  • Publication number: 20190105272
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an appliance for extending the production of nitric oxide by microencapsulated spinach extract powder and acidic gel. The appliance includes a microencapsulated spinach extract acting as a nitric oxide donor, and an acidic gel having a sufficient acidity to transform the spinach extract into nitric oxide. The method and appliance for extending the production of nitric oxide by spinach extract microencapsulated powder and acidic gel can release NO for a long time and provide a long-term effect to the affected position.

  • Publication number: 20170065630
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for generating and applying long-lasting therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas from the reaction of a least one microencapsulated nitrite salt and an activating volume of an aqueous acidified gel that has sufficient acidity to convert the nitrite salt to a nitric oxide (NO) and further provides a reducing property that retains the NO in bioactive form

  • Patent number: 8980331
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for generating and applying long-lasting therapeutic nitric oxide (NO) gas from the reaction of water-soluble chemical reactants microencapsulated in polymer matrices. In some applications the microencapsulated reactants are introduced in an aqueous gel, and in other applications they are introduced to the area of therapy either directly or in a medical device such as a therapeutic pad or dressing. In some applications, the microencapsulated chemical precursors are maintained in close physical proximity to one another in a limited volume, and using a limited amount of solvent residing within that same volume to extract and process the chemical precursors to form NO.
