| 20100055142 | Carrier Neutralization/Modification in Antimicrobial Compositions, Articles and Methods - A method of treating a substrate having a charge bias with at least one antimicrobial agent to modify the release properties of the antimicrobial agent with respect to the substrate, the method includes eliminating, mitigating, or modifying the charge bias of the substrate by applying at least one first agent to the substrate, and applying the at least one antimicrobial agent to the substrate. Related articles are also described. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100055158 | Environmentally Activated Compositions, Articles and Methods - An article includes a film layer; at least one layer of adhesive on at least one side of the film layer; a patch or strip comprising at least one antimicrobial agent, the patch or strip disposed on the same side of the film layer as the at least one layer of adhesive; and a relatively non-flexible sheet releasably attached to the side of the film layer opposite to the patch or strip. Alternatively, an article includes a film layer; a collagen layer; and a biodegradable hydrogel layer comprising PHMB; wherein the biodegradable hydrogel layer comprising PHMB is disposed between the film layer and the collagen layer | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100055437 | ANTI-MICROBIAL FIBERS AND RELATED ARTICLES AND METHODS - An antimicrobial fiber is described including: an inner layer and an outer layer; wherein the inner layer and the outer layer comprise at least one of the following characteristics: (I) the inner layer and the outer layer comprise of different concentrations, or different release rates, of at least one antimicrobial agent; and (II) the inner layer and the outer layer comprise different antimicrobial agents. An alternative antimicrobial fiber includes an antimicrobial agent compounded or combined with a dissolvable substance to promote release or binding of the antimicrobial agent. Related articles are also described. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100106095 | Transparent Catheter Securement System - A securement device for securing a catheter to a patient is provided. The securement device includes a proximal portion having a pliable support and at least one securement arm extending away from the pliable support. The pliable support defines a slot configured to receive at least a portion of a catheter. A distal portion of the securement device includes an adhesive surface configured to be folded over the proximal portion to secure the proximal portion to a patient. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100260824 | Antimicrobial Foam Compositions, Articles and Methods - Articles may be formed including: at least one layer of foam, the foam layer and at least one antimicrobial agent associated with foam layer, the antimicrobial agent including PHMB, PEHMB, or derivatives thereof; at least one non-adherent layer disposed on at least a portion of the foam layer, the non-adherent layer being permeable to moisture; and a film disposed on at least another portion of the foam layer, the film being breathable to allow escape of moisture, but substantially impermeable to bacteria. Another article may include at least one layer of foam, the foam having pores of different sizes, at least some of the pores at least partially filled with at least one elutable antimicrobial agent, the pores of different sizes forming a gradient with the foam layer. Yet another article may include a foam matrix and a plurality of dissolvable members disposed with the foam matrix, at least one antimicrobial agents associated with the dissolvable members such that upon dissolution thereof the antimicrobial agent is eluted and pores or voids are created in the foam matrix. Wound dressings formed from the above articles are also described. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20100147840 | Reusable, Combined Multi-Part Product Shipping Box and Display Tray - A reusable combined multi-part product shipping box and display tray. There are two generally rectangular trays, each defining four sides, with four barrier portions projecting upward from each tray proximate its edges, one barrier portion at about the center of each of the sides, and four corner posts, one projecting up from each corner of the tray. There is also a generally rectangular sleeve defining four sides and four corners, and open ends that are about the same size and shape as the trays, the sleeve adapted to engage with the trays to close its open ends and form a shipping container, the sleeve adapted to sit on the tray inside of and up against the barrier portions, with each corner of the sleeve located outside of and against a corner post, such that the sleeve is tightly engaged with the trays. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100314437 | High Vertical Load Box - A box, preferably made from a unitary blank of material. The box has four interconnected sidewalls defining an open storage area that has a generally rectangular prism shape. Each sidewall defines at least a triple thickness of the material. The preferred material is corrugated paper or plastic. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110101081 | Pre-Folded File Bottom Box Form and Method of Creating Same - A pre-folded file bottom box form, a method of creating the box form, and a box created from the form. The box form is created from a unitary blank of corrugated material that is die cut and creased so as to form a series of interconnected panels arranged in three rows that each include four panels. A first row has four panels that each end up in the box as a reinforcing end wall or sidewall panel; each of these panels are separated by a narrow gap. A middle row includes four panels that each end up in the box as a box end wall or sidewall panel; each of these panels is contiguous with one panel of the second row. There is a crease located between each of the middle row panels, and between each of them and the first row panel that is contiguous with it. A third row, coupled to the second row, includes first and second bottom panels and two end-wall reinforcing panels. The first and second bottom panels are each contiguous with one of the panels of the second row with a crease located between them. The end-wall reinforcing panels are contiguous with the first bottom panel with a crease located between each of them and the first bottom panel. | 05-05-2011 |
