Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ginger patches, and in particular to a self-heating and antiemetic ginger acupoint patch. Background Art
[0002] Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PVO) is a protective reflex triggered by diaphragmatic contraction after nerve and diaphragm stimulation. The rapid expulsion of gastric contents from the mouth is a common postoperative complication, typically referring to nausea, vomiting, and retching experienced within 24 hours after anesthesia. Given the antiemetic properties of ginger, which stems from the strong peripheral antiemetic effects of gingerone and zingiberone, as well as their sedative and analgesic properties, ginger is often used to alleviate the symptoms of PVO. In practice, ginger patches are made and applied directly to the skin.
[0003] While ginger patches can effectively relieve postoperative nausea and vomiting, the effect is still limited. Therefore, medical staff often use manual pressure or pressure tools to perform acupressure on patients. This stimulation inhibits the vomiting center and regulates gastrointestinal function, thereby preventing and treating nausea and vomiting. However, acupressure also increases the workload and difficulty of medical staff. If the pressure is not strong enough, the anti-vomiting effect will not be achieved, and it also increases the patient's care time.
[0004] In general, the antiemetic effect of existing ginger patches is still poor and still needs to be supplemented by other means. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present application aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art to a certain extent. To this end, the present application provides a self-heating and antiemetic ginger acupoint patch that can enhance the antiemetic effect.

[0028] Since the antiemetic effect of current ginger patches is still poor, other means are still needed to assist. This embodiment provides a self-heating antiemetic ginger acupoint patch.
[0029] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a self-heating and antiemetic ginger acupoint patch, which includes a patch body 11, ginger gel 21, an acupoint pressing block 31 and a self-heating bag 41.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 The side of the patch body 11 that is applied to the skin is the front side, and the side of the patch body 11 that is away from the skin is the back side. The front side of the patch body 11 is formed with a groove, and the area where the groove is provided on the patch body 11 is defined as the active area. The ginger gel 21 is filled in the groove.
[0031] In this embodiment, the self-heating bag 41 is a thin bag. The self-heating bag 41 is arranged on the back side of the patch body 11 and covers the active area of the patch body 11. The self-heating bag 41 adopts the self-heating bag of the existing technology, specifically a non-woven bag as a microporous breathable membrane to wrap the raw material layer. The raw material layer is the layer where the reactants are located. The heating material is mainly composed of iron powder, activated carbon, vermiculite, water, and salt. After opening, the self-heating bag will come into contact with the air. The raw material layer will accelerate the oxidation reaction rate and convert chemical energy into thermal energy. The self-heating bag is an existing technology. Those skilled in the art can check the product information or purchase it directly. Correspondingly, in order to prevent the self-heating bag from reacting before use, the self-heating antiemetic ginger acupoint patch also includes a sealing bag for packaging the patch body 11. Before use, the patch body 11 and the self-heating bag 41 attached thereto are packaged and sealed to isolate the self-heating bag 41 from the air before use.
[0032] Previous ginger patches all relied on the ginger component of the ginger patch to stimulate the skin and produce a hot and spicy sensation. This stimulation effect was not great and did not have much effect on the penetration of the ginger component. In this embodiment, the sealed bag is removed before use, and then the patch body 11 is applied to the acupuncture points on the body surface. The ginger gel 21 directly contacts the skin. Among the ginger components contained, gingerone and zingiberenone have a strong peripheral antiemetic effect, and also have sedative and analgesic effects. Among them, the ginger gel 21 can directly adopt the ginger gel technology of the existing technology. Those skilled in the art can purchase or customize it on the market, and this will not be described in detail.
[0033] The self-heating bag 41 provided as a thin bag can cover the active area. The self-heating bag 41 can generate heat after coming into contact with the air. The heating can expand the local skin pores and make it easier for the ginger component to penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the acupoint pressing block 31 is set in the groove. One end of the acupoint pressing block 31 is a pressing portion, and the other end of the acupoint pressing block 31 has a raised portion. The pressing portion is abutted against the front side of the patch body 11, and the raised portion is set away from the patch body 11 to contact the skin for acupoint stimulation. The patch body 11 can be deformed to allow the acupoint pressing block 31 to move away from the patch body 11, thereby allowing the raised portion to stimulate the skin. Among them, the patch body 11 is made of an elastically deformable material as a whole. In some other embodiments, an elastically deformable material can also be used in the area corresponding to the acupoint pressing block 31, and ordinary patch materials can be used in other areas. By pressing the patch body 11 at the corresponding position of the acupoint pressing block 31, the acupoint pressing block 31 can be moved toward the acupoint on the body surface, thereby stimulating the acupoint.
[0035] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, a hollow hole is opened in the middle of the self-heating bag 41 to expose the patch body 11 located at the position of the acupoint pressing block 31, so that it is easy to press and avoid the influence of the self-heating bag 41.
[0036] Specifically, the acupoint pressing block 31 is spherical, with the upper hemisphere of the acupoint pressing block 31 serving as the pressing portion, and the lower hemisphere of the acupoint pressing block 31 serving as the raised portion. In this embodiment, the acupoint pressing block 31 is made of a hard material. The spherical shape of the acupoint pressing block 31 is very suitable. During the pressing process, the operator can conveniently press the pressing portion of the upper hemisphere with their fingers, while the raised portion of the lower hemisphere can stimulate the acupoint without causing damage to the skin. The spherical acupoint pressing block 31 is also very easy to manufacture or purchase. Of course, in other embodiments, the acupoint pressing block 31 can also be designed as an ellipsoidal sphere.
[0037] It is understandable that when in use, after the patch body 11 is applied to the acupuncture points on the body surface, the patch body 11 is pressed at the groove position to press the acupuncture point pressing block 31 against the acupuncture points on the body surface to stimulate the acupuncture points. By stimulating the receptors and afferent nerves in the Neiguan acupuncture point area, nerve impulses are caused to be transmitted along the spinal cord to the vomiting center, inhibiting the abnormal discharge of the vomiting center, and then regulating the vomiting process through the efferent nerves. In the past, ginger patches had little antiemetic effect, and medical personnel still needed to use manual pressing or pressure tools to press the patient's acupuncture points for acupuncture stimulation. However, after using the self-heating antiemetic ginger acupuncture point patch of this embodiment, medical personnel only need to help the patient apply the patch once, and then they can press the acupuncture point pressing block 31 by themselves to stimulate the acupuncture points, which is more convenient.
[0038] The self-heating and anti-emetic ginger acupoint patch of this embodiment uses ginger gel to stop emesis, and is heated by a self-heating bag, so that the ginger component of the ginger gel can more easily penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue, which can enhance the anti-emetic effect. At the same time, an acupoint pressing block is designed, which has the anti-emetic function of acupoint stimulation. After application, the patient can also press it by himself, which is more convenient to use. The self-heating and anti-emetic ginger acupoint patch of this embodiment is not only suitable for stopping emesis for postoperative nausea and vomiting symptoms, but also for other vomiting conditions. Therefore, when understanding the scope of protection of this application, the scope of protection cannot be limited by postoperative anti-emetic. In addition, those skilled in the art can also print the operating instructions of the acupoint pressing block in the blank area of the patch body, that is, the area outside the self-heating bag coating, to facilitate medical staff and patients to learn the operation.
[0039] In some embodiments, the patch body 11 is disc-shaped, with a diameter of 20 mm to 40 mm. The groove is a circular groove located in the middle of the patch body 11, with a diameter of one-third to one-half of the patch body 11. The acupressure block 31 is located in the middle of the ginger gel 21. The acupressure block 31 is spherical, with a diameter of 2.5 mm to 6 mm. The ginger gel 21 covers the periphery of the acupressure block 31, with the protrusion exposed from the front side of the ginger gel 21. Figure 3 shown.
[0040] In some embodiments, the self-heating bag 41 covers the entire active area and extends to the periphery of the active area. It is understandable that the self-heating bag 41 not only heats the ginger gel 21, but also heats the skin around the ginger gel, which can further expand the local skin pores and make it easier for the ginger component to penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue. However, the patch body 11 isolates the self-heating bag 41 from the skin, and the self-heating bag 41 will not burn the skin. In addition, the self-heating bag 41 is a thin bag setting, and the heat generated will not burn the skin. At the same time, the non-woven bag therein is also selected. The air permeability of the non-woven bag is also one of the factors affecting the heating temperature of the self-heating bag. If a non-woven bag with lower air permeability is selected, the heat generated will not burn the skin.
[0041] In some embodiments, the self-heating and antiemetic ginger acupoint patch further includes a release sheet 51 , which is attached to the front side of the patch body 11 . Furthermore, the release sheet 51 is also designed with an easy-to-tear corner 52 .
[0042] In some embodiments, the self-heating and anti-emetic ginger acupoint patch also includes a protective sheet 61. The protective sheet 61 is annular and affixed to the edge of the back side of the patch body 11. The release sheet 51 and the protective sheet 61 are located on the front and back sides of the patch body 11. The protective sheet 61 and the release sheet 51 sandwich the edge of the patch body 11, preventing the edge of the patch body 11 from warping. In addition, the protective sheet 61 is provided with a notch 62 or seam, which facilitates the removal of the protective sheet 61.
[0043] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
