Abstract: A filter mask for filtering air inhaled and exhaled from the mouth and nostrils while providing a secure fit and comfort to the wearer is provided. The filter mask has upper and lower edges which are provided with at least one malleable stiffener for conforming to the shape of the wearer's nose and cheek area and/or the lower jaw and chin area. In some embodiments, the filter masks further comprises a malleable stiffening member configured to conform the filter material to at least a chin portion and a jaw portion of the face. In some embodiments, the malleable stiffener can have a bend portion, which allows the wearer of the mask to know which part, center and side of the mask is to be properly placed on the nose and cheek area. The masks provide excellent filtration and provide a secure and comfortable fit to the wearer.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided that control spread of pathogens and prevent infections. In various embodiments, a liquid impervious substrate having an antimicrobial disposed thereon is provided. In one embodiment, a method of antimicrobially treating a substrate is provided, comprising contacting the substrate with an effective amount of a water stable composition, comprising i) water; ii) a product that is formed by reacting in water: a) an organosilane of the formula Rn SiX4?n where n is an integer of from 0 to 3; each R is, independently, a nonhydrolyzable organic group; and each X is, independently, a hydrolyzable group, with b) a polyol containing at least three hydroxy groups, wherein all of the hydroxy groups are separated by at least three intervening atoms, wherein the polyol is not hydroxyethyl cellulose, wherein the product is a monomer, oligomer, or a combination thereof, and iii) a wetting agent in an amount of 0.

Abstract: A dental bib to be adhesively attached to a patient having desirable nominally-sized areas of adhesive deposits which nevertheless adhere as firmly as currently used large-sized deposits as a result of using recesses in an embossed pattern on the dental bib for making available increased amounts of adhesive, wherein the area over which the adhesive is spread and now also the depth of the adhesive contributes to achieving the attachment function.

Abstract: A dental bib adhesively secured to a patient in the use of which the adhesive is uncovered incident to use by being unfolded from the bib so that after its use the folding back covers the adhesive so that during disposal there is no inadvertent attachment to a trash container wall, or to trash therein, or like interferences with proper disposal.
