Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention is useful as an auxiliary member in the treatment of interdigital tinea, and The present invention relates to a therapeutic member that can also be used to prevent the recurrence of tinea.

0002

[Conventional technology]

In Japan, which has a temperate and rainy climate, there are many patients with interdigital tinea, and trinaftate-based treatment is recommended. In addition to drugs and imidazole-based therapeutics, antibiotic-based therapeutics have also been proposed, and newer drugs are being developed. Research into new therapeutic agents is also actively underway. However, these therapeutic drugs temporarily Although effective, it does not completely eradicate the ringworm fungus and often leads to recurrence. . In addition, although it has sufficient efficacy in the laboratory, various external factors may be added in the actual affected area. There are many cases where the original function is not demonstrated. In particular, patients with intertoe ringworm wear shoes. When you wear shoes, the area between your toes becomes moist due to sweat, etc., and warmed by your body temperature, which prevents ringworm fungus. The environment is always conducive to growth, and even if the above therapeutic agents are applied, complete recovery is almost impossible. The reality is that it is impossible. Also, even if the symptoms subside temporarily, the skin between the toes Some bacteria remain after infiltrating the water, and this will be reintroduced in the hot and humid environment mentioned above. It grows and causes interdigital ringworm.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

As mentioned above, there is currently no drug that can completely cure interdigital tinea. It has not yet been completed, and given its history, it is unlikely that a therapeutic drug will be developed soon. Very Hard to think.

0004 The present invention was developed in light of these circumstances, and is a treatment for intertoe ringworm. In addition to developing therapeutic drugs that suppress the growth of ringworm fungi and even kill them, we also need therapeutic drugs. A clinical approach to fully demonstrate the effects of tinea and to suppress the growth of tinea fungi from an environmental perspective. I have come to think that it is important to consider the matter from the field, and I hope to see the results of efforts from this direction. As a result, it has reached its perfection.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

The treatment member of the present invention is a member that covers the inter-toe valley floor, and includes a water-absorbing band made of water-absorbing material. A hygroscopic material that covers at least the circumferential surface of the water-absorbing band and that has higher moisture transfer properties than the water-absorbing band. The main feature is that it contains a moisture transmitting and dissipating part, and is suitable for the treatment of interdigital tinea. By using the treatment component of this invention, the progression of tinea can be prevented and treated. When a drug is applied, its medicinal efficacy is effectively expressed, thereby dramatically increasing the therapeutic effect. It is intended to increase the

[0006]

[Effect]

The treatment member according to the present invention can be applied to the area covering the bottom of the toes where trichophyton grows most easily. A treatment member comprising a water-absorbing band made of a water-absorbing material and a side surface in the longitudinal direction of the water-absorbing band. The main component is the moisture-absorbing, moisture-absorbing, moisture-transmitting and dissipating part that covers the area, and the area around the bottom of the valley between the toes. Moisture such as sweat generated on the sides is first quickly taken into the moisture absorption, moisture transmission, and dissipation section. , some of it moves to the outside through the moisture absorption, moisture transmission, and dissipation section due to capillary action, etc. It is dissipated into the air, and the other part is absorbed by the water absorption zone and then gradually dissipated. For example, normal sweat is taken into the water absorption band through the hygroscopic moisture transfer part and then gradually diffuses. However, it is dissipated to the outside from the moisture absorption and moisture transfer section. Also, if you sweat a lot. However, sweat travels through the hygroscopic moisture transmitting area, spreads widely to the hygroscopic moisture transmitting area, and then is absorbed. Either the moisture is directly radiated to the outside from the moisture transfer part, or it is placed in a water absorption band made of water absorption material. It is gradually dissipated after being absorbed, so it keeps the skin surface dry at all times. I can do that. In other words, the moisture absorption, moisture transmission and dissipation part has higher moisture transmission than the water absorption band, so it absorbs less moisture. It is kept drier than the aquatic zone, and therefore the skin surface is also kept dry. In addition, it prevents water droplets such as sweat from being taken into the water absorption band in the form of water droplets. It has the function of dispersing it on the surface, so it dries quickly and keeps the humidity on the skin surface low. can be done.

[0007] An effective way to prevent tinea toe is to destroy the growth environment for tinea fungi. Therefore, in this invention, as mentioned above, by absorbing and removing the moisture between the toes. The humid environment, which is one of the conditions for growth, is being eliminated. In other words, the growth of Trichophyton Moisture was thought to play an important role, but this point was not fully understood in treatment. I couldn't find anything, so I tried absorbing and removing the moisture between my toes using this therapeutic device. , the activity of Trichophyton is significantly suppressed, and interdigital tinea can be prevented even without the use of specific therapeutic agents. The symptoms have become lighter, and no worsening of the symptoms has been observed as long as the patient continues to use the treatment device of this invention. stomach. Furthermore, when a therapeutic drug is applied while using the therapeutic component of this invention, the therapeutic effect can be dramatically increased. You can

[0008] This will be explained in more detail below. The treatment component of this invention can fully demonstrate its usage effect. It is desirable to appropriately design the width, thickness, and length of the water absorption band in order to It depends on the size of your fingers, etc., but the width is 10 to 40 mm, and the thickness is 3 mm. ~15mm, and the length is preferably 25~80mm. especially width and thickness In addition to providing sufficient water absorption capacity to the water absorption band held between the toes, The above design also aims to prevent the toes from coming into contact with each other by creating a slight gap between the toes. becomes important. There are no particular restrictions on the material of the water absorption band; lump cotton, laminated Cotton, laminated cotton with pulp or polymer water absorbent sprinkled between the layers, pulp between thin paper An example is one in which a sheet is compressed with an intervening material.

[0009] The hygroscopic moisture transmission and dissipation part covers at least the side surface of the water absorption band, and in some cases Therefore, it may extend to the inside of the water absorption zone. For example, water absorption band components and hygroscopic moisture The transmission/dissipation part constituent members may be laminated and rolled in a sash shape, or The transmission/dissipation part component may exist independently within the water absorption zone. However, the moisture absorption The water dissipation part needs to have better moisture transfer properties than the water absorption zone. A configuration like this This makes it very easy for moisture on the skin surface or inside the water absorption zone to migrate. Sucking There are no particular restrictions on the material of the moisture transmission/dissipation part, but it may be made of cotton or chemical fiber. Preferred examples include woven fabrics or nonwoven fabrics.

0010 The treatment member of the present invention includes a water absorbing band and a moisture absorbing moisture transmitting and dissipating part as described above. If necessary, adhesive tape may be provided at both ends. The adhesive tape is When using the therapeutic device of this invention, place the device in contact with or pinched between the toes. It is for fixing, so protect the adhesive surface with release tape before use. By peeling off the release tape, you can expose the adhesive surface and ensure that it sticks to your feet. It can be done as follows.
