  • WEAR RESISTANT ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20210227830
    Abstract: Anti-microbial compositions comprising (a) a quaternary ammonium compound and (b) a cationic biocide. Applicant has discovered a synergistic combination of the two components with the ration of cationic biocide to quaternary ammonium being less than 1:10 or with a single quaternary compound in a ratio of less than 1.6 to 1 provide a film forming coating that has residual anti-bacterial activity and improved durability with strong resistance to general wear between applications.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 23, 2020
    Publication date: July 29, 2021
    Inventors: Brandon Herdt, Richard Staub, Kevin Tauer, Kim R. Solomon

  • Topical skin barriers and methods of evaluation thereof
    Publication number: 20070098656
    Abstract: A topical skin barrier for protecting and promoting healing of skin, and for providing comfort to a patient, comprises a semi-solid hydrocarbon and a water-absorbing compound. The topical skin barrier effectively adheres to skin, affords protection from moisture and waste, and provides transparency in use. Methods of in vitro evaluation are for (i) a composition's protection from moisture and waste, and (ii) a composition's adhesion to skin.
