Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Technical Field The present invention related to means associated with cleaning implement wound forming a holder shape comprising a liquid for treating wounds and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For example, when applying a liquid to the wound for cleaning the wound, there is a problem that preparation and handling of suitable existing means to treat wounds in itself is difficult . A number of operations are required to achieve this, and the problem is that the required products are readily available.

[0003] With respect to outdoor life and sports, it is necessary to quickly and easily obtain necessary articles for cleaning wounds. Also, for example, when a right-handed person is injured with his right hand, it is difficult to open the cleaning solution package with his left hand and take out the cotton to clean the wound. In addition, it is difficult to spread the tissue, for example for cleaning wounds.

[0004] It has also been found that there is a problem that the package of the opened wound cleaning solution does not have a long time. It is clear that bacteria develop in the fluid over time and that this fluid is more harmful than effective if it is intended to be used for cleaning wounds.

[0005] Attempts have been made to solve the problem by the method of GB, A, 506789 known in the prior art. Several suitable small holders, each containing a lavage fluid and a wound cream, are arranged to be screwed together to form a pen-like device for storage and have a socket containing a bandage. There, the required holder is opened to obtain the contents therein. This method allows the transport of various materials to treat the wound, but opening its holder requires at least two uninjured hands. Furthermore, this method does not include means for piercing the wound or applying a cleaning solution to the wound.

[0006] The main SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to solve the problem by simple and sufficient functional means,
Another object is to provide a means that is compact and suitable for use with only one hand.

[0007] The object can be achieved by the present invention, that is, in the present invention, a liquid holder and a further space including a liquid absorbing material such as cotton are separated from each other by a valve portion. The valve portion may be actuated under the influence of the pressure of the liquid absorbing material forming the tip of the wound cleaning device to open a passage between the liquid holder and the space for the liquid absorbing material. It is characterized by being possible.

[0008] The solution of the invention a simple handling and functions of cleaning implement form a wound for implementing problems, tubular holder with several cartridges for cleaning the wound, depending on the consumption So-called cleaning tips made of cotton or other effective absorbent material supplied with
) Is included. Unused cartridges are sealed under sterile conditions by some sort of hermetic seal (eg, a protective cover made of a hard plastic material). Since the cotton tip (tip) is clinically clean until use, this also eliminates the problem of liquid durability for wound cleansing. After use, supply the next cartridge and dispose of the used cartridge.

[0009] During cleaning, the liquid is supplied, for example, by pushing the cotton tip inward against the skin near the actual wound. When the tip portion is strongly pressed and the spring-loaded valve portion is opened, the tip portion is immersed in the liquid. The liquid disperses in the cotton chip by capillary attraction. However, it should not be pressed directly onto the wound as it can cause inflammation. Then simply slide the tip soaked in liquid over the wound for cleaning.

If it is desired to absorb blood or excess liquid, the next cartridge is delivered to remove the protective cover and avoid supplying liquid. This can be achieved by avoiding pushing the tip portion inward with such a force that the spring-loaded valve portion is opened. Here, the tip is completely dry and can be used to absorb blood and excess liquid.

The cotton tip is a fragile wedge forming an inclined upper part. The reason for such formation is to facilitate mechanical removal of, for example, filth particles, gravel, etc. and cleaning of the wound. The tip basically functions as a spatula.

The cartridge is supplied by pressing a feeder on the top (upper part) of a tubular holder (so-called main pipe). At the same time, the main tube is easily handled by grasping, which can be compared to a pen holder. At the lower edge of the main pipe, barbs are arranged along the inside of the pipe. For example, a piercing portion made of a somewhat thinner and therefore softer material is bent towards the lower edge of the main tube to prevent the cartridge from returning into the main tube. The piercing portion secures the cartridge in the main tube in a transferred position for use. The piercing portion acts to prevent the cartridge from returning to the main pipe when the tip portion of the cartridge is pushed to supply the liquid.

[0013] The diameter of the feeder section is smaller than the main tube, so that the cartridge can be nested downwardly into the main tube for the transfer of a new cartridge. The feeder portion is spring loaded and returns to the starting position after the transfer of the cartridge. In addition, a piercing portion that works for transfer is provided on the lower edge portion.

Since the protective cover of the cartridge is made of a non-deformable material, the movement of the unused cartridge does not affect the spring-loaded valve. The last (uppermost) cartridge in the main tube is pushed forward with its protective cover against the rear edge of the cartridge, and simultaneously all the cartridges are pushed forward in a chain at the same time.

[0015] The protective cover protects the cotton tip from dirt, dust, and bacteria at the supply position.

The present invention is suitable for humans as well as animals.

The individual cartridges are arranged so that they can be used individually without trouble.

The details of the present invention will be described below. The present invention includes an apparatus 1 related to a wound cleaning device 2 in the form of a holder 3, which holder 3 is used for treating a wound or the like.
