Publication number: 20220183942Abstract: A composition and associated methods of manufacture for a new type of hand sanitizer that has a “crackling” effect when the user rubs it between their hands. Crackling hand sanitizer formulations promote hand sanitizing because of the interactive user experience provided during application and use of the formulations. A hand sanitizer concentrate solution mixed with a propellant and thickening agent results in a formulation that provides a crackling effect when applied to the hands by a user. The “crackling effect” is a physical reaction when the formulation is in contact with the user's skin, in which the propellant evaporates, causing a crackling sound while also providing a tingling or effervescent feeling on the skin.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Nirali Patel, Carlo Jeunen

Patent number: 11065045Abstract: A device is disclosed for reducing a vertebral compression fracture, comprising a superior end plate and an inferior end plate disposed along a vertical axis. The superior end plate and the inferior end plate are slidably separable in a vertical direction along the vertical axis. An interior chamber is provided in fluid communication with a port extending from an exterior to the interior chamber. The device is deployable within a vertebral body and expandable within the vertebral body by injecting a flowable material into the interior chamber thereby displacing the superior and inferior end plates along the vertical axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Inventors: Jody L. Seifert, Paul W. Millhouse, Jamie Carroll, Michael L. Boyer, II, Nirali Patel, David W. Ankney, Mark Adams
