May 31, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/164365

Inventors:

James Franklin Drake - Minneapolis MN, US
Mark Harold Ereth - Rochester MN, US
Lynn R. Skow - North Branch MN, US

Assignee:

MedaFor, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61F 13/00

US Classification:

602 48, 424443, 424446, 424447, 424448, 424449, 604304, 604307

Abstract:

A delivery system for the delivery of flowable medicinal, therapeutic or medicine materials has a strip with flowable material contained and restrained therein. A removable seal is provided, so that when the removable seal is removed, the flowable material will flow from a storage area onto a site selected for treatment. The removable seal may be provided with additional features such as absorbent coatings, or additional disinfectants coatings useful in preparing the wound surface to receive the flowable wound treatment material. A preferred composition is a system, article and method for the enhancement of clotting in wounds with extravascular blood flow, especially where the surface of the tissue has been broken.

US Patent:

7517355, Apr 14, 2009

Filed:

Sep 8, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/222444

Inventors:

James Franklin Drake - Minneapolis MN, US
Lynn R. Skow - North Branch MN, US

Assignee:

Medafor, Incorporated - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

A61B 17/08
A61D 1/00

US Classification:

606213

Abstract:

Masses of particles are structurally supported by the application of vacuum through a support surface having holes thereon that are smaller than the average diameter of the particle mass that is to be supported. The reduced pressure structurally supports particles on the support surface. The mass of particles tends is so well supported that it tends retain its shape unless additional forces are applied. The system comprises the vacuum applicator (e. g. , pump), a vacuum carrying system and the support surface. When a mass of particles is supported on the support surface under vacuum, the particles can be carried to a target surface, the mass of particles pressed against the target surface, the mass conforming to the target surface, and the vacuum reduced or stopped, depositing the particle mass onto the surface in excellent shape compliance with that surface.

Filed:

Oct 13, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/580372

Inventors:

James Drake - Minneapolis MN, US
Ann Gronda - New Brighton MN, US

International Classification:

A61K 9/14

US Classification:

424046000, 424489000

Abstract:

Compositions and methods use the gel-forming properties of microporous particles to create useful formulations combining two free-flowing materials to produce a hydrogel mass. The free-flowing materials preferably provide dry microporous particles (preferably as an aerosol) that may contain additional agents, and a second composition of a fluid material which is an aqueous solution of one or more high molecular weight polymers capable of forming a hydrogel upon further concentration and/or reaction. The hydrogels can be preferably formed on a surface by spraying the two compositions as fluids together in the proper ratio onto the surface.

Appl. No.:

11/580598

Inventors:

James Drake - Minneapolis MN, US
Ann Gronda - New Brighton MN, US

International Classification:

A61K 35/14
A61K 31/715

US Classification:

424532000, 514054000, 514059000

Abstract:

A composition, method, and use of microporous particles such as polysaccharide hemostat particle gels activates platelet rich plasma (PRP) or other platelet-containing substances. The composition may contain microporous polysaccharaide hemostats (MPH) mixed with platelet-rich plasma, platelet-poor plasma, blood, or the like. The method may contain mixing the MPH with platelet-rich plasma or other platelet-containing substance either by hand, in a device, or by applying the MPH directly to the wound before or after application of the platelet-containing substance. Alternatively, MPH can by applied directly to the bleeding wound, using the blood as a source of platelets.

US Patent:

43265243, Apr 27, 1982

Filed:

Sep 30, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/192297

Inventors:

James F. Drake - Minneapolis MN
G. Phillip Rambosek - Shafer Township, Chisago County MN

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

A61M 700

US Classification:

128260

Abstract:

A solid dose ballistic projectile formed entirely of a cohesive mixture comprising biologically active material, in the form of grindable solid particles having an average diameter between about 7 and 25 micrometers, and biologically inert binder, and capable of withstanding the stresses imparted thereon when the projectile is propelled ballistically from a barrel and implanted in the flesh of a living animal.

Appl. No.:

6/661661

Inventors:

James F. Drake - Minneapolis MN

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

C12Q 136
C12Q 138
C12Q 102

US Classification:

435 24

Abstract:

A method of detecting a beta-lactam antibiotic in a liquid sample comprising the steps of: (a) forming a reaction medium by adding the sample to a predetermined amount of a dry reagent formulation comprising a D,D-carboxypeptidase, a substrate for said D,D-carboxypeptidase containing a carboxy-terminal D-alanine, and a reagent system which produces a color change in the presence of D-alanine; (b) incubating said reaction medium for a predetermined period; (c) adding a quenching material to terminate the reaction; (d) observing the color of the reaction medium. A kit for carrying out this method is also disclosed.
