  • Publication number: 20180263239
    Abstract: A sealable tray system for sealing a product in a transport-ready position. The sealable tray system has an insert, a first lid, an outer basin, and a second lid. The insert has a well portion with a base surface that extends upwardly to support the product. The insert also has a flange portion that extends outwardly from the well portion and is sealingly engaged by the first lid. The outer basin receives the insert in the transport-ready position, and the second lid engages a top surface of the outer basin. Methods of sealing a product in a transport-ready position are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150010506
    Abstract: This invention provides a therapeutic placental composition comprising placental cells and other placental components derived from placental tissue. A cryopreserved placental composition is also provided. The placental compositions can be used to stimulate and promote angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and to reduce scar formation, among others. The placental tissue can optionally be an amnion, chorion, a trophoblast-depleted chorion, umbilical cord, Wharton's jelly, placental cotyledon, and/or maternal decidua. The placental composition of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g., wound or burn) by applying the placental composition to the injury or in close proximity. Placental compositions may also be used to promote or increase regeneration of tissue. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

  • Patent number: 6709493
    Abstract: A venting device that reduces the moisture of an enclosure containing a heat source and prevents the entrance of water or other liquids and contamination from entering the enclosure. The moisture reducing device comprises a drying agent or desiccant which is adjacent to said heat source (such as an automotive headlamp bulb or thermally cycling device), an air-impermeable, water-vapor permeable layer, a vent that allows bulk flow of air during thermal cycling of the heat source and a internal diffusion tube or channel that limits the entrance of moisture vapor from the external atmosphere to the drying agent or desiccant. The air-impermeable, water vapor permeable layer allows for continuous diffusion of water vapor, reducing the moisture in the enclosure when the heat source is de-energized. The location of the device to the heat source regenerates the drying agent in the device when the heat source is energized.
