Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The patent application of the present invention generally relates to the medical and health sector, and more specifically to the fields of dermatology, surgery and cardiac surgery. More specifically, the present invention is included in the field of treatment for skin or dermal injuries, as well as the prevention and treatment of infections caused by burns and accidental causes, long-term hospitalization and / or the healing of surgical sutures.
Background Art
[0002] As is known, any change on the skin surface caused by a pathological event, a traumatic event or an environmental event is called a skin lesion.
[0003] In the intact skin, a large number of bacterial species defined as the "resident flora" are established, which shows a competitive effect against other bacterial species attempting to colonize themselves. In most cases, skin lesions show a rapid course towards healing, but in some patients, despite medical care and nursing, the course is particularly long and complex and does not necessarily progress towards healing. In the case of wounds such as extensive surgical sutures and burns, the presence of a large amount of bacterial contamination can damage the patient's health and in extreme cases lead to death due to sepsis. As a result, these injuries have an adverse impact on physical and mental health, and more generally on the quality of life of the patient, causing the consumption of important resources that have an impact on the health system in both the long-term hospitalization, organizational and economic aspects.
[0004] The risk of infection of chronic skin lesions is related to the host's resistance and the characteristics, load, and pathogenicity of the bacteria. In fact, all skin lesions are contaminated, but this state is characterized by the presence of non-replicating or growth-declining microorganisms for which the healing process is easy. However, they tend to replicate more quickly when the host can no longer maintain the balance between the attacking and defensive factors, leading to an increase in the bacterial load that is characteristic of a successive stage causing the expansion of the lesions with an obvious delay in the healing process. Finally, an infectious state characterized by the blockade of strong cell replication and cell repair processes can be reached. In this case, even massive losses of body fluids accompanied by dehydration of the patient, which are complications that worsen the clinical picture, must be avoided. In the case of bedsores, the compression of the tissue prevents their normal physiology and causes necrosis over time. In this case, it is important to associate the local administration of factors that stimulate tissue regrowth and maintain its optimal hydration state.
[0005] Current techniques for assisting wound healing essentially consist of covering the wound itself with a bandage, which often requires replacement for both preventing bacterial contamination and for the periodic addition of contaminants, as well as drugs, disinfectants, and antibiotics. However, the use of bandages has the drawback of often being difficult and painful for the patient and having to be removed, which causes pain and, in some cases, exacerbates irritation and patient injury. In the case of bedsores, adhesion to the sheets or clothing can cause serious problems for similar reasons, and the application of creams has to be repeated very frequently when mechanically removed from the bandage.
[0006] Generally, in order to effectively treat a wound, it is first necessary to form an efficient barrier from the outside to maintain the humidity of the tissue, avoid excessive loss of fluid, and enable the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the generation of the bacteriostatic and bioadhesive effects of the barrier to prevent the invasion of bacteria and the continuous and sustained release of disinfectants, anti-inflammatory agents, antibiotics and / or factors that stimulate tissue regrowth or coagulation factors is a basic condition for maintaining a state suitable for the healing of the same lesion. Another requirement is to have a barrier with good mechanical and elastic characteristics that can accommodate sensors and indicators for detecting the wound healing state or the onset of infection inside. It lies in having a barrier with good mechanical and elastic characteristics.
[0007] Finally, a further feature in the treatment of skin lesions is to form a non-sticky outer surface, a barrier with high resistance and good durability that can be easily removed. To overcome these and other drawbacks of currently marketed products, the inventors have provided a combination product for clinical use in dermatology, surgery and cardiac surgery, which is characterized by forming a stable elastic film with gas permeability and breathability in situ on the living body.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for dermatological use that can avoid tissue dehydration, accommodate body fluids, and can be easily removed by simple washing with water.
[0009] A more specific object is to provide a bioadhesive system for dermatological use that can release active ingredient molecules that can exert local or systemic effects in human or animal organisms over time. In particular, the object of the present invention is, strictly speaking, to release pharmacologically active substances such as disinfectants, anti-inflammatory agents, regrowth factors, coagulation factors, antibiotics, etc.
[0010] Other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of its embodiments provided as non-limiting examples below.
Summary of the Invention
[0011] This patent application for an industrial invention discloses and claims a two-component composition that forms a bioadhesive system for the treatment of skin lesions, as well as wounds, burns, bedsores, ulcers, etc., consisting of a first component in the form of an aqueous gel called a base gel and a second component called a cross-linking component in the form of physiological saline.
[0012] More specifically, the first component consists of a biocompatible polymer, a polyacid or its salt, as well as at least one disinfectant and one or more pharmacologically active substances, and a mixture of disinfectants, anti-inflammatory agents, proliferation factors, coagulation factors, and antibiotics for dermatological use in an aqueous solution. On the other hand, the second component consists of an aqueous solution of a salt of a divalent, trivalent, or polyvalent cation.
[0013] Regarding the clinical use of the two-component composition of the present invention, this includes its prophylactic application to the skin of patients requiring asepsis, as well as protection against bacterial infections from dirt fragments and / or injuries, and thus it must be reported that it evenly covers and conforms to the shape and affected body part. Only then is the second component in the form of an aqueous solution sprayed onto the aqueous gel present in a fluid viscous state, inducing the in vivo formation of the rubber-like film of the present invention. Once formed, the film of the present invention has a porosity of less than 10 microns, forms a barrier preventing the passage of bacteria and spores, allows the passage of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor, enables its transpiration while retaining moisture, has a shear modulus of more than 1,000,000 Newtons per square meter, and an elongation at break of more than 100%.
[0014] This solution according to the present invention constitutes an optimal compromise in that the rubber-like gel film can advantageously perform various functions.
[0015] The polymer adhesion process actually involves the formation of close contact between the surface of the lesion and the polymer chains of the bioadhesive system, particularly the dehydration of the mucosal surface or the exposed skin surface, followed by the formation of cross-linked secondary chemical bonds and hydrogen bonds between these two surfaces.
[0016] First of all, this situation, in combination with the bioadhesive action in the application area, forms a protective and bacteriostatic barrier action that prevents the infiltration of bacteria and dirt fragments.
[0017] For all of this, the mucoadhesion process enables the carried drug to remain in close contact with the action site or absorption site for a long time, resulting in an improvement in the pharmacokinetic profile of the active substance, and as a result, higher efficacy of the treatment and a reduction in the possibility of side effects.
[0018] It should also be emphasized that this inventive means of forming a film enables the film to fully conform to any body part and to perform its function easily and continuously.
[0019] Furthermore, the presence of polyvinyl alcohol imparts elasticity, rubber-like solidity (having strong resistance to elongation and stress), and adhesive properties to the resulting film, which enables the sealing action at the intervention site and protection from bacterial invasion, enables resistance to large stresses, and also exhibits anti-adhesive properties against external bandages.
[0020] A further basic aspect according to the invention runs parallel to all the technical solutions described so far and starts from the fact that, particularly in relation to the implementation of the invention, the wound environment is dynamic and the healing rate can be improved by administering the therapeutic agent at the appropriate time. Therefore, this approach requires real-time monitoring of the wound environment, which can always be related to the bioadhesive action of the film. In fact, as can be seen in the detailed description, the two-component composition functions as an actual support for the sensors and chemical indicators, enabling real-time monitoring of the wound state and an appropriate response at that specific moment.
[0021] Other features of the invention are described in the following detailed description of one or more specific embodiments thereof, which are protected by various dependent claims.

[0037] However, heretofore, when a pharmaceutically active substance was included among the components in the first component, this has been considered, but this should not be regarded as limiting for the present invention since, in particular for assisting the tissue regeneration process, the treatment system of the present invention can also contain substances for cosmetic, nutraceutical use and micronutrients. Thus, the field of application of the release system of the present invention is the medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical-cosmetic (cosmetics for therapeutic purposes) as well as nutraceutical fields.

Furthermore, in light of the above, in the composition of the first component of the present invention, the presence of a fluorescent substance selected from the group comprising green fluorescent protein (GFP), fluorescein, dichlorofluorescein, Dylight Fluor, or a combination thereof, for detecting bacterial strains is provided.
[0039] Another feature within the scope of the concepts described above is that the system of the present invention provides for the presence of a colorimetric indicator of the state of a skin lesion for indicating pH value, redox characteristics, salinity, redox activity, and dissolved gas within the composition of the first component, and such indicators are bromothymol blue, thymol blue, methyl violet, basic violet 3, methyl yellow, methyl orange, bromophenol blue, bromocresol green, methyl red, phenol red, cresol red, 1-naphthol phthalein, phenolphthalein, thymolphthalein, bromocresol violet, trinitrotoluene, ferroin, N-phenylanthranilic acid, naphthyl black, 2,2'-bipyridine (complex with Ru), nitrophenanthroline (complex with Fe), N-phenylanthranilic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline (complex with Fe), N-ethoxychrysoidine, 2,2'-(complex with Fe), 5,6-dimethylphenanthroline (complex with Fe), o-dianisidine, sodium diphenylamine sulfonate, diphenylbenzidine, diphenylamine, viologen, 2,6-dibromophenol-indophenol, o-cresol-indophenol, thionin (or "lauth's violet"), methylene blue, indigotetrasulfonic acid, indigotrisulfonic acid, carmine indigo (indigosulfonic acid), indigomonosulfonic acid, phenosafraninic acid, safranin T, basic red 5, or any combination thereof.
