Abstract: The invention includes a system for solidification of pharmaceutical wastes. The system may be for use in connection with a container serving as the medication bottle. The system includes an absorbent composition including a plurality of surface cross-linked superabsorbent particles. Additionally, a soluble packet may be included so that the absorbent composition is released upon dissolution of the packet and medication is rendered unavailable. The invention also includes a method of solidifying pharmaceutical waste.
Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for delivery and storage of an absorbent for solidification of liquid waste. The system includes a plurality of nestable containers configured to receive aqueous liquid to be solidified and forming a packet safe space when nested one within another. The system also includes a plurality of packets at least partially soluble in the aqueous liquid to be solidified. The containers include at least one packet and each packet contains a solidifier for use as an absorbent composition for the aqueous liquid to be solidified. A packet may be housed within the containers inside a packet safe space. The invention also includes an improved system and method for packaging a solidifier for solidification of liquid medical wastes.
Abstract: The invention includes a negative wound therapy system including a container, a wound covering, a packet and a plurality of surface cross-linked superabsorbent particles. The invention may be portable. The invention also includes a liquid solidification system for reducing gel block in NPWT systems. Methods of solidifying liquid medical waste from NPWT devices are also described and disclosed.
