Abstract: The invention relates to a preserved amniotic membrane, in particular a vacuum-dried amniotic membrane. It also relates to uses of vacuum-dried amniotic membrane and methods for making a vacuum-dried amniotic membrane. A method of processing an amniotic membrane to provide a vacuum-dried amniotic membrane, comprising the step of vacuum-drying the amniotic membrane Amniotic membrane (AM) is the inner most extraembryonic membrane that surrounds the foetus in a sac of amniotic fluid, functioning as a protective barrier to ascending infection and trauma during pregnancy.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a sterile formulation and method for treating an ear infection, especially otomycosis and otitis externa, by administering a one-time only treatment comprising an antibiotic, and antifungal, and an optional anti-inflammatory in a thick, otic carrier. In one embodiment, the sterilization comprises e-beam irradiating ingredients the formulation while heat-sterilizing other ingredients before combining under sterile condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a formulation and method for treating an ear infection, especially otomycosis and otitis externa, by administering a one-time only treatment comprising an antibiotic, and antifungal, and an anti-inflammatory in a thick, otic carrier. In one embodiment, the formulation comprises a therapeutically effective amount of active ingredients including a fluoroquinolone, a triazole antifungal, a thiocarbamate antifungal, a corticosteroid and a polyene antifungal, as well as a thickener such that the formulation, upon applying to the infected ear canal, gels and remains in the ear canal, continuously releasing the active ingredients for several days, achieving consistent complete (98-100%) clinical resolution of otomycosis and otitis externa in a single application.
