Description
本発明は、術後の縫合跡や床づれなどの皮膚患部に貼設することで感染予防や感染菌による化膿を防止して治癒を促進する医療用発光装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a medical light-emitting device that promotes healing by preventing infection and suppuration caused by infecting bacteria by being attached to an affected skin area such as postoperative suture marks and flooring.
従来、術後の縫合跡や床づれなどの皮膚患部では感染菌が繁殖しやすく、このことが化膿の原因となっていた。その一方で、感染菌の繁殖を防止する目的で皮膚患部を乾燥させた場合には、感染菌の繁殖をある程度抑制することができるものの、皮膚組織の再生力が低下して皮膚患部の治癒が遅延するという課題があった。
このような課題に対処する目的で、感染菌の殺菌又は繁殖の抑制に効果を有する光線を皮膚患部に連続的に又は断続的に照射して治療する装置に関する発明がいくつか開示されている。
Conventionally, infectious bacteria easily propagate in affected skin areas such as postoperative suture marks and flooring, and this has been the cause of suppuration. On the other hand, when the affected skin area is dried for the purpose of preventing the propagation of infecting bacteria, the propagation of the infecting bacteria can be suppressed to some extent, but the regenerative power of the skin tissue is reduced and the affected skin area is healed. There was a problem of delay.
For the purpose of coping with such problems, several inventions relating to an apparatus for treating a diseased part of a skin by irradiating a light beam having an effect on sterilization or suppression of propagation of infecting bacteria continuously or intermittently have been disclosed.
たとえば、特許文献1には「殺菌貼付シート」という名称で、皮膚患部の細菌の繁殖を抑制したり、殺菌する機能を発揮する医療用シートに関する発明が開示されている。
特許文献1に係る「殺菌貼付シート」は、人体に貼付した場合でも無害なシート材に光触媒半導体を担持させて被覆部を形成したことを特徴とするものである。
このシート材は単独で使用することもできるが、被覆部としてカバーシートを設けてもよい。さらに、上記シート材に紫外線放射体を担持させ、かつ、金属箔等による紫外線反射層を設けてもよい。
このような、特許文献1に係る「殺菌貼付シート」によれば、自発型紫外線放射体又は蓄光型紫外線放射体を又はこれらの両方を担持させて被覆部を形成することで、電力を用いることなく皮膚患部に紫外線を照射することができるという効果を有する。
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an invention relating to a medical sheet having a name “sterilization patch sheet”, which suppresses the growth of bacteria in an affected skin area or exhibits a function of sterilization.
The “sterilization patch sheet” according to Patent Document 1 is characterized in that a coating portion is formed by carrying a photocatalytic semiconductor on a harmless sheet material even when pasted on a human body.
This sheet material can be used alone, but a cover sheet may be provided as a covering portion. Further, an ultraviolet radiator may be carried on the sheet material, and an ultraviolet reflection layer made of metal foil or the like may be provided.
According to such a “sterilization patch sheet” according to Patent Document 1, electric power is used by forming a covering portion by supporting a spontaneous ultraviolet radiator or a phosphorescent ultraviolet radiator or both of them. The effect is that the affected skin area can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays.
特許文献2には「光線療法用の可撓性照射装置」という名称で、患者の皮膚の付近で、または、患者の皮膚に接触させて使用するための光線療法装置に関する発明が開示されている。
特許文献2に係る発明は、可撓性基板上に少なくとも1個の発光ダイオードを配設し、皮膚に接触させることができるよう被覆材を設けたものであり、特にビルビン過剰血症に対して治療効果を期待できる。
Patent Document 2 discloses an invention relating to a phototherapy device for use in the vicinity of a patient's skin or in contact with the patient's skin under the name of “flexible irradiation device for phototherapy”. .
In the invention according to Patent Document 2, at least one light emitting diode is disposed on a flexible substrate, and a covering material is provided so as to be in contact with the skin. A therapeutic effect can be expected.
特許文献3には「光線治療装置」という名称で、光治療装置に関する発明が開示されている。
特許文献3に係る発明は、青色から緑色に至る発光波長400nm〜550nmまでの領域内の光を発光の中心波長(ピーク波長)とする発光ダイオードを、複数個衣類に縫い付けて放射光源としたことを特徴とするものであり、特に黄疸の治療に効果が期待できる。
Patent Document 3 discloses an invention relating to a phototherapy device under the name “phototherapy device”.
In the invention according to Patent Document 3, a plurality of light emitting diodes having a central wavelength (peak wavelength) of light emission within a wavelength range from 400 nm to 550 nm ranging from blue to green are sewn on clothing as a radiation light source. In particular, it can be expected to be effective in treating jaundice.
しかしながら、上述の特許文献1に記載の発明では、使用環境により放射される紫外線量が変動するため、積極的な治療においては効果にばらつきが生じやすいという課題があった。
通常、手術直後の3〜7日間は患部を空気に接触させないことが望ましく、この期間内は特に、皮膚患部における感染菌の繁殖を防止することが望ましいとされている。
これに対して、特許文献1の発明に係る自発型紫外線放射体又は蓄光型紫外線放射体による紫外線の放射時間は短く、上述のような医療現場におけるニーズに対応できない可能性が高かった。
また、特許文献1に記載の発明においてシート材は、光透過性を有するよう構成されるものではないため、医師が術後の皮膚患部の様子を確認するために患部に覆設されたシート材を都度引き剥がす必要があった。
このため、その都度に皮膚患部に空気中の感染菌が付着するおそれがあり十分な殺菌及び感染菌の増殖防止効果が期待できなかった。さらに、シート材の剥離に伴う衝撃で治癒途中の軟弱な皮膚組織にダメージを与える可能性もあった。
However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1 described above, the amount of ultraviolet rays emitted varies depending on the use environment, and thus there is a problem that the effect tends to vary in aggressive treatment.
Usually, it is desirable that the affected area is not in contact with air for 3 to 7 days immediately after the operation, and it is particularly desirable to prevent the propagation of infectious bacteria in the affected skin area during this period.
On the other hand, the radiation time of ultraviolet rays by the spontaneous ultraviolet radiator or the phosphorescent ultraviolet radiator according to the invention of Patent Document 1 is short, and there is a high possibility that it cannot meet the needs in the medical field as described above.
Further, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, since the sheet material is not configured to have optical transparency, the sheet material covered by the affected part so that the doctor can confirm the state of the affected part after surgery. Had to be peeled off each time.
For this reason, infectious bacteria in the air may adhere to the affected skin area each time, and sufficient sterilization and growth prevention effects of the infecting bacteria could not be expected. Furthermore, there is a possibility of damaging soft skin tissue during healing due to an impact accompanying peeling of the sheet material.
上述の特許文献2に記載の発明によれば、光治療用の光線量を所望の量に設定することができるものの、特許文献1に記載の発明と同様に、被覆部材は光透過性を有するよう構成されるものではないため、医師が術後の皮膚患部の様子を確認する際に患部に覆設された被覆部材を都度引き剥がす必要があり、やはり、十分な殺菌及び感染菌の増殖防止効果が期待できなかった。
また、被覆部材の剥離に伴う衝撃で治癒途中の軟弱な皮膚組織にダメージを与える可能性もあった。
According to the above-described invention described in Patent Document 2, the light amount for phototherapy can be set to a desired amount. However, as in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the covering member has light transmittance. Therefore, when a doctor confirms the state of the affected skin after surgery, it is necessary to peel off the covering member covering the affected area each time. The effect could not be expected.
In addition, there is a possibility of damaging soft skin tissue during healing due to an impact accompanying peeling of the covering member.
上述の特許文献3に記載の「光線治療装置」は、光源である発光ダイオードをたとえ透光性の良い繊維に縫い付けたとしても、皮膚患部の様子をその上面から透かして観察することは困難であるため、やはり特許文献1に記載の発明と同様に、医師が術後の皮膚患部の様子を確認するために患部に覆設された被覆部材を都度引き剥がす必要があり、十分な殺菌及び感染菌の増殖防止効果が期待できなかった。
また、被覆部材の剥離に伴う衝撃で治癒途中の軟弱な皮膚組織にダメージを与える可能性もあった。
The “phototherapy device” described in Patent Document 3 described above is difficult to observe through the upper surface of the affected skin area even if a light emitting diode as a light source is sewn to a light-transmitting fiber. Therefore, similarly to the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary for the doctor to peel off the covering member covering the affected part every time in order to confirm the state of the affected part after the operation. The effect of preventing the growth of infectious bacteria could not be expected.
In addition, there is a possibility of damaging soft skin tissue during healing due to an impact accompanying peeling of the covering member.
本発明はかかる従来の事情に対処してなされたものであり、化膿の恐れがある皮膚患部を被覆して空気との接触を遮断すると同時に、皮膚患部に近紫外光を照射することで殺菌及び感染菌の増殖を防止し、かつ、被覆部材であるシート体を剥皮することなく皮膚患部の目視による観察を可能にする医療用発光装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in response to such a conventional situation, and covers the affected skin area that may cause suppuration to block contact with air, and at the same time sterilizes and irradiates the affected skin area with near-ultraviolet light.

1A is a conceptual diagram of a medical light-emitting device according to Example 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a partial cross-sectional view of the medical light-emitting device according to Example 1. FIG. FIG. 1C is a conceptual diagram of the medical light-emitting device according to Example 1 viewed from the bottom side.
The medical light-emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a on the side surface of a synthetic resin sheet 2 having a colorless, transparent, transparent, or substantially transparent quadrangular shape and a thickness. Is provided, and a power supply unit 5 for supplying power to the near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a is provided on the back side of the near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a.
Further, the diffuser 3 is accommodated in the sheet body 2 in a dispersed state, and the near-ultraviolet light 21 emitted from the near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 4a strikes the diffuser 3 and is scattered in the sheet body 2. It is comprised so that.
Such a medical light-emitting device 1a according to Example 1 is used by sticking the surface of the drug sustained-release jelly layer 8 shown in FIG. 1 (b) to a post-surgical suture part or a skin affected part such as a bed slip. Is.
In the specification of the present application, the postoperative sutured part and the skin diseased part are collectively referred to as a skin affected part.
本実施例に係る医療用発光装置1aを皮膚患部に貼設した場合、近紫外光発光部4aからシート体2の垂直断面方向へと照射される近紫外光21が、シート体2の内部において分散されて下面側2bから皮膚患部及びその近傍に照射されて、殺菌効果と、感染菌の増殖防止効果が発揮されるのである。
この結果、皮膚患部が化膿するのを防止してその治癒を促進するという効果を有する。特に、近紫外光21と薬剤を併用することで、薬剤耐性菌をも殺菌あるいは静菌が可能とならしめ、紫外線を用いる殺菌に比べ生体細胞への好ましくない影響を大幅に低減できるという効果も有する。
また、シート体2は、皮膚患部を外から遮断するので、皮膚患部が乾燥するのを防止するという効果も有する。この結果、皮膚患部の保湿性が高まり治癒が促進されるという効果を有する。
When the medical light-emitting device 1a according to the present embodiment is attached to the affected skin area, the near-ultraviolet light 21 irradiated from the near-ultraviolet light-emitting portion 4a in the vertical sectional direction of the sheet body 2 is generated inside the sheet body 2. It is dispersed and irradiated from the lower surface side 2b to the skin affected area and the vicinity thereof, and the bactericidal effect and the effect of preventing the growth of infecting bacteria are exhibited.
As a result, it has the effect of preventing the affected skin from purging and promoting its healing. In particular, the combined use of near-ultraviolet light 21 and a drug makes it possible to sterilize or bacterize drug-resistant bacteria, and has the effect of significantly reducing undesirable effects on living cells compared to sterilization using ultraviolet light. Have.
Further, since the sheet body 2 blocks the affected skin area from the outside, it also has an effect of preventing the affected skin area from drying. As a result, there is an effect that the moisturizing property of the affected skin area is increased and healing is promoted.
さらに、シート体2は光透過性を有するので、シート体2の上面側2a側から下面側2bの様子を透かして見ることができるという効果を有する。また近紫外光発光部4aはシート体2の側面に接設されているため、皮膚患部の観察時に近紫外光発光部4aが観察者の視線を遮ることがない。
なお、本願の実施例における光透過性とは、シート体2の透明又は略透明、特には、無色透明に構成されることによって、観察者の視線を遮ることがなく、皮膚患部の観察を容易かつ正確に実施できるための性能であり、特には、透視性とも言えるべきものである。すなわち、皮膚患部の状態を正確に把握できるように優れた視認性を発揮できるような性能を意味するものである。
1つの散光体3は微小であって、観察に支障ないようシート体全体として光透過性を保持しつつ分散させ、薬剤徐放ゼリー層は無色透明にすれば、医師又は看護師は、術後の経過あるいは皮膚患部の治癒状況を、そのつど皮膚患部に被覆された医療用発光装置1aを剥離することなく、自然光下で皮膚患部を観察できるので適切な診察には非常に有効であって、加えて医療用発光装置1aの着脱に伴う皮膚患部への感染菌の付着や、治癒途中の軟弱な皮膚組織の損傷を防止することができ、皮膚患部の治癒促進にも効果を有する。
Furthermore, since the sheet body 2 is light transmissive, the sheet body 2 can be seen through the state from the upper surface side 2a side to the lower surface side 2b. Further, since the near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 4a is in contact with the side surface of the sheet member 2, the near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 4a does not block the observer's line of sight when observing the affected skin area.
The light transmittance in the examples of the present application means that the sheet body 2 is configured to be transparent or substantially transparent, in particular, colorless and transparent, so that the observer's line of sight is not obstructed and the affected skin area can be easily observed. It is a performance that can be carried out accurately, and in particular, should be said to be transparent. That is, it means a performance that can exhibit excellent visibility so that the state of the affected skin area can be accurately grasped.
If one light diffuser 3 is very small and is dispersed while maintaining the light transmission property of the entire sheet so as not to obstruct observation, the drug sustained release jelly layer should be colorless and transparent. Since the skin affected area can be observed under natural light without peeling off the medical light emitting device 1a covered with the skin affected area each time or the healing situation of the skin affected area, In addition, it is possible to prevent infectious bacteria from adhering to the affected skin area due to the attachment and detachment of the medical light-emitting device 1a, and damage to the soft skin tissue during healing, which is effective in promoting the healing of the affected skin area.
また、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aのシート体2は、伸縮性を有するよう構成してもよい。この場合、皮膚患部近傍の皮膚の伸縮に応じてシート体2を伸縮させることができるので、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aの皮膚患部への密着性を高めることができるという効果を有する。 Moreover, you may comprise the sheet | seat body 2 of the medical light-emitting device 1a which concerns on Example 1 so that it may have a stretching property. In this case, since the sheet body 2 can be expanded and contracted in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the skin in the vicinity of the affected skin area, the adhesiveness of the medical light emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment to the affected skin area can be improved. .
なお、実施例1に係るシート体2を構成する材料としては、例えば、シリコン樹脂、軟質塩化ビニル樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂、ポリプロピレン樹脂等の透光性が高く可撓性を有する合成樹脂が適している。
但し、シート体2は、気体透過性、特に酸素透過性を備えることが皮膚患部の状況によっては望ましい場合もあると考えられる。酸素透過性を備えることが必要な場合には、例えばソフトコンタクトレンズに使用されるようなポリヒドロキシエチルメタクリレート(PHEMA)や、ポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)のようなゲル状の合成高分子化合物を用いて、水分を比較的多く含む含水性のシート体2として構成するとよい。また、シリコーンをハイドロゲル素材に合成したシリコーンハイドロゲル(SH)などを用いても高い酸素透過性を備えたシート体2を提供することができる。
このように酸素透過性の高いシート体2によれば、皮膚患部に十分な酸素を供給することができ、疾患状況により、治癒効果を向上させることが期待される。なお、このような場合でもシート体2は酸素を透過しても感染菌は透過しないよう構成されている。
また、上記シート体2の内部に分散した状態で収容される散光体3としては、例えば、微細な空気泡、ガラスビーズ、アルミニウム微粉のような、微細粒状でかつその表面は光反射性、屈折性を有するものが良い。
なお、本実施例においては、シート体2内部に散光体3が分散された状態で収容されているが、医療用発光装置の下面側2bに所望の光量が発光できれば、散光体3を収容しなくともよい。
例えば、シート体2の下面に、半導体発光素子からシート体2内部の前方への集光効果を持たせるためにプリズムシートを、設けたり、さらに、このプリズムシートとシート体2の間に拡散シートを設けたり、シート体2本体に薄い切り込みを入れたり、異なる樹脂材料層で成形するなど、光の屈折を変える層を設けることで、シート体2の下面側への光の拡散伝播を促進させてもよい。
なお、散光体3を用いない場合においても、近紫外光発光部4aから発せられる近紫外光21の減衰を一層効果的に防止するために、シート体2の上面側2aの略全面を被覆するように、光反射材や紫外線遮蔽材が設置されてもよいことはいうまでもない。
以上のように、シート体2内部に散光体3を分散させないような場合については、これから説明する実施例2乃至実施例4においても同様である。
In addition, as a material which comprises the sheet | seat body 2 which concerns on Example 1, synthetic resin with high translucency and flexibility, such as a silicon resin, a soft vinyl chloride resin, a polyethylene resin, a polypropylene resin, is suitable, for example. .
However, it is considered that it may be desirable for the sheet body 2 to have gas permeability, particularly oxygen permeability depending on the situation of the affected skin area. When it is necessary to provide oxygen permeability, for example, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) used for soft contact lenses and gel-like synthetic polymer compounds such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) are used. The water-containing sheet body 2 containing a relatively large amount of moisture is preferable. Moreover, even if it uses the silicone hydrogel (SH) which synthesize | combined silicone with the hydrogel raw material, the sheet | seat body 2 provided with the high oxygen permeability can be provided.
Thus, according to the sheet | seat body 2 with high oxygen permeability, sufficient oxygen can be supplied to a skin affected part and it is anticipated that the healing effect will be improved according to the disease condition. Even in such a case, the sheet body 2 is configured such that infectious bacteria do not permeate even if it permeates oxygen.
Further, as the diffuser 3 accommodated in a dispersed state in the sheet body 2, for example, fine air bubbles, glass beads, aluminum fine powder, and the surface thereof is light reflective, refracted The thing which has property is good.
In the present embodiment, the diffuser 3 is accommodated in the sheet body 2 in a dispersed state. However, if the desired amount of light can be emitted to the lower surface side 2b of the medical light emitting device, the diffuser 3 is accommodated. Not necessary.
For example, a prism sheet is provided on the lower surface of the sheet body 2 to provide a light condensing effect from the semiconductor light emitting element to the front inside the sheet body 2, and a diffusion sheet is provided between the prism sheet and the sheet body 2. , Diffusion cut of light to the lower surface side of the sheet body 2 is promoted by providing a layer that changes the refraction of light, such as forming a thin notch in the sheet body 2 or molding with a different resin material layer May be.
Even when the light diffusing body 3 is not used, in order to more effectively prevent the near-ultraviolet light 21 emitted from the near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 4a from being attenuated, the entire upper surface 2a of the sheet body 2 is covered. Thus, it goes without saying that a light reflecting material or an ultraviolet shielding material may be installed.
As described above, the case where the diffuser 3 is not dispersed inside the sheet body 2 is the same in the second to fourth embodiments to be described.
さらに、図1(b)に示すように、例えば、実施例1に係る近紫外光発光部4aを、基板9及びその表面に実装される半導体発光素子10により構成し、半導体発光素子は例えば405nmにピーク波長を有するものであってもよい。なお、近紫外光発光部4aにおいて基板9上にベアチップ11を直接実装しても良い。
この結果、医療用発光装置1a自体を小型軽量化することができるので、例えば、患者が腹部に実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aを装着した場合の腹部の圧迫感や違和感を軽減することができるという効果を有する。また、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aによれば、近紫外光発光部4aの光源に放電管を用いた場合に比べて、近紫外光発光部4aが破損し難いので、医療用発光装置1aの耐久性を向上させることができるという効果を有する。
もちろん、緩衝材等を取り付ける等により衝撃を緩和できるような構成することで、近紫外光発光部4aにおける近紫外光の光源として、従来公知の放電管等を用いることもできる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, for example, the near-ultraviolet light emitting section 4a according to the first embodiment is configured by the substrate 9 and the semiconductor light emitting element 10 mounted on the surface thereof, and the semiconductor light emitting element is, for example, 405 nm. May have a peak wavelength. The bare chip 11 may be directly mounted on the substrate 9 in the near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a.

Has the effect of being able to. Further, according to the medical light emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment, the near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a is less likely to be damaged than the case where a discharge tube is used as the light source of the near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a. The durability of the device 1a can be improved.
Of course, a conventionally known discharge tube or the like can be used as a near-ultraviolet light source in the near-ultraviolet light emitting section 4a by configuring the shock absorber so as to reduce the impact.
再び、図1(a)に戻るが、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aは、電力供給部5の内部に電力供給源として例えば、電池6を備えている。ここでは、単3型の電池を2本備える場合を一例として図示しているが、近紫外光発光部4aの発光に必要な電力を供給可能であれば、ボタン電池3個にするなど、電池の種類や個数は、医療用発光装置1aの使用背景に照らして決めればよく、特に限定するものではない。

なお、上述のような電力供給部5は、本実施例に係る医療用発光装置1aから着脱可能としてもよい。この場合、例えば、皮膚患部の治癒が十分に進行し、近紫外光21による感染菌の殺菌や増殖抑制の必要性が低下したものの、依然として皮膚患部の乾燥を防止することが望ましい場合に、医療用発光装置1aから電力供給部5を取外した状態で装着し続けることができるという効果を有する。
この結果、医療用発光装置1aの装着に伴う患者の負担、すなわち、装着部位における圧迫感や違和感を軽減することができるという効果を有する。
このような電力供給部5に係る構成については、本願明細書の他の実施例に係る電力供給部ならびに医療用発光装置にも採用可能である。
Returning to FIG. 1A again, the medical light-emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment includes, for example, a battery 6 as a power supply source inside the power supply unit 5. Here, the case where two AA batteries are provided is shown as an example, but if the power necessary for the light emission of the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a can be supplied, the battery may be replaced with three button batteries. The type and number of the light emitting devices may be determined in light of the usage background of the medical light emitting device 1a, and are not particularly limited.
For example, although not particularly illustrated, the power supply unit 5 according to the first embodiment may be a solar power generation device or a combination of a solar power generation device and a battery. In this case, in the former case, The medical light-emitting device 1a has an effect that power consumption can be reduced. In the latter case, the medical light-emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment can be operated even at night when sunshine is not expected.
Alternatively, the provision of the small battery capable of charging the power generated by the solar power generation device has the effect that the medical light-emitting device 1a can be reduced in size and weight and can save power simultaneously.
The power supply unit 5 as described above may be detachable from the medical light emitting device 1a according to the present embodiment. In this case, for example, when the healing of the affected skin area has progressed sufficiently and the necessity of sterilizing or suppressing the growth of infectious bacteria by the near-ultraviolet light 21 has decreased, it is still desirable to prevent the affected skin area from drying. It has the effect that it can continue to mount | wear with the electric power supply part 5 removed from the light-emitting device 1a.
As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the burden on the patient accompanying the mounting of the medical light-emitting device 1a, that is, the feeling of pressure and discomfort at the mounting site.
About the structure which concerns on such a power supply part 5, it is employable also in the power supply part and medical light-emitting device which concern on the other Example of this-application specification.
さらに、図1(a),(b)に示すように、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aにおいては、近紫外光発光部4aが接設されるシート体2の側面と略垂直に交わる上面側2aの端部に光反射材20を設けても良い。
このように、シート体2の近紫外光発光部4aの近傍に光反射材20を備えることで、近紫外光発光部4a近傍の近紫外光21が、外部に放射されずにシート体2の内部に導光されるという効果を有する。
この結果、近紫外光発光部4aから発せられる近紫外光21が、シート体2の外部に放射されることによる減衰を防止することができるという効果を有する。
よって、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aの殺菌効果及び感染菌の増殖防止効果を促進することができる。
また、近紫外光発光部4aから発せられる近紫外光21の減衰を一層効果的に防止するために、シート体2の上面側2aの略全面を被覆するように、光反射材20が設置されてもよい。この場合、シート体2の上面側2aからの皮膚患部の透視性を確保するため、光反射材20は可撓性を有する無色透明材が望ましいが、患部透視の妨げになるような場合は、シート体2の端に設置する図示しないヒンジ等で、光反射材20がめくれるようにしたり、シート体2の端部を基軸に回動可能に接続するか、あるいは、シート体2の上面側2aから剥離可能な構成にするとよい。この結果、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aの殺菌効果及び感染菌の増殖防止効果を一層促進することができる。

Thus, by providing the light reflecting material 20 in the vicinity of the near-ultraviolet light-emitting portion 4a of the sheet body 2, the near-ultraviolet light 21 in the vicinity of the near-ultraviolet light-emitting portion 4a is not emitted to the outside, but the sheet body 2 It has the effect of being guided inside.
As a result, there is an effect that the near-ultraviolet light 21 emitted from the near-ultraviolet light emitting section 4a can be prevented from being attenuated by being emitted to the outside of the sheet body 2.
Therefore, the bactericidal effect of the medical light-emitting device 1a according to Example 1 and the effect of preventing the growth of infecting bacteria can be promoted.
Further, in order to more effectively prevent the near-ultraviolet light 21 emitted from the near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 4a from being attenuated, a light reflecting material 20 is installed so as to cover substantially the entire upper surface 2a of the sheet body 2. May be. In this case, in order to ensure the transparency of the affected area of the skin from the upper surface side 2a of the sheet body 2, the light reflecting material 20 is preferably a colorless transparent material having flexibility, The light reflecting material 20 is turned up by a hinge or the like (not shown) installed at the end of the sheet body 2, or the end portion of the sheet body 2 is pivotally connected to the base shaft, or the upper surface side 2 a of the sheet body 2. It is good to make it the structure which can peel from. As a result, the bactericidal effect of the medical light-emitting device 1a according to Example 1 and the effect of preventing the growth of infecting bacteria can be further promoted.
Instead of the light reflecting material 20, an ultraviolet shielding material that shields by absorbing ultraviolet rays or the like may be used. By shielding the ultraviolet rays radiated from the upper surface side of the sheet body 2, it has the effect of reducing the influence on the vision of doctors and nurses and further enhancing the safety of treatment.
また、図1(c)に示すように、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aにおいて、シート体2の下面側2bに光透過性を具備する粘着層7を介して光透過性を有する薬剤徐放ゼリー層8を設けても良い。
この場合、シート体2の上面側2aからの透視性を損なうことなく、皮膚患部にシート体2を密着させることができ、さらには、薬剤徐放ゼリー層8に含有される薬剤が皮膚患部に供給されることで、薬剤による皮膚患部の治癒効果、薬剤と近紫外光の相乗による薬剤耐性菌の増殖抑制効果も生じ、皮膚患部の治癒が一層促進されるという効果を有する。さらに、粘着層7を介することで、薬剤徐放ゼリー層8の薬剤が放出されてしまった場合に、薬剤満タンの新しい薬剤徐放ゼリー層8に容易に取り替えることができるという効果を有する。
よって、長期間にわたり実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aを用いて皮膚患部を治療する場合に、薬剤徐放ゼリー層8の交換を容易にすることができるので便利である。なお、薬剤徐放ゼリー層8を取り外すだけで新品なものに交換しなくてもよく、その場合には、粘着層7はシート体2に皮膚との密着力を付与し、医療用発光装置1aの装着時の位置ずれを防止しつつ密着性を高めることができるという効果を有する。
なお、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aを装着したままの状態で医師が皮膚患部を観察する際に、皮膚患部の状態がよく見えるよう、上記粘着層7や薬剤徐放ゼリー層8は、無色透明、あるいは、透明、略透明であることが望ましい。
ちなみに、上述のような粘着層7を介さずに薬剤徐放ゼリー層8を設けてもよいし、皮膚患部に薬剤を直接塗布した上にて後に、本発明である医療用発光装置を皮膚患部に接設してもよい。
Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 (c), in the medical light-emitting device 1a which concerns on Example 1, the chemical | medical agent which has a light transmittance through the adhesion layer 7 which has a light transmittance in the lower surface side 2b of the sheet | seat body 2. As shown in FIG. A sustained release jelly layer 8 may be provided.
In this case, the sheet body 2 can be brought into close contact with the skin affected area without impairing the transparency from the upper surface side 2a of the sheet body 2, and further, the drug contained in the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 is applied to the skin affected area. By being supplied, the effect of healing the affected skin area by the drug and the effect of inhibiting the growth of drug-resistant bacteria due to the synergistic effect of the drug and near ultraviolet light also occur, and the effect of further promoting the healing of the affected skin area is obtained. Furthermore, when the drug in the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 has been released, the adhesive layer 7 can be easily replaced with a new drug sustained release jelly layer 8 full of drugs.
Therefore, when the affected skin area is treated using the medical light emitting device 1a according to Example 1 for a long period of time, it is convenient because the replacement of the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 can be facilitated. In addition, it is not necessary to replace | exchange for a new thing only by removing the chemical | medical agent sustained release jelly layer 8, and in that case, the adhesion layer 7 provides the adhesive force with skin on the sheet | seat body 2, and the medical light-emitting device 1a. There is an effect that the adhesion can be enhanced while preventing the positional deviation at the time of wearing.
In addition, when the doctor observes the skin affected area while wearing the medical light emitting device 1a according to Example 1, the adhesive layer 7 and the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 are provided so that the state of the skin affected area can be seen well. It is desirable to be colorless and transparent, or transparent and substantially transparent.
Incidentally, the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 may be provided without using the adhesive layer 7 as described above, or after the drug is directly applied to the skin affected area, the medical light-emitting device of the present invention is applied to the skin affected area.

また、絆創膏に使用されるような皮膚に支障の少ない粘着剤を塗布してから医療用発光装置を皮膚患部上に貼設してもよく、要するに、装着方法は特に限定されるものではなく、皮膚患部の状況や患者の治療方式、治療様式に合わせるとよい。
A method for mounting the medical light-emitting device on the affected skin area will be described.
If the medical light emitting device 1a according to Example 1 has the adhesive layer 7 and the drug sustained release jelly layer 8 as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer and the drug sustained release jelly layer is improved. Utilizing it, it may be applied to the skin as it is or unfixed. When the adhesive layer and the drug sustained-release jelly layer are not provided, the medical light-emitting device may be fixed on the affected area of the skin, and then wound and fixed with an adhesive tape.
In addition, a medical light-emitting device may be affixed on the affected skin area after applying an adhesive that is less harmful to the skin as used in bandages, in short, the wearing method is not particularly limited, It is better to match the condition of the affected skin, the patient's treatment system, and treatment style.
次に、実施例2に係る医療用発光装置について図2を参照しながら詳細に説明する。ここでは、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置との相違点に重点をおいて説明する。
図2は本発明の実施例2に係る医療用発光装置の概念図である。なお、図1に記載されたものと同一部分については同一符号を付し、その構成についての説明は省略する。
図2に示すように、実施例2に係る医療用発光装置1bは、上述の実施例1に係る医療用発光装置1aの電力供給部5に代えて、近紫外光発光部4aに外部電力を供給するためのアダプター12を備えたものである。
このアダプター12は、例えば、導電コード15の端部にコンセント14、中ほどにはコンセント14から取り込まれた外部電力で近紫外光発光部4aが適切に発光するに必要な制御回路部13が設けられたものである。
Next, the medical light-emitting device according to Example 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Here, a description will be given focusing on differences from the medical light-emitting device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a medical light-emitting device according to Example 2 of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the part same as what was described in FIG. 1, and the description about the structure is abbreviate | omitted.
As shown in FIG. 2, the medical light-emitting device 1b according to the second embodiment supplies external power to the near-ultraviolet light-emitting portion 4a instead of the power supply unit 5 of the medical light-emitting device 1a according to the first embodiment. The adapter 12 for supplying is provided.
For example, the adapter 12 is provided with an outlet 14 at the end of the conductive cord 15 and a control circuit unit 13 necessary for the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a to appropriately emit light with external power taken from the outlet 14 in the middle. It is what was done.
図2に示す実施例2に係る医療用発光装置1bのように、アダプター12により近紫外光発光部4aに外部電力を供給するよう構成した場合には、本発明に係る医療用発光装置を小型軽量化できるという効果を有する。
この結果、患者が実施例2に係る医療用発光装置1bを皮膚患部に装着した際の圧迫感を軽減することができるという効果を有する。
なお、実施例2に係るアダプター12は、近紫外光発光部4aに着脱可能としてもよい。
この場合、近紫外光の照射を必要としない場合に、医療用発光装置1bを一層軽量化することができるという効果を有する。
When the adapter 12 is configured to supply external power to the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a as in the medical light-emitting device 1b according to the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the medical light-emitting device according to the present invention is reduced in size. It has the effect that it can be reduced in weight.
As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure when the patient wears the medical light-emitting device 1b according to Example 2 on the affected skin area.
The adapter 12 according to the second embodiment may be detachable from the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 4a.
In this case, there is an effect that the medical light-emitting device 1b can be further reduced in weight when irradiation with near-ultraviolet light is not required.
続いて、実施例3に係る医療用発光装置について図3を参照しながら詳細に説明する。ここでも、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置との相違点に重点をおいて説明する。
図3は本発明の実施例3に係る医療用発光装置の概念図である。図1又は図2に記載されたものと同一部分については同一符号を付し、その構成についての説明は省略する。
図3に示すように、実施例3に係る医療用発光装置1cは、実施例1や実施例2におけるシート体2が、略円形あるいは略楕円形といった角部を有さない平面形状を有するシート体22により構成され、さらに、このシート体22の側面を被覆するように近紫外光発光部23が周設されたものである。
このように、シート体22を、角がない平面形状にすることで、近紫外光発光部23を周設した際に、近紫外光発光部23を構成する基板部分に曲げによる負荷がかかりにくくなり、断線等により実施例3に係る医療用発光装置1cが故障するリスクを低減することができるという効果を有する。
Next, the medical light-emitting device according to Example 3 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Here, the description will be given with an emphasis on the difference from the medical light emitting device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of a medical light-emitting device according to Example 3 of the present invention. The same parts as those described in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of the configuration is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 3, the medical light-emitting device 1 c according to Example 3 is a sheet in which the sheet body 2 in Example 1 or Example 2 has a planar shape that does not have corners such as a substantially circular shape or a substantially elliptical shape. The near-ultraviolet light emitting portion 23 is provided around the sheet body 22 so as to cover the side surface of the sheet body 22.
Thus, by making the sheet body 22 into a planar shape without corners, when the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 is provided around, the substrate portion constituting the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 is hardly subjected to a load due to bending. Thus, the risk of failure of the medical light emitting device 1c according to the third embodiment due to disconnection or the like can be reduced.
また、本実施例に係る医療用発光装置1cの近紫外光発光部23は、ベアチップ11を収容した半導体発光素子10が接合される基板が、可撓性を有するフレキシブル基板16により構成される点が、実施例1や実施例2に係る近紫外光発光部4aとは異なっている。
このように、近紫外光発光部23にフレキシブル基板16を用いることで、近紫外光発光部23をシート体22の側面に周設することができるという効果を有する。
この結果、シート体22の側面全体から中央24に向って近紫外光21が照射されることになり、シート体22の平面方向にムラ無く近紫外光21が照射されると同時に、特にシート体22の中央24における近紫外光21の照射量を多くすることができるという効果を有する。
よって、シート体22の中央24における感染菌の殺菌及び増殖抑制効果を高めることができるという効果を有する。
また、近紫外光発光部23のフレキシブル基板16が可撓性を有することで、シート体22の側面の可撓性が高まり、実施例3に係るシート体22の皮膚患部への密着性を一層高めることができるという効果を有する。
Further, in the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 of the medical light-emitting device 1c according to the present embodiment, the substrate to which the semiconductor light-emitting element 10 containing the bare chip 11 is bonded is configured by a flexible substrate 16 having flexibility. However, it is different from the near-ultraviolet light emitting section 4a according to the first and second embodiments.
As described above, the use of the flexible substrate 16 for the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 has an effect that the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 can be provided around the side surface of the sheet body 22.
As a result, the near-ultraviolet light 21 is irradiated from the entire side surface of the sheet body 22 toward the center 24, and the near-ultraviolet light 21 is irradiated evenly in the planar direction of the sheet body 22, and at the same time, in particular, the sheet body. 22 has an effect that the irradiation amount of the near-ultraviolet light 21 at the center 24 can be increased.
Therefore, it has the effect that the sterilization and growth suppression effect of the infecting bacteria in the center 24 of the sheet body 22 can be enhanced.
Further, since the flexible substrate 16 of the near-ultraviolet light emitting unit 23 has flexibility, the flexibility of the side surface of the sheet body 22 is increased, and the adhesion of the sheet body 22 according to Example 3 to the skin affected area is further increased. It has the effect that it can be increased.
続いて、実施例4に係る医療用発光装置について図4を参照しながら詳細に説明する。ここでも、実施例1に係る医療用発光装置との相違点に重点をおいて説明する。
図4(a)は本発明の実施例4に係る医療用発光装置の概念図であり、(b)はその部分断面図である。なお、図1乃至図3に記載されたものと同一部分については同一符号を付し、その構成についての説明は省略する。
図4(a)に示すように、実施例4に係る医療用発光装置1dは、近紫外光を発する近紫外光発光部4bがシート体2から離れた位置に設けられ、この近紫外光発光部4bは光ファイバーケーブル17によりシート体2に接続されている。
また、光ファイバーケーブル17の近紫外光発光部4bに接続されない側の端部は、光ファイバーケーブル17が裸出して近紫外光導出部18を形成しており、この近紫外光導出部18がシート体2の厚み部分に挿設されることで、近紫外光発光部4bにおいて発せられた近紫外光21が光ファイバーケーブル17によりシート体2へと伝達され、近紫外光導出部18の側面からシート体2の内部に発光されるよう構成されるものである。
さらに、図4(b)に示すように、近紫外光導出部18の近傍に、光反射材20を設けてもよい。この場合、近紫外光導出部18から導出された近紫外光21がシート体2の上面側2aや側面2cから放射されて減衰するのを防止することができるという効果を有する。
このように、光ファイバーケーブル17により近紫外光21をシート体2に間接的に供給した場合、光ファイバーケーブル17が可撓性を有することでシート体2の可撓性が高められ、皮膚患部へのシート体2の密着性を高めることができるという効果を有する。
Next, the medical light-emitting device according to Example 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Here, the description will be given with an emphasis on the difference from the medical light emitting device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 4A is a conceptual diagram of a medical light-emitting device according to Example 4 of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a partial cross-sectional view thereof. The same parts as those described in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of the configuration is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 4A, in the medical light emitting device 1d according to the fourth embodiment, a near ultraviolet light emitting unit 4b that emits near ultraviolet light is provided at a position away from the sheet body 2, and this near ultraviolet light emission. The part 4 b is connected to the sheet body 2 by an optical fiber cable 17.
Further, the end of the optical fiber cable 17 on the side not connected to the near-ultraviolet light emitting section 4b has the optical fiber cable 17 exposed to form a near-ultraviolet light deriving section 18, which is a sheet body. 2, the near-ultraviolet light 21 emitted from the near-ultraviolet light-emitting portion 4 b is transmitted to the sheet body 2 by the optical fiber cable 17, and the sheet body from the side surface of the near-ultraviolet light deriving portion 18. 2 is configured to emit light inside.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, a light reflecting material 20 may be provided in the vicinity of the near ultraviolet light deriving unit 18. In this case, the near-ultraviolet light 21 derived from the near-ultraviolet light deriving unit 18 can be prevented from being radiated and attenuated from the upper surface side 2a and the side surface 2c of the sheet body 2.
As described above, when the near-ultraviolet light 21 is indirectly supplied to the sheet body 2 by the optical fiber cable 17, the flexibility of the sheet body 2 is enhanced by the flexibility of the optical fiber cable 17, so It has the effect that the adhesiveness of the sheet | seat body 2 can be improved.
また、この光ファイバーケーブル17(近紫外光導出部18)は、着脱可能にシート体2内に挿設されてもよい。着脱可能にシート体2内に挿設することで、例えば、電力供給部5や近紫外光21が、医師の診断等において邪魔となる場合には、光ファイバーケーブル17や電力供給部5をシート体2から取り外すことが可能となる。従って、医師は、シート体2の上面側から自然光を通して、皮膚患部の目視診察を容易に行うことが可能である。
