Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements will be denoted by the same reference symbols, without redundant description.
(First embodiment)

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a finger treatment material according to the present invention. 2 and 3 are end views taken along lines II-II and III-III of FIG. 1, respectively. The finger treatment material 1 is a compress (finger treatment material) fixed to a finger having an affected part, and includes a support body 10 (base), a plaster body 20, and a protective sheet 30. The finger may be a finger of a hand or a toe.

  The support 10 is formed in advance in a shape that can accommodate a finger. Specifically, the support body 10 has a tubular shape with the distal end 10a closed. At the time of wearing the finger treatment material 1, a finger is inserted into the support 10. The tip 10a covers the tip of the finger when the finger is inserted into the support 10. The tip portion 10a has a dome shape. The rear end 10b of the support 10 is open. The rear end portion 10b is an annular portion serving as a finger insertion opening.

  The length of the support 10 (the vertical dimension in FIGS. 1 and 2) may be substantially equal to the length of the finger on which the finger treatment material 1 is mounted, or may be smaller than the length of the finger. . That is, the support 10 may have a length that allows the entire finger to be inserted, or may have a length that allows only a part of the finger to be inserted.

  The support 10 has elasticity in the circumferential direction. The circumferential expansion and contraction rate of the support 10 is preferably 150% or more, and more preferably 200% or more. Here, the expansion and contraction ratio of the support 10 in the circumferential direction is defined as a ratio of the maximum circumference L1 of the support 10 to the natural circumference L0, as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a view of the support 10 as viewed from the front end 10a. The natural circumference L0 is equal to the circumference when the support 10 is not receiving a force. The maximum circumferential length L1 is equal to the circumferential length when the support 10 is expanded to the elastic limit in the radial direction. The support 10 may have elasticity also in the length direction.

  The support 10 is made of a soft material. As a material of the support 10, for example, an elastomer, a plastic, a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used. The elastomer is preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, and particularly preferably a styrene-based elastomer. The nonwoven fabric may be made of either natural fibers or chemical fibers, or may be made of both natural fibers and chemical fibers. As the nonwoven fabric, a cellulose nanofiber nonwoven fabric may be used. Further, the support 10 preferably has waterproofness and / or air permeability. When the support 10 is provided with waterproofness, a waterproof material may be used, or a non-waterproof material subjected to waterproof processing may be used. When the support 10 is provided with air permeability, a gas permeable material may be used, or a material having a large number of air holes formed in a non-gas permeable material may be used. As a material of the support 10, a waterproof and moisture-permeable material may be used.

  Returning to FIGS. 1 to 3, the plaster 20 is provided on the inner surface of the support 10. In the present embodiment, the plaster 20 is provided on the entire inner surface of the support 10. The plaster 20 is a portion that acts on the affected part (action part). The plaster 20 directly covers the affected area and promotes healing of the affected area. The plaster 20 contains a medicine (a medicine for compresses). The plaster 20 has adhesiveness to a finger (skin). That is, in the finger treatment material 1, the plaster 20, which is an action part, also serves as an adhesive part having adhesiveness to the finger. As the material of the plaster 20, the same material as the plaster in a known compress can be used.

  The protection sheet 30 is releasably attached to the support 10 so as to cover the plaster 20. That is, the protective sheet 30 is releasably attached to the inner surface of the support 10 via the plaster 20. Here, “peelable” means that the protective sheet 30 can be easily peeled from the support 10 without damaging either the support 10 or the plaster 20. As the protective sheet 30, for example, a plastic film can be used. The protection sheet 30 may be composed of a plurality of sheet pieces provided separately from each other so as to be easily peeled.

  An example of a method of attaching the finger treatment material 1 to a finger will be described with reference to FIG. First, prior to mounting, the protective sheet 30 on the plaster 20 is peeled off. Next, as shown in the figure, the support 10 is put on the finger 90 so that the finger 90 is inserted into the internal space of the support 10. As a result, the finger treatment material 1 is fixed to the finger 90, and the affected part is kept covered with the plaster 20.

  The effect of the finger treatment material 1 will be described. In the finger therapeutic material 1, the support 10 has a tubular shape with a closed end 10a. By inserting a finger into the support 10 having such a structure, the finger treatment material 1 can be attached to the finger. By fitting the support 10 on the finger in this manner, the finger treatment material 1 can be stably fixed to the finger. Therefore, the finger treatment material 1 that does not easily fall off the finger is realized.

  The support 10 has elasticity in the circumferential direction. In this case, by expanding the support body 10 in the radial direction, it becomes easy to peel off the protective sheet 30 and to mount the finger treatment material 1. Further, the contracting force of the support 10 makes it easier to bring the finger treatment material 1 into close contact with the finger after wearing. This makes it more difficult for the finger treatment material 1 to fall off the finger. From the viewpoint of sufficiently bringing out these effects, the circumferential expansion and contraction rate of the support 10 is preferably 150% or more, and more preferably 200% or more.

  When the support 10 has waterproofness, it is difficult for moisture to enter between the finger treatment material 1 and the finger. Therefore, bathing and water work can be easily performed even when the finger treatment material 1 is worn on the finger. In addition, when the support 10 has air permeability, the finger on which the therapeutic material for finger 1 is attached can be made less likely to be stuffy.

  When the support 10 is made of an elastomer, the support 10 having excellent elasticity and waterproofness can be easily realized. In particular, when the support 10 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer, the support 10 can be easily molded. Styrene-based elastomers can be suitably used as such thermoplastic elastomers.

  The plaster 20 contains a drug. Thereby, the therapeutic effect on the affected part can be enhanced.

  The plaster 20 is provided on the entire inner surface of the support 10. In this case, when attaching the finger treatment material 1 to a finger, the trouble of adjusting the plaster 20 to the position of the affected part can be saved. That is, since the plaster 20 is present on the entire inner surface of the support 10, it is possible to realize a state in which the affected part is covered with the plaster 20 as long as the part including the affected part of the finger is inserted into the support 10. it can. However, the plaster 20 may be provided only on a part of the inner surface of the support 10.

  On the inner surface of the support 10, an adhesive portion (plaster 20) is provided. In this case, since the support 10 can be attached to the finger by the adhesive force of the adhesive portion, the fixation of the finger treatment material 1 to the finger can be strengthened.

  The adhesive portion is provided on the entire inner surface of the support 10. Thereby, since the whole of the support 10 can be stuck to the finger, the fixation of the finger treatment material 1 to the finger can be particularly strengthened. However, the adhesive portion may be provided only on a part of the inner surface of the support 10.

  The plaster 20, which is an action part, also serves as the adhesive part. Thereby, since it is not necessary to provide the action portion and the adhesive portion in separate regions on the inner surface of the support 10, both the action portion and the adhesive portion can be provided in a wide range.

A protection sheet 30 is provided so as to cover the plaster 20. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the plaster body 20 from being soiled before the finger treatment material 1 is attached, and the treatment effect and the adhesive strength from being reduced.
(Second Embodiment)

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the finger treatment material according to the present invention. FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 are end views taken along lines VII-VII, VIII-VIII and IX-IX of FIG. 6, respectively. The finger treatment material 2 is a bandage (finger treatment material) fixed to a finger having an affected part, and includes a base material (base), a pad 50, an adhesive layer 60, and a protective sheet 70.

  The base material 40 is formed in advance in a shape that can accommodate a finger. Specifically, the base material 40 has a tubular shape in which the distal end portion 40a is closed. At the time of mounting the finger treatment material 2, a finger is inserted into the base material 40. The tip portion 40a covers the tip of the finger when the finger is inserted into the base material 40. The tip portion 40a has a dome shape. The rear end 40b of the base material 40 is open. The rear end portion 40b is an annular portion serving as a finger insertion opening.

  The length of the base material 40 (the vertical dimension in FIGS. 6 and 7) may be substantially equal to the length of the finger on which the finger treatment material 2 is mounted, or may be smaller than the length of the finger. . That is, the base material 40 may have a length that allows insertion of the entire finger, or may have a length that allows insertion of only a part of the finger.

  The base material 40 has elasticity in the circumferential direction. The expansion and contraction rate in the circumferential direction of the base material 40 is preferably 150% or more, and more preferably 200% or more. The definition of the circumferential expansion and contraction rate of the base material 40 is the same as the definition of the circumferential expansion and contraction rate of the support 10. The base material 40 may have elasticity also in the length direction.

  The base material 40 is made of a soft material. As a material of the base material 40, for example, an elastomer, a plastic, a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used. The elastomer is preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, and particularly preferably a styrene-based elastomer. The nonwoven fabric may be made of either natural fibers or chemical fibers, or may be made of both natural fibers and chemical fibers. As the nonwoven fabric, a cellulose nanofiber nonwoven fabric may be used. Further, the base material 40 preferably has waterproofness and / or air permeability. In the case where the base material 40 is made waterproof, a waterproof material may be used, or a non-waterproof material subjected to waterproof processing may be used. When the base material 40 is provided with air permeability, a gas permeable material may be used, or a material having a large number of air holes formed in a non-gas permeable material may be used. As a material of the base material 40, a waterproof and moisture-permeable material may be used.

  The pad 50 is provided on the inner surface of the substrate 40. In the present embodiment, the pad 50 is provided only on a part of the inner surface of the base material 40 (the part including the distal end portion 40a). The pad 50 is a part that acts on the affected part (action part). The pad 50 directly covers the affected area and promotes healing of the affected area. The pad 50 may or may not contain a drug. As a material of the pad 50, a material similar to a pad in a known bandage can be used.

  The adhesive layer 60 is provided on the inner surface of the substrate 40. In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 60 is provided only on a part of the inner surface of the base material 40 (the part where the pad 50 is not provided). The adhesive layer 60 is a portion (adhesive portion) having adhesiveness to a finger. As the material of the adhesive layer 60, the same material as the adhesive layer in a known bandage can be used.

  The pad 50 and the adhesive layer 60 having such a configuration can be formed, for example, as follows. First, an adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 60 is applied to the entire inner surface of the base material 40. Next, the pad 50 is attached to a predetermined portion on the inner surface of the base material 40 via an adhesive. By doing so, the part of the adhesive that is not covered with the pad 50 becomes the adhesive layer 60. The portion of the adhesive covered with the pad 50 is not exposed even after the protective sheet 70 described later is peeled off and therefore has no adhesiveness to a finger, and thus does not correspond to the adhesive layer 60. 7 and 8, the adhesive under the pad 50 is not shown.

  The protection sheet 70 is detachably attached to the base material 40 so as to cover the pad 50 and the adhesive layer 60. That is, the protective sheet 70 is releasably attached to the inner surface of the base material 40 via the pad 50 and the adhesive layer 60. Here, “peelable” means that the protection sheet 70 can be easily peeled from the base material 40 without damaging any of the base material 40, the pad 50, and the adhesive layer 60. As the protective sheet 70, for example, release paper can be used. The protection sheet 70 may be composed of a plurality of sheet pieces provided separately from each other so as to be easily peeled.

  The effect of the finger treatment material 2 will be described. In the finger treatment material 2, the base material 40 has a tubular shape in which a distal end portion 40 a is closed. By inserting a finger into the base material 40 having such a structure, the finger treatment material 2 can be attached to the finger. By fitting the base material 40 to the finger in this way, the finger treatment material 2 can be stably fixed to the finger. Therefore, the finger treatment material 2 that does not easily fall off the finger is realized.

  The base material 40 has elasticity in the circumferential direction. In this case, by expanding the base material 40 in the radial direction, the protection sheet 70 can be easily separated and the finger treatment material 2 can be easily mounted. In addition, the contracting force of the base material 40 makes it easier to bring the finger treatment material 2 into close contact with the finger after wearing. This makes it more difficult for the finger treatment material 2 to fall off the finger. From the viewpoint of sufficiently bringing out these effects, the circumferential expansion and contraction rate of the base material 40 is preferably 150% or more, and more preferably 200% or more.

  When the base material 40 is waterproof, it is difficult for moisture to enter between the finger treatment material 2 and the finger. Therefore, bathing and water work can be easily performed even when the finger treatment material 2 is worn on the finger. Moreover, when the base material 40 has air permeability, the finger on which the therapeutic material for finger 2 is attached can be made less likely to be stuffy.

  When the base material 40 is made of an elastomer, the base material 40 having excellent stretchability and waterproofness can be easily realized. In particular, when the substrate 40 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer, the molding of the substrate 40 is facilitated. Styrene-based elastomers can be suitably used as such thermoplastic elastomers.

  When the pad 50 contains a drug, the therapeutic effect on the affected part can be enhanced.

  The pad 50 is provided only on a part of the inner surface of the substrate 40. Limiting the region where the pad 50 is provided in this way contributes to a reduction in the material procurement cost of the pad 50 and, in turn, the manufacturing cost of the finger treatment material 2. Further, a layer having another function (the adhesive layer 60 in the present embodiment) can be provided on the remaining portion of the inner surface of the base material 40 (the portion where the pad 50 is not provided). However, the pad 50 may be provided on the entire inner surface of the substrate 40.

  An adhesive layer 60 is provided on the inner surface of the substrate 40. In this case, since the base material 40 can be stuck to the finger by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 60, the fixation of the finger treatment material 2 to the finger can be strengthened.

  The adhesive layer 60 is provided only on a part of the inner surface of the support 10. Thereby, the adhesive layer 60 can be provided in a region different from the pad 50, so that the adhesive layer 60 can be prevented from sticking to a wound (affected part). However, the adhesive layer 60 may be provided on the entire inner surface of the substrate 40.

  The protection sheet 70 is provided so as to cover the pad 50 and the adhesive layer 60. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the pad 50 or the adhesive layer 60 from being stained before the finger treatment material 2 is attached, and to reduce the therapeutic effect of the pad 50 and the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 60.

  In the present embodiment, instead of providing the adhesive layer 60, the pad 50 may have adhesiveness. That is, the pad 50, which is the acting portion, may also serve as the adhesive portion. In this case, for example, a polyurethane film can be used as the base material 40 and a hydrocolloid material can be used as the pad 50. The hydrocolloid material is composed of an adhesive (hydrophobic polymer) and hydrocolloid particles (hydrophilic polymer).

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. In the above embodiment, the finger treatment material 1 may include a plurality of supports 10 having different lengths. In that case, the plaster 20 and the protective sheet 30 are provided on the inner surface of each support 10. By providing a plurality of supports 10 having different lengths in this way, it is possible to select an optimal support 10 according to the length of the finger on which the affected part exists. For example, when the affected part is located on the middle finger of the hand, the support 10 having the largest length can be selected, and when the affected part is located on the thumb of the hand, the support 10 having the smallest length can be selected.

  As a specific example, when the affected part is present on the middle finger of the hand, the support body 10 has a length capable of inserting the entire middle finger, the support body 10 having a length capable of inserting up to the second joint of the middle finger, and the second finger of the middle finger. It is conceivable to provide three of the supports 10 having a length that can be inserted up to one joint. In that case, it is possible to select an optimal support 10 according to the position of the diseased part and the width. For example, when the affected part is located near the root of the middle finger, the longest support 10 can be selected, and when the affected part is located near the tip of the middle finger, the shortest support 10 can be selected. Similarly, the finger treatment material 2 may include a plurality of base materials 40 having different lengths. In that case, the pad 50, the adhesive layer 60, and the protective sheet 70 are provided on the inner surface of each base material 40.

  In the above embodiment, the finger treatment material 1 may include a plurality of supports 10 having different diameters. In that case, the plaster 20 and the protective sheet 30 are provided on the inner surface of each support 10. By providing a plurality of supports 10 having different diameters in this way, it is possible to select an optimal support 10 according to the thickness of the finger where the affected part exists. For example, when the affected part is located on the thumb, the support 10 having the largest diameter can be selected, and when the affected part is located on the little finger, the support 10 having the smallest diameter can be selected. The plurality of supports 10 may be different in both length and diameter. Similarly, the finger treatment material 2 may include a plurality of base materials 40 having different diameters. In that case, the pad 50, the adhesive layer 60, and the protective sheet 70 are provided on the inner surface of each base material 40.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the adhesive portion is provided is illustrated. However, it is not essential to provide the adhesive part in the finger treatment material 1. When the adhesive portion is not provided (when the adhesive body 20 is not provided with adhesiveness), the protective sheet 30 itself can be provided with adhesiveness so that the protective sheet 30 can be releasably attached to the support 10. Similarly, it is not essential to provide an adhesive portion in the finger treatment material 2.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the protection sheet is provided is illustrated. However, it is not essential to provide the protection sheet 30 in the finger treatment material 1, and it is not essential to provide the protection sheet 70 in the finger treatment material 2.
