A formulation of a discrete liquid patch for the treatment of cold sores or viral lesions, including a combination of the adhesive layer and an active compound/ingredient such as antiviral agents, and/or amino acids, and/or minerals/vitamins. The adhesive layer of the discrete patch is substantially free of hydrocolloid particles. The adhesive layer does not include any backing layer to maintain the compliance of the patch with a thickness ranging from 5 microns to 1,300 microns. Wherein, the discrete patch of the invention is configured to apply to a viral lesion to maintain in contact therewith for a time effective to substantially complete re-epithelialization of the lesion.

The present invention is directed to a method of preparing dehydrated blood products, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a hydrated blood product; (b) spray-drying the hydrated blood product to produce a dehydrated blood product, as well as dehydrated blood products made by the method. The present invention is directed to a method of treating a patient suffering from a blood-related disorder, comprising the steps of: (a) rehydrating a therapeutic amount of the dehydrated blood products to produce a rehydrated therapeutic composition; and (b) administering the rehydrated therapeutic composition to the patient. The present invention is directed to a bandage or surgical aid comprising the dehydrated blood products described above.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for wound healing and tissue regeneration. The compositions of the present invention comprise amniotic membrane of the placenta. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises amniotic membrane powder or solubilized amniotic membrane (SAM). In some aspects, the composition is cell-free and rich in cytokines, extracellular matrix proteins, and other components that improve tissue regeneration. In one aspect, the composition is a hydrogel scaffold that comprises amniotic membrane. The present invention reduces contraction and improves blood vessel development in regenerating tissue.

A wound healing composition and method for treating acute and chronic wounds and skin conditions includes a wound healing composition or formulation including a mixture of buckwheat honey, methylglyoxal and bacitracin.

A composition has hyaluronic acid and one or more materials as an admixture. The hyaluronic acid is derived from a fascia tissue layer of an alligator, the fascia layer located below a hide and above muscle tissue. The one or more materials as the admixture to the hyaluronic acid can be a carrier, diluent or excipient. The hyaluronic acid is extracted from the fascia tissue layer in the form of an oil having an oily viscosity with a molecular weight of 30,000 or greater. The oil extracted includes the hyaluronic acid and includes sodium or salts of hyaluronic acid. The oil extracted is anti-inflammatory to human tissue.

The present invention relates to the strain of Lactobacillus plantarum NCIMB 43029, the strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCIMB 43030, a composition with both antibacterial and re-epithelializing action which includes Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus and optionally Streptococcus thermophilus and/or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens intended to be used as a medicament for the re-epithelialisation of lesions or wounds, a bandage comprising said composition and kits comprising such a composition.
