  • Functionalization of yarn and textile products
    Publication number: 20070026239
    Abstract: Methods of chemical and biochemical functionalization of yarn and textile products are described. A yarn or textile product is contacted with a linker molecule comprising two or more photochemically activatable chemical groups and a non-linker molecule having a desired property. Photochemical activation of the chemical groups causes covalent attachment of the non-linker molecule to the yarn or textile product by means of the linker molecule in a single step. The methods are particularly useful for immobilization to yarn or textile of biomolecules that are susceptible to denaturation. Use of linker molecules derived from proteins or polysaccharides further minimizes denaturation of the biomolecule.

  • Medicinal product with a textile component
    Patent number: 6737149
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medicinal product with a textile component such as a wound compress having a surface containing a multiplicity of openings arranged in at least two hole patterns. The diameter of one opening of one hole pattern deviates from the diameter of an opening of another hole pattern by about at least a factor of 5. Better wound healing is achieved by adapting the structural and mechanical characteristics of the medicinal product to the characteristics of the target tissue.

  • Antisun product
    Patent number: 5486353
    Abstract: An antisun product which contains, besides cosmetic auxiliaries and sunscreen agents and/or sun blocks, an effective amount of deproteinated haemodialysate of mammalian blood or an active fraction thereof results in improving the condition of the skin and in reducing or avoiding the adverse effects of exposure to the sun. The composition is suitable for both prophylaxis and aftercare.
