Abstract: A wound care product in the form of a gel is provided, and contains protein from egg shell membrane. The gel is made by first hydrating the egg shell membrane powder and then adding carbomer to partially neutralize the egg shell membrane. The neutralization is completed with the addition of triethanolamine, so as to form a homogeneous gel with a smooth consistency. An antimicrobial compound and a tissue growth accelerator are added to the gel. The gel, infused with egg shell membrane, is applied directly to the wound tissue to form a barrier trapping the active ingredients adjacent the wound site and inhibiting penetration of outside bacteria into the wound site.

Abstract: The hand-held vibration anesthesia tool of the present invention includes a housing in which a battery, vibratory motor, switch and light source are enclosed. A switch turns the motor and light on and off. A tip extends from the housing for touching a patient's skin. When the motor is actuated, vibrations are transmitted through the tip to the skin to create an anesthetized zone. The light defines a target for the needle or other treatment adjacent the tip.

Abstract: A hand-held vibrating tool is provided to create an anesthesia effect on a patient's skin when the tool is touched to the skin. The tool includes a body which is easily grasped by the user and a removable tip having forked prongs for touching the skin. A small electric motor is housed within the body and is powered by batteries, with an on/off switch to control actuation of the motor. The motor generates vibrations which are transmitted through the prongs to the patient's skin, and thereby create a numbed zone prior to a medical procedure, such as an injection. Interchangeable tips are provided with differently spaced prongs to create smaller or larger anesthetized zones for the patient.
