20120316538 | Osmotic Wound Vacuum System - A negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system creates and maintains a sub-atmospheric pressure within a sealed wound environment for the purpose of healing wounds. The NPWT system includes a wound interface material, a housing, an osmotic membrane, and an evacuation port. The wound interface material contacts a wound region and absorbs exudate from the wound region. The housing defines a cavity in an interior space of the housing. The osmotic membrane is coupled to the wound interface material to transfer a fluid of the exudate from the wound interface material to the cavity of the housing. The evacuation port is also coupled to the wound interface material to facilitate passage of a gas out of the wound interface material to create a negative pressure at the wound region. | 12-13-2012 |

The opening is defined within the enclosure to allow a portion of the body part of the patient to extend out of the internal space of the enclosure. The opening is further configured to form a seal around the body part that extends out of the internal space of the enclosure. The hydrogen source delivers hydrogen gas into the internal space of the enclosure. | 11-07-2013 |

20140296774 | AUTO-REPLENISHING, WOUND-DRESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Apparatus and methods to treat skin defects include a pump with reservoirs for a pressurization gas and a fluid. Upon activation, the pump generates a gas introduced into the gas reservoir, a movable wall of which displaces a movable wall of a fluid source, thus dispensing the fluid into the dressing to spread throughout irrespective of orientation of the dressing, maintaining a transport fluid (e.g. carrier) in the dressing and in contact with a skin defect being treated. The dressing may have a distribution network, and multiple members, dispensing the fluid into the dressing and in contact with a skin defect being treated. | 10-02-2014 |
20150130088 | VOLATILE SUBSTANCE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A volatile substance delivery system includes a volatile substance container to contain a volatile substance, a volatile substance delivery structure, and a volatile substance drop delivery system to deliver a drop of the volatile substance to the volatile substance delivery structure for delivery to an ambient environment. | 05-14-2015 |
20160051737 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR WOUND THERAPY - A wound therapy device is disclosed. The wound therapy device may include a housing for covering at least a portion of a wound and for sealing to a body surface of a patient. The housing may also include a liquid collector for retaining liquid therein and a vacuum connection for coupling to a vacuum source. The vacuum connection may be in gaseous communication with the liquid collector. The vacuum connection may be separated from the liquid collector by a liquid barrier. | 02-25-2016 |

20120171127 | VOC-FREE COMPRESSED GAS AEROSOL COMPOSITION - Certain surfactants suitable for use alone to dissolve a water-insoluble component in compositions is described for providing VOC-free compressed gas aerosol compositions. The compositions include water-insoluble component(s), a surfactant and water. The water-insoluble component(s) can be active agent(s), such as fragrance(s) and/or an insecticide(s). The surfactant is present as a single surfactant which, in the absence of a solvent, dissolves or disperses the water-insoluble component(s) and provides a homogenous blend in water which provides a stable compressed gas emulsion. The surfactant is an anionic surfactant or a nonionic surfactant, in particular nonionic alkylpolyglycosides; nonionic cocoglucoside; nonionic alkylene oxide extended chain alkylpolyglycosides; anionic sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), nonionic C | 07-05-2012 |
20130181013 | COMPOSITION AND AEROSOL SPRAY DISPENSER FOR ELIMINATING ODORS IN AIR - An air treating composition for eliminating airborne malodors and/or sanitizing air in combination with a spray valve and actuator and spray performance parameters providing maximum dispersion of the composition is disclosed. The particles of the composition are small so that the active component is dispersed into air as a fine dispersion to provide more contact with malodors and to provide quick absorption of malodors and/or bacteria. The particle size of the composition is controlled through the valve and actuator dimensions, as well as the formulation requirements of the composition. The air treating composition includes water, a low molecular weight polyol, and a propellant. The composition may also include one or more adjuvants such as an emulsifier, a co-solvent, a fragrance, a corrosion inhibitor, a pH adjusting agent and the like. | 07-18-2013 |
