Description

Cupping pad for generating oxygen radical

The present invention relates to a cupping pad, and more particularly, to a cupping pad capable of absorbing blood stagnation discharged from a treatment site during a cupping therapy procedure.

The various diseases invented in the present day are mainly caused by disorders of metabolic action (代謝作用) caused by overeating, lack of exercise, stress, alcohol, tobacco, and the natural environment.

Herbal remedies used to treat these various diseases include Bobeop (補法), which is a method of treating diseases by boosting energy, and Sabeop (瀉法), which is a method to treat diseases by extracting bad energy.

Among the above-described judicial treatments, the most commonly used cupping therapy is bad blood that clumps in the skin by attaching a cupping machine having a shape like a paper or a jar to the affected area of the acupuncture points and maintaining the air for a certain period of time ( Eohyeol: refers to a treatment that purifies the constitution by extracting (瘀血).

Such cupping therapy provides smooth metabolism, purifying the blood that contains a lot of carbon dioxide to contain a lot of oxygen, improving blood circulation by expanding capillaries, discharging wastes or toxins, restoring excited nerves and restoring paralyzed nerves, and reducing pain. In addition to the palliative effect, it is known to have effects such as digestion, bowel control, and sleep improvement by stimulating the autonomic nervous system.

In order to perform cupping therapy as described above, a cupping device, which is a dedicated instrument, is used. These cupping machines are largely divided into a heating type formed in a simple bell shape or a pot shape, and a compression type formed in a bell shape or a pot shape and in which a suction valve is installed at the top.

Cupping therapy using a conventional compression formula treats blood stagnation by filling the inside of the cupping with cotton, such as cotton wool, in order to absorb the blood discharged into the cupping, and then inhaling the air inside the cupping through a suction valve. At this time, in the conventional cupping therapy using the compression formula, since the cotton wool is filled inside the cupping machine, the air inside the cupping machine is not easily sucked through the suction valve, and the cotton wool absorbing blood stagnation is blocked by the suction valve.

The cover layer 130 may surround the absorbent layer 110 and the fibrous layer 120, and specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the cover layer 130 is a tissue carrier having capillary distribution characteristics. I can.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cupping pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is inserted into the cupping device 1 and is in close contact with the inner wall 2 of the cupping device 1, so that the suction valve ( 3) not only allows the air inside the cupping machine 1 to be easily absorbed, but also the blood discharged from the skin covered by the cupping machine 1 due to the pressure difference generated by inhaling the air inside the cupping machine 1 The cupping machine (1) can absorb blood stagnation with high absorption so that it does not leak to the outside.

On the other hand, the cupping machine (1) is located at the top of the cylindrical inner wall (2), the hemispherical dome (4) and dome (4) located above the inner wall (2) to communicate the inside and the outside of the cupping machine (1). It may comprise an intake valve (3).

Accordingly, the circumference of the inner circumferential surface of the cupping machine 1 is the same from the lowermost end of the inner wall 2 to the uppermost end of the inner wall 2, and may be shortened from the lowermost end to the uppermost end of the dome 4.

In this case, the cupping pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed such that the height h1 is the same as the height h2 of the inner wall 2 of the cupping device 1.

4 is a schematic view showing the front surface of a cupping pad 100' according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a cupping pad 100' according to another embodiment of the present invention is inserted into the cupping machine 1 It is a diagram showing the process of becoming.

Since the cupping pad 100 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes only the cutout 140 compared to the cupping pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a repeated description will be omitted.

4 and 5, the incision 140 is formed by being cut so that the top of the cupping pad 100' is inclined toward the center of the cupping machine (c-c') corresponding to the circumference of the inner circumferential surface of the cupping machine 1. Can be.

Specifically, the cutout 140 may be formed by cutting the top of the cupping pad 100 ′ in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the cupping pad 100 ′.

In this case, the cutout 140 may be formed to correspond to the height of the dome 4 of the cupping machine whose inner circumferential surface is shorter than the inner wall 2 of the cupping machine 1.

Specifically, the incision length i may be set corresponding to the height h2 (height at which the dome 4 starts) of the inner wall 2 of the cupping part 140. In other words, the incision 140 is the incision length i from the first incision s1 at the top of the cupping pad 100 ′ to the second incision s2 at the middle of the cupping pad 100 ′ and the cupping machine The cut length i may be set such that the sum of the height h2 of the inner wall 2 of (1) is the same as the height h1 of the cupping pad 100'.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the cupping pad 100 ″ is wound, the support 150 may be unfolded from the inner side and protrude from the inner side.

Thereafter, when the support part 150 is absorbed by the cupping pad 100 ″ and the supporting force is reduced, the end of the cupping pad 100 ″ is supported by contacting the inner surface of the cupping pad 100 ″, so that the cupping pad 100 ″ collapses. It can prevent the phenomenon.

Accordingly, the cupping pad 100 ″ does not collapse even if the blood stagnation is absorbed and the supporting force is reduced, so that the skin discharging stagnation and the suction valve 3 of the cupping machine 1 may not be blocked.

To this end, the support part 150 does not absorb moisture and may be formed of a material having rigidity enough to support the cupping pad 100”.

Example

An absorbent layer material was prepared by mixing 2 g and 4 g of an oxygen generator, calcium peroxide and an acrylic superabsorbent resin, respectively (weight ratio = 1: 2).

Thereafter, the absorbent layer material prepared above was filled in the inside of the mold (material: styrene steel), and a pressure of 2 atm was applied to prepare a rectangular (width 4 mm, length 3 mm, and thickness 2 mm) absorber pad.

A breathable sheet was prepared by depositing 25% by weight of nano silver particles on the surface of the low-density polyethylene film based on the total weight of the low-density polyethylene film.

At this time, a commonly known method was used so that an uneven structure may be formed on the surface of the breathable sheet.

Thereafter, 25% by weight of the fiber layer pad and nano silver particles are included, and after sequentially laminating a low-density polyethylene film having an uneven structure on the surface, an absorbent layer pad, and a fiber layer pad, heat (250° C.) and pressure (2 atm) are applied. It was compressed using a roll, and the compressed product was taken out and surrounded by a cover layer pad to prepare a cupping pad.

Comparative Example 1: Preparation of cupping pad

A cupping pad was prepared under the same conditions as in the above Example, except that 2 g and 2 g of an oxygen generator, calcium peroxide and an acrylic superabsorbent resin were mixed (weight ratio = 1: 1) to prepare an absorbent layer material.

Comparative Example 2: Preparation of cupping pad

A cupping pad was prepared under the same conditions as in the above Example, except that 2 g and 20 g of an oxygen generator, calcium peroxide and an acrylic superabsorbent resin were mixed (weight ratio = 1:10) to prepare an absorbent layer material.

Through the above results, calcium peroxide and acrylic superabsorbent resin are mixed in a weight ratio of 1:2, so that the sterilization ability of calcium peroxide, which is an oxygen generator, and the moisture absorption ability of the acrylic superabsorbent resin, exert synergy, so food is not easily spoiled. It was confirmed that the cupping pad of the present invention has excellent drop absorption ability and sterilization effect.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 3, in the case of the cupping pad manufactured according to Comparative Example 1, when left at room temperature for 5 days, the tangerines began to partially decay, and when left for 10 days, 80% of the total area of the tangerines It was confirmed that the abnormality was corrupted.

In addition, referring to FIG. 4, in the case of the cupping pad manufactured according to Comparative Example 2, when left at room temperature for 5 days, more than 60% of the total area of the oranges began to decay, and when left for 10 days, identification was impossible. The whole area of the mandarin orange was decayed.

Through the above results, it was confirmed that there is a problem in that the absorption ability of the droplets caused by exudation is lowered by mixing calcium peroxide and the acrylic superabsorbent resin at a weight ratio of 1:1 (Comparative Example 1), and also calcium peroxide and acrylic superabsorbent resin It was confirmed that there is a problem that the sterilization effect is insignificant because the water absorbent resin is mixed at a weight ratio of 1:10.

Therefore, through the above information, by using calcium peroxide among various oxygen generators, and mixing in a weight ratio of 1:2 using acrylic superabsorbent resin among superabsorbent polymers, optimal absorption capacity and sterilization effect can be expected.
