DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0041] In the present application, it will be appreciated that term including, having, or comprising is intended to indicate the presence of characteristics, numbers, steps, constituent elements, and components described in the specification or a combination thereof, and does not pre-exclude a possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other characteristics, numbers, steps, operations, constituent elements, and components, or a combination thereof.

[0042] Hereinafter, a medical dressing patch according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, like reference numerals indicate like constituent elements, and a duplicated description of like constituent elements will be omitted.

[0043] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a medical dressing patch according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the medical dressing patch illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0044] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a medical dressing patch 1000 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a release paper 200 and an adhesive sheet 100.

[0045] The release paper 200 will be specifically described first. The release paper 200 includes a fixing release paper 210 which is to be separated from the adhesive sheet 100, and a separation release paper 220 which is to be separated together with the adhesive sheet 100, and a smooth coating layer may be formed on at least one surface of the release paper 200.

[0046] Cut-out portions 211, which have a shape identical to an external shape of the separation release paper 220, are provided in the fixing release paper 210, such that the separation release paper 220 is easily separated from the fixing release paper 210 when the adhesive sheet 100 is used, and at normal times, a state in which the separation release paper 220 and the fixing release paper 210 are connected to each other by connecting portions 212 formed in the cut-out portions 211 is maintained.

[0047] Here, one or more first identification portions 213, which are selected from words, patterns, and figures, may be provided at a predetermined position of the fixing release paper 210.

[0048] In the present disclosure, a part of a lower surface of the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to the separation release paper 220, and the remaining part of the lower surface of the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to the fixing release paper 210. Therefore, when a user separates the separation release paper 220 in order to use the adhesive sheet 100, the user needs to draw the separation release paper 220 toward a portion, where the adhesive sheet 100 is attached, in order to separate the separation release paper 220 in a state in which the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to the separation release paper 220. If the user draws the separation release paper 220 in the opposite direction, only the separation release paper 220 is separated from the adhesive sheet 100, such that it may be difficult to use the adhesive sheet 100.

[0049] In particular, recently, the release paper and the adhesive sheet, which constitute the dressing patch, have high transparency, and as a result, in many instances, it is difficult for the user to easily recognize which surface of the separation release paper 220 the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to. Moreover, in a case in which the user has poor eyesight, it is very much difficult for the user to recognize where the adhesive sheet 100 is attached.

[0050] Therefore, in the present disclosure, the first identification portion 213 such as words, patterns, and figures is formed on the fixing release paper 210, thereby allowing the user to easily recognize which direction the user needs to draw the separation release paper 220.

[0051] As described above, the separation release paper 220 is fixed to the fixing release paper 210 through the cut-out portions 211 and the connecting portions 212 formed on the fixing release paper 210, and a part of the separation release paper 220 is positioned to overlap the lower surface of the adhesive sheet 100 so that the separation release paper 220 may be separated together with the adhesive sheet 100 when the adhesive sheet 100 is separated from the fixing release paper 210.

[0052] In addition, the separation release paper 220 includes two circular portions spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval, and depressed portions 221 having a predetermined radius of curvature may be formed between the circular portions so that the separation release paper 220 may be easily separated when the separation release paper 220 is separated. Specifically, a width W formed by the depressed portions 221 is smaller than a diameter A or A of each of the two circular portions. With this shape, the user may hold the circular portion having a large area by hand, such that the user may easily hold the separation release paper 220, and the user may softly draw the separation release paper 220 because the depressed portions 221 having a relatively small width W are provided.

[0053] Moreover, a center point of the adhesive sheet 100 and center points of the two circular portions, which constitute the separation release paper 220, may be disposed to be positioned on an imaginary extension line. The reason is to take the separation release paper 220 off the fixing release paper 210 in a state in which the adhesive sheet 100 is not twisted or biased toward any one side when the separation release paper 220 is separated from the fixing release paper 210.

[0054] Meanwhile, a second identification portion 222 and/or a third identification portion may be formed at a predetermined position of the separation release paper 220.

[0055] Specifically, the second identification portion 222 performs the same function as the first identification portion 213 that allows the user to easily recognize which surface of the separation release paper 220 the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to as described above, and the second identification portion 222 helps the user to easily and visually recognize which part the user needs to hold.

[0056] In particular, the second identification portion 222 serves to prevent the situation in which the user cannot quickly use the adhesive sheet 100 because it is very difficult for the user to recognize, with the naked eye, which part of the release paper 200 the separation release paper 220 is positioned at in a case in which the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 are made of the same transparent material.

[0057] Here, the second identification portion 222 may be one or more items selected from patterns, words, and figures, and as an example, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a band may be formed along the cut-out portion 211 at a predetermined position of an inner surface of the separation release paper 220.

[0058] The third identification portion 223 performs the same function as the first identification portion 213 that allows the user to easily recognize which surface of the separation release paper 220 the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to as described above, and the third identification portion 223 helps the user to easily and tactilely recognize which part the user needs to hold.

[0059] That is, the third identification portion 223 serves to prevent the situation in which the user cannot quickly use the adhesive sheet 100 because it is difficult for the user to recognize, with the naked eye, which part of the release paper 200 the separation release paper 220 is positioned at.

[0060] Here, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the third identification portion 223 may be configured by one or more protrusions positioned at a predetermined position at an inner upper side of the separation release paper 220 which is adjacent to the cut-out portion 211.

[0061] Meanwhile, the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 may be transparent or opaque by being made of a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate PET or polyethylene PE, and may have a thickness of 20 to 300 m so as to have predetermined restoring force so that the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 may be quickly restored to the original position even in a case in which the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 are bent. If the thickness is below 20 m, the thickness is too small, such that restoring force is insufficient. If the thickness is above 300 m, the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 are not bent well, such that the separation release paper 220 is not easily separated. Accordingly, the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220 may have the aforementioned thickness.

[0062] In addition, the two connecting portions 212 may be formed in the cut-out portions 211 at an outer circumferential edge portion of one circular portion, which does not overlap the adhesive sheet 100, so as to allow the separation release paper 220 to be easily separated and prevent the separation release paper 220 from coming off the fixing release paper 210.

[0063] Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the two connecting portions 212 may be provided to face each other at a position perpendicularly intersecting the imaginary extension line that runs through the center points of the two circular portions of the separation release paper 220 and the center point of the adhesive sheet 100. One circular portion of the separation release paper 220 is positioned under the adhesive sheet 100 and fixed by the adhesive sheet 100, and the other circular portion of the separation release paper 220 is fixed by the two connecting portions 212, and as a result, it is possible to not only quickly separate the separation release paper 220, but also prevent the separation release paper 220 from coming off the fixing release paper 210 in the vicinity of the cut-out portion 211 by restoring force of the fixing release paper 210 and the separation release paper 220.

[0064] Next, between the two circular portions of the separation release paper 220, the circular portion on which the identification portions 213, 222, and 223 are formed may have a larger cross-sectional area than the circular portion which is in contact with the lower surface of the adhesive sheet 100. The reason is to allow the user to easily hold the separation release paper 220 and to easily separate the separation release paper 220 after the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to the skin.

[0065] Moreover, an area of the circular portion of the separation release paper 220, which is attached to the adhesive sheet 100, may be 10% to 50%, more particularly, 20% to 40% of an overall area of the adhesive sheet 100. If the circular portion of the separation release paper 220 is attached to the adhesive sheet 100 with an area below 10%, the adhesive force is too low, such that the adhesive sheet 100 may not be separated together with the separation release paper 220 when the separation release paper 220 is separated. On the contrary, if the circular portion of the separation release paper 220 is attached to the adhesive sheet 100 with an area above 50%, the adhesive force is too high, such that the separation release paper 220 is not separated well from the adhesive sheet 100 after the adhesive sheet 100 is attached to the skin. Accordingly, the separation release paper 220 and the adhesive sheet 100 may be attached to each other within the aforementioned range.

[0066] Meanwhile, the adhesive sheet 100 may be a hydrocolloid adhesive sheet, or a polyurethane foam adhesive sheet, the hydrocolloid adhesive sheet has a form in which hydrophilic hydrocolloid polymers are dispersed on a hydrophobic rubber matrix attachment surface having adhesion, and the polyurethane foam adhesive sheet has a form in which polymers such as polyethylene glycol, isocyanate, catalysts, and water are mixed and dispersed on a hydrophobic urethane attachment surface having adhesion. Because the hydrocolloid adhesive sheet or the polyurethane foam adhesive sheet is a sheet which is widely used because this sheet has an ability to protect a wound based on hygroscopicity and wet environment maintenance and has excellent adhesion, a more specific description thereof will be omitted.

[0067] Hereinafter, a medical dressing patch according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

[0068] The second exemplary embodiment is identical to the first exemplary embodiment, which is described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, except for the number of adhesive sheets 100, the number of separation release papers 220, and an arrangement structure of the adhesive sheets 100 and the separation release papers 220. Therefore, like reference numerals indicate like constituent elements, and a repeated description of like constituent elements will be omitted.

[0069] The second exemplary embodiment includes a single sheet of release paper 200 and a plurality of adhesive sheets 100.

[0070] As an example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a total of fifteen adhesive sheets 100 may be provided on an upper surface of the single release paper 200 having predetermined width and area, in which three adhesive sheets 100 are disposed in each row, and five adhesive sheets 100 are disposed in each column perpendicular to the row. In addition, the aforementioned separation release paper 220 is provided on the bottom surface of each of the adhesive sheets 100.

[0071] Here, the separation release papers 220 may be disposed to be inclined at a predetermined angle so that more adhesive sheets 100 may be attached per unit area of the release paper 200. Specifically, assuming that the row in which the three adhesive sheets 100 are provided is a horizontal row and the column in which the five adhesive sheets 100 are provided is a vertical column, the separation release paper 220 is disposed to be inclined at 40 to 50 with respect to the horizontal row and the vertical column, and as a result, it is possible to maximize an utilization area of the fixing release paper 210.

[0072] Hereinafter, a method and an apparatus for manufacturing the medical dressing patch described in the second exemplary embodiment (FIG. 3) of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

[0073] FIG. 4 is a process diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a medical dressing patch according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of separation release paper forming units, FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of adhesive sheet cutting units, FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of release paper cutting units, and FIG. 8 is a flow diagram illustrating states of the dressing patch at respective process steps.

[0074] A method of manufacturing the medical dressing patch according to the present disclosure includes a step of supplying the release paper 200, a step of forming the separation release paper 220, a step of bonding the adhesive sheet 100 to the release paper 200 and collecting an adhesive sheet protective film 100, a step of forming a bevel ring having a predetermined shape on the adhesive sheet 100, a step of cutting the adhesive sheet 100 to a predetermined shape and collecting the remaining waste adhesive sheet, a step of cutting the release paper 200 to a predetermined size, a step of overlapping the release paper 200 and a wrapper, a step of bonding the wrapper, a step of cutting the wrapper, and a step of conveying a finished product.

[0075] In more detail, first, the release paper 200 is supplied via release paper supply rollers 310 from an elongated roll-shaped release paper supply bobbin 300 around which the release paper 200 is wound.

[0076] Next, the supplied release paper 200 is moved to a separation release paper forming unit 320, and a shape of the separation release paper 220, specifically, the separation release paper 220, which may be formed in a shape in which the two circular portions are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval and connected to each other so as to form the depressed portions 221, is formed (see FIG. 8A).

[0077] Here, in the separation release paper forming unit 320, a first separation release paper forming die 321, which is fixed or moved upward and downward, may be positioned below the moving release paper 200, and a second separation release paper forming die 322, which is moved upward and downward, may be positioned above the release paper 200. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the separation release paper 220, are provided on a bottom surface of the second separation release paper forming die 322.

[0078] FIG. 5B illustrates a modified exemplary embodiment of the separation release paper forming unit 320 which may include a pair of rotating first and second separation release paper forming rollers 323 and 324, and similar to the second separation release paper forming die 322, blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the separation release paper 220, are provided on one outer surface of the first and second separation release paper forming rollers 323 and 324. In a case in which the separation release paper 220 is formed by the pair of rotating first and second separation release paper forming rollers 323 and 324, the separation release paper 220 may be continuously formed and a supply rate of the release paper 200 may be increased, thereby improving productivity. Moreover, there is also an advantage in that work environment is improved because noise is reduced in comparison with the case in which the separation release paper 220 is formed by moving the second separation release paper forming die 322 upward and downward.

[0079] Meanwhile, the step of forming the separation release paper 220 may provide the first identification portion 213 formed on the fixing release paper 210, and the second and third identification portions 222 and 223 formed on the separation release paper 220. The first to third identification portions 213, 222, and 223 may be formed through a separate step.

[0080] Next, the adhesive sheet 100 is bonded to an upper surface of the release paper 200 on which the separation release paper 220 is formed. Specifically, the adhesive sheet 100 is supplied via adhesive sheet supply rollers 420 from an adhesive sheet supply bobbin 400 around which the adhesive sheet 100, which has one surface to which an adhesive sheet protective film 100 is attached, is wound, such that the adhesive sheet 100 is bonded to the release paper 200 (see FIG. 8B), and the adhesive sheet protective film 100 is collected again to an adhesive sheet protective film collecting bobbin 410.

[0081] Next, the bevel ring forming step of forming a bevel ring, specifically, forming a bevel ring so that a central portion of the adhesive sheet 100 is convexly formed to correspond to a shape of the dressing patch, and a gently inclined surface is formed at an edge of the central portion so as to have a thickness smaller than a thickness of the central portion is subsequently performed (see FIG. 8C).

[0082] Here, in the bevel ring forming step, a first bevel ring forming die 431, which is fixed or moved upward and downward, may be positioned below the release paper 200, and a second bevel ring forming die 432, which is moved upward and downward, may be positioned above the adhesive sheet 100.

[0083] Next, the adhesive sheet 100 is cut to a predetermined shape so that a predetermined region of the adhesive sheet 100 overlaps the separation release paper 220 (see FIG. 8D), and the remaining waste adhesive sheet is collected to an adhesive sheet scrap collecting bobbin 450.

[0084] Here, in an adhesive sheet cutting unit 440, a first adhesive sheet cutting die 441, which is fixed or moved upward and downward, may be positioned below the moving release paper 200, and a second adhesive sheet cutting die 442, which is moved upward and downward, may be positioned above the adhesive sheet 100. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the dressing patch, are provided on a bottom surface of the second adhesive sheet cutting die 442.

[0085] FIG. 6B illustrates a modified exemplary embodiment of the adhesive sheet cutting unit 440 which may include a pair of rotating first and second adhesive sheet cutting rollers 443 and 444, and similar to the second adhesive sheet cutting die 442, blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the dressing patch, are provided on one outer surface of the first and second adhesive sheet cutting rollers 443 and 444. In a case in which the adhesive sheet 100 is cut by the pair of rotating first and second adhesive sheet cutting rollers 443 and 444, the adhesive sheet 100 may be continuously formed and a supply rate of the release paper 200 may be increased, thereby improving productivity. Moreover, there is also an advantage in that work environment is improved because noise is reduced in comparison with the case in which the adhesive sheet is formed by moving the second adhesive sheet cutting die 442 upward and downward.

[0086] Here, a height of the blade provided on the second adhesive sheet cutting die 442 and a height of the blade provided on the second adhesive sheet cutting roller 444 are set to cut only the adhesive sheet without cutting the fixing release paper 210.

[0087] Meanwhile, the bevel ring forming step may be omitted as necessary, and the step of forming the bevel ring and the step of cutting the adhesive sheet 100 may be simultaneously performed.

[0088] Next, as described above, the adhesive sheet 100 is cut corresponding to a shape of the dressing patch, and the release paper 200 is cut to a predetermined size in a state in which a predetermined region of the adhesive sheet 100 overlaps the separation release paper 220 (see FIG. 8E).

[0089] Here, in a release paper cutting unit 460, a first release paper cutting die 461, which is fixed or moved upward and downward, may be positioned below the moving release paper 200, and a second release paper cutting die 462, which is moved upward and downward, may be positioned above the release paper 200. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 7A, blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the release paper 220 to be cut, are provided on a bottom surface of the second release paper cutting die 462.

[0090] FIG. 7B illustrates a modified exemplary embodiment of the release paper cutting unit 460 which may include a pair of rotating first and second release paper cutting rollers 463 and 464, and blades, each of which has a shape corresponding to a shape of the release paper 220 to be cut, are provided on one outer surface of the first and second release paper cutting rollers 463 and 464. In a case in which the release paper 220 is cut by the pair of rotating first and second release paper cutting rollers 463 and 464, the release paper 220 may be continuously formed and a supply rate of the release paper 200 may be increased, thereby improving productivity. Moreover, there is also an advantage in that work environment is improved because noise is reduced in comparison with the case in which the release paper is formed by moving the second release paper cutting die 462 upward and downward.

[0091] Next, a step of wrapping the cut release paper is performed. Specifically, a wrapper is supplied to an upper portion of the release paper 200 from an upper wrapper supply bobbin 500, a wrapper is supplied to a lower portion of the release paper 200 from a lower wrapper supply bobbin 510, the wrappers are bonded to the upper and lower portions of the release paper 200 in a state in which the wrappers overlap the upper and lower portions of the release paper 200 (see FIG. 8F), and next, the wrappers are cut along circumferential edge portions of the bonded wrappers (see FIG. 8F).

[0092] Here, a method of bonding the wrappers is not particularly limited as long as the wrappers may be bonded by a method such as publicly known thermal bonding.

[0093] In addition, although not illustrated in the drawings, the bonded and finished product is conveyed by a conveying means such as a conveyor, and then a separate wrapping step may be further performed.

[0094] A method of using the medical dressing patch according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

[0095] As illustrated in FIG. 9, first, to separate the adhesive sheet 100 attached to one surface of the release paper 200, the user checks whether the adhesive sheet 100 exists on the upper surface of the release paper 200 by recognizing any one of the first identification portion 213, the second identification portion 222, and the third identification portion 223. Next, the user draws the separation release paper 220 upward or draws the fixing release paper 210 downward, and takes the separation release paper 220 off the upper surface of the fixing release paper 210 while holding a predetermined portion of the separation release paper 220 separated along a cut-out line. Then, the adhesive sheet 100, to which a predetermined portion of the separation release paper 220 is attached, is separated together.

[0096] Next, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the user attaches the adhesive sheet 100 to a wound site while holding the separation release paper 220, and takes the separation release paper 220 off the adhesive sheet 100.

[0097] Although the specific parts of the present disclosure have been described in detail, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such a specific description is just a preferred embodiment and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereby, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various alterations and modifications are possible within the scope and technical spirit of the present disclosure, and it is natural that such alterations and modifications also fall within the accompanying claims.
