Abstract: A wound care product in the form of a gel is provided, and contains protein from egg shell membrane. The gel is made by first hydrating the egg shell membrane powder and then adding carbomer to partially neutralize the egg shell membrane. The neutralization is completed with the addition of triethanolamine, so as to form a homogeneous gel with a smooth consistency. An antimicrobial compound and a tissue growth accelerator are added to the gel. The gel, infused with egg shell membrane, is applied directly to the wound tissue to form a barrier trapping the active ingredients adjacent the wound site and inhibiting penetration of outside bacteria into the wound site.

Abstract: The hand-held vibration anesthesia tool of the present invention includes a housing in which a battery, vibratory motor, switch and light source are enclosed. A switch turns the motor and light on and off. A tip extends from the housing for touching a patient's skin. When the motor is actuated, vibrations are transmitted through the tip to the skin to create an anesthetized zone. The light defines a target for the needle or other treatment adjacent the tip.
