Description

  The present invention relates to a bag-containing antibacterial agent. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bag-containing antibacterial agent in which an antibacterial agent having an antibacterial substance supported on a porous inorganic solid carrier is contained in a bag.

In recent years, chlorine dioxide has attracted attention as a disinfectant that replaces chlorine. Conventionally, as a method for generating chlorine dioxide, it has been a mainstream to mix and react a sodium chlorite aqueous solution (stabilized chlorine dioxide aqueous solution) and an acid (activator) (Patent Document 1). However, it is difficult to say that such a method can be easily used by general users because it takes time and effort for mixing and may cause a side reaction.
As a technique for solving such a problem, a disinfectant having a chlorine dioxide gas adsorbed and held on a porous inorganic carrier has been developed (Patent Document 2). It is described that this disinfectant is filled and stored in a container, and the upper lid of the container is opened and chlorine dioxide gas is gradually diffused into the air from the opening.

  On the other hand, the following are known as cases and bags for storing drugs such as antibacterial substances. For example, there is known a slow-dispersion drug container in which a slow-diffusing drug is stored in a bag made of a gas-impermeable sheet, an opening is formed in the bag, and a drug release film is formed in the opening. (Patent Document 3). In addition, it is known that a deodorizing agent is sealed in a water-repellent nonwoven fabric and is stored in a resin cassette installed in a refrigerator (Patent Document 4).

<Embodiment 1>
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the bag-containing antibacterial agent of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A bag-containing antibacterial agent 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a bag body 2 (first bag body) made of a non-woven fabric and a bag body 3 (second bag body) made of an aluminum vapor-deposited film. In the bag body 2, the solid particulate antibacterial agent 4 is stored at a filling rate of about 60% of the volume of the bag body 2.

The bag body 2 has a rectangular sheet shape (length 45 mm × width 65 mm (internal space forming region)) when the antibacterial agent 4 is not accommodated. The bag body 2 is manufactured by folding a single nonwoven fabric in half and pasting the periphery.
The bag body 2 has micropores (not shown) having a diameter smaller than that of the sepiolite fine particles formed on the entire surface thereof. The micropores do not pass through sepiolite particles but pass through chlorine dioxide molecules.

The bag body 3 has a rectangular sheet shape (length 55 mm × width 85 mm (internal space forming region)) in a state where the bag body 2 that houses the antibacterial agent 4 is not housed. The bag 3 is manufactured by stacking two aluminum vapor deposition films and pressing the periphery. The crimping part 32 on the long side of the bag body 3 is wide at the center, and an elongated hole 5 for attaching a strap (not shown) is formed at the center. The bag 3 should just be formed with the material which does not permeate | transmit an antimicrobial substance substantially.
Moreover, it is preferable that it is a light-shielding material from a viewpoint of maintaining the stability of an antibacterial substance.

The bag body 3 has a volume approximately 1.6 times that of the bag body 2. In addition, the volume in the case of using a flat bag body like this embodiment can be approximated by the area of the front surface of the bag body (portion corresponding to the internal space forming region).
Here, the volume ratio of the bag body 2 and the bag body 3 is preferably about 1: 3 to 1: 1.2, more preferably about 1: 2 to 1: 1.2. By setting it as such a range, a moderate clearance can be formed between the bag body 2 and the bag body 3, and the sustained release property to the atmosphere of an antibacterial substance, which will be described in detail later, is ensured. Can do. In particular, by using a flat bag 3, an appropriate gap can be formed at a predetermined position between the bag 2 and the bag 3. This effect will be described in detail later.

The bag 3 is provided with eight discharge holes 31 having a diameter of about 4 mm at the edge of the long side.
The discharge hole 31 is blocked by a peelable seal 6. When using a bag-containing antibacterial agent, the seal 6 is peeled off to open the discharge hole 31 (see FIG. 2).

The antibacterial agent 4 is obtained by physically adsorbing and supporting chlorine dioxide on porous fine particles (number average particle size 0.1 mm) made of sepiolite. A method of adsorbing chlorine dioxide on an inorganic solid support such as sepiolite is known (see Patent Document 2). For example, an inorganic acid is added to an aqueous sodium nitrite solution, and the resulting mixture is washed with an aqueous sodium chlorite solution to convert chlorine in the mixture into chlorine dioxide to produce chlorine dioxide, Adsorbed to a solid support.
Chlorine dioxide in the antibacterial agent 4 is dissociated from sepiolite by physical force such as vibration of surrounding air or collision of fine particles.

Here, the particle size of the inorganic solid carrier such as sepiolite is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 1 mm. Moreover, it is preferable that a number average particle diameter exists in the range of 0.01-1 mm. In the present invention, the number average particle diameter can be determined by measuring with an apparatus using the principle of the laser diffraction / scattering method.
By setting the particle size within a certain range, the fluidity of the antibacterial agent 4 can be controlled, and the release of the antibacterial substance from the first bag can be stably continued. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of increasing the effect, the filling rate of the inorganic solid carrier in the first bag body is preferably about 30 to 80%, preferably about 40 to 70%. The filling rate in the present invention can be determined by dividing the apparent volume when the antibacterial agent is filled under non-compression by the capacity of the first bag.
The higher the fluidity and the lower the filling rate, the easier the release of antibacterial substances.

Next, the mechanism of chlorine dioxide release in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
Chlorine dioxide carried on the sepiolite fine particles constituting the antibacterial agent 4 is dissociated from the surface of the fine particles by the flow of air generated by vibration of the antibacterial agent 1 in the bag, the collision of the fine particles constituting the antibacterial agent 4, etc. The fine holes formed on the entire surface of the bag body 2 made of a nonwoven fabric are discharged out of the bag body 2. In a normal state, the bag body 2 that houses the antibacterial agent 4 has the greatest thickness around the central portion thereof, and is in contact with the inside of the bag body 3. On the other hand, the bag body 2 that houses the antibacterial agent 4 has a thickness that decreases toward the end, and forms a gap S1 and a gap S2 with the bag body 3 that has a larger volume than the bag body 2. Chlorine dioxide released from the fine holes of the bag body 2 is temporarily held in the gap S1 and gradually released from the discharge holes 31 of the bag body 3. Further, the chlorine dioxide temporarily held in the gap S <b> 2 slowly diffuses into the gap S <b> 1 in the bag 3 and is gradually released from the discharge hole 31.

  Here, the case where the impact and vibration which may be produced at the time of carrying are added to the antimicrobial agent 1 in a bag are demonstrated. When an impact or vibration is applied, the air around the antibacterial agent 4 vibrates, or the fine particles of the antibacterial agent 4 collide, and a larger amount of chlorine dioxide dissociates from the fine particles than in a stationary state. The dissociated chlorine dioxide is released from the fine holes of the bag body 2 into the gap S1 and the gap S2, and is temporarily held in the gap. Chlorine dioxide held in the gap S 1 communicating with the discharge hole 3 is gradually released from the discharge hole 31.

If the discharge hole is not provided at the edge of the bag body 3, for example, in the vicinity of the center, the effect of temporarily holding chlorine dioxide in the gap cannot be sufficiently obtained, and a strong impact is applied. In some cases, chlorine dioxide may be released at once. This is because the impact is most easily applied to the thickest central portion of the bag body 3.
In the case of this embodiment, even when pressure is applied to the edge of the bag body 3, only the amount of chlorine dioxide held in the gap S1 is released at a time, and a predetermined amount or more of chlorine dioxide is released. The risk of being released at once can be avoided.

  The size of the gap can be changed by adjusting the volume ratio of the first bag body and the second bag body. The larger the gap, the greater the amount of antimicrobial substance that can be released at a time when pressure is applied to the edge. That is, the volume ratio of each bag may be determined in consideration of the allowable amount and toxicity of the antimicrobial substance to be used.

  In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where chlorine dioxide was used as an antibacterial substance, it is also possible to use an antibacterial metal etc. in addition to this.

  The bag-containing antibacterial agent 1 peels off the seal 6 and opens the discharge hole 31 during use (see FIG. 2). The antibacterial agent 1 in a bag can be attached to a long hole 5 by a strap and can be lowered by a person from the neck, or can be placed in any space such as a room, a car interior, or a refrigerator.
