  • Patent number: 7048913
    Abstract: An antifungal composition for the treatment of fungal infections in, around and under human nails, the composition comprising an aqueous solution of a wetting agent such as alcohol and a source of fluoride ions sufficient to establish a pH ranging from about 2.8 to about 3.5 in the composition. A preferred source of fluoride ions is stannous fluoride or stannous fluoride in an amount sufficient to saturate the solution. According to the method of the invention, one or more drops of the subject solution are topically applied to the infected nail and surrounding cuticular area periodically until the infection abates.

  • Patent number: 4238002
    Abstract: Apparatus for suspending a mass and using the weight of said mass to slowly rotate it. The apparatus includes a housing and a shaft within the housing coupled to said housing by means of a spiral cam so that longitudinal movement of the shaft causes the shaft to rotate. The shaft is also coupled to the housing by damping means which limits the rotational speed of the shaft to some preselected rate.
