Description

 The invention relates to sanitary-hygienic means and can be used in everyday life, in the manufacturing sector and in sports for draining hands and other parts of the body, as well as for carrying out sanitary-hygienic procedures, for example, when removing oil and grease stains and sweat on hands, feet or removal of these substances from the surface of sports equipment and tools in contact with human skin.

 Known means for draining human skin, made, for example, in the form of napkins or towels, and which are interconnected flat elements forming a multilayer package (application Germany N 2723141, A 47 K 10/16, publ. 1997). Flat elements are made of fibrous non-woven material, capable of absorbing moisture.

 However, this tool has insufficient moisture-absorbing ability, does not provide effective sanitary and hygienic procedures associated with the removal of oil, grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, and also does not provide prevention of fungal skin diseases during the collective use of sports equipment.

Known moisture-absorbing material based on a fibrous material containing a coating layer of a hydrophilic substance, for example, polydiols, applied by spraying (USSR patent N 449466, IPC ⁷ A 61 F 13/20, publ. 13.06.75,).

 Such an invention is close in combination of essential features to the claimed technical solution. However, it refers to dressings and is not intended for sanitary-hygienic procedures associated with the removal of oil, grease stains from hands and other areas of human skin, and is also not intended for the prevention of fungal skin diseases in the collective use of sports equipment or tools.

A well-known rectangular sanitary napkin containing an elastic base impregnated with a prophylactic agent and enclosed in hermetic packaging (RF patent for utility model N 9160, IPC ⁷ A 61 F 13/15, published on 02.16.99, PMPO Bulletin N 2, 1999 g.). As a prophylactic, an alcohol solution of chlorhexidine bigluconate was used in the following ratio of ingredients, wt.%:
Chlorhexidine bigluconate - 40 - 60
Ethyl alcohol - 40 - 60
Such an invention is also close in combination of essential features to the claimed technical solution. However, this tool is intended for medical use for dressing for skin diseases. In addition, it has insufficient moisture absorption capacity and is not intended for sanitary-hygienic procedures associated with the removal of oil, grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, and is also not intended for the prevention of fungal skin diseases during the collective use of sports equipment.

The closest analogue (prototype) in terms of essential features is a square-shaped medical napkin folded in several layers and placed in a sealed rectangular shell (RF patent for utility model N 9724, IPC ⁷ A 61 F 13/00, publ. 16.05. 99 in the bulletin PMPO N 5, 1999). One option involves the implementation of wipes made of woven material, such as gauze. The cloth may be impregnated with a solution containing 70% alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol) or another solution, based on the purpose of the application.

 However, this tool is recommended to be used only as a tampon for medical purposes when applying dressings to affected skin. In addition, it has insufficient moisture-absorbing capacity and is not intended for sanitary-hygienic procedures related to the removal of moisture, oil, grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, and is also not intended for the prevention of fungal skin diseases during the collective use of sports equipment.

Known wipes are included, each of which is made of woven linen material and is intended as a means to protect clothing from contamination when eating food. Napkins are provided with a sticky layer for attaching them to clothing (UK patent N 2270615, IPC ⁷ A 47 G 11/00, publ. 23.03.94).

 However, the wipes in the kit have insufficient moisture absorption capacity, are not intended, and when used, they do not provide effective sanitary and hygienic procedures associated with the removal of oil and grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, and also do not provide prevention of fungal skin diseases during the collective use of sports equipment .

The closest analogue (prototype) is a sanitary-hygienic kit containing several sanitary-hygienic products, including at least one napkin in an individual sealed package, impregnated with an antiseptic composition, and at least one dry napkin in an individual sealed package (RF patent for useful model N 1409, IPC ⁷ A 47 K 7/03, published on January 16, 1996, in Bulletin PMPO N 1, 1999).

 However, this sanitary-hygienic kit does not provide effective sanitary-hygienic procedures associated with the removal of moisture, oil, grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, and also does not provide for the prevention of fungal skin diseases during the collective use of sports equipment. In addition, the napkins in the kit have insufficient moisture absorption capacity.

 The objective of the proposed invention is the creation of such a wipe with high moisture absorption capacity and a sanitary-hygienic set based on it, which would ensure the effective implementation of sanitary-hygienic procedures related to the removal of moisture, oil, grease stains from the hands and skin of a person, as well as provide prevention fungal skin diseases in the collective use of sports equipment.

This problem is solved in that a napkin made of woven cotton material of a square shape, folded in several layers and placed in a sealed package, according to the invention, the napkin is made of low-grade cotton with a surface density of fabric 120 - 172 g / m ² ; linear density of yarn: warp - 62.5-72 tex and weft - 50-72 tex, and the number of threads per 10 cm is: on the basis - 125-139 and weft - 83-89.

 The napkin contains antimicrobial and antifungal composition in the amount of 10 - 70% of its mass.

 The napkin contains a deodorizing and degreasing composition in an amount of 10 - 70% of its mass.

The antimicrobial and antifungal composition of the napkin contains glycerin, essential oil of oregano, essential oil of lavender, aqueous extract of aspen bark, ethyl alcohol, perfume and polyethylene oxide gel in the following ratio, wt.%:
Glycerin - 1.0 - 4.0
Oregano essential oil - 0.01 - 0.1
Lavender essential oil - 0.01 - 0.1
Water extract of aspen bark - 2.0 - 5.0

Napkins made of low-grade cotton with the above characteristics have a higher moisture absorption capacity and high sorption capacity due to the more voluminous and porous structure of cotton fibers compared with other varieties of cotton or linen fibers. The proposed cotton napkin measuring 40x40 cm and weighing 26 g absorbs and retains water in an amount of up to 70-100 g.

 The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of the proposed compositions are provided by the content in them of essential oils of oregano, lavender and an aqueous extract of aspen bark. Essential oils of oregano, lavender and aspen bark extract have a wide range of fungicidal and antimicrobial effects, soften and disinfect the skin, help reduce the likelihood of skin diseases and increase blood circulation.

 The gel of polyethylene oxide (TU 9154-004-11821987-93) is a water-soluble polymer and provides uniform application of antimicrobial or degreasing compositions to the tissue, contributes to the long-term maintenance of the activity of these compositions and prevents drying of the composition in sealed packaging. When applied, the polyethylene oxide gel softens the skin of the hands or feet of a person and is well washed off after use. The polyethylene oxide gel contains 1 - 2% polyethylene oxide and the rest is water, packed in the structure of this polymer after irradiating the solution, for example with accelerated electrons, to form a gel. A water-soluble gel allows the manufacture of these compositions at room temperature. This ensures the preservation of the biological activity of the natural components of the product, reduces energy costs for the manufacture of compositions.

 Glycerin (TU 46-4904560-01-91) provides a softening and moisturizing effect on the skin of the hands and feet, and also has good permeability, promotes the transport of substances through the epidermis.

 Salicylic and ethyl alcohols have antimicrobial and degreasing properties.

 As a fragrance, various floral and fruit (citrus, apple) fragrances are used, for example, the company Dragoko (Germany).

 When the following concentrations are introduced into the above compositions of ingredients, they do not provide an antimicrobial, fungicidal, degreasing and deodorizing effect, and when these concentrations of the components are exceeded, there is no significant increase in the positive effect, but the cost of a sanitary-hygienic kit or napkins significantly increases.

 In FIG. 1 shows a napkin in a section and a diagram of its placement in a sealed package. In FIG. 2 depicts a sanitary kit.

The napkin is made of cotton woven material 1, which is a low-grade cotton with a surface tissue density of 120 - 172 g / m ² ; linear density of yarn: warp - 62.5-72 tex and weft - 50-72 tex, and the number of threads per 10 cm is: on the basis - 125 - 139 and weft - 83-89. Layer 2 of an antimicrobial, antifungal or deodorizing and degreasing composition may be applied to the woven material. The napkin is placed in a sealed package 3.

 The sanitary-hygienic kit contains, for example, three napkins, each of which has its own color, for example, white, pink and purple, and is placed in an individual sealed package 4. The white napkin 5 is dry with a residual moisture content of not more than 5 wt.% And not contains the proposed antimicrobial or degreasing compositions. An antimicrobial and antifungal agent layer 7 is applied to the pink napkin 6, and a degreasing and deodorizing agent layer 9 is applied to the purple napkin 8. Next, the napkins are placed in the outer packaging 10.

 The following are examples of formulations applied to wipes.

Example 5. The technology of preparation of antimicrobial, antifungal, deodorizing and degreasing compositions and applying them to napkins
Upon receipt of the compositions using simple technological equipment, equipped with a reactor with a stirrer. A polyethylene oxide gel is loaded into a stirred reactor at 18 - 20 ^° C and the following components are added with stirring according to the above formulation in accordance with examples 1 and 2: essential oils of oregano and lavender, glycerin, an aqueous extract of aspen bark and perfume, or in accordance with examples 3 and 4: glycerin, perfume, salicylic alcohol and ethyl alcohol.

After mixing the components of the composition for 20 to 30 minutes, measure the pH of the mixture. If the pH of the product is below 5.5 ± 0.2 (the polyethoxide oxide gel has an acidic environment), then buffers (CACl ₂ • 6H ₂ O) and (Na ₂ HPO ₄ • 12H ₂ O) are added to the composition in an amount sufficient to providing a pH of 5.5 ± 0.2. The mixture is then homogenized again in the reactor for 20 to 30 minutes.

 The finished product is loaded into the spray gun and sprayed onto the surface of the tissue 1 material (Fig. 1) in an amount of 10 - 70% by weight of the tissue, depending on their purpose with the formation of layer 2. Layer 2 partially impregnates the tissue material 1. The processed napkins are folded in several layers and placed in an individual sealed package 3.

 Then complete sanitary-hygienic kits, which contain, for example, three napkins, each of which has its own color, for example, white, pink and purple, and is placed in an individual sealed package 4 (Fig. 2). White napkin 5 is made dry with a residual moisture content of not more than 5 wt. % and does not contain the proposed antimicrobial or degreasing compositions. An antimicrobial and antifungal agent layer 7 is applied to the pink napkin 6, and a degreasing and deodorizing agent layer 9 is applied to the purple napkin 8. Next, wipes 5, 6 and 8 are placed in the outer packaging 10. Various colors of wipes provide a quick finding of wipes with the desired composition (antiseptic and antifungal or degreasing and deodorizing) or without it.

 Napkins and sanitary kits are stored at room temperature for up to 12 months.

 Example 6. The method of application of sanitary kits.

 Depending on the nature of the pollution, rug and legs and other parts of the body use sanitary-hygienic kits and napkins as follows.

 Gasoline, oil or grease stains on the skin are removed with a pink towel 6 with a degreasing and deodorizing composition, followed by wiping with a dry white towel 5.

 Before and after sports, hands and feet, the athlete wipes a purple cloth 8 with an antiseptic and antifungal compound, followed by draining the skin with a white dry cloth 5. The same procedure is recommended for sports equipment (balls, rackets, rods, boxing gloves) in contact with human skin, which prevents the development of fungal and other skin diseases.

Example 7. The study of the antifungal effect of the antimicrobial composition (examples 1 and 2) on a culture of Candida albicans
To assess the prophylactic effect of antimicrobial compounds on human skin and the surface of processed objects, the antifungal effects of these compounds were studied on a Candida albicans culture. The daily culture of Candida albicans is bred 10 times. To 0.9 ml of the tested formulations (Examples 1 and 2), 0.1 ml of a diluted Candida albicans culture was added and incubated at room temperature. Sowing on cups with Sabur medium is performed after 3, 6, 24 hours. Cups with crops are incubated at 37 ^o C for 24 hours. The test results are given in table. 1.

 Analysis of table 1 shows that the proposed composition, prepared in accordance with examples 1 and 2, has a high prophylactic (antifungal) effect.

 In addition, experimental studies show that the claimed composition promotes the rapid healing of wounds, abrasions, scuffs and prevents the formation of corns. It has a softening and deodorizing effect, relieves itching, burning and pain observed with damage to the skin.

 Industrial applicability. The inventions can be used in everyday life, in production, in various sports, as well as for completing first-aid kits.
