Patents by Inventor Bruce A Mast

Bruce A Mast has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Materials with covalently-bonded, nonleachable, polymeric antimicrobial surfaces
    Patent number: 7709694
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods and compositions for materials having a non-leaching coating that has antimicrobial properties. The coating is applied to substrates such as gauze-type wound dressings. Covalent, non-leaching, non-hydrolyzable bonds are formed between the substrate and the polymer molecules that form the coating. A high concentration of anti-microbial groups on multi-length polymer chains and relatively long average chain lengths, contribute to an absorbent or superabsorbent surface with a high level antimicrobial effect.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 4, 2010
    Assignees: Quick-Med Technologies, Inc., University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.
    Inventors: Christopher D. Batich, Gregory Schultz, Bruce A. Mast, Gerald M. Olderman, David S. Lerner, William Toreki
  • Intrinsically bactericidal absorbent dressing and method of fabrication
    Patent number: 7045673
    Abstract: Absorbent dressings, including highly-absorbent dressings having antimicrobial polymer attached thereto via non-siloxane bonds are disclosed. Bandages (i.e. wound dressing), sanitary napkins and the like are useful applications for the intrinsically bactericidal absorbent dressings whose method of manufacture and use are disclosed and claimed.
