Abstract: An emergency hemostatic head trauma bandage cap with a strap system and method of use, which, when applied to the head, delivers minimal pressure to control bleeding, doesn't compromise cervical spine immobilization, allows for fast and effective application of cooling gel to control intracranial/internal swelling or hot packs to prevent hypothermia in non-trauma situations, doesn't come apart during treatment and transport, and doesn't require a caregiver to re-wrap the dressing.

Abstract: An emergency trauma stretch bandage cap shaped as a skull cap with roll able edges capable of holding hot or cold packs, which is placed on the cranium to cover the crown, forehead, back of the head, ears, sides of the head around the ears, and the temples of an injured patient with minimal movement of the neck and spine made of two or more layers of a stretchable warp knit fabric cut and sewn to form a form-fitting head bandage shape to apply sufficient pressure to suppress bleeding.

Abstract: An emergency head trauma bandage cap with a detachable strap system and method of use, which, when applied to the head, delivers minimal pressure to control bleeding, doesn't compromise cervical spine immobilization, allows for fast and effective application of cooling gel to control intracranial/internal swelling or hot packs to prevent hypothermia in non-trauma situations, doesn't come apart during treatment and transport, and doesn't require a caregiver to re-wrap the dressing.

Abstract: The Technology described herein applies to medical dressings designed to heal wounds in the area of advanced wound care, inclusive of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), and describes novel wound healing absorbent scaffolds and dressing based on natural and naturally-derived material and fibers, preferentially poly (lactic) acid fibers and alginate materials.

Abstract: Included are food packaging materials and processes that are useful for commercial products to extend the freshness and preserve the integrity and shelf-life of packaged foods. Said food packaging materials utilize a low bioburden, biodegradable and/or compostable shock absorbing/cushioning nonwoven structure and some form or forms of an antimicrobial and/or antifungal agent consisting of silver or silver-based species that destroy microbes which would otherwise spoil the food. The shelf-life extension process involves silver-based antimicrobial agents that function to mitigate the spread of food spoilage pathogens when they come in contact with the said food packaging materials. Fluid absorbing or superabsorbent, capabilities may be incorporated in the structure to control excess fluids.

Abstract: The present invention provides a food preservation system that includes a multi-phase bacterial inhibition food pad. The food pad includes absorbent media and/or material to absorb fluids emanating from the packaged food. The absorbent media/material includes one or more bacterial inhibitors that may possess bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal properties. In addition, the food pad may also include an atmosphere modification system capable of modifying an atmosphere in a food package. Optionally, one or more reaction promoters and/or one or more mechanisms to protect the food preservation system may also be included in the food pad. Overall, the food preservation system inhibits bacterial growth, thereby enhancing food preservation and/or food safety.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stabilized foam having a crosslinked closed cell polyolefin foam having a top and a bottom surface; a stabilizing layer disposed onto at least one of the top and the bottom surfaces of the crosslinked closed cell polyolefin foam; and an adhesive layer disposed onto at least one of the top or the bottom surfaces. Also provided is a method of preparing the stabilized foam, a method of treating a wound, scrape, abrasion or skin puncture, a method of maintaining cleanliness of an operation incision site, suture site, catheter insertion site, or an intentional skin breach site, a method of monitoring electrical impulses during EKG or delivering electrical impulses in a TENS or biofeedback therapy, and a method of softening the collagen deposits on a scar and reducing the raised or keloid portion of the scar over time.

Abstract: A three dimensional fabric suitable for use as a moisture management system for footwear and apparel which includes a first surface and a second surface which encase a center section. At least one surface is water repellent and may include pores of a predetermined size to allow moisture to pass therethrough. The fabric further contains a moisture absorbing agent which functions to capture and hold moisture which is later evaporated within a predetermined time period.
