摘要:
This Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) is a 'bead-on-adhesive' invention, with essential features as follows: 1) 'Bead-on-adhesive' -Encapsulated core actives which can be natural therapeutic substances, herbal prescriptions, or botanical extracts, or appropriate drugs form 'bead' which performs a template function, 2) A technique that enables a full range of production scale, from small batches for customized individual conditions to over-the-counter mass production for common aliments, 3) Controlled release transdermal delivery, 4) Masking of odor or color that core substances may have, 5) Resilient support function, 6) Self-sealant without any auxiliary fixing device. This TDS is a resilient supporting substrate, e.g. textiles, elastomers etc., [1a3, 1b2] with a self-sealant adhesive coated [1a3, 1b2] on its whole surface. Beads, which are embedded with controlled release encapsulated core actives, are either stuck at the foremost tip end surface as a 'compress' for the wrapping model or on the wrong-side [1b2] central zone [1b1] for the tubing model. Core actives are customized natural prescriptions, like Chinese herbal prescriptions, aromatherapy blends, vegetable oil blends or botanical extracts, or drugs to treat individual conditions or to heal common aliments. The encapsulated beads [1a2, 1b1], in which the core actives are embedded, are shelled with a membrane. With the membrane, all undesirable odor is masked and all possible residue colour-stains is avoided. (Figure 1a and b is a schematic representation of the bead-on-adhesive TDS invention.)

A breast pad assembly is disclosed wherein one face of the breast pad which faces the breast during use contains a composition comprising a skin benefit ingredient for improving the skin health of a woman's breast and nipple skin. In one embodiment of the invention, the skin health benefit ingredient comprises omega-3 fatty acids which can replace lipids lost from the breast and nipple during breast feeding. The omega-3 fatty acids can also be ingested by the infant to improve systemic development in the infant. In another embodiment, the skin benefit ingredient comprises omega-3 fatty acids and essential fatty acids.
摘要:
A tampon is adapted to deliver a therapeutic agent, the tampon including a body having a proximal end and a distal end, the body including an absorbency zone adjacent the distal end, wherein the absorbency zone includes absorbent material; an application zone adjacent the proximal end and spaced apart from the distal end; and a therapeutic agent positioned substantially within the application zone. A method produces a device for delivering a therapeutic agent, the method including manufacturing a tampon having a body with a distal end, a proximal end, an absorbency zone adjacent the distal end, and an application zone adjacent the proximal end; and locating a therapeutic agent substantially within the application zone.

The present invention discloses an improved structure of a sanitary napkin which could remove the odor emating from the blood. The structure includes an absorbent core having proteolytic enzymes powder and an absorbent core having vanilla powder. The structure can decompose the red blood to white, and can deodorize and provide with fragance.
摘要:
An active coloring concentrate can be prepared from the juice of cranberry and other fruits or vegetables by treating juice or homogenate with an appropriate binding matrix. Assorted ion exchange resins such as cholestyramine are effective binding matrices, but the currently preferred material is a food grade of cross-linked polyvinylpyrollidone. When appropriate binding matrices are used to concentrate active materials from cranberry, a colored solid is produced. This substance shows significant antibacterial and anti-viral properties. It can be readily consumed as a therapeutic or nutraceutical, used as a coloring agent, or it can be used topically. An additional advantage of the present method is that significant amounts of active concentrate can be produced from cranberrry presscake which is normally a waste material.
