Abstract: Sanitary articles formed of cellulose flock and non-flock carriers or covers are shredded by rotating entrainers, which are arranged in an enclosed housing. The cellulose flock thus separated is removed from the housing under suction through a sieve which only allow the cellulose flock through. The removal is effected before the covers have been shredded to such an extent that they pass through the sieve. The shredded cover material is then removed separately.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and composition for local application of an active preventive and/or therapeutic agent in the oral cavity by means of a carrier into which the active agent is incorporated. The carrier is an initially mouldable mass which after application is converted into a tough or viscous, elastic consistency.
