Publication number: 20120220959Abstract: This invention relates to an implement 1 for applying a volume of liquid to a treatment surface. The implement includes a support means 3 onto which is mounted a receptacle 2, the receptacle defining a reservoir space 4 which receives the liquid. The receptacle includes a wall 6 having a working surface that is used to spread the liquid over the treatment surface. The wall 6 is resiliently deformable so in use the working surface maintains contact with the treatment surface when spreading the liquid. The implement has a specific application in applying a transdermal lotion to the axilla area of the user. The invention also relates to a system for transdermal administration of a physiological active agent from a liquid composition and a method of conducting the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Inventors: Peter Bayly, Mark Simon Bayly, Magnus Ahlstrom, Adam Charles Watkinson

Patent number: 7556706Abstract: A container for a relatively brittle product, such as a haemostatic bandage, including a body and a lid for closing the container to hermetically seal the product therein. A sealing rim of the lid includes a layer of elastomeric material which sealingly engages with a sealing rim of the container body to provide a first, static, seal and a second, dynamic, seal. The elastomeric sealing material extends into the interior of the container beneath the lid to provide an elastomeric formation operative to engage an upper surface of the product within the container so as to apply a resilient bias thereto to hold a lower face of the product against the base of the container. The elastomeric formation thereby acts to inhibit substantial movement of the product within the container.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2006Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: CSL LimitedInventors: Gary Wayne Yewdall, Jillian Louise Isabel Mahon, Paul Murray Malouf, Mark Simon Bayly, Peter Kinglsey Bayly
