PROCESS FOR MAKING MEDICATED BANDS WHICH ALLOW APPLICATION OF MORE THAN ONE MEDICATION FOR DELIVERY TO THE WOUND AND BANDS MADE BY THEM.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates in general to medicated bands/bandages and covering material, and in particular to processesfor making medicated bandswhich allowapplication ofone or more medication for delivery to the wound. The medication and or active ingredients are stored in a soluble core reservoir.

BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART

Medicated bands are well known in the art. Traditionally, they contain one perforated covering and one layer of medicated non soluble filmic substrate. Accordingly, their application is limited to protecting simple and small open wounds in humans and animals.In the past there have been various methods of wound dressings with pre-medicated patches or bands.However, these patches were very sensitive to environmental factors and the medication was restricted to singular cures only,and consequently,only one kind of medication was available for application (like in Band-Aid (Johnson and Johnson).These bands were targeting smaller wounds and lesser kinds of germs/bacteria/viruses. By design, these bands, having medicinal patches, were restrictive in size and coverage. This imposed serious drawbacks in the medicated bands of the prior art.
Several other bandages like elastomeric bandages are available in the market, which target the muscles or hold ligaments in place. However, these bandages do not carry any medications embedded within them and are usually impervious to water or solvents, as these needs to be dry.
The present invention seeks to overcome this drawback of the prior art. It discloses a medicated band which allows application ofone or more medication for delivery to the wound, upon application of external solvents, like but not limited to water.It allows bandages in wide width rollswhich can be carried in ambulances or first aid kits in a relatively small space. They cover larger area of wound, and are capable of delivering varied medications based on wide spectrum of end uses. These can also be dispenced from rolled container.
The invention is basically contrary to theelastomeric bandages as the target end use necessitates that there is no stretch, and the delivery of medication(s) is done after creation of an aqueous environment.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an unique medicated band which allowapplication ofone or more medication for delivery to the wound, using various Bio compostable , skin friendly perforated substrate and a soluble active embedded/entrapped dry filmbased reservoir.
Another object of the invention is to provide processes for making medicated bands with larger widths, length and in various shapes, sheets or rolls
Yet another object of the invention is to provide processes for making medicated bands with Solubleyarn, for total dissipation, after wound cure.
Yet anotherobject of the invention is to provide processes for making medicated bands withMedicated Cold Water Soluble Films (CWSF).
A further object of the invention is to provide process for making medicated bands with perforated like mesh cotton fabric in web form.
A still further object of the invention is to provide processes for making medicated bands with Bio compostable perforated substrate,yarns other than cottonon both front and back faces
How the foregoing objects are achieved will be clear from the following description. In this context it is clarified that the description provided is non-limiting and is only by way of explanation.

DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of the present invention thesoluble films are defined as follows:
Aqueous Soluble films– Term mean films are soluble in water or aqueous medium as to dissolve the embedded actives from reservoir at various temperature range.
Non Aqueous Soluble Film – Term means film is soluble in solvents other than water , like but not limited to Alcohols or their derivatives, as to release the embedded activesfrom reservoir at various temperature range.
CWSF: Term means Cold Water Soluble Film is a term used for the purpose of the document, is any such film which dissolves in water having temperature range 5oC to 50 oC, preferably 10oC to 40oC
HWSF: Term means Hot Water soluble Film. The temperature of dissolution of a film can be controlled by the right usage of resins. Example, but not limited to is, using a High Mole Value PVA or a substantially insoluble Starch or water based Polyurethane resin, or combination of any or all such resins. Person known to art of making such films, is usually aware of such formulations.
NSHS: Term means substantially insoluble hydrophilic substrate. Here the temperature of wateris of little consequence, but the property of formulation will ensure that such a substrate is hydrophyllic, and will absorb minute quantities of water, but will not dissolve. Example, but not limited to is, using a High Mole Value PVA, with an added quantity of NaOH ( Sodium Hydroxide or other such PH regulating ingredients, so as to get the PH of the casting solution to become highly alkaline or highly acidic) or a non soluble Starch or water based Polyurathane resin, or combination of any or all such resins and ingredients. Person known to art of making such films, is usually aware of such formulations.NSHS includes cellulosic derivatives, like but not limited to, cotton.
Cotton Gauze/ Fabric – Term means cotton gauze/ fabric is an article which is hydrophilic and compostable by a natural process of composting.
Bio compostable material: Term means Bio compostable film is defined as an article which is compostable by a process of composting as is known to a person skilled in the art
Non Woven Fabric: Term means to denote fabrics such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Having described the main features of the invention above, a more detailed and non-Limiting description of a preferred embodiment will be given in the following paragraphs with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In all the figures, like reference numerals represent like features. Further, the shape, size and number of the devices shown are by way of example only and it is within the scope of the present invention to change their shape, size and number without departing from the basic principle of the invention.
Further, when in the following it is referred to “top”, “bottom”, “upward”, “downward”, “above” or “below” , “right hand side”, “left hand side” and similar terms , this is strictly referring to an orientation with reference to the apparatus , where the base of the apparatus is horizontal and is at the bottom portion of the figures. The number of components shown is exemplary and not restrictive and it is within the scope of the invention to vary the shape and size of the apparatus as well as the number of its components, without departing from the principle of the present invention.
All through the specification including the claims, the technical terms and abbreviations are to be interpreted in the broadest sense of the respective terms, and include all similar items in the field known by other terms, as may be clear to persons skilled in art. Restriction or limitation if any referred to in the specification, is solely by way of example and understanding the present invention.
Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of unique medicated band according to the invention. It shows top and bottom layers (1) cotton fabric, Perforated films like but not limited to Bio compostable substrate, perforated soluble film and non woven fabric or soluble yarn based porous warp and weft, and a soluble active embedded core reservoir material sandwiched (fig 2) in between them, the outer protective layers are only exemplary and can be used in any combination.
Figure 2 shows the novel and inventive step of sealing the top and bottom layers (1) to the band. Moisture is sprayed on the band surfaces both from the top and bottom sides out of perforated circular wheels (3) and subsequently pressure pressed using two rollers or hot wheels.This creates a reservoir of active medicamentembedded or entrapped in a CWSF layered active embedded soluble core reservoir(2)to the dispersed locally with external push of water. Thus the band has the following features:
a. Adhesion
b. Heat sealing
c. Fabric or non woven or soluble yarn material as external protective substrate
d. Hydrophillic properties
Figure 3 shows sprinkling of water from top and/or bottom so as to wet the core material enough to make it tacky and promoting its adhesion thereby sealing the layers, and then passing through two or more pressure rollers. The prepared band is then rewound to form a coil and left forself-curing. Alternatively, an external NSHSsubstrate is affixed on Top/Bottom before leaving the same in reel form for self-curing. Hot water soluble yarn is also used to make woven strips/cloth and Bio C perforated substrate are used in place of cotton and other yarns, on both upper and lower surfaces.
Other types of sealing mechanisms may also be employed to compress the layers of substrate and the medicated films, for example, hot press sealing near corners, continuous sealing by side moulding etc.The suited method used herein is sealing by way of two or more pair of spring loaded rollers. Such rollers roll backwards slightly when compressed, which would in turn push medicated band material back slightly thereby forming a better seal.
The disclosed medicated bands according to another preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated and shown generally at Fig 1. The said medicated bands may be sold in any convenient length, and is rolled into a coil and positioned within a suitable dispense. Dispenser (not shown) is provided with a slot for dispensing the product from the dispenser. A person skilled in the art will be able to understand the use of general purpose dispenser to house and dispense the band coils, and further its use in regard with dispensing bands of desired length.
