Abstract
A sterile or non-sterile flavored monomeric adhesive composition includes a flavoring additive and a monomer. The composition can be applied, for example, to skin or the inside of the mouth. A method of making a sterile, flavored adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a flavoring additive in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The flavored adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as α-cyanoacrylates.
Claims35
The monomeric adhesive composition comprising a polymerizable 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomer and at least one of methyl salicylate and menthol.
A monomeric adhesive composition comprising a polymerizable 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomer and a flavoring additive, wherein the flavoring additive is selected from the group consisting of anethole, banana distillate, benzaldehyde, cold pressed grapefruit oil, cold pressed lemon oil, cucumber distillate, honey distillate, menthol, alkyl salicylate, monosodium glutamate, peppermint oil, peppermint spirit, rose water, and oil of wintergreen.
A method of making a monomeric adhesive composition, comprising mixing an additive with a polymerizable 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomer, wherein the additive is selected from the group consisting of anethole, banana distillate, benzaldehyde, cold pressed grapefruit oil, cold pressed lemon oil, cucumber distillate, honey distillate, menthol, alkyl salicylate, monosodium glutamate, peppermint oil, peppermint spirit, rose water, and oil of wintergreen.
A method of making a sterile adhesive composition comprising:
- placing a mixture of a polymerizable 1,1-disubstituted ethylene monomer and an additive in a container,
- sealing said container, and
- sterilizing the mixture in the container,
- wherein said additive is selected from the group consisting of anethole, banana distillate, benzaldehyde, cold pressed grapefruit oil, cold pressed lemon oil, cucumber distillate, honey distillate, menthol, alkyl salicylate, monosodium glutamate, peppermint oil, peppermint spirit, rose water, and oil of wintergreen.
