Abstract: There is provided a method for reducing microbial load at a site on the skin of a subject. The method comprises applying a dressing over the site on the skin of the subject at which a medical procedure that involves breaching the skin is to be performed. As used in the method, the dressing comprises a self-adhesive silicone gel sheet comprising at least about 95 wt % silicone and up to about 5 wt % of particulates of an antimicrobial dispersed in the silicone. The dressing is applied with the silicone gel sheet contacting the skin of the subject and is left in place to allow the antimicrobial to diffuse onto the site.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed which allows the aggregation of the demands of various buyers, providing an incentive for suppliers to bid to supply those demands in an auction. The system and method operates by scanning a database which contains a listing of goods or services sought by various people or entities. Thereafter, similar goods or services are grouped together and presented to various vendors. The vendors are given the opportunity to bid on the group of similar goods or services. Such a bid may vary from the originally purchased goods or services as long as the bid is within a predetermined range. The vendor which presents the optimum bid within a predetermined period of time is selected as the provider of the goods or services and proceeds to supply the goods or services at the bid upon amount.
