  • POLYMERIC HYDROGEL FOR ACCELERATING WOUND HEALING
    Publication number: 20150250922
    Abstract: A method for creating a polymeric hydrogel for accelerating wound healing. The method includes applying at least one monomer solution to a tissue area of a patient. The monomer solution includes a monomer and a therapeutic agent. The method also includes initiating a polymerization process in the applied monomer solution to create a cross-linked network to deliver the therapeutic agent to the tissue area.

  • MULTI-COMPARTMENT MEMBRANE SEALED CONTAINER
    Publication number: 20150158632
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-compartment container. The multi-compartment container is used for the storage of food and non-food items. The multi-compartment container has a plurality of compartments that depends on the number of divider walls. The multi-compartment container has a removable divider that allows for the stacking of the container for shipping, prior to filling product into the container, and once filled with product, keeps the product separated. The multi-compartment container has a membrane seal and a lid.
