Abstract
A method of rendering antiseptic a packaged solid admixed emulsion for treating bleeding cuts and the like containing, dispersed therein, a bactericidal component that is solid at room temperature, such as cinnamic alcohol, but melts or liquefies at blood temperature upon contacting the blood, comprising elevating the temperature of the packaged emulsion and/or contacting with moisture briefly to commence such liquefying to wet the exterior surface of the solid emulsion, and with concurrent release of bactericidal vapor within the package, and the resulting antiseptic solid emulsion products produced thereby.
Claims10
A method of antiseptically packaging articles for room-temperature dry storage, the method comprising inserting a bactericidal-component-dispersed solidified emulsion complex having surfaces that liquefy upon contacting human or animal blood temperatures of about 98-100° F. in a living subject within the interior of an outer package;
- exposing said surfaces of the solidified emulsion and the interior of the package to said elevated temperatures and/or to moisture sufficient to start the liquefying of said bactericidal component of the solidified emulsion and the releasing of bactericidal vapor generated from said liquefying;
- and upon the start of vapor release, terminating said liquefying and returning the temperature to room temperature to resolidify said surfaces;
- and, if the package is not already sealed, sealing said package.
