Description

DESCRIPTION
EAR CLEANING MIXTURE APPLIABLE AS FOAM OR IN SHAMPOO FORM
Technical Field:
The invention relates to foam or shampoo formulation that can be used for cleaning the earlap, external ear canal, and the earwax forming in external ear canal.
Background Art:
At the entrance of the external ear canal where hair is existent, an ocher or fawn colored natural secretion called as "cerumen" is formed by particular sebaceous glands that are located in the skin. This has features like protecting and lubricating the ear canal and avoiding the microbes.
Being a secretion of the external ear canal, the cerumen is produced by the sebaceous glands located in skin of external ear canal. The object thereof is to protect the external ear canal against infections. Normally, cerumen is passed in direction of earlap through external ear canal by the self- grooming function of the skin, but sometimes, it is secreted too much, gets stiff, or the cerumen cleaning function is damaged by applications like cotton swabs and it cannot be removed. Excessive cerumen (earwax) accumulating in the external ear canal cause hearing impairment, tinnitus or earache and dizziness.
Due to the form of ear canals, cleaning is difficult. Within the state of art, the present methods used for cleaning external ear canals can be collected under two main titles. The first one is the personal cleaning stuff that can be used for the user to clean his/her ears, and the other one is the professional cleaning stuff that can be used by doctors or specialized persons for professional purposes.
The most common example of personal cleaning stuff is the cotton buds and similar elements. Yet, due to the structure of ears, it is inconvenient to insert such things as cotton buds or other materials into the ear. During the use of cotton buds for cleaning ear canals, the hair, which is one of most vital element for the cleaning function in the ear may get damaged and become nonfunctional. Cerumen present in the ear canal is actually a secretion that has features such as protecting and lubricating the ear canal, and avoiding microbes. Furthermore, the cerumen prevents the dust and particles coming from external sources from reaching inner parts. This secretion is carried by the hair existent on the ear canal and thrown out of the body. Cleaning of the ear canal using hard objects, even though there exist flexible materials at their tips, damages the movement of the hair in canals. In this case, the discharging mechanism that functions naturally in the ears gets damaged and the external ear canal can be blocked.
On the other hand, while cleaning the interior of the ear using hard materials like cotton buds, the dirt is moved further into the ear canal by the pressure applied externally, and after consecutive cleanings, there may exist accumulations in some parts of the ear canal. Due to these accumulations, external ear canals can be blocked.
During ear cleaning, a hard object is inserted into the ear canal using hard materials like cotton buds and the canal is cleaned by radial moves. As a result of wrong cleaning, there are possibilities that a user can contact the tympanic membranes located at the end of the ear canal and damage them. On the other hand, the action of the cotton buds inside awakes the nerve ending in corresponding area and causes more cerumen to be produced, and the cerumen to be pushed backwards and thus, to be sticked to the tympanic membrane.
Another example for ear cleaning is the ear candle. According to this method, an easily melting funnel is propped against the ear and end of said funnel is burned for creating a vacuum effect. Vacuum of pipe by the fire takes the collected earwax in the ear out. This method is not applicable by a person on his/her own. Yet, it is dangerous as it is applied by burning candle.
Other examples of personal cleaning elements are shampoos and soaps. Users try to clean external ear canals using these cleaning materials during bathing. Yet, ear cleaning using cleaning materials that are structurally not suitable for cleaning earwax may cause irritation of external ear canal, infection and insufficient production of cerumen.
For example, the conventional hair shampoos without pH 5.5 value or soap that makes the skin pH alkali, destroy the acidic protection layer of skin and may cause new infection to spread even more.
Such kind of unsuitable products may cause unbalance in ear canals instead of cleaning ear canals and avoiding infections.
Professional cleaning elements are not methods that can provide periodical ear cleaning at home for users. For application of such matters and methods, a specialized person must treat ears of the person. Examples of professional cleaning applications are aspirator or lavage (irrigation) applications. In aspirator method, earwax is cleaned using vacuum either with microscope or otoscope. Yet, this method is not preferred if the ear canal of corresponding person is so narrow, there is a hole in tympanic membrane or his/her immune system is weak.
In lavage application, ear canals are washed by a specialized person using water and softening solutions. In this method, the accumulated earwax in ear canal is softened using glycerin and similar softening mixtures, and following this, ear canals are washed using pressurized water. However, within the scope of said method, pressurized water reaches to middle ear and causes middle ear infection.
During the ear cleaning performed by means of abovementioned methods, there may develop irritation, bleeding on external ear canal, traumatic tears on tympanic membrane. Earwax softening drops alone hinders removal of the earwax from ears, because earwax swells due to glycerin and blocks external auditory canal further, and reduces process performance.
In patent application numbered EP 1337228, a mixture for helping in discharging the cerumen in human ear is disclosed. Said mixture comprises a carrier medium acceptable as bicarbonate and otologic, an enzyme acceptable as ceruminolytic, a carrier medium or bicarbonate acceptable as otologic, an enzyme acceptable as ceruminolytic and a carrier medium acceptable as otologic, in the structure thereof.
Mixture according to said patent is administered to ear canal via a dropper. In order to administer said mixture via ear canal, two different compounds forming the mixture according to the invention should be stored in two different areas on packs. Otherwise, the mixture cannot be used effectively. This increases the unit costs of said product.
The main reason that said mixture is kept in two different reservoirs is that the compounds in the structure are labile. The effectiveness of the product according to the invention decreases in the event that bicarbonate and other compounds used in the invention are mixed during storing before application.
On the other hand, it is difficult to apply the mixture to ears in drops and it is not possible to treat the whole of ear canals with the mixture. This decreases the efficiency of used mixture .
In the patent numbered US 4895875, there are stabilized peroxide solutions comprising . peroxide and glycerin, methods for preparing thereof and use for discharging cerumen disclosed.
The product disclosed in the patent numbered US 4895875 causes the cerumen in ears to swell due to glycerin and not to be discharged in many points from inside ear, and even accumulate in some parts by swelling.
On the other hand, said mixture can only be administered to ear canals in liquid form. A mixture in liquid form cannot diffuse the inner surface of ear canal completely, and therefore it cannot clean many parts of the ear interior canals . The Object Of the Invention:
The object of the invention is to present an ear cleaning product that provides ear cleaning without irritation and bleeding by its facilitating the removal of earwax effect in regular usage.
Another object of the invention is to provide a product formulation with active ingredient that can even be used in children.
Another object of the invention is to present an ear cleaning product in foam or shampoo form that can penetrate to the entire canal surface of the ear by its large surfaced form.
An object of the invention is that the surfactants included therein provide better cleaning of the earwax, which is a fat based secretion, and the accumulation of earwax is avoided with regular use.
Another object of the invention is to provide ease of use, ease of rinsing and effective dosing by its foam form.
An object of the invention is to present a mixture that allows discharging earwax without swelling it, and accordingly causing no blocking and irritation in external ear canals.
Another object of the invention is to form an ear cleaning product that has both ceruminolytic, cleaning and oil solving features .
An object of the invention is to form a product that facilitates personal use and increases effectiveness thanks to its foam form. Another object of the invention is to present an ear cleaning product without any infectious or infection increasing effect, and any decreasing or increasing effect on cerumen amount.
Another object of the invention is to form an ear and ear canal cleaning product compatible with skin, and which does not damage pH balance of skin.
Another object of the invention is to form an ear and ear canal cleaning product, which increases the efficiency of application in both personal and professional use, and provides an easier cleaning of earwax by applying to patients before lavage and aspirator methods.
