There is provided a medicine applicator that can attachably and detachably hold a treatment article and that can provide as large an effective area as possible of the treatment article used for application. A medicine applicator 100 includes: an arm 10 extending in a longitudinal direction, of which one end portion side is a grip portion 11; and a pedestal portion 222 disposed on the arm 10 to be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the arm 10. The medicine applicator 100 is provided with a pair of pressing tools 130 that attachably and detachably hold an application member 300 on the pedestal portion 222, and the pair of pressing tools 130 include a repulsive tool 292 that generates a pressing force to bring the application member 300 into contact with the pedestal portion 222.

A gel application system includes an applicator body having a first surface, a second surface and at least one opening extending through the applicator body from the first surface to the second surface. At least one gel packet is attached to the first surface of the applicator and defines an interior volume containing gel. The interior volume of the gel packet is in fluid flow communication with the at least one opening. The at least one gel packet is made of a material that has sufficient flexibility to allow a user to squeeze and compress the interior volume and expel gel through the at least one opening, by applying a compression force on the gel packet.

New systems, methods and devices for aiding in the decolonization of bacterial infections in human and animal patients are provided. In some embodiments, a specialized decolonization, cleaning and infection prevention kit is provided, including a container with compartment(s) that include sub-compartment sections and GUI tools including specialized non-verbal instructions that guide the patient to use combinations of components of the sub-compartments in an infection prevention or decolonization regimen. In some embodiments, each such section provides a variety of decolonization and/or cleaning components for use decolonizing different parts of a user's body and/or environment at particular treatment intervals. In some embodiments, each of the compartment(s) and/or sub-compartment(s) corresponds with an instruction and timing for the use of the components within the compartment or sub- compartment. In some embodiments, a specialized computer system aids in the management of such a regimen, with specialized tracking and coverage-enhancing techniques.

The present invention relates to a fluid applicator apparatus and methods of using the apparatus. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus for storing and dispensing solutions (e.g., fluid solutions of any kind) (e.g., liquid medicaments and/or sterilization solutions) to a surface of a subject.

The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a topical fluid application apparatus comprising a solution of glucosamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; an article of manufacture that is damp or impregnated with a solution of glucosamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; a kit comprising the topical fluid application apparatus and/or the article of manufacture disclosed; and methods of using the topical fluid application apparatus, the article of manufacture, and/or the kit.

The present invention regards an applicator device for the preparation and application of at least one medical substance, preferably a coloured liquid, comprising: a hollow chamber having a hosting end and an opposite distal end in communication with means for contact with the patient; a cartridge slidingly inserted into said hollow chamber, containing at least one first medical substance, and having a first end external to the hollow chamber, and a second end completely inserted into the hollow chamber; a breaking means positioned at the distal end, capable of establishing a fluid communication between the internal of the cartridge and the means for contact with the patient; said second end being sealed by a filled double layer closure system containing at least one second substance, preferably coloured, mixable and/or soluble with the first medical substance contained in the cartridge.

An antiseptic solution comprising a pH-dependent antimicrobial agent, the pH-dependent antimicrobial agent having an operative pH range, wherein the solution has a pH on storage that is lower than the operative pH range. Applicators for applying the antiseptic solution and methods of using the antiseptic solution and applicators are also provided.

The present invention relates to multi-chamber containers. Specifically, the multi-chamber containers comprise, generally, a first container having a swab or applicator contained therein and a second container having a solution therein. In various embodiments, a first container may comprise a fracture recess for breaking and removing the swab or applicator, and a second container may further comprise a fracture recess for opening and exposing the solution. In embodiments, first and second containers are disposed separately, or connectedly side-by-side. In embodiments, a second container is contained within a first container.

A stick applicator for applying a liquid stored in a hard ampoule, comprising a hollow plastic stick body, designed for receiving the ampoule and having a closed end and an open end, the wall of which is sufficiently flexible to allow the ampoule held in the plastic stick body to be broken without using an implement and thereby let the liquid out into the interior of the plastic stick body, and comprising an applicator head, which is fitted on the open end of the plastic stick body and comprises a foam, felt or fibre body, wherein the plastic stick body has at least in certain portions a separate sheathing layer to increase its perforation resistance to ampoule fragments and near its open end retaining means for securely holding the applicator head and/or retaining means for securely holding the ampoule inside it.

Provided herein is a surgical skin preparation device for applying an antiseptic composition to skin of a patient, including an applicator configured to absorb the antiseptic composition, the applicator having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface configured to apply the antiseptic composition to the skin of the patient and an indicator including a first layer of a first material configured to wick the antiseptic composition, the first material being opaque in a first state and transparent or translucent in a second state and a second layer of a non-wettable material, the second layer having at least one indicia that is visible to a user when the first layer is in the second state.
