摘要:
ABSTRACTA packaged medical device produced according to the steps of positioning an antimicrobial agent source within a package comprising an inner surface, positioning a medical device within the package; and subjecting the package,the antimicrobial agent source and the medical device to time, temperature and pressure conditions sufficient to vapor transfer an effective amount of the antimicrobial agent from the antimicrobial agent source to the medical device, thereby substantially inhibiting bacterial colonization on the medical device.
摘要:
A monomeric adhesive composition includes a polymerizable monomer, such as a 1,1-disubstituted monomer such as a cyanoacrylate, and an antimicrobial agent, wherein the antimicrobial agent is a phenolic active compound. Examples of suitable phenolic active compounds include halogenated phenol compounds such as chlorinated phenol compounds (such as triclosan) and brominated phenol compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric medical articles comprising combinations of triclosan and silver-containing compounds. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that these agents act synergistically, thereby permitting the use of relatively low levels of both agents. While it had been previously found that triclosan can be particularly useful when used in conjunction with chlorhexidine, it has been further discovered that medical articles having suitable antimicrobial properties may be prepared, according to the present invention, which contain triclosan without chlorhexidine. Such medical articles offer the advantage of preventing or inhibiting infection while avoiding undesirable adverse reactions to chlorhexidine by individuals that may have sensitivity to chlorhexidine.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymeric medical articles comprising the antiinfective agents chlorhexidine and triclosan. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the synergistic relationship between these compounds permits the use of relatively low levels of both agents, and on the discovery that effective antimicrobial activity may be achieved when these compounds are comprised in either hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymers. It is also based on the discovery that chlorhexidine free base and triclosan, used together, are incorporated into polymeric medical articles more efficiently. Medical articles prepared according to the invention offer the advantage of preventing or inhibiting infection while avoiding undesirably high release of antiinfective agent, for example into the bloodstream of a subject.
摘要:
This invention relates to a fast drying iodine complex solution having film forming capability and skin substantivity which solution consists essentially of: (a) between 1 and 25 wt.% polyvinylpyrrolidone/iodine (PVP/I) complex; (b) between 5 and 15 wt.% vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer (PVP/VA); (c) between 0.5 and 1.5 wt.% non-plasticizing polyethylene glycol (PEG); (d) between 35 and 75 wt.% C1 to C4 alkanol; (e) between 12 and 35 wt.% deionized water; and (f) between 0 and 2.5 wt.% of 1-vinyl-3-(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone, based on total composition. The invention also relates to the method of preparing the film forming solution which has a drying time of less than 5 minutes.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bandage or wound dressing fabricated from a natural or synthetic film-forming material, such as a hydrophobic polymeric membrane, incorporating a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutically active (e.g. anti-microbial) compound within the matrix thereof. A preferred therapeutically active compound is Triclosan, which when incorporated into the bandage or wound dressing provides continuous inherent control of the growth of a broad range of microorganisms, which promotes better wound care management and wound healing.
摘要:
Disclosed are cyanoacrylate compositions comprising a compatible antimicrobial agent and, in particular, a compatible iodine containing antimicrobial agent. These compositions provide for in situ formation of an antimicrobial polymeric cyanoacrylate film on mammalian skin.
摘要:
Antimicrobial cyanoacrylate compositions are applied to non-suturable, superficial wound surfaces. In situ polymerization of the cyanoacrylate ester provides for a polymeric film over the wound which promotes wound healing and retards infection of the wound.
