Abstract
A disinfectant device including a pouch, the pouch including a first layer of material coupled to a second layer of material and defining a compartment therebetween. At least one dry reactant is retained within the compartment, the at least one dry reactant producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water. A wick is at least partially disposed within the compartment. At least one from the group consisting of the first layer of material and the second layer of material define an array of ports along a periphery of the pouch and an array of fluid conduits, the array of fluid conduits being proximal to the array of ports, offset from the array of ports, in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports.

A disinfectant device, comprising:
- a pouch, the pouch including a first layer of material coupled to a second layer of material and defining a compartment therebetween;
- at least one dry reactant retained within the compartment, the at least one dry reactant producing chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to water;
- a wick at least partially disposed within the compartment;
- and
- at least one from the group consisting of the first layer of material and the second layer of material defining an array of ports along a periphery of the pouch and an array of fluid conduits, the array of fluid conduits being:
- proximal to the array of ports;
- offset from the array of ports;
- and
- in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports;
- a width of each port in the array of ports is larger than a width of each conduit in the array of fluid conduits, each port in the array of ports defines a fluid pathway connecting each port with a corresponding fluid conduit, the fluid pathway defining a width less than the width each port in the array of ports and the width of each conduit in the array of fluid conduits.

- proximal to the array of ports;
- offset from the array of ports;
- and
- in fluid communication with the wick, the compartment, and the array of ports;
- a width of each port in the array of ports is larger than a width of each fluid conduit in the array of fluid conduits, and each port in the array of ports defines a fluid pathway connecting each port with a corresponding fluid conduit, and wherein the fluid pathway defines a width less than the width each port in the array of ports and the width of each fluid conduit in the array of fluid conduits;
- and
- the wick is affixed between the first layer of material and the second layer of material and spans an entirety of the pouch and divides the pouch into two equal halves.
