The invention relates to porous absorbent Composite Material, which may be used e.g. in the form of a plug or tampon, for instance for controlling bleeding, wound closure, prevent tissue adhesion and/or support tissue regeneration. The invention provides a hydrophilic Self-Dispersive, fragmentable and Bio-Absorbable Porous Composite foams, suitable for packing antrum or other cavities of the body, comprising of composite of polymers, which polymer preferably comprises C(O)O; NH2/3+; OH; CH2OCH2C(O)O groups as functional or CHO (e.g. C2H4O; C6H10O5; C6H8O6); CHNO (e.g. C8H13NO5); OCC (e.g. OCH2-CH2); C(O)N groups in the backbone of the polymers e.g. gelatin, chitosan, collagen, alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, keratin, cellulose.

This invention relates to a multi-layer wound site dressing specifically designed to treat chronic wounds and simultaneously block external pathogens from infecting the wound site from the environment. The said wound dressing comprises five layers; each layer performs a specific functionality in healing and protecting the wound site. The said layers of wound care dressing comprise (i) a permeable non-adherent woven or non-woven membrane in contact with wound site, (ii) a nanofibrous composite layer made of superabsorbent, activated carbon and a polymer (iii) a hydrophobic insulating membrane which is permeable to air with an adhesive edge, (iv) a nanofibrous membrane made of polymer and activated carbon hosting functional germicidal ions, and (v) an air permeable non-woven membrane with adhesive edge. The said layers are compounded by pressing and coating to make a comprehensive multi-layer wound care dressing product.

The present invention includes the composition and manufacturing of a product to treat various types of infections, and diseases ailments. The invention embodies a disposable absorbent or nonabsorbent article comprising an unbound/freely associating adsorbent porous carbonaceous material for the entrapment and/or treatment of pathogens and adverse biological by-products. The product form includes three dimensional carriers such as tampons, panty liners, incontinence pads, diapers, sanitary towels, swabs, cotton balls, pouches, and/or plugs, which contain adsorbent porous carbonaceous material that effectively reduces and/or eliminates adverse situations sourcing from pathogens and harmful biological by-products, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The article is used to treat yeast infections, vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, tooth infections, abscess, nail-bed and cuticle infections, and other ailments by way of internal insertion and/or completely covering of the body cavity, mucous membrane, and/or affected areas, creating a clear and direct path for contact with pathogens and adverse biological by-products.

THIS INVENTION IS A NOVEL PRACTICAL WAY OF ADMINISTERING PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION COMPRISING CONJUGATED ESTROGEN CREAM IN VARIOUS DOSAGES, TO BE GIVEN VAGINALLY THROUGH INSERTION OF A DISPOSABLE TAMPON FOR THE TREATMENT OF VULVOVAGINAL ATROPHY, VAGINAL DRYNESS AND SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN.

The present invention relates to a morpho-anatomic flexible web (1) intended to be introduced into a vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50) of a human or animal, being provided with means of removal (4) from said vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50), said web (1) having a proximal end which corresponds to the part of the web (1) that first contacts said cavity (40,50) and a distal end which corresponds to the part of the web (1) that last enters said cavity (40,50) and said web (1) comprising two sheets (16,17) that at least partly overlap, defining an overlapping area, wherein said first and second sheets (16,17) are fixed to one another by means of at least two stopping elements (11,12,13), defining at least one pouch (10) in the interior of the overlapping area for holding a substance (60), and wherein said web (1) further comprises at least one blocking element (20) for retaining an applicator (30) in a substantially fixed position relative to the web (1), said blocking element (20) having at least one blocking side (22) which is perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the web (1) into the vaginal or rectal cavity (40,50), preferably said blocking side (22) being situated below the mouth of the pouch (10) such that part of the web may fold over said mouth of the pouch to completely close it. The present invention also relates to the use of the web (1) for retention of bodily fluids from said cavities or for delivery of a substance such as a microbicide gel (for example anti-HIV microbicide), or a probiotic or both.

A menstrual sanitary sponge for gynecological disease treatment, comprising a sponge body. The shape of the sponge body is cylindrical. The top of the sponge body is hemispherical. An annular, spiral, hemispherical, or hook-shaped groove is provided on the surface of the sponge body. The sponge body is a compressed medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge.

The present invention relates to hygienic products such as sanitary pads and tampons, patient/adult diapers and baby diapers which are made antimicrobial. In the present invention, a mixture of glucopon, chlorhexidine gluconate and triclosan is obtained from the boron compounds called sodium borate, zinc borate, sodium perborate tetrahydrate, borax pentahydrate and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate; and this mixture provides antifungal, anticandidal, antibacterial and antiviral properties to the woven or non-woven textile products and hygienic products. Additionally, the said hygienic products are made hydrophilic by means of the invention.

A menstrual tampon includes a sponge structure having a prewetted natural material, a special tampon form, and an outer fluid-impervious layer. The tampon also includes an applicator for easy insertion of a tampon, but can be used without an applicator, and a string or ring for convenient removal.

The present invention is a vaginal device platform comprising an insertable therapeutic delivery device for delivering one or more therapeutic agents, comprising any of pharmaceutical, medicinal, or holistic components, directly to the mucosa of the vaginal canal and a means of recovering the device.
