  • Patent number: 7572782
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation and its use. The pharmaceutical formulation contains peroxidic species or reaction products resulting from oxidation of an alkene, such as geraniol, by an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent, such as ozone; a penetrating solvent, such as dimethylsulfoxide (“DMSO”); a dye containing a chelated metal, such as hematoporphyrin; and an aromatic redox compound, such as benzoquinone. The pharmaceutical formulation is used to effectively stimulate bone regeneration and increase osteoblastic activity in a patient.

  • Patent number: 4898170
    Abstract: A surgical knife, especially for use by ophthalmic surgeons for performing radial keratotomy, comprises an elongate body and a head portion which receives a diamond blade and within which the blade is displaceable forwards and backwards lengthwise of the knife along a line extending at an angle of inclination to the axis of the knife body. The angle of inclination is preferably about 20.degree.. The knife preferably incorporates a micrometer setting mechanism, adjustment of which is transmitted through the knife body to a piston located in the head portion and arranged to make contact with a knife holder for the blade. The transmission chain from micrometer to piston may include a cranked element acting on the piston.
