  • Patent number: 7037535
    Abstract: Methods for neutralizing dust mite feces are disclosed. In one embodiment, a botanical extract having a BAPNA-Trypsin Inhibition (IC50×10?3 (%, v/v or w/v) of from about 0.01 to about 500 and a sufficient solubility in water is introduced into water to form an aqueous botanical extract solution. The aqueous botanical extract solution is atomized into an area being treated such that the botanical extract contacts and neutralizes the dust mite feces located in the area. Particularly preferred botanical extracts for use in the botanical extract aqueous solutions of the present invention include Green Tea Extra and Grape Seed Extract.

  • Publication number: 20040009210
    Abstract: Novel wound management products are disclosed. The products incorporate an increased amount of cationic compounds in the fibrous matrix of the substrate which allow the product to bind and remove various microbes from the surface of a wound. The products disclosed herein do not necessarily kill microbes on the wound's surface, but dislodge and bind the microbe through electrostatic interactions between the product and the microbe and allow the microbe to be removed by a positively charged substrate.
