Description

  The present invention relates to a patch that provides an analgesic / anti-inflammatory effect as well as a hot compress effect to affected areas such as stiff shoulders, low back pain, and muscle pain.

  The effect of hot compresses that apply steamed towels to affected areas is deceived by the population. It is also known that the effect is further increased by applying a hot compress over the analgesic / anti-inflammatory agent applied to the affected area. We wanted to arrange this common sense folk remedy more effectively.

  The steam towel measure is particularly effective for stiff shoulders and back pain, but the short heat retention time is a drawback. On the other hand, immediately after applying a patch that provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects to the affected area, the components of the drug can permeate and experience the effect, but soon the sense disappears. The present invention is intended to compensate for the conventional drawbacks and enhance the synergistic effect over a long period of time.

Means to solve the problem

  As a means to achieve the problem, first of all, as a measure to maintain the same effect as the steam towel that heats the affected area, paying attention to the disposable body warmer that generates heat for a long time due to the oxidation of iron powder, it has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. A water absorbing material infiltrated with a chemical solution is joined. The warming heat of the body warms the medicinal solution in the water-absorbing material to increase the warm compress effect, and the medicinal solution gradually permeates into the affected area where blood circulation has been promoted. Therefore, an effective therapeutic effect can be expected over a long period of time.

  Innumerable hole holes are distributed on one side of the bag sealed with a water-absorbing material containing a chemical solution as a diverging port for water vapor and chemical components. Note that an adhesive is applied to this surface in order to adhere to the body. The present invention has a flat shape in which a warmer bag of a heat source and two bags sealed with a water-absorbing material containing a chemical solution are bonded and integrated.

  The degree of penetration of the chemical into the water absorbing material is higher than that of a commercially available wet tissue, and it is desirable that the chemical does not overflow from the water absorbing material. In addition, from the holes distributed on the surface of the bag containing water absorbent material, as a measure to prevent evaporation of moisture and chemical components, and to cover the adhesive on the surface of the bag, a film is adhered to the front surface of the adhesive. deep.

  Since the present invention has a flat shape with one side of about 7 to 8 cm, it is easy to carry and can be easily attached to the affected area. When sticking to the affected part, peel off the film on the surface of the bag containing the water-absorbing material and stick it directly to the affected part.

  An example of a commercially available body warmer that generates heat due to the oxidizing action of iron powder is excellent in heat generation time exceeding 12 hours. Since this exothermic agent is contained in a breathable bag, it is necessary to block air first. As a countermeasure, when bonded and integrated with a bag containing a water absorbent material, the bag is completely sealed. Hereinafter, this bag is referred to as an outer bag. If the outer bag is broken during use, the heat generating material comes into contact with air through the breathable bag, so that oxidation proceeds and heat is gradually generated.

  The drug solution used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is the same as a commercially available drug having an analgesic / anti-inflammatory effect.

  In the case of the above-mentioned fever body warmer widely used, there is a risk of low-temperature burns, so a note is attached that it should not be applied directly to the affected area, but in the case of the present invention, a fever body warmer is included on the structure The bag is safe because it does not touch the human body directly.

The invention's effect

  With the continuous heat generation of the above body warmer, the water vapor and the components of the drug diverge from the hole in the bag of the water absorbing material, and the effect similar to a warm compress, It has the effect of promoting for a long time.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a top view of an exothermic body with an adhesive applied to one side of a bag. Reference numeral 1 denotes a bag, and 2 denotes a heat-generating material accommodating portion, on which an adhesive is applied. FIG. 2 is a bag having substantially the same area as FIG. 1, and a water-absorbing material in which a liquid analgesic / anti-inflammatory agent is infiltrated into a material having high water absorption is packed inside. 3 is a bag, and a safe adhesive is applied to the skin 4 on the surface of the bag. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hole, which is a discharge port for water vapor and chemical components.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a cross section of FIG. 2, and 6 is a water absorbing material. In constructing the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a breathable material is used for the bag, and an adhesive is applied only to one side thereof. A non-breathable material is used for the bag of FIG. Next, when the back surface of FIG. 2 is adhered to the adhesive surface 2 of FIG. 1, a film 7 is stuck on the entire surface in order to protect the adhesive 4 on the upper surface. FIG. 4 is a top view showing a state in which the film 7 is pasted after placing FIG. 2 on FIG.
FIG. 5 is a top view after completion. However, in this state, the bag containing the heat generating material has air permeability and causes oxidation of the heat generating material. Therefore, as a countermeasure, the completed FIG. 5 needs to be immediately sealed with a cellophane or vinyl bag. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view after the final process, 3 ′ indicates a heat generating material, and 8 indicates a bag for blocking air.
When affixing to an affected part, if the film 8 is first broken and then the film 7 is peeled, a surface to which an adhesive is applied appears. Just pressing this surface against the affected area will soon cause a fever phenomenon. Thereafter, the synergistic effect of the hot compress effect and the ingredients of the medicine continues for a long time.

I hear that the number of people complaining of back pain, stiff shoulders and muscle pain is increasing in recent years because of the spread of personal computers. Patches have been widely used for such symptoms. However, the effect was ephemeral and persistent.
The present invention focuses on a disposable body warmer that generates heat due to oxidation of iron powder, etc., and uses a combination of this and a water-absorbing material that permeates a chemical solution containing an analgesic / anti-inflammatory component, and a hot compress effect on the affected area. To promote blood flow and to maintain a synergistic effect by permeating the components of the medicine here, so that the therapeutic effect can be enhanced. It is very easy to use and has the advantage that it can be applied to the affected area at any time. In addition, the manufacturing process is simple, and conventional chemical products are sufficient. In addition, there is no worry of low temperature burns due to the heat generating material.
Conventionally, there is a heating tool for bringing a heating material into contact with a plaster applied to the skin, but the heating effect by a steaming towel has been lacking. In other words, the therapeutic effect acting synergistically with the warm compress effect that dissolves blood flow promotion and stiffness in the affected area was neglected. However, since the present invention fills this gap, a new therapeutic effect can be easily maintained.
