US Patent:

41530551, May 8, 1979
Filed:

Apr 25, 1977
Appl. No.:

5/790797
Inventors:

Donald E. Etes - Crystal Lake IL
Assignee:

Northern Illinois Research, Inc. - Wonder Lake IL
International Classification:

F23H 900
F23H 1124
F24B 108
C08K 516
US Classification:

128156
Abstract:

A plastic composition adapted for use in contact with the skin, especially in the form of a pad applied to the skin, is manufactured by reacting a mixture of acrylamide-beta methacryloxyethyltrimethylammonium methyl sulfate copolymer, up to about 10 parts of acrylamide-sodium acrylate copolymer per part of said acrylamide-beta methacryloxyethyltrimethylammonium methyl sulfate copolymer, said acrylamide-sodium acrylate copolymer containing up to about 4% of sodium acrylate, and ethylene glycol in an amount sufficient to form a semisolid gel, said proportions being by weight. Useful embodiments of the pad include a sealing pad for an ostomy appliance and a skin-covering pad incorporated in a bandage.

US Patent:

41824784, Jan 8, 1980
Filed:

Dec 21, 1978
Appl. No.:

5/971938
Inventors:

Donald E. Etes - Crystal Lake IL
Assignee:

North American Laboratories, Inc. - Crystal Lake IL
International Classification:

B65D 3324
US Classification:

229 62
Abstract:

An improved disposable emesis container comprising a bag with its upper end enclosing the wide bottom of a funnel formed of paperboard-like material. The containers are mass-produced in a flattened collapsed condition. In use the funnel is squeezed open and after use generally elliptical complementary panels formed on the upper end of the funnel are folded over on each other to provide a self-retaining closure. The lower end of the funnel has downwardly arcuate score lines in the opposite sides which upon being pressed together following formation of the self-retaining closure, act in cooperation with the closure to close together the opposing bottom edges of the wide bottom of the funnel thereby providing a closed valve within the upper end of the bag so as to retain contents of the bag therein.

US Patent:

40785688, Mar 14, 1978
Filed:

Oct 12, 1976
Appl. No.:

5/731744
Inventors:

Donald E. Etes - Crystal Lake IL
James D. Finch - Crystal Lake IL
Assignee:

Northern Illinois Research, Inc. - Wonder Lake IL
International Classification:

A61F 544
US Classification:

128283
Abstract:

A plastic composition prepared by the reaction of a non-ionic water soluble acrylic polyelectrolyte and a cationic water soluble acrylic polyelectrolyte with propylene glycol and incorporating or conducting the reaction in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone with or without water. In one embodiment a plastic composition adapted for use in contact with the skin, especially in the form of a pad, seal or bandage is prepared by reacting a mixture of: (1) acrylamide-beta methacrylyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium sulfate copolymer; (2) polyacrylamide; (3) propylene glycol; and (4) polyvinyl pyrrolidone. The plastic composition can contain glycerin in varying amounts to enhance the "feel" and flexibility of the final product. Water can be incorporated with the polyvinyl pyrrolidone to reduce the gel time and facilitate the molding process. Useful embodiments of the composition having the proper gel structure and adhesiveness for use as molded seals or pads in ostomy appliances and skin-covering pads incorporated in a bandage are disclosed.

US Patent:

40541401, Oct 18, 1977
Filed:

Jul 31, 1975
Appl. No.:

5/600845
Inventors:

Donald E. Etes - Crystal Lake IL
International Classification:

A61F 544
US Classification:

128283
Abstract:

An ostomy appliance for mounting around the stoma opening of a patient and embodying a receptacle of the disposable or throw-away type for receiving drainage from the stoma of a patient, with the receptacle being readily removable, but effectively mounted on a supporting member which is readily attachable to a pat ent's body, and the appliance embodyi g novel pad structure which is effective to protect a stoma, or the like, from injury, and which is also effective to afford a seal between the appliance and the patient's body for preventing or reducing seepage from the stoma opening onto the skin of the patient.
