摘要:
The present disclosure comprises a polymeric substrate that provides multiple releases of active agents. A substrate for multiple phase delivery of active agents is provided having a first polymer matrix layer having a first active agent disposed therein, a second polymer matrix layer having a second active agent disposed therein, and a coacervate layer disposed between the first polymer matrix layer and the second polymer matrix layer. Selected first and second active agents are included in the first and second polymer matrices such that as the first and second polymer matrices dissolve, the active agents are released. Multiple phase active agent release is achieved by constructing multiple layers of a polymer matrix containing an active agents formed with polymers having different solubility characteristics or with active agents at different concentration levels.
摘要:
An ultrasonic treatment system having a treatment chamber for treating a formulation to increase the shelf life thereof. In one embodiment, the shelf life is produced by degassing the formulation using the treatment chamber. Specifically, the treatment chamber has an elongate housing through which a formulation flows longitudinally from an inlet port to a first outlet port and a second outlet port thereof. An elongate ultrasonic waveguide assembly extends within the housing and is operable at a predetermined ultrasonic frequency to ultrasonically energize the formulation within the housing. An elongate ultrasonic horn of the waveguide assembly is disposed at least in part intermediate the inlet and outlet ports, and has a plurality of discrete agitating members in contact with and extending transversely outward from the horn intermediate the inlet and outlet ports in longitudinally spaced relationship with each other. The horn and agitating members are constructed and arranged for dynamic motion of the agitating members relative to the horn at the predetermined frequency and to operate in an ultrasonic cavitation mode of the agitating members corresponding to the predetermined frequency and the formulation being treated in the chamber.
摘要:
Absorbent products and wet wipes are disclosed that are useful in reducing the amount of ammonia produced by bacteria on or near the skin or in bodily fluids such as urine. The products described herein contain an osmoregulation protector which when introduced into a bacteria-containing environment interacts with the bacteria and reduces the amount of ammonia produced by the bacteria without significantly affecting the growth rate of the bacteria. The osmoregulation protectors described herein are particularly useful in combination with adult incontinence garments where the control of odors from bacterial by-products such as ammonia is highly desirable.
摘要:
An elastomeric article having reducing microbe affinity and transmission is disclosed. The article includes an exterior surface including an antimicrobial polymer, where the antimicrobial polymer is formed from an organosilane quaternary ammonium compound.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and formulations capable of maintaining or promoting the growth of certain strains of Lactobacilli spp. The compositions and formulations comprise isomaltulose The compositions have been shown to promote the growth and maintenance of beneficial lactobacilli and to effectively inhibit the growth of pathogens associated with urogenital infections. As such administration of the compositions maintain a healthy microflora balance in the urogenital area.
摘要:
A material substrate having at least part of a surface treated with an antimicrobial composition is described. The antimicrobial composition exhibits at least a 3 log10 CFU reduction within a period of about 30 minutes after contact with various species of a broad spectrum of microorganisms. The substrate can be a nonwoven material that has good fluid barrier properties, which can be used in protective garments and sheets. Methods for manufacturing and imparting the antimicrobial treatment to the substrate are also provided.
摘要:
A synergistic antimicrobial composition containing at least two kinds of antimicrobial agents, including poly-hexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), stably associated to a material substrate is described. The substrate can take the forms of an anti-infection face mask, medical devices, or surgical instruments.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for minimizing the presence of microbial pathogens on currency or on mail. More particularly, the presence of microbial pathogens may be minimized by introducing an antimicrobial product comprising a base substrate and a volatile and/or non-volatile antimicrobial agent into a money container comprising currency or into an envelope. The antimicrobial agent may be either transferred directly to the currency or envelope by contacting the antimicrobial product with the currency or envelope, or through permeation of the volatile antimicrobial throughout the money container or envelope.
摘要:
The present invention provides fibers, foams, films and nonwoven fabrics having more than one skin treatment benefit and/or improved skin treatment benefit(s) and to products incorporated such fibers, foams, films and fabrics . The present invention also provides a method of forming fibers, nonwoven fabrics, porous films and foams having multiple skin treatment benefits.
摘要:
The present disclosure is generally directed to a composition comprising one or more elongated particles having a diameter of from about 5 nm to about 500 nm, a length that is greater than the diameter and an aspect ratio of greater than about 1. The aspect ratio affects the orientation of such elongated particles in relation to a surface on which the composition is applied.
