Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dressing material for external application on the skin of a user, produced by a method which includes, among other things, the incorporation and / or application of at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract into a coating composition or onto a carrier material. State of the art

[0002] In cases of musculoskeletal injuries, such as capsular ligament injuries, muscle tendon injuries, bone injuries, or degenerative processes, the affected body parts are usually partially or completely immobilized. Complete immobilization, for example, with plaster casts, is a well-established technique. However, a disadvantage of partial or complete immobilization is that the affected body parts often need to be immobilized for extended periods, and the type of immobilization, such as a plaster cast, can lead to secondary damage, such as circulatory disorders or tissue atrophy. Besides complete immobilization of affected body parts, methods for partial immobilization are now available. Of particular importance are taping techniques, which do not require complete immobilization (e.g., with a plaster cast).At least some of the complications that can arise from conventional methods of completely immobilizing body parts can be effectively avoided in this way. The tape bandage supports and relieves damaged areas, such as a joint, during movement, allows for limited functional loading, and thus prevents extreme movements that could potentially lead to further damage to various joint components. It also facilitates functional rehabilitation, for example, after joint surgery.

[0003] Tape bandages not only provide a stabilizing effect as a passive outer covering, but also activate muscle groups by stimulating mechanoreceptors in the skin and proprioceptors in muscles and tendons. The tension in these activated muscle groups results in additional stabilization, also known as the proprioceptive effect. Tape bandages have therefore become indispensable in medical care. Nevertheless, some of the complications previously mentioned in connection with bandages that completely immobilize a body part can also occur with tape bandages. These include, in particular, damage caused by insufficient blood supply or tissue atrophy.

[0004] Zinc oxide bandages are also used in orthopedics, surgery, and sports medicine because they provide support, stabilization, and relief. A zinc oxide bandage—also simply called a zinc dressing—is a bandage treated with zinc oxide. The main component of a zinc oxide bandage is a zinc oxide paste. A zinc oxide bandage achieves its effect through the harmonious interplay of compression, cooling, anti-inflammatory properties, and stabilization. It is well-known in the field and is used in sports medicine, orthopedics, and surgery for acute injuries or chronic conditions. When applied, the bandage is still moist; the evaporation creates a pleasantly cooling effect. As it hardens, the bandage becomes semi-rigid but still offers sufficient flexibility for everyday movements. However, known problems such as damage due to insufficient blood supply or tissue atrophy cannot be ruled out.

[0005] EP 1 924 296 discloses a dressing material comprising a carrier material and at least one active ingredient, each derived from Arnica montana, Rhus toxicodendron, and Ruta graveolens. The use of this dressing material for the manufacture of a medicinal product for the treatment of diseases or disorders of the musculoskeletal system is also disclosed. Preferably, the dressing material is used as a tape bandage. Accordingly, EP 1 924 296 discloses a dressing material containing a natural active ingredient, which not only enables partial immobilization of an injured body part but also accelerates regeneration and the healing process.

[0006] In addition to the tape bandages described above, grid plasters, unlike traditional plasters, also work through a mechanical stimulus on the skin. Grid plasters work due to their grid-like structure, which allows for precise placement on pain and trigger points. This mechanically stabilizes affected areas and improves blood circulation, supporting natural regeneration. When a grid plaster is applied precisely to a sensitive area, the skin surface is gently "fixed" within the grid. Despite this, the tissue underneath continues to move with every small movement. This creates a gentle shifting and relieving stimulus. The skin can lift slightly, and the area often feels more relieved – without pressure or discomfort. Grid plasters can also be worn for longer periods than traditional plasters and are suitable for everyday wear, rather than providing only short-term relief.

[0007] Nevertheless, problems known from classic plasters, such as skin irritation at the adhesive site or redness after removal of the plaster, can also occur with grid plasters.

[0008] WO 2022 / 137177 discloses grid plasters for reducing itching and / or swelling caused by insect bites, as well as a method for their manufacture. This method includes, among other things, coating one side of a backing material with acrylate adhesive and creating a grid structure on the finished plaster. The plaster is also activated by repeatedly irradiating the underside with UV light. The mechanism of action of the described grid plasters is exclusively mechanical; a combination with other ingredients and / or extracts is explicitly excluded.

[0009] In addition, EP 3 788 996 discloses a dressing material which, besides its mechanical mode of action, offers the user added value in the prophylaxis and treatment of physiological disorders. The dressing material, designed to be worn on a user's skin, comprises a carrier material, at least one physiological sensor connected to the carrier material (the physiological sensor being configured to detect at least one value of a metabolite of the user or at least one value of a mineral of the user), and an interface configured to output the detected value. Disclosure of the invention

[0010] According to the invention, a dressing material for external application on the skin of a user is proposed, which is produced by a method comprising the following steps: i. Manufacturing a coating composition based on a polymeric matrix, in particular an acrylate, silicone or hydrogel matrix; ii. optional, incorporating at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract into the coating composition before, during or after mixing the polymer matrix; iii. Providing a flexible, in particular elastic or pasty, carrier material; iv. Applying at least one skin-adherent layer, comprising the coating composition, to the substrate material; v. optional, application of at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract to the substrate material, wherein the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract is at least partially incorporated into the coating composition by diffusion, swelling, migration and / or physical interaction; vi. Drying, curing, crosslinking and / or polymerizing the applied skin-adherent layer(s) on the carrier material, wherein the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract in the coating composition is immobilized and / or dispersed in the polymeric matrix; vii. optional, structuring the coated substrate material; and viii. Assembling the dressing material; performing at least one of the optional steps ii. and v.

[0011] This provides a dressing material, particularly in the form of skin-friendly and breathable plasters, tapes, patches or dressings, which combines a primary mechanical effect, such as mechanical irritation and relief as well as support and compression effects, with caring effects and can be used as a Class I medical device (according to MDR, EU 2017 / 745).

[0012] The dressing material produced according to the present invention is a flexible material that can be applied to the skin of a user's body on injured parts, particularly of the musculoskeletal system. The flexibility of the dressing material should be selected such that, on the one hand, it allows guided, supported movement of the affected parts of the musculoskeletal system, while on the other hand, it also sufficiently stabilizes them to prevent undesirable or extreme movements, such as overstretching. The dressing material produced according to the invention can be composed of one or more materials. The dressing material comprises at least a backing material, a coating composition, and a natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract, or a combination thereof, as described above.

[0013] The natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract can be applied directly to the carrier material or coupled to an excipient, particularly the coating composition, which is applied to the carrier material. In addition to the carrier material, the coating composition, and the natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredients and / or extracts, the dressing material can therefore also include other excipients. Suitable excipients include pharmaceutically compatible solvents for the ingredients and / or extracts, substances that influence the elasticity or stiffness of the carrier material, and substances required for applying the dressing material to the skin, such as adhesives.

[0014] The dressing material can be in any geometric shape. Preferably, it is in the form of a rectangular, round, or grid-shaped plaster, or, equally preferably, as a rectangular bandage or dressing. The dressing material according to the invention is preferably breathable, water-repellent, and made of hypoallergenic materials. By selecting suitable colors, for example, red, blue, or yellow, it is also possible to influence bodily processes energetically.

[0015] In the context of the present invention, the term "carrier material" refers to an elastic or pasty material, e.g., a textile fabric, a polymer film, or a composite material, in particular a woven or non-woven fabric, which may be composed of one or more different components, i.e., also as a blended fabric. The basic structure of the carrier material is preferably composed of a natural or synthetic polymer or polymer film, e.g., a polyester, or a polycondensate, e.g., a polyhydroxyalkanoate.

[0016] Suitable materials for the backing of the carrier material are known in the prior art. The carrier material particularly preferably comprises a mixture of natural components, preferably cotton, viscose, or rubber, and synthetic components, preferably acrylic. Further materials, e.g., the aforementioned additives, can be incorporated into the carrier material. The carrier material should also be such that it can bond, either directly or via additives, with the aforementioned natural, mineral, and / or synthetic components and / or extracts, or combinations thereof. Likewise, the carrier material should preferably be able to bond with the coating composition. Particularly in the case of a textile carrier structure, the bond between the carrier material and the coating composition is achieved by mechanical anchoring within the textile structure.

[0017] The optional structuring of the coated substrate material (according to step vii.) is preferably carried out by punching, laser cutting and / or embossing to create a grid, mesh or perforated structure.

[0018] The final preparation (according to step viii) includes in particular cutting into strips or patches and / or rolling up the dressing material.

[0019] The coating composition produced and used for the dressing material comprises, in particular, an acrylate, silicone, or hydrogel matrix and forms the basis for a skin-adherent layer, which is applied to the carrier material (according to step iv). The coating composition is applied, in particular, by brushing, rolling, spraying, and / or coating, especially by means of a doctor blade, roller, or spray coating. Furthermore, it is also possible to apply the coating composition by passing the carrier material through the coating composition. Application by brushing, rolling, spraying, and / or coating is particularly preferred in the production of kinesiology tapes or grid plasters.In the production of zinc adhesive dressings, the application is preferably carried out by passing the carrier material through the coating composition, so that the carrier material is completely penetrated by the zinc-containing coating composition.

[0020] The drying, curing, crosslinking and / or polymerization of the skin-adherent layer(s) comprising the coating composition (according to step vi.) is preferably carried out at a temperature in the range of 25 to 100 °C, more preferably 35 to 95 °C, and particularly preferably 40 to 90 °C. This step may also include tempering and / or pre-drying.

[0021] The phrase "at least one natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract" refers to both isolated ingredients or extracts and mixtures. The ingredients and / or extracts do not exert a primary pharmacological effect but support skin care, cooling, or regeneration. They therefore act as a complementary, non-pharmacological agent. The ingredients or extracts comprise at least one natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredient or extract, in particular plant extracts, synthetic analogues, plant constituents, minerals, trace elements, or their derivatives.

[0022] Within the scope of the present invention, it has been found that the dressing material produced according to the invention comprises the aforementioned steps and components, possesses the therapeutic advantages of a dressing material known in the prior art, e.g., tape bandages, while simultaneously avoiding its disadvantages. The additional integration of natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredients and / or extracts, and the resulting local supply to the area of ​​skin or musculoskeletal system covered by the dressing material, leads to increased blood supply (especially venous activation), stabilization of the damaged structure while maintaining good mobility, prevention of muscle atrophy, and a therapeutically beneficial effect on skin and pain receptors, muscles and muscle attachments, as well as the capsular and ligamentous apparatus.The dressing material according to the invention can thus be used efficiently for injuries and disorders of parts of the musculoskeletal system, such as muscular pain syndromes, muscle cramps, joint pain and sprains, tendon and ligament problems, rheumatic complaints, contusions, overstretching, muscle fiber tears, ligament ruptures, strains, recent injuries with pronounced hematomas, finger sprains, skier's thumb, tennis and golfer's elbow, inpigment syndromes, insertional endinopathies, abductor injuries, knee effusions, knee problems, Achilles tendon problems, heel spurs, ankle problems, forefoot and midfoot pain (longitudinal and transverse arches), wrist problems, cervical, thoracic, or longitudinal spine problems, migraines, or lymphedema. In the case studies underlying the present invention, it was found that the advantageous effects of a dressing material, e.g.,a tape bandage, synergistically combined with the therapeutic effects of the aforementioned ingredients and / or extracts, whereby in addition to the synergism found, a drastic reduction in the consequential damage that can be caused by a tape bandage was also observed.

[0023] In an advantageous embodiment, the dressing material is designed as a kinesiology tape, a grid plaster, a zinc oxide bandage or a hydrogel patch for external application on the skin of a user.

[0024] A dressing material in the form of a grid plaster is characterized in particular by its grid-like structure and its packaging as a plaster. Furthermore, grid plasters preferably comprise a coating composition based on an acrylate matrix, especially in the form of an acrylate adhesive.

[0025] A bandage material in the form of (kinesiology) tape or tape bandage is characterized in particular by its preparation as a tape. It preferably comprises a uniaxially or biaxially elastic cotton or viscose material as the backing material.

[0026] A dressing material in the form of a zinc oxide bandage is characterized in particular by a coating composition comprising zinc oxide in a polymeric matrix, e.g., gelatin. Furthermore, a zinc oxide bandage is preferably supplied as a rolled-up strip and ideally comprises a cotton or viscose material as a backing material. A dressing material in the form of a hydrogel patch comprises in particular a water-containing polymer matrix, e.g., a polyacrylate or PVA gel, and is preferably supplied in the size of a plaster.

[0027] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract is selected from the group consisting of plant extracts, plant components, minerals, trace elements or their derivatives.

[0028] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract is selected from the group consisting of arnica (Arnica montana), cannabidiol, hyaluronic acid, horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), heartseed (Cardiospermum halicacabum), mineral zinc compounds, in particular zinc oxide, menthol or combinations of the aforementioned ingredients and / or extracts.

[0029] An ingredient and / or extract, as used herein, is in particular a chemical compound that can be obtained from one of the aforementioned plants or a part thereof, e.g., seeds, leaves, or stems. A mixture or combination thereof within the meaning of the present invention is a mixture or combination of such chemical compounds or also with mineral and / or synthetic ingredients and / or extracts. The mixture can be produced by mixing corresponding individual ingredients and / or extracts or by jointly obtaining various ingredients and / or extracts from the plants or parts thereof.

[0030] For example, within the scope of the present invention, an ingredient and / or extract, or a mixture or combination thereof, is used, obtained by extraction with a solvent consisting of an alcohol and water. For this purpose, healthy plants are first harvested, cleaned, and then freshly crushed. The crushed plant pulp is mixed with the solvent and preferably incubated in the dark so that the ingredients and / or extracts can be dissolved from the crushed plant fragments by the solvent. A primary extract is obtained by subsequently separating the crushed plant fragments from the mixture with the solvent. The separation can be carried out, for example, by filtration, sedimentation, or centrifugation. Preferably, the primary extract is obtained by filtration. The solvent used preferably consists of 90% alcohol and 10% water.Ethanol is particularly preferred. Details regarding the formulation and preparation of the ingredients and / or extracts used in the present invention can be found in the "German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia", Schwabe, Leipzig, 1901 (HAB). Preparations containing appropriately prepared ingredients and / or extracts, or mixtures or combinations thereof, are commercially available.

[0031] The primary extract produced by the previously described method is preferably used in the dressing material according to the invention as a diluted extract. An alcohol-water mixture, preferably as described above, is also used as the diluent. The diluted extract is preferably prepared by succussion, as described in the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (HAB).

[0032] Alternatively, ingredients and / or extracts that cannot be dissolved in alcohol and / or distilled water from the raw material (e.g., plant leaves) can first be triturated to the 3rd / 4th potency. In trituration, the raw material is ground and scraped three times with lactose in a mortar for each potentization step, with the ratio of raw material to lactose being approximately 1:100. The ingredients and / or extracts described above, obtained by extraction or trituration, are preferably formulated for topical application.

[0033] The ingredients and / or extracts cannabidiol, hyaluronic acid, menthol and mineral zinc compounds can also be obtained in accordance with HAB regulations.

[0034] The ingredients and / or extracts, mixtures, or combinations thereof are particularly preferably formulated as ointments or creams. In addition to the aforementioned ingredients and / or extracts obtained by extraction or trituration, the ointments or creams preferably also contain wool wax, wool wax alcohol ointment (consisting of cetostearyl alcohol, wool wax alcohols, and white visilin), liquid paraffin, and water. The ointments typically contain the ingredient and / or extract at a concentration of 5–20% (w / w), preferably 10% (w / w). Instead of ointment form, the aforementioned ingredients and / or extracts obtained by extraction or trituration may also be used in any other form suitable for local administration, particularly when attached to a carrier material, e.g., as a gel.

[0035] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract is contained in the coating composition in a total amount of 0.01 to 5.0 wt.%, preferably 0.05 to 3 wt.%, particularly preferably 0.1 to 2 wt.%, based on the weight of the coating composition.

[0036] In another advantageous embodiment, the polymeric matrix constitutes 93-95 wt.% of the coating composition, based on the weight of the coating composition.

[0037] In addition to the integration of other components such as natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredients and / or extracts or possible auxiliary agents, this allows for optimal utilization of the properties of the polymer matrix, such as skin adhesion, support effect or moisture retention.

[0038] In a further advantageous embodiment, the at least one natural, mineral and / or synthetic ingredient and / or extract is homogeneously distributed, microencapsulated, bound to the polymeric matrix and / or present in the coating composition in the form of solid or dissolved particles.

[0039] A further advantage of the dressing material according to the invention is that the ingredients and / or extracts are not only applied to the surface of the dressing material, but are integrated into the polymer matrix. This preserves the functional properties of the respective system. The coating composition continues to exhibit the required adhesive performance, the textile backing material retains its elastic properties, and, if the coated backing material has been structured, the structural design remains functional.

[0040] In a further advantageous embodiment, the coated substrate material is structured by punching, laser cutting, and / or embossing to form a grid, mesh, and / or perforated structure, preferably with an open area of ​​20 to 85%, particularly preferably 30 to 80%, compared to the area of ​​an unstructured substrate material. That is, by structuring the coated substrate material through punching, laser cutting, and / or embossing, substrate material is removed, preferably with a proportion of 20 to 85%, particularly preferably 30 to 80%.

[0041] In a further advantageous embodiment, the backing material is uniaxially or biaxially elastic, and the dressing material is prepared as kinesiology tape or tape bandage. The uniaxially or biaxially elastic backing material is, in particular, longitudinally elastic and / or transversely elastic.

[0042] In a further advantageous embodiment, the coating composition is formed as a zinc-glue-containing, pasty mass and contains zinc oxide and / or other mineral zinc compounds.

[0043] If the dressing material is prepared as kinesiology tape or a tape bandage, it is advantageous if the ingredients and / or extracts are integrated into the acrylate matrix. If the coating composition is in the form of a zinc-containing, pasty mass, the ingredients and / or extracts are preferably integrated into the zinc-containing, pasty mass.

[0044] In another advantageous embodiment, the coating composition is based on a water-containing hydrogel matrix and the dressing material is prepared as a hydrogel patch.

[0045] The dressing material according to the invention is used for external application on the skin of a user as a dressing material with a primary mechanical effect.

[0046] Such a primary mechanical effect is achieved, for example, through mechanical stimulation and relief, as well as support and compression effects, and is combined with nourishing effects, particularly those caused by the integrated natural, mineral, and / or synthetic ingredients and / or extracts. The use of the disclosed dressing material according to the invention is preferably as a Class I medical device (according to MDR, EU 2017 / 745). Explanations / Examples

[0047] The invention is illustrated by means of exemplary embodiments. These exemplary embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection. Example 1: Tape dressing material

[0048] A bandage approximately 10 meters long and 4.5 cm wide consists of a surface material and a skin-side material (coating composition). The surface material is 100% cotton. The skin-side material consists of 5% zinc oxide, 5% rubber, and 90% acrylic. An adhesive is applied to the skin-side material in strips, arranged to define diamond-shaped areas. Diluted extracts of Arnica montana, Rhus toxicodendron, and Ruta graveolens are applied within these diamond shapes. The extracts are Arnica D12, Rhus toxicodendron D12, and Ruta graveolens D12. The dressing material is treated to be breathable and water-repellent. The dressing material allows for 95% longitudinal elongation and 5% transverse elongation. The substances used in the dressing material are hypoallergenic. The dressing material is available in red, blue, and yellow.The bandage material is used as a tape dressing for injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Several very good results have already been achieved. In particular, improved blood supply to the affected parts of the musculoskeletal system and the prevention of muscle atrophy have been observed. Example 2: Case study

[0049] User: male, 30 years old, athlete;

[0050] Medical history: Suffered a partial Achilles tendon rupture while playing tennis;

[0051] Diagnosis: a partial tear was detected using ultrasound; previous therapy: Adimed shoe with heel wedges for 4-6 weeks (within this time wedge change until the ankle joint is in a neutral-zero position);

[0052] Even weeks later, the user complains of increased foot swelling, morning start-up pain, and a feeling of instability. Therapy using tape dressing material from example 1:

[0053] Applying the bandage resolved the morning stiffness and swelling within two days. The bandage was changed after one week and completely removed after the second week. The user was then able to resume his normal sporting activities.

[0054] The ingredients and extracts in the tape bandage had a positive effect on the blood, blood vessels, and lymphatic system. Increased blood flow improved tissue regeneration (which is not optimally supported after a traumatic injury to the muscle-capsule-ligament complex). Applying the tape, which adapts to skin movements due to its flexibility, activated the skin, pain receptors, and circulatory system with every movement of the user, allowing the ingredients and / or extracts to take effect locally. The removal of tissue fluid was increased, and circulation was significantly accelerated. Faster pain reduction allowed for a quicker return to activity, which in turn further enhanced circulation and simultaneously supported muscle building. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
