Description

  The present invention relates to a forming treatment thread, and particularly to a forming treatment thread suitable for a treatment for removing sagging skin or wrinkles.

  Conventionally, there are various types of plastic surgery, such as tightening the skin such as the face, chest, and buttocks and removing sagging skin or wrinkles (hereinafter also referred to as “wrinkles”). . In such treatment, a thread for forming treatment is used, and the skin or meat of the desired part is pulled up by removing the wrinkles and the like by piercing the thread through the desired part and then pulling up the thread. Is given.

  As the yarn for forming treatment, not only the yarn for surgical operation made of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon is used as it is, but also the yarn for forming treatment having a specific shape is used. As this specific shape, for example, as in the case of the forming treatment thread 2 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the thread main body 2a is formed such that the triangular barbs 2b and 2b form a pair. Shape.

  However, since the yarn 2 formed with the triangular barbs 2b and 2b as described above has high rigidity and is difficult to be deformed, it is necessary when the yarn is pulled in the direction of the arrow D after the yarn is inserted into the treatment site. There was a risk that the meat 4 would be dragged.

  On the other hand, a normal forming treatment thread in which the barb 2b or the like is not formed has a small inflammatory reaction at the treatment site, so that the amount of collagen produced is small, and the water retention effect and the strength of the skin due to collagen are sufficient I couldn't show it. Further, in these conventional normal forming treatment yarns, once the yarn is pulled out, the effect of removing sagging, wrinkles and the like gradually fades and may hang down again.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a forming treatment thread that can effectively remove skin sagging or wrinkles even after the forming operation and can actively generate collagen.

  The forming surgical thread of the present invention is formed on the outer peripheral surface of a linearly extending thread body at a predetermined interval so that a plurality of short returning threads draw a substantially radial circle, and these returning threads It is characterized in that the film body is integrally disposed so as to surround

Here, it is preferable that the return yarn is disposed in a posture inclined with respect to the yarn body, and the inclination angle α is in a range of 10 ° to 45 °.
In the case of the forming surgical thread having such a configuration, when the thread main body is pulled up, the substantially cylindrical film body spreads like an umbrella around the short return thread. You can pull meat, candy, etc. with your body. In particular, in the vicinity where a short return thread is provided, an inflammatory reaction occurs in the human body, and collagen is formed in an attempt to repair it. In addition, the molding of this collagen is more on the side where the short return yarn extends, and less on the side where the return yarn does not exist. Further, immediately next to the portion where the short thread is provided, stimulation is applied, and a fiber structure (connective tissue) is formed by the regenerative force of the human body. Due to the presence of this fiber structure, even after the yarn has been pulled out, the fiber structure can serve as a substitute for the forming treatment thread, and the mass of meat can be pulled up. Therefore, the effect of pulling up meat and straw can be maintained.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that amino acids and / or cytokines are applied or infiltrated into the yarn body and the return yarn.

  According to the forming surgical thread of the present invention, when the thread is pulled up at the desired surgical site, the substantially cylindrical film body radially spreads outside the return thread, so that the meat, Raise etc. In particular, in the vicinity where a short return thread is provided, an inflammatory reaction occurs in the human body, and collagen is formed in an attempt to repair it. This collagen can produce a water retention effect and skin strength.

  Further, immediately next to the portion where the short thread is provided, a stimulus is applied, and a fiber structure (connective tissue) is formed by the regenerative force of the human body. Even so, the fibrous structure can be used as a substitute for the forming treatment thread. Thereby, even after the yarn has been pulled out or after the yarn has disappeared, the lump of meat, cocoon, etc. can be pulled up by the fiber structure formed in the human body. Therefore, the effect of pulling up meat, salmon, etc. can be sustained.

  Furthermore, by forming a thread for forming treatment in which specific amino acids and / or cytokines are applied or infiltrated, the skin at the treatment site can be activated to reduce aging and to provide a cosmetic effect.

Next, the forming surgical thread of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
FIGS. 1 to 3 show a forming surgical thread 10 (hereinafter also referred to as “the surgical thread of the present invention”) 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. Is shown in cross section. The main body 10a of the treatment thread 10 is formed of a stretchable material, and a plurality of short return threads 10b draw a circle approximately radially from the same point on the outer peripheral surface of the thread main body 10a. Is formed. Further, a film-like film body 10c that is flexible and easily deformed is stretched around the return yarn 10b.

  When the surgical thread 10 is viewed from the side, it is visually recognized that umbrella-like members A are provided at predetermined intervals in a natural state. Each return yarn 10b is a short fiber of the same diameter, and may be formed from the same material as the yarn body 10a, or may be formed from other materials. Further, the return yarn 10b is inclined with respect to the yarn body 10a, and the inclination angle α is 10 ° to 45 °, preferably 20 ° to 35 °, as shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. .

  On the other hand, the film body 10c surrounding the outside of the return yarn 10b may be formed of the same material as that of the yarn body 10a, but may be formed of other materials. In short, it may be more flexible and deformable than the return yarn 10b. Therefore, as long as it is flexible and deformable, it may be formed of a thin rubber, a self-disappearing protein, or the like. Further, the returning yarn 10b may also be formed from a self-extinguishing protein or the like.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the yarn main body 10 a provided with the return yarn 10 b is inclined and proceeds inside the meat 4 such as the cheek in the form of the arrow C, these return yarns 10 b are E The film body 10c is similarly deformed in the E direction. Therefore, the resistance to the meat 4 is small.

  On the other hand, when the yarn body 10a advances in the meat 4 in the form of the arrow D, the yarn 10b and the film body 10c move in the direction in which the yarn 10b and the film body 10c spread (the direction opposite to the arrow E). Therefore, according to the surgical thread 10 provided with the barb 10b and the membrane 10c, the thread 10 can be pulled up in the arrow D direction after the surgical site such as a sagging cheek and buttocks is inserted in the arrow C direction. For example, the skin or meat 4 around the thread can be easily pulled in, and wrinkles and the like can be effectively removed.

  Further, if the end portion is fixed by pulling in the direction of arrow D, the membrane body 10c is in an expanded state. Therefore, an inflammatory reaction occurs in the vicinity thereof, and a large amount of collagen is formed in an attempt to repair this. Thereby, the strength of the skin can be increased, or the water retention effect can be exhibited.

  In addition, since a stimulus is applied immediately beside the short return yarn 10b, a fiber structure (connective structure) is formed by the regeneration force of the human body. Then, this fiber structure can be used as a substitute for the forming treatment thread, and it is possible to pull up meat, wrinkles and the like over a long period of time.

  The material of the treatment thread 10 of the present invention is preferably stretchable, but the material is not particularly limited. If a stretchable material is used, the pulling that tends to occur at the treatment site even after the treatment can be reduced. In addition, since the treatment site can be given semi-permanent natural elasticity and flexibility, it maintains a semi-permanent state that does not cause a sense of incongruity due to the formation procedure even if it directly touches the site after the treatment. can do. Furthermore, it is possible to flexibly cope with movement around the treatment site.

The stretchable material is not particularly limited as long as it is suitably used as a medical material.
Specifically, the stretchable material is more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of silicone, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, formalized polyvinyl alcohol, polypropylene, polyurethane, and polytetrafluoroethylene. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, silicone, formalized polyvinyl alcohol, polypropylene, polyurethane, and polytetrafluoroethylene have elasticity and flexibility that more closely approximates normal skin compared to conventional synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon. Therefore, it is particularly suitable.

In addition, formalized polyvinyl alcohol means what formalized polyvinyl alcohol with formalin.
It is desirable that the surgical thread of the present invention is further used by applying or infiltrating amino acids and / or cytokines.

  The amino acid is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of valine, leucine, isoleucine, alanine, arginine, glutamine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, proline, cysteine, glycine, serine and lysine. Or two or more types may be used in combination. By applying or penetrating these amino acids into the surgical thread of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the aging of the treatment site and to impart a cosmetic effect. In addition, the affinity and adhesion of the treatment thread in the human body can be improved.

Specifically, for example, valine, leucine, and isoleucine promote metabolism and function as a kinetic energy source, and also have an effect of increasing muscle strength. Glutamic acid has a moisturizing action and has an effect of giving moisture to the skin. Proline is a major component of collagen that constitutes the skin, and can give the skin firmness. Cysteine has the effect of suppressing the production of melanin contained in the skin.

Cytokines are proteins produced by cells that act on cells that have receptors for them to cause cell proliferation, differentiation, or functional expression.
Specific examples of cytokines include cell growth factors such as interleukins, refokines, chemokines, interferons, FGF or EGF, hematopoietic factors, cell growth factors, cytotoxic factors, adipokines, or neurotrophic factors. . These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. By applying or penetrating these cytokines to the surgical thread of the present invention, cell proliferation, differentiation or functional expression at the treatment site can be brought about, and aging can be reduced and a cosmetic effect can be imparted.

  These amino acids and cytokines may be used alone or in combination of amino acids and cytokines. These may be applied directly to the treatment thread of the present invention during the treatment, or may be used after sufficiently penetrating into the treatment thread of the present invention before the treatment. Thereby, in the skin inner layer, a specific amino acid can be absorbed through a part in contact with the treatment thread, and it is possible to provide not only removal of wrinkles and the like at a predetermined part but also a cosmetic effect and the like. .

  The treatment yarn of the present invention is not limited to knitting yarns, monofilaments, etc., and the production method is not particularly limited, and therefore can be produced by using a known method such as a simple melt spinning machine.

  The forming surgical thread of the present invention is preferably applied to a surgical operation for removing sagging skin or wrinkles at a predetermined site in a human body. Examples of these shaping procedures include facial sagging and wrinkling, facial wrinkling, cheek sagging, forehead wrinkling, neck wrinkling, nose wrinkling, etc. Treatment: bust formation treatment such as sagging breasts and breast augmentation; body shaping treatments such as sagging buttocks.

  As mentioned above, although one Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said Example at all. For example, the film body 10c may be formed not in the whole outside of the return yarn 10b but in the periphery.
