a heating effect on the human body is exhibited. Around 40 degrees Celsius, far infrared rays are generated most.
[0057]
The far-infrared wavelengths emitted from the serum A or epicomodo are almost all over 5.0 μm or more, and the far-infrared wavelengths emitted from the zeolite are very much in the vicinity of 1.5 to 6.0 μm.
[0058]
Therefore, the infrared rays emitted from zeolite are mid-infrared rays, and the infrared rays emitted from the serum A or epicomodo are far infrared rays and super far infrared rays. As for infrared rays, wavelengths of 0.76 to 1.5 μm are referred to as near infrared rays, wavelengths of 1.5 to 5.6 μm are referred to as mid-infrared rays, wavelengths of 5.6 to 400 μm are referred to as far infrared rays, and wavelengths of 400 to 1000 μm are referred to as ultra far infrared rays. However, in the present specification and claims, the far infrared ray including the mid infrared ray will be described as the far infrared ray, and the super far infrared ray will be described as the far infrared ray.
[0059]
The longer the far-infrared wavelength, the deeper the human tissue penetrates and warms it from the deeper part. Therefore, the longer the far-infrared wavelength, the longer it takes for the far-red effect to appear.Once the far-red effect is achieved, the sustainability lasts longer. continue.
[0060]
In addition, the shorter the far-infrared wavelength, the warmer the surface of the human tissue is. Therefore, the shorter the wavelength of the far-infrared, the faster the far-red effect appears immediately, and there is immediate effect, and warms up (warms up) immediately after putting the foot on the foot protector. Therefore, it can be said that the bionestocera and zeolite have an immediate effect / surface effect, and the serum A and epicomodo have a delayed effect / deep effect. The inner body 1 may be a mixture of the above zeolite, serum A or epicomodo.
[0061]
(4) Material of inner body 2 or outer body 4
As the material of the inner body 2 or the outer body 4 having the above technical features, a chitin chitosan fiber cloth is used. In the chitin chitosan fiber, the chitin chitosan component is coated on the fiber surface or kneaded inside the fiber. The coating on the surface of the fiber or the kneading inside the fiber is performed by the same technique as the coating or kneading of serumx in the above-mentioned BioZestella or Serum A.
[0062]
The component of this chitin chitosan is a component that was put out from the crab or shrimp shell. The chitin chitosan fiber cloth has very strong antibacterial and bactericidal properties against athlete's foot bacteria or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and also has antifungal and deodorizing properties.
[0063]
Further, the chitin chitosan fiber cloth is well-suited to water, feels cool in summer, feels warm in winter, and has properties of moisture absorption (absorption of moisture), humidity adjustment (adjustment of humidity / humidity), and moisture release (exhaust of moisture). Furthermore, since chitin chitosan fiber is a natural fiber, it is well-familiar with the skin, hardly generates static electricity, has good washing resistance, and has excellent dyeability and gloss.
[0064]
As the inner body 2 or the outer body 4 having the technical features as described above, a fabric called “Dymel” (or Annon, registered trademark) of Toyobo Co., Ltd. is used. This cloth is described in the Utility Model Rights No. 3056573 or No. 3061324, which are rights holders of Koken Co., Ltd., and these cloths are purchased and used for the inner cloth 2 of the present invention. Used for outer fabrics.
[0065]
This dismel is an ammonia deodorizing and sterilizing material for acrylate fibers. That is, a carboxylic group is attached to a non-woven fabric blended with a cross-linked acrylic fiber having pH buffering ability (ability to alleviate pH change). When ammonia (NH3) acts on this carboxylic group (COOH), ionic bonding As a result, an odorless ammonium carboxylate (COOHNH 4) is produced, so that the ammonia odor is removed and the proliferation of bacteria by ammonia is suppressed. Thereby, the dismel has a deodorizing action and a bactericidal action. This dismel is fluffy and has a warming action.
[0066]
Other examples of the inner body 2 or the outer body 4 having the technical features as described above include a cloth having a trade name “SHINE UP (registered trademark) EX” sold by Kuraray Co., Ltd. Shine-up EX has a metal-containing ceramic-based special deodorant kneaded into a composite fiber composed of polyester fiber and nylon fiber, and exhibits a deodorizing and bactericidal effect by a photocatalytic reaction with titanium dioxide. The same is true for cloths sold by Shinshu Ceramics Co., Ltd.
[0067]
Other examples of the inner body 2 or the outer body 4 having the above technical features include a “sanitor 30”. This “sanitor 30” is a trade name sold by Kuraray Co., Ltd., and is a sterilizing and deodorizing fiber in which special silver-based ceramics are kneaded at the time of melt spinning polyester fiber.
[0068]
The special silver-based ceramic of “Saniter 30” is a disinfectant and is a ceramic containing a disinfecting metal such as silver, zinc or other metals. Bacteria that have the effect of suppressing the growth of this special silver-based ceramic are Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (causal agent for pressure ulcer), Escherichia coli pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Ringworm, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ) Etc.
[0069]
(5) Material of outer packaging 3
As the outer package 3 having the technical features as described above, for example, one normal gauze is used. The case has a yarn count (thickness) as small (thin) as about “30 to 50”, for example “40”, and a yarn density as coarse as about “22 to 32”, for example “26 to 28”. Therefore, the ratio of the gap to the gap of the gauze yarn is 50% to 80%, and the gap is very large.
[0070]
The yarn count representing the thickness of the yarn is defined by the following equation.
Thread count (A) = (Thread length (m)) / (Thread weight (g)) × 0.59 (1)
The thickness of this thread can also be expressed by the following denier.
Denier = (Thread length (m)) / (Thread weight (g)) × 9000 (2)
Even if this denier or other thickness index is used, the same technical effect can be obtained by replacing it with the count of equation (1).
[0071]
The yarn density (B) representing the yarn density is expressed by how many yarns are woven per inch. Of course, the same technical effect can be obtained with other density standards or indicators such as the number per centimeter.
[0072]
The material of the outer package 3 may be the above-mentioned bionestocera, zeolite, serum A or epicomodo. In this case, if the inner body 1 is a bionest sera or zeolite having an immediate effect / surface effect and the outer envelope 3 is a serum A or epicomodo having a slow effect / deep effect, or conversely, the inner body 1 is a slow action / If the deep-effect serum A or epicomodo is used, the outer envelope 3 will be a bionest sera or zeolite with immediate effect / surface effect, and both will share the far-infrared effect, taking advantage of their respective characteristics and synergistically. A far-infrared effect can be obtained.
[0073]
Moreover, as a raw material of the outer packaging 3, the said chitin chitosan fiber, a dismel, Shine-up EX, and the sanitary 30 may be sufficient. Thereby, the inner body 2 can be omitted. Alternatively, the outer packet 3 can be omitted and the inner body 2 and the outer body 4 can be sewn and used as a substitute for the outer package 3.
[0074]
(6) Material of the sticking sheet 8
