摘要:
A device is provided for deliberately distributing simultaneously over the entire vertical and/or longitudinal extend of a body of aqueous containing liquid a gelation agent for the rapid containment of contaminated aqueous liquids. The device is an elongated rigid or semi-rigid body for containing an envelope or package of material immediately dissolvable in the aqueous liquids, and which contains the gelling agent prior to liquid exposure. The device includes means for exposure of its content to the liquid, once the device is positioned in or is surrounded by the liquid. The invention contemplates a conventional suction canister having the device positioned therein for receiving contaminated body fluids.
摘要:
A polyurethane composition has particles of solid polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex evenly distributed throughout the polyurethane matrix so that the complex does not associate with the polyurethane to any appreciable extent. In one embodiment of the composition, the polyurethane is thermoplastic for coating or molding applications. In another embodiment, the composition is a polyurethane foam particularly useful as a sponge for scrubbing which provides almost instantaneous release of the complex. The sponge may be provided in a package which includes other items useful for scrubbing.
摘要:
A catheter tubing has a layer of a hydrophobic stiffening polymer encapsulated by a layer of hydrophilic thermoplastic base polymer. Preferred stiffening polymers are polyesterpolyether block copolymers. Preferred base polymers are thermoplastic polyetherurethanes. The encapsulated layer may be a stripe or an annular layer having base polymer layers laminated on both surfaces thereof.

摘要:
A coating composition for an article surface includes a uniform blend of an elastomeric segmented hydrophilic polyetherurethane and a hydrophilic polymer, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone. The invention includes a method for rendering an article surface lubricious which includes coating the composition onto the article surface and contacting the coated surface with an aqueous liquid.
摘要:
A copolymer having free hydroxyl groups is formed from N-vinyl pyrrolidone and allyl alcohol. A polyurethane is formed from a reaction mixture which includes the copolymer, a diisocyanate, a chain extender and a polyglycol. The polyurethane takes up iodine to give a complex useful as an antimicrobial coating on a medical article or as an antimicrobial foam sponge or wound dressing.
摘要:
An article which becomes lubricious when wet includes a base polymer and a coating composition thereon. The composition includes a lubricating polymer and a matrix polymer which adheres to the base polymer and serves as a carrier for the lubricating polymer. The composition may also include a homogenizing polymer to enhance the compatibility of the matrix and lubricating polymer. The invention includes a method to make the article of the invention by coextruding the base polymer and the coating composition.
摘要:
A composition which includes polyvinylpyrrolidone and a polyurethane is melt processed to give a shaped article. The melt processing may be a coextrusion with a substrate polymer to give a shaped article having the composition coated on the surface thereof. The article surface is lubricious when contacted with water.
摘要:
A gelling composition for an aqueous liquid includes ungellated starch which has been reacted with a silane coupling agent. In preferred compositions, the starch is a starch-polyacrylate graft copolymer and the composition includes a polyacrylate gelling agent. A disinfectant may be added to the composition for compositions intended for use with medical waste.
摘要:
A process of making a polyurethane condom which comprises providing an organic solvent solution of a polyurethane, a single dipping of a condom form or mold into the polyurethane solution, raising the form from solution and allowing the resultant deposited film to cure at elevated temperatures, thereby forming the condom.
