Phenol with color

Abstract

1. Liquefied (or Liquified) Phenol USP (Carbolic Acid Liquefied) is Phenol maintained in a liquid condition by the presence of 10.0% water. Its topical medical use includes P & A (Phenol & Alcohol) procedures, and other procedures necessitating an anesthetic antiseptic, solvent, or cauterant. In treating ingrown nails, it is applied to the nail bed to prevent regrowth of nails. As a colorless solution, it can be difficult to see where an application is going during a procedure. Phenol with color eliminates this problem by creating a readily visible way of identifying where the application is going. 2. The patent calls for recognition of our innovation to mix Phenol with color for visual enhancement for physicians or others. “Phenol with color” is thus the innovation being patented and not the actual name of a product.
