Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble pour le conditionnement et l'administration d'une solution ophtalmique. The present invention relates to an assembly for the packaging and administration of an ophthalmic solution.
On connaît, pour le nettoyage de la région péri-oculaire, des serviettes imprégnées d'une solution ophtalmique appropriée et contenues dans un sachet. Le certificat d'utilité français 74-02504 gpublication
FR-A-2 258 868) décrit un tel type de compresses.Known for cleaning the periocular region, towels impregnated with an appropriate ophthalmic solution and contained in a sachet. French utility certificate 74-02504 gpublication
FR-A-2 258 868) describes such a type of compresses.
L'inconvénient de ce produit résulte dans le risque de contamination microbiologique lors de la manipulation par le patient. Pour limiter ce risque, il est alors nécessaire d'introduire un conservateur anti-microbien, ayant toujours une certaine toxicité cornéenne. The disadvantage of this product results in the risk of microbiological contamination during handling by the patient. To limit this risk, it is then necessary to introduce an anti-microbial preservative, always having a certain corneal toxicity.
L'invention se propose de résoudre cette difficulté, grâce à un ensemble comprenant . une éponge imbibée d'une solution ophtalmique, com
portant une membrane imperméable à sa surface externe
ou au voisinage de celle-ci ; . un récipient de forme générale aplatie et de conte
nance sensiblement égale au volume de l'éponge, qu'il
renferme, ce récipient étant obturé à sa partie supé
rieure par une pellicule arrachable ou pelable dont
le retrait permet l'accès à l'éponge du coté de sa
membrane imperméable, ce récipient étant par ailleurs
élastiquement déformable pour permettre une com
pression de 1'éponge autorisant un gouttage de la
solution par une région découverte du récipient, la
pellicule n'étant dans ce cas arrachée ou pelée que
sur une faible surface.The invention proposes to solve this difficulty, thanks to a set comprising. a sponge soaked in an ophthalmic solution, com
having a waterproof membrane on its outer surface
or in the vicinity thereof; . a container of generally flattened and tale shape
substantially equal to the volume of the sponge, which it
contains, this container being closed at its upper part
laughing with peelable or peelable film
removal allows access to the sponge on the side of its
waterproof membrane, this container also being
elastically deformable to allow a com
pressure of the sponge allowing a dripping of the
solution by an uncovered region of the container, the
film in this case being torn off or peeled only
over a small area.
De la sorte, grâce à la membrane imperméable qui se situe sur la surface externe de lléponge ou au voisinage de cette surface, on élimine les risques de contamination, par les doigts de l'utilisateur, de la partie de l'éponge qui vient au contact de l'oeil. In this way, thanks to the impermeable membrane which is located on the external surface of the sponge or in the vicinity of this surface, the risk of contamination, by the fingers of the user, of the part of the sponge which comes into contact with it is eliminated. eye contact.
Il devient donc possible d'imprégner l'éponge d'une solution ophtalmique stérile et ne contenant pas de conservateur anti-microbien, ce qui élimine tous les problèmes d'intolérance oculaire généralement rencontrés avec ce type de produit. It therefore becomes possible to impregnate the sponge with a sterile ophthalmic solution and containing no antimicrobial preservative, which eliminates all the problems of ocular intolerance generally encountered with this type of product.
La structure du récipient permet par ailleurs d'utiliser l'éponge comme réservoir d'une solution pour l'irrigation de l'oeil, par administration goutte à goutte. The structure of the container also makes it possible to use the sponge as a reservoir for a solution for the irrigation of the eye, by administration drop by drop.
De préférence, le récipient comporte une zone élastiquement déformable en forme de saillie ou de rétreint périphérique. Preferably, the container has an elastically deformable zone in the form of a projection or peripheral constriction.
De préférence, le récipient comporte un bec verseur pour le gouttage de la solution. Preferably, the container has a pouring spout for dripping the solution.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaitront à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-dessous, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels
la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe de l'ensemble selon l'invention,
la figure 2 est une vue perspective de ce même ensemble, la pellicule d'obturation étant partiellement retirée.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description below, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 represents a sectional view of the assembly according to the invention,
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the same assembly, the sealing film being partially removed.
Sur les figures, la référence 1D désigne l'éponge, qui a par exemple une forme de disque aplati pour faciliter sa préhension par l'utilisateur et son utilisation pour le nettoyage de la région oculaire ou péri-oculaire par la partie inférieure il de l'éponge, qui est imbibée d'une solution ophtalmique stérile appropriée, de préférence sans conservateur. In the figures, the reference 1D designates the sponge, which for example has the shape of a flattened disc to facilitate its gripping by the user and its use for cleaning the ocular or peri-ocular region by the lower part il of the 'sponge, which is soaked in a suitable sterile ophthalmic solution, preferably without preservative.
Une membrane imperméable 12 isole la partie inférieure 11, qui viendra en contact avec la région oculaire, de la partie supérieure 13 qui servira à la préhension par l'utilisateur ; en variante, cette membrane imperméable peut être prévue directement à la surface supérieure de lléponge. An impermeable membrane 12 isolates the lower part 11, which will come into contact with the ocular region, from the upper part 13 which will be used for gripping by the user; alternatively, this waterproof membrane can be provided directly on the upper surface of the sponge.
Avantageusement dans llun ou l'autre cas, la membrane peut s'étendre également sur la surface latérale de l'éponge, ce qui réduit encore les risques de contamination par les doigts de l'utilisa- teur. Advantageously in one or the other case, the membrane can also extend over the lateral surface of the sponge, which further reduces the risks of contamination by the fingers of the user.
Le récipient 20 a une forme générale intérieure identique à celle de l'éponge, et sa contenance est sensiblement égale au volume de celle-ci
En l'absence de sollicitation extérieure, l'éponge est enfermée sans compression dans le réci- pient.The container 20 has a general interior shape identical to that of the sponge, and its capacity is substantially equal to the volume thereof.
In the absence of external stress, the sponge is enclosed without compression in the container.
Le récipient est obturé par une pellicule pelable ou arrachable 30 dont l'enlèvement complet libèrera l'accès à l'éponge du coté de sa membrane imperméable. The container is closed by a peelable or peelable film 30, the complete removal of which will free access to the sponge from the side of its waterproof membrane.
Ce récipient est par ailleurs déformable ; cette déformabilité peut résulter du matériau constituant le récipient, mais peut être accentuée par exemple grâce à une zone 21 élastiquement déformable en forme de saillie ou de rétreint périhhérlgae. This container is also deformable; this deformability can result from the material constituting the container, but can be accentuated for example by virtue of an elastically deformable zone 21 in the form of a projection or periherlgae constriction.
De la sortie, une pression exercée entre la face supérieure (la pellicule restée partiellement en place) et inférieure lle fond du récipient3 entre les doigts de l'utilisateur va écraser le récipient de sorte que son volume intérieur va devenir inférieur à celui de l'éponge ; cette dernière va donc être comprimée, ce qui va permettre d'exprimer la solution qu'elle contient, qui pourra par exemple s'écouler par un bec verseur 22 pour permettre l'irrigation de l'oeil. From the outlet, a pressure exerted between the upper face (the film remains partially in place) and lower lthe bottom of the container3 between the fingers of the user will crush the container so that its internal volume will become less than that of the sponge; the latter will therefore be compressed, which will make it possible to express the solution which it contains, which may for example flow through a pouring spout 22 to allow the irrigation of the eye.
Comme on peut le constater, ce condi*isnne- ment permet deux utilisations distinctes. As can be seen, this condition allows two distinct uses.
Une première utilisation consiste en an usage direct par libération du bec verseur 22, l'utilisateur n'ouvrant la pellicule pelable flèche A) qu'au voisinage du bec, et libérant le contenu de l'éponge en exerçant une simple pression manuelle (flèches B). Dans cet usage, les gouttes sont directement instillées dans l'oeil ouvert. A first use consists in direct use by release of the pouring spout 22, the user only opening the peelable film arrow A) in the vicinity of the spout, and releasing the contents of the sponge by exerting a simple manual pressure (arrows B). In this use, the drops are directly instilled in the open eye.
Dans une seconde utilisation indirecte, l'éponge pré-imbibée est libérée par enlèvement total de la pellicule pelable, pour permettre une application sur la surface externe de la cavité oculaire1 l'oeil étant alors en position fermée. Dans ce cas, grâce à la membrane 12, tout risque de souillure par les doigts de l'utilisateur est évité. In a second indirect use, the pre-soaked sponge is released by total removal of the peelable film, to allow application to the external surface of the eye cavity1 the eye then being in the closed position. In this case, thanks to the membrane 12, any risk of contamination by the user's fingers is avoided.
