摘要:
A vaginal therapeutic device having an exterior surface of copper metal that has a configuration for insertion in and retention in the vagina, and utilizes the copper metal as an antimicrobial agent to therapeutically treat abnormal biological conditions in the vagina. The exterior configuration of the device defines a plurality of protuberances to resist expulsion of the device from the vagina.

A vaginal douche comprises a vaginal douche applicator for introduction in the vaginal canal and a source or supply of douching fluid connected with the vaginal douche applicator. The vaginal douche applicator comprises an applicator body, a head joined to the applicator body and an internal passage for being supplied with douching fluid. Rearward discharge holes and forward discharge holes in the head communicate with the passage and discharge douching fluid into the vaginal canal. The rearward discharge holes face proximally toward the applicator body, and the forward discharge holes face distally and outwardly from the head at an angle. Douching fluid discharged into the vaginal canal is directed proximally along a plurality of external head channels of the head toward a plurality of external body channels of the applicator body. Douching fluid is directed proximally along the body channels toward the vaginal opening for exit from the vaginal canal. The vaginal douche and vaginal douche applicator are used in a method of vaginal douching.
摘要:
A topical copper ion treatment in basic form comprises a copper ion-containing solution composed of a biocompatible solution containing copper ions obtained by leaching of the copper ions from copper metal into the solution. The copper ion-containing solution can be combined with various carriers to form various forms of the copper ion treatment including creams, gels, lotions, foams, pastes, tampons, solutions, suppositories, body wipes, wound dressings, skin patches, and suture material. A method of making the copper ion-containing solution involves placing solid copper metal in a quantity of a biocompatible solution and maintaining the solution at a specified temperature for a predetermined period of time during which copper ions leach from the copper metal into the solution, and thereafter separating the solution from the solid copper metal.
摘要:
A deodorizer device for controlling body odor comprises a structure having an external metal oxide surface with a contour to contact the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms on the skin into body odor. The metal oxide surface is reactable with water supplied to the surface of the skin to render the bacterial organisms ineffectual to degrade perspiration later produced on the skin into body odor. The deodorizer device together with a water source form a deodorizer system. A method of controlling body odor involves supplying water to the surface of the skin where perspiration is produced and is degraded by bacterial organisms into body odor and, at the same time, contacting the surface of the skin with a metal oxide surface of a deodorizer device.
摘要:
A vaginal douche applicator includes an applicator body for positioning in the vaginal canal and comprising an elongate body portion and a tip disposed at a distal end of the body portion. The body portion has an open proximal end for being coupled with a source of a douching fluid that includes water, and the tip defines a closed distal end for the applicator body. The applicator body has a fluid passage therein communicating with the open proximal end for receiving the douching fluid from the source. A plurality of discharge holes are formed in the applicator body in communication with the fluid passage by which the douching fluid is discharged from the fluid passage into the vaginal canal. The body portion has an external surface of stainless steel for contacting vaginal tissue whereby vaginal odors are neutralized due to contact of the tissue with the stainless steel in the presence of the water of the douching fluid supplied to the vaginal canal through the applicator. The tip forms a protuberance for sealingly engaging the vaginal wall to deter douching fluid supplied to the vaginal canal through the applicator from passing distally beyond the tip such that the douching fluid is deterred from entering the cervical canal. A method of vaginal deodorization includes the steps of introducing a vaginal douche applicator into the vaginal canal, supplying water to the vaginal canal through the applicator and contacting vaginal tissue with a stainless steel surface of the applicator as the water is supplied to the vaginal canal such that vaginal odors are neutralized.
摘要:
A therapeutic wound dressing comprises a sheet of tape having an adhesive surface, a pad secured on the adhesive surface and a strip of solid copper material secured on the tape so as to be disposed within the periphery of the pad. The adhesive surface allows the wound dressing to be releasably adhered to the skin to cover a wound on the skin with the copper material in contact with the wound to provide therapeutic effects.
摘要:
Copper ion treatments and methods of treatment are provided to treat various body conditions affecting the oral, respiratory and/or otic areas of the body. The copper ion treatments contain copper ions which bring about local and systemic therapeutic effects as a result of contacting anatomical tissue of the oral cavity, the nasal passages or ear canal. The copper ion treatments and methods involve copper ion-containing solutions, copper ion toothpaste and copper ion mouthwash. The copper ion-containing solutions can be delivered to the oral cavity by spraying or swabbing, can be delivered to the nostrils as spray, drops, or by swabbing, and can be delivered to the ear canal as spray, drops, or by swabbing. The copper ion toothpaste is used for brushing the teeth, and the copper ion mouthwash is used for rinsing the mouth.
