Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a system and method whereby contaminants may be selectively removed from skin.
- the present invention is directed to a system and method which uses particles having a degree of magnetism wherein the particles are constructed and arranged to remove particular contaminants, such as microbial contaminants and debris, further wherein the particles and the contaminants are then removed from the skin using magnets.
- Different cleaning products are used which include detergents. These detergents effectively remove excess oils and fluids, thereby reducing the number of both beneficial and non-beneficial microbes.
- the non- beneficial microbes still exist on the skin, just in lower numbers. Additionally, if too much oil is removed from the skin, then dryness of the skin could result.
- Other products have introduced microbiocides which are effective at killing all microbes on the skin. However, since these microbiocides eliminate beneficial microbes as well as non-beneficial microbes, these products destroy beneficial skin ecology and thus have a negative impact on skin health.
- the present invention is directed to a system and method of removing microbial contaminants from skin.
- the system utilizes receptor materials which selectively bind to the microbe or microbes of interest.
- the receptor materials are placed on the surface of the skin wherein they attach to and bind the microbes. Then, the receptor material and bound microbes are removed from the skin. This allows non- beneficial microbes to be removed while beneficial microbes remain, thereby maintaining skin health or expediting the healing of wounds.
- the system preferably includes the use of particles onto which the receptor materials are placed. These particles are designed to be placed on the skin wherein the receptor materials may bind to the desired microbes. Then, means are provided which remove the particles and the accompanying receptor material and microbes from the surface of the skin. Preferably, the present invention utilizes particles which have a magnetic charge. Then, after these magnetic particles are used to remove the microbes, magnets may be used to remove the magnetic particles from the skin. The magnets may be used alone or they may be imbedded in a fabric which is placed in close proximity to the skin to thereby remove the magnetic particles.
- the present invention can also be used with a multitude of different personal care items such as diapers, tissues, feminine products, wipes, bandages, and cleansing materials.
- Figure 2 is a graphical representation of the effectiveness of the present invention at removing E. coli attached to skin.
- Figure 3 a graphical representation of the effectiveness of the present invention at removing C. albicans from skin using Magnetic Cellulose Particles.
- the present invention is directed to a system and method for removing contaminants from skin.
- the system may be used to remove a wide range of contaminants such as debris or microbes.
- the system preferably utilizes ligands which bind to the contaminant of interest. Then, the ligands and the bound contaminants are removed leaving desirable microbes to maintain skin health.
- the ligands are associated with particulate materials which are applied to the skin whereupon the ligand or charge can bind to the contaminant of interest. Then, means are provided which remove the particulate material.
- the particulate materials have a magnetic charge and these magnetic particles are removed through the use of magnets. Depending on the desired use, these magnets may be located within a personal care product.
- the system employs reactive superparamagnetic monodispersed microspheres (SMM) that are coated, with ligands to specifically bind the target microbes.
- the magnetic particles may be either positively or negatively charged to thereby attract and bind other desired microbes and contaminants.
- the charge may be given to the particle by at least two methods. One would be to use material that already has the appropriate charge. This would be example by the use of cellulose to impart an overall negative charge. Conversely, chitin could be used to impart an overall positive charge to the particle.
- the second method would be to modify the materials by chemical means to change the charge characteristic of the surface. For example, addition of amines would impart a positive charge addition of carboxyl groups a negative charge.
- Native silanol groups on the surface of silica microspheres are readily reacted with aqueous or solvent- based silane coupling agents to yield preactivated silica microspheres with a large variety of surface functional groups. Examples include chloromethyl, carboxyl, and amino groups.
- Oligonucleotides can be covalently bound to surface- modified silica via the 5 '-amino end. Lipids can be bound via the carboxyl group on the fatty acid chain and propylamine surface groups on the silica.
- the present invention also includes methods of removing contaminants from skin by applying particles having the ability to selectively bind to a contaminant or contaminants of interest. Then, the particles are removed from the skin to clear away the undesirable contaminants.
- selective bind is meant that the particles can adhere to certain intended contaminants and not adhere to certain other non-intended materials.
- the present invention utilizes magnetic particles.
- these magnetic particles comprise a particle containing iron.
- the particle is non-toxic and is capable of binding a ligand thereto.
- Particles useful in the present invention include those made from natural polymers, random copolymers, or plastics. Representative examples include natural polymers such as cellulose; random copolymers such as polybutylene copolymer, polyethylene, polypropylene copolymers, polyethylene elastomers; and plastics such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, rayon, nylon, polyvinylidine chloride, and polyesters, chitin, starch, dextran and modified-starch. Silica could be used as an inorganic carrier. Other inorganic carriers might include clays. The type of particle used will vary depending several considerations, including the intended use or the contaminant to be removed. However, in general, natural polymers, such as cellulose, impregnated with iron are the preferred type of particle.
- the size of the particle may also vary depending on the intended use or the product in which the particle is to be used. However, if the particle is too large, it may aggravate the skin as it is applied. Therefore, in general, the preferred particle are smaller in size. Preferably, the particles are less than about 25 ⁇ m in diameter. More preferably, the particles are from about 3-4 ⁇ m in diameter.
- the amount of iron contained within each particle will vary depending on the amount of charge desired, the overall size of the particle, the carrier within which the particles will be applied to the skin, if any, and the location and number of magnets used to remove the particle. However, in general, the particles will comprise from about 1% to about
- the particles will comprise from about 10% to about 20% by weight of iron. This will result in the particle having a magnetic mass susceptibility of from about 50,000,000 to about 200,000,000 mVkg.
- the particle may be modified to either attach a ligand thereto or charged to obtain the desired polarity. As discussed previously, the choice between a ligand or ligands and a charge will depend upon the type of contaminant to be removed and will affect the composition of the particle. If a charge is used, the charge may either be a positive charge or a negative charge. If a ligand is used, it may be selected from a wide variety of useful ligands.
- a positively charged particle is capable of being used to remove yeast and bacteria (negatively charged) and any negatively charged molecule.
- particles useful as positively charged particles include, but are not limited to, diethylaminoethyl, ciethyl[2-hydroxypropyl]aminoethyl, polyethyleneimine, triethylaminohydroxypropyl, quaternary ammonium, quaternary alkylamine, quaternary alkylanolamine, trimethylbenzylammonium, dimethylethanolbenzylammonium, polyamine, alkylamine, dimethylethanolamine , octadecyldimethyltrimethoxylsilpropylammonium chloride, and kymene.
- a negatively charged molecule may be used to remove protein and other biological contaminates, not including yeast or bacteria.
- particles useful as positively charged particles include, but are not limited to, carboxymethyl cellulose, sulfopropyl cellulose, cellulose phosphate, DOWEX®, DUOLITE®, AMBERLITE®, bentonite, and chitin.
- ligands may be used in the present invention. These ligands include plant lectins and antibodies among others. Furthermore, extracts of plants and natural products may also be used.
- Plant lectins useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, lentil lectin, wheat germ lectin, dolichos biflorus, galanthus nivalis, glycine max, heli pomatia, lens culinaris, phaseolus vulgaris, phytolacca americana, ulex europaeus, and vicia villosa. These lectins are useful at removing microbial materials, and especially any cells with mannopyranosyl or glucopyranosyl residues on the membrane surface. They may also help in the removal of proteins or skin debris with similar characteristics.
- microbes which may be removed include those having glucose, mannose, or n- acetyl-glucosaminyl residues in the microbes cell wall and other skin debris material.
- Other ligands which may be used include dolichos biflorus, galanthus nivalis, glycine max, heli pomatia, lens culinaris, phaseolus vulgaris, phytolacca americana, ulex europaeus, and vicia villosa.
- Antibodies useful in the present invention include those having specific antibodies for any microbe associated cell wall or membrane component.
- Other ligands useful in the present invention include those that use cell surface receptors specific for microbes. These include, but are not limited to, Staphylococcus, Steptococcus, Candida, and Propionibacterium. All of these are specific for cell surface receptors which bind glycosides. Those glycosides could be attached to the magnetic particle.
- a ligand is used as the means for removing the contaminant, then the ligand must be attached to the particle such that when the particle is applied to the skin, the ligand is able to bind with the contaminant or contaminants of choice and remove these contaminants when the particle is removed from the skin.
- the preferred methods for the present invention include direct adsorption and covalent attachment.
- Direct adsorption involves adsorbing the ligand onto the surface of the particle.
- Simply adsorbing protein, especially polyclonal IgG, on the surface of polystyrene microspheres is successful more than 95% of the time.
- buffer pH should be at, or slightly more basic than, IgG's isoelectric point (that is, pH 8), where the protein is . in its most relaxed, compact form.
- Tris buffer (pH 8.0) and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) work well.
- the Fc and Fab portions of IgG adsorb differently in response to pH changes. A slightly alkaline pH optimizes adsorption of the Fc portion and ensures relative suppression of Fab adsorption.
- IgG and serum albumin can be mixed and then adsorbed simultaneously.
- One commercial protocol calls for a weight ratio of 1 IgG to 10 albumin in the coadsorption mixture.
- Adsorption can be followed by glutaraldehyde cross- linking of the mixed proteins on the microsphere surface.
- the ligand is covalently bonded to the particle.
- proteins such as BSA
- dextran such as dextran
- polylysine polymers that adsorb well.
- Another alternative is to adsorb the polymer on the particles and then couple the hapten or other label. These polyhaptens are used commercially. Another embodiment is to adsorb peptide onto the microspheres and then covalently link more peptide onto the surface. Also, any polyclonal antibody (PoAb) may also be used, such as those from mouse, goat, rabbit, pig, or bovine. These polyclonal antibodies adsorb well and attach to microspheres to form generic microspheres. These then capture any of several poorly adsorbing monoclonal antibodies (MoAb). In theory, a manufacturer can make a series of tests
- Covalent coupling binds protein more securely, an asset in production of tests or assays that are so sensitive that they would be influenced by minute quantities of IgG that might leach off the particles over time.
- the covalent bond is more thermally stable.
- silanol groups on the surface of silica microspheres are readily reacted with aqueous or solvent- based silane coupling agents to yield preactivated silica microspheres with a large variety of surface functional groups. Examples include chloromethyl, carboxyl, and amino groups.
- DNA and RNA are isolated from serum by adsorption onto silica in the presence of chaotropic agents. Oligonucleotides can be covalently bound to surface-modified silica via the 5 -amino end. Lipids can be bound via the carboxyl group on the fatty acid chain and propylamine surface groups on the silica.
- the particles After the particles have been charged or attached with a ligand, they are then ready to be applied to the skin to remove contaminants therefrom. While the particles may be applied directly to the skin, it is preferred that they be included with a carrier designed to aid the application of the particles to the skin while reducing the number of particles needed to effectively remove the desired contaminants.
- the carrier may be any means that permit the effective distribution of the particles over the desired area of the skin. These carriers include, but are not limited to, lotions, creams, sprays, or solutions. Other natural carriers may be used, such as alginate or chitosan. Additionally, the particles may be applied using a non-magnetic, cellulosic or polymeric wipe which is wiped across the surface of the skin.
- the amount of particles added to the carrier will depend on several factors including the carrier used, the contaminants to be removed and the amount of contaimnants, among others. In general, from about 0.001 to about 10 mg of particles will be included per milliliter of carrier. More preferably, the amount of particles will be from about 0.1 to about 1.0 mg/ml.
- the present invention preferably uses magnetic particles.
- Magnetic particles are used such that they may be easily removed through the use of magnets.
- the magnets may be applied directly to the surface, but more preferably, the magnets are associated with a product, such as a personal care item.
- the manner in which the particles are applied to the surface and the type of product used to remove the particles will vary, depending on the contaminant to be removed and the surface area to be treated.
- the magnets used in the present invention are selected so as to be incorporated into the personal care product such that they are still capable of removing the magnetic particles.
- the magnets may be incorporated into both woven and non-woven materials, depending on the product. Additionally, the woven and non-woven materials may be composed of natural or synthetic fibers, or a mixture of both.
- the magnets may be incorporated into facial tissues, which comprise plant fiber.
- the magnets may be incorporated into a non- woven fabric, such as a diaper or a wipe.
- the magnets will come into close contact with the skin.
- the number, size and/or strength of the magnets will be different when compared to magnets placed inside a diaper, which do not directly contact the skin, yet must still be able to remove magnetic particles which may have been incorporated into lotion or powder applied before the diaper was put on.
- the present invention also includes methods of removing contaminants using the system of the present invention. While it is expected that the system is capable of removing contaminants, such as debris or microbes, from a skin surface, it is also contemplated that the mechanisms described below may also permit the system to be used to remove contaminants from a wide variety of surfaces including, but not limited to, skin, floors, windows, pets, automobiles, watercraft, and counter tops.
- means for removing the contaminant are associated with a particle. As previously discussed, these means may involve the attachment of a ligand or generating a charge on the particle. After the means for removing the contaminant are associated with the particle, the particle is then applied to the surface. The particles may either be applied directly, such as using a wipe, or may be included in a carrier which is applied to the surface. After the particles have been applied, the contaminants to be removed bind to the means for removing the contaminant. Then, the particles are removed from the surface using means for accomplishing the same. When the particle is removed from the surface the contaminant is also removed.
- the magnetic particles may be placed in a carrier, such as a cream, lotion, spray or solution, and applied to an open wound. These particles could be associated with a ligand capable of removing bacteria from the wound. Then, the magnetic particles could be located in the gauze or bandage which is wrapped around the wound. Once the bandage contacted the wound, the magnets would pull the magnetic particles and contaminants from the wound. In a similar manner, the particles may be associated with a charge or another ligand and used to treat a variety of different rashes or infections.
- a carrier such as a cream, lotion, spray or solution
- the magnetic particles may be associated with a ligand or charge that is capable of binding to microbes existing in bodily wastes. Then, the particles may be applied to, for example, a baby using a baby wipe, powder or lotion. The particles would bind with the microbes. Then, a diaper having magnets contained therein may be placed on the baby, wherein the magnets would remove the magnetic particles and contaminants from the skin of the baby, helping to prevent rashes. Similar embodiments may be used with feminine articles or adult incontinence devices. In still another embodiment, the particles may be used to help clear pores and prevent breakouts of the skin. The particles would be associated with a ligand or charge that is capable of binding to debris or microbes existing on the skin surface.
- the particles may be included in a carrier such as a cream or lotion. Then, the particles are applied to the skin surface whereupon the bind with the debris or microbes. Then, an adhesive strip having magnets contained therein may be applied to the skin. When the strip is removed, the magnetic particles and contaminants would also be removed, helping to clear the pores. Alternatively, a facial wipe may be used in lieu of the adhesive strip.
- the particles may be used to relieve the symptoms associated with sinus problems. Irritation of the skin around the nose may be associated with microbes in the mucous. To remove these microbes, particles having the necessary ligand or charge may be applied to the nose using a carrier such as cream, lotion, or facial tissue. Then, the particles and the microbes bound thereto may be removed using another facial tissue having magnets contained therein.
- a carrier such as cream, lotion, or facial tissue.
- the particles and the microbes bound thereto may be removed using another facial tissue having magnets contained therein.
- the particles of the present invention may be used in many different embodiments depending upon the contaminant to be removed, the surface being treated, the carrier used, and the means for removing the particles and contaminants. It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing embodiments relate only to some of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and that numerous modifications or alterations may be made therein without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

- Figure 1 outlines the magnetic removal protocol used for these Examples. The Examples were performed as follows:
- TLB Typtic Soy Broth
- Table 1 outlines the effectiveness of the present invention at magnetically removing C. albicans attached to skin. Table 1
- Figures 2 and 3 show the effectiveness of the present invention at removing E. coli and C. albicans respectively.
- the use of the magnetic particle greatly enhances the removal of contaminants from a surface such as skin.
- the present invention offers a highly effective means for removing contaminants from a surface by utilizing a magnetic particle having means attached thereto to selectively remove the surface contaminant. Additionally, the present invention provides for methods of removing surface contaminants using these magnetic particles and means for removing the magnetic particles from the surface.
