Wound suturing band {BAND FOR SUTURING A WOUND}

The present invention relates to a wound closure band, and more particularly, to a wound closure band capable of minimizing scarring of a wound area by easily suturing a damaged or incised wound area.

ㄹ Generally, when a wound occurs on the skin, a drug such as a therapeutic ointment is applied and a band is attached to prevent the invasion of bacteria or the like on the wound.

However, when an open or incised wound occurs in the skin, a general band only functions to keep the wound area clean, and there is a problem that the function of sealing the open or incised wound is not provided.

In particular, in the case of a general consumer, there is a problem that it is difficult to easily determine whether a suture operation in a hospital is necessary by looking at the depth of the wound and the open or incised state of the wound.

In order for the skin to heal open or incised wounds more quickly and to minimize scarring at the wound site, it is desirable to keep the gaps between the open or incisions narrower.

Registered Patent No. 10-0773326 (hereinafter referred to as'prior patent') discloses a band for surgical wound closure. Specifically, the prior patent discloses a feature of pressing a metal needle bent downward into a staple shape into the skin.

1A is a plan view of a wound closure band according to an embodiment of the present invention, (b) is a side view of the wound closure band, and (c) is a view showing a colloidal case included in the wound closure band. For convenience of explanation, the x-axis direction is defined as the length direction and the y-axis direction is the width direction in FIG. 1A.

First, referring to Figure 1 (a) and (b), the wound sealing band 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided on the lower surface of the band body (110, 130), the band body (110, 130) It may include a gauze 150, and a colloidal case 170 provided on the upper surface of the band body (110, 130).

The band bodies 110 and 130 may be formed of an elastic material. For example, the band bodies 110 and 130 may be formed of an elastic material or an elastic sheet. In addition, an adhesive layer 120 may be provided on the lower surfaces of the band bodies 110 and 130. Therefore, when the band bodies 110 and 130 are attached to the wounded portion of the patient, the band bodies 110 and 130 may be attached to the periphery of the wound while pulling the skin around the wound in a desired direction. .

The gauze 150 may be formed of sterile gauze to cover the wound area of the patient. The gauze 150 may be provided on the lower surfaces of the band bodies 110 and 130.

For example, the gauze 150 may be attached to the lower surfaces of the band bodies 110 and 130 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the band bodies 110 and 130. Specifically, the gauze 150 may be attached to a lower surface of at least one of the first adjustment body 112 and the second adjustment body 132 to be described later.

The above-described adhesive layer 120 may be formed on the lower surfaces of the band bodies 110 and 130 except for the region of the gauze 150.

The colloid case 170 may be formed to accommodate a colloid. That is, a colloid may be accommodated in the colloid case 170.

Here, the colloid is a material in which nanoparticles are dispersed in a medium, and is sometimes used in terms such as colloidal solution, colloidal particle, nanoparticle, nanocolloid, and colloidal nanoparticle, and is a material already known in various fields.

Colloidal materials can be used in a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials such as metals including gold, silver and copper, oxides including silicon oxide and iron oxide, proteins, polymers, host-guest polymers, and biological/biological-derived molecules. I can. This, too, is a known technique.

According to recent research results [Rose et al., Nature volume　505,　pages382-385(2014)], it was reported that nanoparticles have a bioadhesive effect by providing a high specific surface area without other complex additives. This proves that the direct use of an oxide/inorganic colloidal material that has been proven to be non-hazardous to the human body is possible.

When the wound sealing band 100 is attached to the wound area, the colloid accommodated in the colloid case 170 may flow out of the colloid case 170 and flow into the wound area. And, by the bio-adhesive effect of the colloid, the wound area can be effectively adhered. Therefore, if rapid recovery of the wound area is possible, the scar on the wound area can be minimized.

In particular, the bio-adhesive effect by such a colloid may act advantageously for suturing an open or incised wound area.

The colloid case 170 may be provided on the upper surfaces of the band bodies 110 and 130. For example, the colloid case 170 may be disposed at the center of the band bodies 110 and 130 in the longitudinal direction. Specifically, it is preferable that the colloid case 170 is disposed at a position corresponding to the gauze 150 on the upper surface of the band body 110 and 130.

The colloid case 170 may be formed to be opened by an external force. That is, the colloid case 170 may be formed of a material that can be opened by an external force. For example, the colloid case 170 may be formed of a resin material, vinyl, or thin film plastic material.

When the colloid case 170 is opened by an external force, the colloid accommodated in the colloid case 170 may come out of the colloid case 170 and flow toward the gauze 150.

That is, when the colloid case 170 is opened, the colloid in the colloid case 170 may flow to the wound area of the patient located under the gauze 150.

When the colloid flows into the wound area of the patient, the wound area may be sutured or adhered by the bioadhesive effect of the colloid.

Referring further to (c) of FIG. 1, the colloid case 170 may include one or more notches 171. The colloidal case 170 may be easily opened through the notch part 171, and the opening process of the colloidal case 170 will be described in detail below with reference to other drawings.

Hereinafter, a structure of a wound closure band according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with further reference to FIG. 2.

Figure 2 is a perspective view for explaining the structure of the wound suturing band according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 2 is a view showing a wound sealing band in a state in which the gauze 150 and the colloid case 170 are not shown. That is, it is obvious that the gauze 150 and the colloid case 170 described with reference to FIG. 1 can be equally applied to FIG. 2.

1 and 2 together, the band bodies 110 and 130 may include a first band body 110 and a second band body 130 that are disposed to be separated from each other. The first band body 110 and the second band body 130 may be disposed on the same plane, and may be disposed parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction of the band bodies 110 and 130.

The first band body 110 and the second band body 130 may be connected to each other through one or more connecting members 180. The connecting member 180 is formed of the same material as the band bodies 110 and 130, but may have a fine diameter. In addition, the connection member 180 may be integrally formed with the first band body 110 and the second band body 130.

Accordingly, the connecting member 180 can be easily cut by pulling at least one of the first band body 110 and the second band body 130. When the connecting member 180 is cut, the first band body 110 and the second band body 130 may be separated from each other.

The first band body 110 may include a first support body 111 and a first adjustment body 112. The first support body 111 and the first adjustment body 112 may be integrally formed.

The first support body 111 may be formed in a predetermined area to be attached to the periphery of the wound area of the patient.

The width of the first adjustment body 112 may be smaller than the width of the first support body 111. The first adjustment body 112 may be formed to extend from the first support body 111 toward the second band body 130. That is, the first adjustment body 112 may extend from the first support body 111 toward the second support body 131 to be described later.

For example, one first adjustment body 112 may extend from an end of the first support body 111 toward the second band body 130 toward the second band body 130.

An adhesive layer may be provided on a lower surface of the first adjustment body 112. In addition, the end (ie, the free end) of the first adjustment body 112 may be gripped by the user's hand. With the first adjustment body 112 pulled toward the second band body 130, the free end of the first adjustment body 112 may be attached to the upper surface of the second band body 130. .

The second band body 130 may include a second support body 131 and a second adjustment body 132. The second support body 131 and the second adjustment body 132 may be integrally formed.

The second support body 131 may be formed in a predetermined area to be attached to the periphery of the wound area of the patient. For example, the second support body 131 may be disposed opposite to the first support body 111 and attached to the periphery of the wound area of the patient.

The width of the second adjustment body 132 may be smaller than the width of the second support body 131. The second adjustment body 132 may be formed to extend from the second support body 131 toward the first band body 130. That is, the second adjustment body 132 may extend from the second support body 131 toward the first support body 111 described above.

For example, a pair of second adjustment bodies 132 may extend toward the first band body 110 from an end of the second support body 131 facing the first band body 110. .

Specifically, a pair of second adjustment bodies 132 may be arranged side by side on both sides of the first adjustment body 112 in the width direction. That is, the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 and the first adjustment bodies 112 may be disposed to overlap each other in the width direction. In other words, a space is formed between the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 spaced apart from each other in the width direction, and the first adjustment body 112 may be disposed in a state inserted into the space.

In this case, in order to easily pull the pair of second adjustment bodies 132, the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 may be connected to each other through the connection body 135. For example, the second band body 130 may further include a connection body 135 connecting the free ends of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 to each other.

The connection body 135 may be formed to extend in the width direction of the wound sealing band 100.

Specifically, the connection body 135 may be disposed to cross the first adjustment body 112 in the width direction. That is, the connection body 135 may be disposed above the first control body 112 to cross the first control body 112 in the width direction.

Both ends of the connection body 135 may be fixed to the free ends of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the wound sealing band 100. In other words, the lower surfaces of both ends of the connection body 135 may be attached to the upper surfaces of the free ends of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132.

In addition, the connection body 135 is not attached to the upper surface of the first adjustment body 112.

The connection body 135 may be formed of an elastic material or a metal material (eg, aluminum, etc.). When the connection body 135 is formed of an elastic material, the connection body 135 may be formed of the same material as the second adjustment body 132 and integrally with the second adjustment body 132. In contrast, when the connection body 135 is formed of a metal material, the connection body 135 may be attached to the free ends of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132.

Therefore, when the user wants to pull the pair of second adjustment bodies 132, by pulling the connection body 135, all of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 can be easily pulled.

An adhesive layer may be provided on a lower surface of the second adjustment body 132. In addition, the end (ie, the free end) of the second adjustment body 132 may be gripped by the user's hand. With the second adjustment body 132 pulled toward the first band body 110, the free end of the second adjustment body 132 may be attached to the upper surface of the first band body 110. .

As described above, since the first control body 112 and the second control body 132 can be pulled in opposite directions to be fixed, the open or incised wound area of the patient is pulled so that the boundary surface of the wound is aligned. Can be fixed.

On the other hand, before the first adjustment body 112 and the second adjustment body 132 are fixed in a pulled state, the aforementioned colloidal case 170 needs to be opened.

The colloid case 170 may be opened by lifting the first adjustment body 112.

Specifically, the above-described connection member 180 may be formed to connect the first adjustment body 112 and the second adjustment body 132. For example, the connection member 180 may be disposed to connect both side surfaces of the first adjustment body 112 in the width direction and the inner surface of the second adjustment body 132 in the width direction. Here, the inner side surface of the second adjustment body 132 in the width direction refers to a side surface of the pair of second adjustment bodies 132 facing the outer surface of the first adjustment body 112.

A plurality of connection members 180 may be provided. In the illustrated embodiment, four connecting members 180 are provided, but the number of connecting members 180 is not limited thereto. In addition, the connecting member 180 may be formed to be easily cut by an external force (eg, a pulling force).

The user may cut the connection member 180 by lifting the first adjustment body 112. In this case, the first adjustment body 112 may be separated from the second adjustment body 132.

In addition, the colloidal case 170 may be opened when the first adjustment body 112 is lifted.

Specifically, the colloid case 170 may be disposed to cover at least a portion of the upper surface of the first adjustment body 112. In this case, the colloidal case 170 may or may not be attached to the upper surface of the first adjustment body 112. In addition, both side portions 175 (refer to (c) of FIG. 1) of the colloid case 170 may be attached to the upper surface of the second adjustment body 132. That is, both side portions 175 of the lower surface of the colloid case 170 may be attached to the upper surface of the second adjustment body 132.

Accordingly, when the first adjustment body 112 is lifted, an external force acts on the colloid case 170 to open the colloid case 170.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1C, in order to facilitate opening of the colloid case 170, the colloid case 170 may include a notch portion 171.

For example, the notch portion 171 may be formed at a position corresponding to at least one of both side portions 115 in the width direction of the first adjustment body 112 (refer to (a) of FIG. 1 ). Preferably, the notch portions 171 may be disposed to correspond to both side portions 115 in the width direction of the first adjustment body 112. More preferably, two notch portions 171 may be disposed to correspond to both corners of the first adjustment body 112 in the width direction.

Accordingly, when the first adjustment body 112 is lifted, the colloid case 170 may be cut (or opened) based on the notch 171 of the colloid case 170.

The colloid released from the open colloid case 170 may flow downward toward the wound site of the patient.

Referring to FIG. 2, a gap 190 may be formed between the first band body 110 and the second band body 130. Specifically, the gap 190 is between the side surface of the first adjustment body 112 and the side surface of the second adjustment body 132, the free end of the first adjustment body 112 and the second support body ( 131) and between the free end of the second adjustment body 132 and the first support body 111, respectively.

The colloid released from the colloid case 170 flows downward through the gap 190 and may reach the wound site of the patient.

In addition, at least one of the first control body 112 and the second control body 132 may be formed of a porous material. That is, a plurality of fine through holes 140 may be formed in at least one of the first adjustment body 112 and the second adjustment body 132.

Accordingly, the colloid discharged from the colloid case 170 may flow downward through the through hole 140 to reach the wounded portion of the patient.
