  • Publication number: 20240108648
    Abstract: One aspect of the present application relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a sulfated glycosaminoglycan having an average molecular weight ranging from 3,000 to 15,000 Daltons, a skin penetrating agent, where the skin penetrating agent promotes transdermal penetration of the sulfated glycosaminoglycan when applied to intact skin surfaces, and a pharmaceutical carrier for topical application, where the pharmaceutical carrier is mixed with the sulfated glycosaminoglycan and the skin penetrating agent. This composition is useful in carrying out a method of treating a subject for pain, joint stiffness, soft tissue injury, connective tissue disorders, and/or muscle soreness.

  • Patent number: 10112308
    Abstract: A vacuum cup assembly that generates a local vacuum using a prime mover that may be an electrical motor or a solenoid. The vacuum cup may have one or more ports to remove and vent air between the cup and the atmosphere. The prime mover drives a piston or a flexible membrane, which may be a diaphragm, through one or more reciprocating cycles to generate the local vacuum. The vacuum cup assembly may be used to form a temporary attachment to a work piece, the act on the work piece, such as by moving the work piece, and then release the work piece from the vacuum cup assembly. The vacuum cup assembly disclosed herein is self-contained inasmuch as the assembly may have a power source, such as a battery, located on a housing. This makes its operation quiet and effective.
