  • FILMS FOR USE AS DOSAGE FORMS
    Publication number: 20120100278
    Abstract: Non-gelatin film materials, e.g. films of modified cellulose materials find use as dosage forms. Substances are incorporated into the film matrix and films thus prepared may be administered orally, or otherwise internally, or epidermally. The administable form may comprise a matrix which contains at least one water soluble polymer in the form of a film, in addition to at least one active ingredient, to produce a therapeutic, organoleptic or cosmetic effect.

  • Method of tablet enrobing
    Patent number: 7744945
    Abstract: An ingestible tablet (10), e.g. of a medicament, is enrobed to produce a tamper-evident coating by vacuum forming a film (40, 46) of material, preferably hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, onto the surface of the tablet.

  • Drainage bag
    Patent number: 7416543
    Abstract: A drainage bag for receiving bodily waste, such as an ostomy bag, comprises an outer bag of material soluble in cold water, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, and an inner bag of material insoluble in water at ambient temperature and body temperature but soluble in organic solvent, e.g. 2-oxepanone polymer (polycaprolactone). When the bag (and contents) are to be disposed of, appropriate organic solvent (e.g. benzyl alcohol) is applied to the inner bag. The bag can then be placed in a WC bowl and is flushable after about 1-2 minutes.
