This invention relates to a new more effective method for problems such as
hemorrhoids, vulvo-vaginitis, or similar problems. The reason is that the
applicant has observed that the regular dressings and medicated gauzes,
the medications will be absorbed by the gauze and may diffuse and
contaminate the opposing dress or underwear. Also, when used over places
such as abscess, and areas that needs drainage, the pressure over the
wound may prevent proper draining. In other cases such as hemorrhoids,
the problem is both internal and external, which is also true about
vaginitis in which case the involvement is the infection and inflammation
of both the inner female organ and the external genitalia. In these
circumstances using the medication internally may not be effective for
the external problems, but it may also cause contamination of the
adjacent areas of the body and underwear as well. For such reasons this
new method of medicine application is introduced which will help the
treatment and will keep the underwear clean. In this method a special
medicated pad is used in which this pad has a non-permeable protective
plastic cover outside to prevent the medication from diffusing from the
medicated pad and contaminating the skin of the area. The inner medicated
part would help the area to heal so that the skin of the area would be
treated in the center and would not contaminate the outside as well.
Importantly, the surface of this pad may have raised spots to work as a
means of massaging the skin or parts of the mucosa. Also, this
application introduces new units that are to be used in the anal or
vaginal area and that utilize special piece made of a central piece
covered with a layer of absorbent or a media that will hold the
medication will be mesh or a body of sponge that is inserted into the
anal area or vagina to allow its medicated surface to function properly.
This piece will be connected to the center of a special medicated pad as
mentioned above in order to a treat the outside inflamed area as well.
This pad is chosen since it has protective cover outside that prevents a
contamination of the skin, as well as an inner part that provides
medication to the neighboring skin or mucosa. It is believed that these
units can also be used in other cases for special dressings as well. The
claims will be provided with regular application.
