Description

抗菌性医療器具の製造方法及び抗菌性医療器具Antibacterial medical device manufacturing method and antibacterial medical device
 本発明は、抗菌性医療器具の製造方法、及びその製造方法により製造された抗菌性医療器具に関し、特に、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤を固定することを特徴とする。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device and an antibacterial medical device manufactured by the manufacturing method, and in particular, an antibacterial agent is fixed to the surface of the medical device.
 抗菌性が付与された抗菌性医療器具の一つとして、中心静脈カテーテルが挙げられる。この中心静脈カテーテルは、鎖骨下静脈や頸静脈に中心静脈カテーテルの皮膚刺入部を差し込み、上大静脈に中心静脈カテーテルの先端部を長期留置して使用する器具である。
 そして、中心静脈カテーテルは、中心静脈カテーテルの皮膚刺入部あるいは内腔を介して細菌が体内に進入し、細菌感染を起こすおそれを回避するために、中心静脈カテーテルに抗菌性が付与されている。
 また、中心静脈カテーテルを体内に長期留置して使用することがあるため、抗菌性が長期間維持されることが望まれている。
As one of antibacterial medical devices provided with antibacterial properties, a central venous catheter can be mentioned. This central venous catheter is an instrument that is used by inserting the skin piercing portion of the central venous catheter into the subclavian vein or the jugular vein and placing the distal end portion of the central venous catheter in the superior vena cava for a long period of time.
The central venous catheter is given antibacterial properties in order to avoid the possibility of bacteria entering the body via the skin puncture site or lumen of the central venous catheter and causing bacterial infection. .
In addition, since the central venous catheter may be used after being placed in the body for a long period of time, it is desired that antibacterial properties be maintained for a long period of time.
 ここで、抗菌性医療器具の製造方法としては、特許文献1に開示されるように、医療器具の原材料である高分子化合物等に抗菌剤を練り込む製造方法がある。
 その他、特許文献2に開示されるように、抗菌剤が溶けた溶剤に医療器具を浸漬させるとともに、溶剤を乾燥させて、医療器具の表面を抗菌剤の層でコーティングする製造方法がある。
Here, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, as a method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device, there is a manufacturing method in which an antibacterial agent is kneaded into a polymer compound or the like which is a raw material of the medical device.
In addition, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, there is a manufacturing method in which a medical device is immersed in a solvent in which an antibacterial agent is dissolved, the solvent is dried, and the surface of the medical device is coated with a layer of the antibacterial agent.
 また、前記した抗菌性医療器具の製造方法によれば、同じ量の抗菌剤を使用した場合、高分子化合物等に抗菌剤を練り込んで製造した場合に比べて、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤の層をコーティングした場合の方が、医療器具の表面に多くの抗菌剤が分布する。そのため、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤の層をコーティングした場合の方が、抗菌性が高いという利点がある。 In addition, according to the above-described method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device, when the same amount of antibacterial agent is used, the antibacterial agent is applied to the surface of the medical device as compared to the case where the antibacterial agent is kneaded into a polymer compound or the like. More antibacterial agents are distributed on the surface of the medical device when this layer is coated. Therefore, the antibacterial property is more advantageous when the surface of the medical device is coated with the antibacterial agent layer.

 しかしながら、例えば、銀ゼオライトなどの溶剤に溶けない抗菌剤を用いて、中心静脈カテーテルの表面をコーティングしようとした場合、銀ゼオライトが溶媒に溶けないため、粒径が比較的大きい状態で、中心静脈カテーテルの表面に固定される。
 そのため、使用時において、中心静脈カテーテルを体内に差し込む際に、中心静脈カテーテルの表面の抗菌剤の層が擦れ、中心静脈カテーテルの表面から抗菌剤が容易に脱落してしまい、長期において抗菌性を維持することができないという問題があった。
 したがって、従来においては、銀ゼオライト等の溶剤に溶けない抗菌剤を用いて、長期において抗菌性を維持できる抗菌性医療器具を製造することができなかった。
However, for example, when an antibacterial agent that is insoluble in a solvent such as silver zeolite is used to coat the surface of the central venous catheter, silver zeolite does not dissolve in the solvent, so that the central vein Fixed to the surface of the catheter.
Therefore, during use, when the central venous catheter is inserted into the body, the antibacterial agent layer on the surface of the central venous catheter rubs, and the antibacterial agent easily falls off from the surface of the central venous catheter. There was a problem that it could not be maintained.
Therefore, conventionally, an antibacterial medical device that can maintain antibacterial properties over a long period of time cannot be produced using an antibacterial agent that is not soluble in a solvent such as silver zeolite.
 そこで、本発明は、前記問題に鑑みて、溶剤に溶けない抗菌剤であっても、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤を固定することが可能であり、かつ、長期において抗菌性を維持できる抗菌性医療器具の製造方法を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention is able to fix an antibacterial agent on the surface of a medical device even if it is an antibacterial agent that is not soluble in a solvent, and can maintain antibacterial properties over a long period of time. It is an object to provide a method for manufacturing a medical device.

 前記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具の製造方法は、医療器具の少なくとも体内挿入部位の表面に、沸点が異なる第1溶媒と第2溶媒とを混合した混合溶媒に抗菌剤粒子を分散させた抗菌剤含有溶媒を付着させる付着工程と、前記医療器具の表面に付着した前記抗菌剤含有溶媒を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、を含むことを特徴とする。

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device according to the present invention is an antibacterial solution in which a mixed solvent is prepared by mixing a first solvent and a second solvent having different boiling points on the surface of at least a body insertion site of a medical device. An attachment step of attaching an antibacterial agent-containing solvent in which agent particles are dispersed, and a drying step of drying the antibacterial agent-containing solvent attached to the surface of the medical device.
 このような抗菌性医療器具の製造方法によれば、付着工程により医療器具の表面に付着する抗菌剤含有溶媒には、医療器具を溶解可能な第2溶媒が含まれているものの、第1溶媒が混じっており、第2溶媒の濃度が低くなっているため、医療器具の表面が溶解することがない。
 そして、乾燥工程において、抗菌剤含有溶媒における第1溶媒が蒸発し始めると、第2溶媒の濃度が高くなり、医療器具の表面が溶解することとなる。
 そして、第2溶媒が蒸発した場合、医療器具の溶解面を硬化し、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤が溶着することとなる。
 よって、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤の層がコーティングされた抗菌性医療器具を製造することができる。
 そして、上記する工程により製造した抗菌性医療器具は、医療器具の表面から抗菌剤が脱落し難く、長期における抗菌性を維持することが可能となる。
According to such a method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device, the antibacterial agent-containing solvent that adheres to the surface of the medical device in the attaching step includes the second solvent that can dissolve the medical device, but the first solvent Since the concentration of the second solvent is low, the surface of the medical device does not dissolve.
In the drying step, when the first solvent in the antibacterial agent-containing solvent starts to evaporate, the concentration of the second solvent increases, and the surface of the medical instrument is dissolved.
And when the 2nd solvent evaporates, the melt | dissolution surface of a medical device will be hardened and an antibacterial agent will weld on the surface of a medical device.
Therefore, an antibacterial medical device in which the antibacterial agent layer is coated on the surface of the medical device can be manufactured.
And the antibacterial medical device manufactured by the process mentioned above cannot maintain an antibacterial property for a long time, since an antibacterial agent is hard to drop out from the surface of a medical device.
 また、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具の製造方法は、前記第1溶媒が、その沸点が前記第2溶媒の沸点よりも30℃以上低いことを特徴とする。
 このような製造方法によれば、第1溶媒が第2溶媒よりも30℃以上沸点が低いため、第1溶媒の蒸発中に、第2溶媒を蒸発させるおそれが少なくなり、抗菌剤含有溶媒における第2溶媒の濃度を確実に高くすることが可能となる。
The method for producing an antibacterial medical device according to the present invention is characterized in that the boiling point of the first solvent is 30 ° C. or more lower than the boiling point of the second solvent.
According to such a production method, since the first solvent has a boiling point of 30 ° C. or more lower than that of the second solvent, there is less risk of evaporating the second solvent during the evaporation of the first solvent. It is possible to reliably increase the concentration of the second solvent.
 また、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具の製造方法は、前記第1溶媒が、前記医療器具の表面を溶解させないものであり、前記第2溶媒が、前記医療器具の表面を溶解させることが可能なものであることを特徴とする。
 このような製造方法であれば、抗菌性含有溶媒に、医療器具の表面を溶解させる第2溶媒のほかに、医療器具の表面を溶解させない第1溶媒も含まれているために、抗菌性含有溶媒中における第2溶媒の濃度が低くなる。よって、抗菌性含有溶媒を医療器具に付着させても、第1溶媒を蒸発させない限り、医療器具の表面を溶解させるおそれがない。
 一方で、第1溶媒を蒸発させることにより、抗菌剤含有溶媒中における第2溶媒の濃度を高め、医療器具の表面を溶解させることが可能となる。
In the method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device according to the present invention, the first solvent does not dissolve the surface of the medical device, and the second solvent can dissolve the surface of the medical device. It is a characteristic.
In such a production method, the antibacterial-containing solvent contains the first solvent that does not dissolve the surface of the medical device in addition to the second solvent that dissolves the surface of the medical device. The concentration of the second solvent in the solvent is lowered. Therefore, even if the antibacterial-containing solvent is attached to the medical device, there is no possibility of dissolving the surface of the medical device unless the first solvent is evaporated.
On the other hand, by evaporating the first solvent, it is possible to increase the concentration of the second solvent in the antibacterial agent-containing solvent and dissolve the surface of the medical device.
 また、本発明に係る前記乾燥工程は、室温により前記第1溶媒を蒸発させる第1処理工程と、加熱により前記第2溶媒を蒸発させる第2処理工程とを含むことを特徴とする。
 このような製造方法によれば、室温により第1溶媒が蒸発する第1処理工程によって、抗菌剤含有溶媒中の第2溶媒の濃度を高くすることが可能となり、医療器具の表面が溶解させることが可能となる。また、第1処理工程は、室温で第1溶媒を蒸発させるため、医療器具が熱により変形するおそれがない。
 また、第2処理工程によって、第2溶媒が蒸発するため、医療器具の表面を溶解することがないため、医療器具の溶解面を硬化し、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤が溶着させることが可能となる。
The drying step according to the present invention includes a first treatment step for evaporating the first solvent at room temperature, and a second treatment step for evaporating the second solvent by heating.
According to such a manufacturing method, it is possible to increase the concentration of the second solvent in the antibacterial agent-containing solvent and to dissolve the surface of the medical device by the first treatment step in which the first solvent evaporates at room temperature. Is possible. Further, since the first treatment step evaporates the first solvent at room temperature, there is no possibility that the medical instrument is deformed by heat.
Moreover, since the second solvent evaporates in the second treatment step, the surface of the medical device is not dissolved, so that the dissolution surface of the medical device can be cured and the antibacterial agent can be deposited on the surface of the medical device. It becomes.
 また、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具の製造方法は、前記抗菌剤粒子は、銀担持シリカ粒子、ゼオライト銀粒子、銀粒子の少なくともいずれか一つ含むことが好ましい。
 このような製造方法によれば、抗菌作用に優れた銀を抗菌剤として用いているため、より抗菌作用にすぐれた抗菌性医療器具を製造することができる。
In the method for producing an antibacterial medical device according to the present invention, the antibacterial agent particles preferably include at least one of silver-supported silica particles, zeolite silver particles, and silver particles.
According to such a manufacturing method, since silver excellent in antibacterial action is used as an antibacterial agent, an antibacterial medical instrument having a better antibacterial action can be manufactured.
 また、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具の製造方法は、前記抗菌剤含有溶媒に、分散剤が添加されていることが好ましい。このような製造方法によれば、混合溶媒中に分散させる抗菌剤の分散性の安定化を図ることが可能となるからである。 In the method for producing an antibacterial medical device according to the present invention, it is preferable that a dispersant is added to the antibacterial agent-containing solvent. This is because according to such a production method, it is possible to stabilize the dispersibility of the antibacterial agent dispersed in the mixed solvent.
 また、本発明に係る抗菌性医療器具は、上述した抗菌性医療器具の製造方法により製造されたことを特徴とする。このような抗菌性医療器具によれば、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤が溶着しているため、使用の際に抗菌剤が容易に脱落しないため、長期において抗菌性を維持することが可能となる。 The antibacterial medical device according to the present invention is manufactured by the above-described method for manufacturing an antibacterial medical device. According to such an antibacterial medical device, since the antibacterial agent is welded to the surface of the medical device, the antibacterial agent does not easily fall off during use, and thus it is possible to maintain the antibacterial property for a long period of time. .
 以上、本発明によれば、溶剤に溶けない抗菌剤であっても、医療器具の表面に抗菌剤を固定することが可能であって、長期において抗菌性を維持できる抗菌性医療器具の製造方法を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, even if the antibacterial agent is not soluble in a solvent, the antibacterial agent can be fixed on the surface of the medical device, and the antibacterial medical device can be maintained for a long time.

 実施形態の乾燥工程は、抗菌剤含有溶媒中の第1溶媒を蒸発させる第1処理工程と、抗菌剤含有溶媒中の第2溶媒を蒸発させる第2処理工程及び第3処理工程との3つの工程からなる。
(Drying process)
Next, a drying process for drying the antibacterial agent-containing solvent attached to the surface of the central venous catheter 1 will be described.

It consists of a process.
 (第1処理工程)
 第1処理工程は、室温で1時間程度放置する等により、抗菌剤含有溶媒中の第1溶媒を蒸発させ、抗菌剤含有溶媒における第2溶媒の濃度を高くするための工程である。
 よって、第1処理工程の温度は、特に限定されないが、室温である場合には、第1溶媒であるメタノール等の大部分を蒸発させることができる。
 そして、第1処理工程によれば、抗菌剤含有溶媒における第2溶媒の濃度が高くなり、抗菌剤含有溶媒が付着した中心静脈カテーテルの表面を溶解させて、抗菌剤を埋没させることができる。
 また、第1処理工程の時間は、溶解した中心静脈カテーテルの高分子材料が、抗菌剤の全面を覆わない程度、つまり、溶解した高分子材料から抗菌剤の一部が露出する程度に中心静脈カテーテルの表面を溶解させることが必要である。
(First processing step)
The first treatment step is a step for evaporating the first solvent in the antibacterial agent-containing solvent and leaving the concentration of the second solvent in the antibacterial agent-containing solvent high, for example, by leaving it at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Therefore, the temperature of the first treatment step is not particularly limited, but when it is room temperature, most of the first solvent such as methanol can be evaporated.
And according to a 1st process process, the density | concentration of the 2nd solvent in an antibacterial agent containing solvent becomes high, the surface of the central venous catheter to which the antibacterial agent containing solvent adhered can be dissolved, and an antibacterial agent can be buried.
Also, the time of the first treatment step is such that the polymer material of the dissolved central venous catheter does not cover the entire surface of the antibacterial agent, that is, the central vein is exposed to the extent that a part of the antibacterial agent is exposed from the dissolved polymer material. It is necessary to dissolve the surface of the catheter.
 (第2処理工程)
 第2処理工程は、熱処理により第2溶媒を蒸発させる工程である。また、第2溶媒を蒸発させるための熱処理の温度及び時間は特に限定されないが、温度が高すぎると、中心静脈カテーテルが変形するおそれがある点に留意する。
(Second processing step)
The second treatment step is a step of evaporating the second solvent by heat treatment. Moreover, the temperature and time of the heat treatment for evaporating the second solvent are not particularly limited, but it should be noted that if the temperature is too high, the central venous catheter may be deformed.
 (第3処理工程)
 第3処理工程は、残存する抗菌剤含有溶媒を蒸発させるために熱処理を行う工程である。よって、第3処理工程の熱処理は、第2溶媒が蒸発すればよく、抗菌剤含有溶媒を第2溶媒の沸点温度となるように加熱する必要はない。また、高温により中心静脈カテーテルが変形しない程度である必要がある。
 これによれば、溶解した中心静脈カテーテルを構成する高分子材料が硬化して抗菌剤の一部が溶着し、抗菌剤の一部が露出した状態で中心静脈カテーテルの表面に固定されることとなる。
(Third treatment process)
The third treatment step is a step of performing heat treatment to evaporate the remaining antibacterial agent-containing solvent. Therefore, the heat treatment in the third treatment step is only required to evaporate the second solvent, and it is not necessary to heat the antibacterial agent-containing solvent to the boiling point temperature of the second solvent. Moreover, it is necessary that the central venous catheter is not deformed by high temperature.
According to this, the polymer material constituting the dissolved central venous catheter is cured and a part of the antibacterial agent is welded, and a part of the antibacterial agent is exposed and fixed to the surface of the central venous catheter. Become.

The weight after coating the tube A with the antibacterial agent-containing solvent A increased by 0.0342 g.
 (比較例1、2)
 比較例1と比較例2の抗菌性医療器具は、実施例1の混合溶媒と異なる溶媒である抗菌剤含有溶媒B又は抗菌剤含有溶媒Cとにより製造した。
 具体的に、比較例1の混合溶媒Bは、第2溶媒のみからなり、N-メチル-ピロリドンを10mL用意した。
 そして、この混合溶媒Bに、実施例1と同じゼオライト銀粒子(シナネンゼオミック社製、商品名「ゼオライト銀AJ-10D」)の粉末を0.3g用意し、混合溶媒Bに分離させ、ゼオライト銀粒子が3wt/v%の割合で入っている抗菌剤含有溶媒Bを製造した。そして、実施例1と同じ乾燥工程を経て、抗菌性チューブBを製造した。
(Comparative Examples 1 and 2)
The antibacterial medical devices of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were produced with the antibacterial agent-containing solvent B or the antibacterial agent-containing solvent C, which is a solvent different from the mixed solvent of Example 1.
Specifically, the mixed solvent B of Comparative Example 1 consisted of only the second solvent, and 10 mL of N-methyl-pyrrolidone was prepared.
Then, 0.3 g of the same zeolite silver particles (product name “Zeolite Silver AJ-10D”, manufactured by Sinanen Zeomic Co., Ltd.) as in Example 1 is prepared in the mixed solvent B, and separated into the mixed solvent B. An antibacterial agent-containing solvent B containing particles at a rate of 3 wt / v% was produced. And the antimicrobial tube B was manufactured through the same drying process as Example 1.
 また、比較例2の混合溶液Cは、第1溶媒のみからなり、メタノールを10mL用意した。そして、この混合溶媒Cに、実施例1と同じゼオライト銀粒子(シナネンゼオミック社製、商品名「ゼオライト銀AJ-10D」)の粉末を0.3g用意し、混合溶媒Cに分離させ、ゼオライト銀粒子が3wt/v%の割合で入っている抗菌剤含有溶媒Cを製造した。そして、実施例1と同じ乾燥工程を経て、抗菌性チューブCを製造した。 Moreover, the mixed solution C of Comparative Example 2 was composed of only the first solvent, and 10 mL of methanol was prepared. Then, 0.3 g of the same zeolite silver particles (product name “Zeolite Silver AJ-10D” manufactured by Sinanen Zeomic Co., Ltd.) as in Example 1 is prepared in the mixed solvent C, separated into the mixed solvent C, and the zeolite silver An antibacterial agent-containing solvent C containing particles at a rate of 3 wt / v% was produced. And the antimicrobial tube C was manufactured through the same drying process as Example 1.
(製造後の形状確認)
 以上の製造方法により製造した実施例1の抗菌性チューブAと比較例1の抗菌性チューブBと比較例2の抗菌性チューブCのそれぞれの形状を目視により確認した。なお、形状確認の結果を下記表1に示す。
(Confirm shape after production)
The shapes of the antibacterial tube A of Example 1, the antibacterial tube B of Comparative Example 1, and the antibacterial tube C of Comparative Example 2 manufactured by the above manufacturing method were visually confirmed. The results of shape confirmation are shown in Table 1 below.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 形状確認の結果は、抗菌性チューブAと抗菌性チューブCは、チューブの形状に変化はなかった。しかしながら、抗菌性チューブBは、チューブそのものの形状が変形していた。つまり、第2溶媒のみからなる混合溶媒Bでは、医療器具の表面を溶解しすぎるため、医療器具そのものの形状が変化した。 As a result of the shape confirmation, the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube C did not change in the shape of the tube. However, the antibacterial tube B has a deformed shape. That is, in the mixed solvent B composed only of the second solvent, the surface of the medical instrument is excessively dissolved, so that the shape of the medical instrument itself has changed.
(剥離試験)
 抗菌剤の剥離試験は、製造後の抗菌性チューブA、抗菌性チューブCの表面に溶着した抗菌剤が、綿棒により擦った後も抗菌性チューブA、抗菌性チューブCの表面に溶着しているかを走査型電子顕微鏡(株式会社日立ハイテクノロジーズ製、型式:S-3400N)の表面写真(撮影方向:チューブ表面に対して垂直方向、倍率:3000倍)により視認して確認した。なお、綿棒による擦りの力は、中心静脈カテーテルを体内に差し込む際に、チューブが受ける力と同等な力である。また、表面写真(図2~図5)において、抗菌剤は粒状に撮影される。
(Peel test)
In the antibacterial agent peel test, whether the antibacterial agent welded to the surface of the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube C after manufacture is still adhered to the surface of the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube C after rubbing with a cotton swab. Was visually confirmed by a surface photograph (photographing direction: perpendicular to the tube surface, magnification: 3000 times) of a scanning electron microscope (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, model: S-3400N). The rubbing force with the cotton swab is equivalent to the force that the tube receives when the central venous catheter is inserted into the body. In the surface photographs (FIGS. 2 to 5), the antibacterial agent is photographed in a granular form.
 まず、製造後の抗菌性チューブAは、図2に示すように、抗菌性チューブAの表面には、抗菌剤の一部が露出した状態で溶着されていることが確認できた。
 一方で、抗菌性チューブCの方においても、図3に示すように、抗菌性チューブCの表面に抗菌剤があることが確認できた。
First, as shown in FIG. 2, the manufactured antibacterial tube A was confirmed to be welded to the surface of the antibacterial tube A with a part of the antibacterial agent exposed.
On the other hand, it was confirmed that the antibacterial tube C also has an antibacterial agent on the surface of the antibacterial tube C as shown in FIG.
 次に、綿棒により抗菌性チューブAと抗菌性チューブCとの表面を綿棒で擦った。
 これによれば、擦った後の抗菌性チューブAの表面には、図4に示すように、依然として抗菌剤が固定されており、抗菌性チューブAの表面から抗菌剤が容易に脱落しないことを確認できた。一方で、擦った後の抗菌性チューブCの表面は、図5に示すように、抗菌剤がなく、抗菌剤が容易に脱落した。
Next, the surface of the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube C was rubbed with a cotton swab with a cotton swab.
According to this, as shown in FIG. 4, the antibacterial agent is still fixed on the surface of the antibacterial tube A after rubbing, and the antibacterial agent does not easily fall off from the surface of the antibacterial tube A. It could be confirmed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the surface of the antibacterial tube C after rubbing did not have the antibacterial agent, and the antibacterial agent easily dropped off.
 なお、抗菌性チューブBにおいても、剥離試験はおこなったが、抗菌性チューブBは、チューブ表面の溶解量が多く、抗菌剤が埋没した状態で、溶着されていた。
 よって、抗菌剤は剥離しないものの、抗菌剤が露出していないため、銀イオンが溶出せず、抗菌性チューブBは抗菌性が発揮できないことがわかった。
In addition, although the peeling test was done also in the antibacterial tube B, the antibacterial tube B was welded in a state where the amount of dissolution on the tube surface was large and the antibacterial agent was buried.
Therefore, although the antibacterial agent does not peel off, the antibacterial agent is not exposed, so that silver ions do not elute, and the antibacterial tube B cannot exhibit the antibacterial property.
 以上の実施例1の抗菌性チューブA、比較例2の抗菌性チューブCの試験結果より、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAでは、抗菌剤が容易に剥離しないことが証明できた。 From the test results of the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 and the antibacterial tube C of Comparative Example 2, it was proved that the antibacterial agent does not easily peel off in the antibacterial tube A of Example 1.
 つぎに、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAにおける、銀イオンの溶出量と抗菌活性値を測定した。また、比較例3として、練り込み式により製造された抗菌性チューブDを用意し、その銀イオンの溶出量と抗菌活性値を測定した。
(比較例3)
 比較例3の抗菌性チューブDは、実施例1と同じポリウレタン(日本ミラクトラン社製、商品名「E990」)を原材料とした。
 また、抗菌剤も、実施例1と同様に、ゼオライト銀粒子の粉末を用意した。そして、ポリウレタンに対して5wt/v%の割合でゼオライト銀粒子を混合させて、外径2.1mm、内径1.3mmの抗菌性チューブDを製造した。なお、抗菌性チューブDに含有されるゼオライト銀粒子は、0.0348gであり、抗菌性チューブAの0.0342gと略同じ量の抗菌剤を有している。
Next, the elution amount of silver ions and the antibacterial activity value in the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 were measured. Moreover, as Comparative Example 3, an antibacterial tube D produced by a kneading method was prepared, and the elution amount and antibacterial activity value of the silver ions were measured.
(Comparative Example 3)
The antibacterial tube D of Comparative Example 3 was made from the same polyurethane as that of Example 1 (product name “E990” manufactured by Nippon Milactolan Co., Ltd.).
As for the antibacterial agent, a powder of zeolite silver particles was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. Then, the silver zeolite particles were mixed at a rate of 5 wt / v% with respect to the polyurethane to produce an antibacterial tube D having an outer diameter of 2.1 mm and an inner diameter of 1.3 mm. In addition, the zeolite silver particle contained in the antibacterial tube D is 0.0348 g, and has the same amount of antibacterial agent as 0.0342 g of the antibacterial tube A.
(試験方法)
 試験方法は、抗菌性チューブAと抗菌性チューブDを長さ30cm(全表面積は、32±5cm2程度)に切り、黄色ブドウ球菌懸濁培地溶液10ml中に浸漬させた。そして、浸漬後の溶液を用いて、ICP発光分析装置を用いて銀イオンの溶出量(ppm)を測定した。また、銀イオンの溶出量の測定は、溶液に浸漬後の1日後、7日後、14日後、21日後、28日後に分けて測定することにより、銀イオンの溶出量の経時的変化を測定した。測定結果を図6に示す。
(Test method)
In the test method, the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube D were cut to a length of 30 cm (total surface area is about 32 ± 5 cm 2 ) and immersed in 10 ml of a staphylococcus aureus suspension medium solution. And the elution amount (ppm) of silver ion was measured using the solution after immersion using the ICP emission spectrometer. In addition, the measurement of the elution amount of silver ions was carried out by measuring the elution amount of silver ions over time by separately measuring after 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after immersion in the solution. . The measurement results are shown in FIG.
 一方で、抗菌活性値については、抗菌性チューブA、抗菌性チューブDが浸漬された溶液を用いて、抗菌試験技術協議会規格に定められたシェーク法により測定した。また、抗菌活性値の測定は、溶液に浸漬後の0日後、7日後、14日後、21日後、28日後に分けて測定することにより、抗菌活性値の経時的変化を測定した。測定結果を図7に示す。 On the other hand, the antibacterial activity value was measured using a solution in which the antibacterial tube A and the antibacterial tube D were immersed, according to the shake method defined in the Antibacterial Test Technology Council Standard. In addition, the antibacterial activity value was measured by measuring the change over time of the antibacterial activity value by separately measuring after 0 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after immersion in the solution. The measurement results are shown in FIG.
 銀イオンの溶出量の測定に関し、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAと比較例3の抗菌性チューブDとともに、日時が経過することに銀イオンの溶出量は低減しているものの、常時、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAの方が、比較例3の抗菌性チューブDよりも、銀イオンの溶出量が多かった。 Regarding the measurement of the elution amount of silver ions, although the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 and the antibacterial tube D of Comparative Example 3 are reduced, the elution amount of silver ions is reduced as time passes. The antibacterial tube A of 1 had a greater silver ion elution amount than the antibacterial tube D of Comparative Example 3.
 また、抗菌活性値においては、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAの抗菌活性値は、低下することなく高い値を維持していた。つまり、以上より、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAは、抗菌性を長期において発揮することができた。
 一方で、比較例3の抗菌性チューブDは、14日後まで、実施例1と同等な抗菌活性値を示していたが、21日後、28日後と日時が経過するごとに、抗菌活性値が低下した。
 よって、実施例1の抗菌性チューブAは、比較例3の抗菌性チューブDに比べて、高い抗菌活性値を長期において発揮することが証明できた。
Moreover, in the antibacterial activity value, the antibacterial activity value of the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 maintained a high value without decreasing. That is, from the above, the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 was able to exhibit antibacterial properties over a long period of time.
On the other hand, the antibacterial tube D of Comparative Example 3 showed an antibacterial activity value equivalent to that of Example 1 until 14 days later, but the antibacterial activity value decreased every 21 days and 28 days later. did.
Therefore, it was proved that the antibacterial tube A of Example 1 exhibited a high antibacterial activity value in the long term as compared with the antibacterial tube D of Comparative Example 3.
 つぎに、抗菌性チューブの表面に溶着した抗菌剤の状態について、再度確認した。
(実施例2、比較例4)
 実施例2は、実施例1と同様にして抗菌性チューブEを製造した。また、比較例4は、比較例2と同様にして抗菌性チューブFを製造した。
 製造した抗菌性チューブE、抗菌性チューブFについて、その表面に溶着した抗菌剤の状態を、走査電子顕微鏡(株式会社日立ハイテクノロジーズ製、型式:S-3400N)の表面写真(撮影方向:チューブ表面に対して斜め方向、倍率:3000倍)、断面写真(倍率:3000倍)により視認して確認した。なお、表面写真(図8、図10)、断面写真(図9、図11)において、抗菌剤は粒状に撮影される。
Next, the state of the antibacterial agent welded to the surface of the antibacterial tube was confirmed again.
(Example 2, Comparative Example 4)
In Example 2, the antibacterial tube E was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. In Comparative Example 4, an antibacterial tube F was produced in the same manner as Comparative Example 2.
About the manufactured antibacterial tube E and antibacterial tube F, the surface state of the antibacterial agent welded to the surface of the scanning electron microscope (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, model: S-3400N) (shooting direction: tube surface) In comparison with the oblique direction, magnification: 3000 times), cross-sectional photograph (magnification: 3000 times) was visually confirmed. In the surface photographs (FIGS. 8 and 10) and cross-sectional photographs (FIGS. 9 and 11), the antibacterial agent is photographed in a granular form.
 実施例2の抗菌性チューブEは、図8、図9に示すように、抗菌性チューブEの表面には、抗菌剤の一部が露出した状態で溶着されていることが確認できた。したがって、抗菌性チューブEでは、前記剥離試験において、抗菌剤が容易に脱落しないことがわかった。
 また、比較例4の抗菌性チューブFは、図10、図11に示すように、抗菌性チューブFの表面に抗菌剤があることが確認できた。したがって、抗菌性チューブFでは、前記剥離試験において、抗菌剤が容易に脱落することがわかった。
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it was confirmed that the antibacterial tube E of Example 2 was welded to the surface of the antibacterial tube E in a state where a part of the antibacterial agent was exposed. Therefore, in the antibacterial tube E, it turned out that an antibacterial agent does not fall out easily in the said peeling test.
Moreover, the antibacterial tube F of the comparative example 4 has confirmed that there was an antibacterial agent on the surface of the antibacterial tube F, as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. Therefore, in the antibacterial tube F, it turned out that an antibacterial agent falls out easily in the said peeling test.
