摘要:
A method for preventing an infection in a patient introduced through a indwelling catheter, the method comprising, connecting the patient to the catheter, connecting the catheter to a fluid receiving container, admitting into the container a biocidal dispensing device, and releasing a biocide into fluid in the container for inhibiting the growth of infectious bacteria in the container and concomitantly their introduction into the catheter and the patient.

摘要:
A method for enhancing the transdermal flux of a transdermally deliverable drug through intact skin is described in which the drug is delivered simultaneously with polyethylene glycol monolaurate. Preferred embodiments of transdermal therapeutic systems for delivering drug and polyethylene glycol monolaurate employ matrix containing drug at a concentration above saturation.
摘要:
Elastomeric bladders having improved resistance to spontaneous rupture when inflated are made by vulcanizing a homogeneous mixture of synthetic polyisoprene having 90% to 98% cis-1,4 linkages, 3 to 10 phr fumed silicon dioxide, and vulcanizing agent while simultaneously forming the mixture into hollow cylindrical bodies. After being formed the bodies are solvent extracted to remove unreacted vulcanizing agent and the degradation products of the vulcanizing agent. Following the solvent extraction about 0.2 to 2 phr of a nontoxic, nonleachable antioxidant are imbibed into the bodies by contacting the bodies with a liquid solution of the antioxidant.
摘要:
A transdermal therapeutic system is formed from a body member surrounding means at least a portion of which is an active agent loaded elastomer which is in a stretched condition during use. The tension created by the stretching of the elastomer is preferably from 20 to 35 psi and maintains the agent transferring contact between the skin and the transdermal therapeutic system. The transdermal therapeutic system may be in the form of a glove, sock, sleeve, cuff or band, for example.
摘要:
An improvement in liquid dispensers, especially those used to infuse liquid drugs into patients, that dispense liquid under pressure from an expansible, elastomer bladder is disclosed. The improvement is that the bladder is made from synthetic vulcanized polyisoprene, especially polyisoprene that has 90% to 98% cis linkages and has been vulcanized with an organic peroxide, such as dicumyl peroxide, at a concentration of 5.5.times.10.sup.-3 to 7.5.times.10.sup.-3 moles of peroxide per 100 grams of polyisoprene.
摘要:
A polymeric wall adapted to release drug at a controlled rate for a prolonged period of time from a reservoir comprising a drug and a carrier which is permeable to the drug and saturated therewith during said prolonged period of time, to a body environment or a drug receptor site, the wall comprising a mixture of a polymer which is biologically compatible with said environment or site and maintains its integrity while in contact therewith, has a glass transition temperature between ambient temperature and 150.degree.C, a crystallinity of 5% to 95%, or is rubbery, and is permeable to the drug but at a rate less than that of the carrier and as a minor constituent a polymeric additive such as a polyester prepared from a glycol and a dibasic acid, polyethylene glycol, chlorinated polyethylene or copolymers of ethylene and vinyl esters or vinyl esters or vinyl halides, the amount of additive being sufficient to make the permeability of the wall to the drug substantially different than the permeability of the polymer to the drug but still less than the permeability of the carrier to the drug.
