[0001] Finger applying device [0002]

The present invention relates to a finger applicator which is mounted on a finger, and more particularly to a finger applicator which is provided with a liquid, a gel, a semi-solid medicine, The present invention relates to a finger applying device capable of continuously supplying and applying a material by replacing a material storage portion or refilling a material by constituting a removable capsule or tubular material storage portion which is discharged and applied outside.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease that usually starts in infancy or childhood and is associated with pruritus (itching), dry skin, and characteristic eczema. Atopic dermatitis is a worldwide increasing trend and its prevalence is reported to be 20% of the population.

As such, atopic dermatitis is a major symptom of severe pruritus (itching), dry skin, and skin lesions. Drying of the skin causes itching and worsens it. During the day, it is intermittently itchy, especially in the early evening or at midnight. Itching and scratching can lead to eczematous skin lesions (pathological changes), and a vicious cycle in which these lesions progress and cause more severe itching again. In addition, patients with atopic dermatitis are relatively vulnerable to skin infections, and infections of viruses, superficial mycoses, and bacteria occur at a high frequency.

To treat such atopic dermatitis, moisturization of dry skin is needed to relieve pruritus, corticosteroids for the treatment of dermatitis, immunomodulators, topical immunomodulators and antihistamines for the treatment of itch.

However, patients with atopic dermatitis scratching the itchy skin with hands may aggravate the skin by irritating the skin, or it is likely to cause secondary infection by bacteria in the nail. In particular, since atopic dermatitis patients are difficult to apply moisturizing or therapeutic agents to their skin during sleep, skin irritation symptoms are liable to be worsened if the affected areas are unconsciously repeatedly scratched while sleeping.

In order to prevent such problems, patients with atopic dermatitis may wear cotton gloves or put a bandage on their fingers when sleeping. However, patients who feel frustrated during sleep may unconsciously take off their gloves or peel off the bandage with friction There is no effect when it is lost, and there is a limit in that it can not be an alternative to apply a moisturizing agent or a therapeutic agent during sleeping. Also, atopic gloves have been developed in the past, but they are easily peeled off by scratching or unconsciousness during sleep, or gloves made of cotton products may cause burns due to frictional heat when the gloves are severely scratched, Which is troublesome and vulnerable to bacterial infection.

In order to solve such a problem, the applicant has proposed a medical device comprising a thimble-type body made of an antibacterial silicone material, a liquid bag provided at a portion of the body that contacts the fingertip when the body is put on a finger, A plurality of protrusions protruding from the outer surface of the portion contacting the fingertip during insertion, and a liquid discharge hole formed between the protrusions and communicating with the liquid bag. However, the patented invention has a somewhat difficult limitation in the method of filling and refilling the lotion and the therapeutic agent in the liquid pocket, and in order to mass-produce, development of a finger applying device having a more simple and efficient structure Has been required.

Conventionally, cosmetics cotton has been used to apply cosmetics to skin. However, such cosmetics cotton can not be used more than once, cosmetics are often missed during use, cosmetics are wasted on cotton and are not economical There was a problem. In addition to cosmetics and medicines, it is necessary to manually or separately use tools to apply reagents, lubricants, paints, and the like to various hardware and devices, And there has been a demand for development of an efficient finger applicator for solving the problem.
