A composition and method for chlorine dioxide production through reaction-diffusion chemistry that facilitates the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide, wherein a dry solid composition of hydroxymethanesulfinic acid monosodium salt dihydrate (abbreviated HMS) and a chlorine dioxide precursor are activated via the addition or absorption of water to produce chlorine dioxide. The dry solid chemical composition comprises dry, safe, transportable reagents that integrate with polymeric materials such as packaging and superabsorbent and stimuli-responsive hydrogel polymers to combine with water to produce chlorine dioxide.

The present invention provides materials and methods for forming an interface between an appliance and living tissue using a foamed elastomeric material which contacts the tissue or similar surfaces. The elastomeric material is in the form of a durable and washable material that, when applied to or implanted in living tissue or similar surfaces, displaces and flows in to non-conforming areas creating an air and/or water tight seal that substantially returns to an original shape when removed from the contact surface. The appliance may also include structural elements designed to optimize comfort, compliance and seal achieved through minimizing the pressure variation along the contact surface of the therapy device.

To prevent or suppress roughness of the skin of a wearer by configuring an absorbent article so as to quickly absorb a body fluid into an absorber, for example, configuring a diaper so as to quickly absorb loose stool into an absorber. An absorbent article includes a liquid-holding absorber and a liquid pervious top sheet on a skin-facing surface side of the absorber. An absorbent Q mainly containing glycerin is provided on an intermediate sheet that transfers at least a body fluid that has passed through the top sheet to the absorber.
