Abstract: Bio-and blood compatible materials are prepared by treating the surface of a substrate to provide reactive primary or secondary amine groups sites which are activated by treatment with a dialdehyde or arylchloride for coupling to a biological in an amount sufficient to provide compatibility. The use of specific substrates, such as a compliant, and elastic material, such as a fabric-elastomer membrane matrix, results in a product having advantageous qualities as a thermal burn dressing. Detailed procedures and various products are described including gloves and sleeves and tubes with or without adhesive to facilitate formation of sheet materials into various forms and products. The products may have small holes provided therein for the rapid passage of accumulated fluid away from the wound or infusion of liquid materials to the wound site.

Abstract: An inner container having a dispensing valve is situated within a flexible sack which in turn is situated within an outer container having a cover and a dispensing valve. The sack contains one package component and the inner container contains the other package component and a propellant. A further propellant is situated outside of the sack within the outer container. The inner dispensing valve is constructed as a dosage valve and issues into the interior of the outer dispensing valve. The latter is kinematically coupled with the inner dispensing valve and possesses a blocking system which blocks its interior relative to the interior of the sack when the outer dispensing valve is open. The particular construction and the flow-related coupling of both dispensing valves permits a defined dosed dispensing of both package components with a defined mixture ratio.
