Description

Technical field
[0001]
The présent invention related to hypochlorite solution having excellent bactericidal effects and safety.
io Background art
[0002]
Conventionally, hypochlorous acid has been utilized for pharmaceuticals, tap water, foods and the like as sodium hypochlorite. Also, hypochlorous acid is commercially available for household products in an aqueous solution form or 15 powder form.
[0003]
The hypochlorite solution is prepared by mixing sodium hypochlorite (NaCIO), dilute hydrochloric acid and water. Both of sodium hypochlorite and tap water are approved substances as food additives, and water is a harmless substance. Therefore, hypochlorite solution is one of highly valued pharmaceutical as the harmless bactericidal agent on a human body. [0004]
Recent years, medical devices directly inserted into human body become popular. It is expected that treatment by using such medical devices gives less burden to a patient compared to thoracotomy or laparotomy, and shorter stay in a hospital. On the other hand, inadéquate sterilization such medical device increases a risk of infection for the patient. Sometimes, the inadequately sterilized medical devices cause nosocomial infection. In order to avoid such infection, hypochlorite acid solution is used for the sterilization of the medical devices. Since hypochlorite solution is strong alkali higher than pH 12, it remained on the sterilized medical devices may irritate human skin of which pH is in a range between pH 4.5 to 6.0.
[0005]
In order to weaken such irritation, sodium hypochlorite solution is usually diluted. However, sodium hypochlorite solution causes the problem that it particularly decomposed at pH not higher than 7. Furthermore, under the acidic condition not higher than pH 5, it rapidly generates chlorine gas. Therefore, devices for inhibiting the chlorine gas disclosed in the patent document 1 or 2 are developed.
