  • Methods and devices for accessing and retracting a capsule of a joint
    Patent number: 9675336
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed herein for accessing the hip joint. A first device can be securely attached to the capsule of a joint. The first device can tent the capsule to increase the volume of the peripheral compartment. A second device can be biased against the first device to pierce the tented capsule and create a portal. Devices and methods are also disclosed herein for distending the capsule of a joint. A distention device may access a portal established within the capsule. The distention device can expand the capsule by applying an expansive force within the peripheral compartment. The distention device can maintain distention of the peripheral compartment while other devices access the joint.

  • EFFERVESCENT TABLET FOR ELIMINATION OF RED WINE DISCOLORATION, OFFENSIVE ODOUR OF MOUTH AND CLEANING THE PALATE
    Publication number: 20170128337
    Abstract: The embodiments herein discloses a composition and method for the synthesis of an effervescence producing tablet for reducing and eliminating a mouth odour and oral staining caused by ingested beverages and food. The method comprises mixing excipients, disintegrating agents, flavour and sweetener in a V-blender. The lubricant is added V-blender to obtain a mixture. The mixture is compressed on tablet press equipment with a round tooling. The tablets are packaged in a foil pouch. The “excipients” in the effervescent tablet composition are malic acid, sorbitol, potassium bi-carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and magnesium oxide. The malic acid react with potassium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate to form an effervescence reaction to induce tablet disintegration, provide a pleasant sensation in the mouth, and to clean a wine stain in the mouth.

  • Determining the bioavailability of zinc (II) ions
    Patent number: 9625449
    Abstract: An in vitro method for determining the bioavailability of zinc (II) ions from an oral care composition comprises: providing a sample comprising, the oral care composition; contacting the sample with a biorelevant substrate, separating the biorelevant substrate from the sample, contacting the biorelevant substrate with an indicator under conditions selected such that the indicator is capable of reacting with zinc (II) ions, and determining a light absorbance of the indicator. The indicator is zincon or a salt thereof. The method is useful for estimating the ability of an oral care composition to deliver therapeutically-active zinc (II) ions to the oral cavity. Also provided is the use of zincon and a biorelevant substrate in vitro to determine the bioavailability of zinc (II) ions from an oral care composition comprising, a zinc source.
