Abstract: An applicator and/or scrub saturated with a desired fluid is packaged in a sealed, liquid-impervious pouch. The liquid-carrying applicator or scrub is made from open-cell, polyurethane foam. A cylinder of the foam is mounted on a stick. The tip end of the foam applicator is fastened to the tip of the stick in a manner that creates a rounded smooth tip. The tip end of the foam applicator may be formed into a smaller brush-like shape.

Abstract: A device provides liquid material for application to a surface. The device comprises in order at least a carrying substrate, frangible microcapsules containing the liguid to be applied, a raised area around the microcapsules of a structurally rigid material, and a flexible, liquid permeable material overlaying the microcapsules. Pressure on the liquid permeable material ruptures the microcapsules and enables the liquid to flow through the permeable material.

Abstract: An adhesive bandage comprising a pad for absorbing a medicine which is separately stored from the pad by means of a medicine covering film interposed between the medicine and the adhesive tape or by means of a capsule enclosing the medicine in it until the bandage is applied to a local site of body such as wound, an adhesive tape carrying the pad thereon, a release sheet provided with a blister portion adapted to placing the medicine in it and attached to the adhesive tape in such a manner that the open side of the blister may face the adhesive tape.

Abstract: This invention provides a first-aid adhesive bandage comprising a bandage main body 1 having an adhesive surface covered with a peel cover 9, a pad 3 affixed to the main body 1 and a capsule 4 filled with a medicinal agent and supported on or over the pad 3 by the peel cover 9, the top wall 4a of the capsule 4 having a dented portion 7 extending laterally at the center thereof for bending, and a projection 8 extending downward from the center of the dented portion 7 to rupture a thin sheet 5 of capsule bottom, alternatively the top wall 4a having a pair of slanted blades extending from the center of the dented portion 7, the dented portion 7 being intended to facilitate bending of the capsule 4 and to allow the bending to achieve quick and extensive rupture of the thin sheet 5 of capsule bottom.

Abstract: A device for application of liquids to the surface of hands which permits slow release of the liquid on the surface of the hands and at the same time permits one to continue to work with their hands. The device is shaped like a glove or mit prepared from a thin flexible sheet material possessing a plurality of spaced enclosed small pouches containing the liquid to be applied to the hands, the glove or mit also having a wrist band which fits tightly around the wrist to prevent the treatment liquid from running onto the wrist while the gloves are in place. The pouches are either punctured prior to placing the glove on the hand, or are burst by application of external pressure on the device after being placed on the hand.

Abstract: A medicinal plaster comprising a covering layer, a reservior layer for an active compound and a detachable protective layer is disclosed. The covering is a substantially impermeable material comprising a textile sheet-like structure which is longitudinally and transversely elastic and is impregnated or coated with a polymer. Disposed on such a covering layer is a reservior layer comprising 1 to 30% by weight of active compound is an elastomeric mixture comprising a polyisobutylene polymer, a carrier such as a polybutadiene oil or liquid paraffin and a resin such as a polybutadiene oil or liquid paraffin and a resin such as a adhesion-conferring resin. Methods for the formation of such medicinal plaster and the use of such medicinal plaster, especially to apply large dosages of antiinflammatory materials are disclosed.

Abstract: To separate drugs within a chamber (66) formed beneath a dome-like housing (24) from another biomedically active substance, the chamber (66) is subdivided into two chamber portions (166, 266) by enclosing, within said chamber, a plastic bag (101) or by stretching a membrane (102) thereacross. The plastic bag, or the membrane, respectively, is ruptured upon depression of a terminal element (34) located at the apex of the dome of the housing. The subdivision of the chamber into two chamber portions prevents intermixing of the biologically active substances during storage. One of the chamber portions may retain liquids which are suitable in the article, and preferably are separated from another one of the liquids, such as a surfactant, and thus permits a wide choice, of, respectively, biologically active and other substances. Unintended leakage of the substances through a microporous membrane (76) closing off the housing is prevented by applying a cover strip across the membrane.

Abstract: This invention provides a first-aid adhesive bandage comprising a bandage main body having an adhesive coating on its upper surface, a pad affixed to the upper surface of the main body, a container having a medicinal agent enclosed therein and at least one peel sheet temporarily affixed to the adhesive coating of the main body and holding the container in place on or over the pad, the container including a blister portion, a flange extending horizontally outward from the lower end of the blister portion, a bottom wall made of a thin sheet and closing the bottom opening of the blister portion, and a projection extending downward from the central portion of the container top wall for rupturing the thin sheet by depressing the top wall, the blister portion having the medicinal agent enclosed therein, the projection having a lower end in contact or in proximity to the thin sheet, the peel sheet having the container held in position on or over the pad such that the blister portion of the container is exposed above

Abstract: The needle patch has a Huber needle which is encased between a pair of flexible transparent discs. The needle has a depending angled portion which extends through an aperture in the lower disc for insertion in an implanted vascular access device. The lower disc also has an adhesive layer for securement to the skin about the injection site while the upper disc has a projection defining a reservoir above the aperture of the lower disc for dispensing of an antiseptic ointment to the injection site. A rigid housing is integrally formed with the discs to provide a finger gripping portion for insertion of the needle.

Abstract: A combination package and applicator for a greasy and/or moist substance to be applied to the body or other articles includes a substance impregnated carrier pad firmly attached to an impermeable backing sheet. The package is closed either laminating a cover sheet of impermeable material over the carrier pad to form a sandwich-type package or by folding the backing sheet so that the carrier pad is located between opposed regions of the backing sheet and sealing the opposed edge regions of the backing sheet to each other. A grasping handle is provided by which the user can grasp the backing sheet after the package has been opened and apply the substance without the fingers coming into contact with the substance.

Abstract: Persons can be protected against rape or other bodily assault by wearing this device which includes a frangible capsule of repellant material such as ammonia or fluids of noxious smell. The capsule of material is quickly opened by slashing it with a manually operable knife which for example, may be operated by a pull cord. Passages leading from the container area for the capsule lead to the body of the wearer, so that the body of the wearer will be wetted or otherwise covered with the foul smelling or repellant material. The pull cord may be attached to the clothing of the wearer so that removal of the clothing by an attacker will automatically cut the capsule to release the fluid.
