Products for treating inflammation, infections, disease, and malodors containing adsorbent porous carbonaceous material

Abstract

The present invention includes the composition and manufacturing of a non-prescription consumer product to treat odor and various types of inflammations, infections, and diseases. It embodies a disposable absorbent or nonabsorbent article containing unbound/freely associating adsorbent porous carbonaceous material for the entrapment and/or treatment of odor, pathogens, and adverse biological by-products. The product form includes but is not limited to tampons, panty liners, incontinence pads, diapers, sanitary towels, swabs, balls, casts, pouches, bandages and/or plugs, which contain adsorbent porous carbonaceous material that effectively reduces or eliminates adverse situations sourcing from pathogens and harmful biological by-products, including but not limited to fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The article is used to treat malodor, yeast infections, vaginitis, sexually transmitted diseases, field bullet wound holes, tooth infections, nail-bed and cuticle infections, among others by way of internal insertion and/or complete covering the body cavity, wound, and/or affected areas, creating a clear and direct path for contact with pathogens and adverse biological by-products.
