  • Patent number: 12329154
    Abstract: A disinfectant wipe is provided including a substrate that is substantially free of polyamides, and an acid anionic disinfectant is adsorbed to the substrate such that the disinfectant readily releases from the substrate to allow at least 65% delivery of the disinfectant when wiped on a surface. The substrate may be a woven, nonwoven, knit fabric, a foam, sponge or film composition and may be formed from polyester, polypropylene, nylon, cotton, rayon, acrylic, or combinations thereof. The acid anionic disinfectant has a pH below 7, below 5, below 3 and below 2. The substrate used to prepare the disinfectant wipe is not pretreated with the disinfectant or a release composition before applying the disinfectant. That is, the disinfectant is not applied and re-applied to ensure release onto a surface. In an embodiment of the invention acid anionic disinfectant is an antimicrobial agent.

  • Patent number: 12161661
    Abstract: A topical composition that destroys an external hyperplastic tissue, while preserving a basic architecture of the external hyperplastic tissue rather than dissolution of hydrolysis of protein peptide bonds of the external hyperplastic tissue, thereby providing a timely regeneration of healthy skin tissue after the external hyperplastic tissue has been treated with the topical composition, and thereby contributing to less damage to surrounding healthy skin tissue, as a result of, destructive potential of the topical composition being effectively neutralized and penetration of the topical composition into the surrounding healthy tissue being effectively blocked. The topical composition includes a caustic portion and a detoxifying and cleansing portion. The caustic portion has a caustic effect on the external hyperplastic tissue.
