Title: Innovations of David S. Lerner in Antimicrobial Materials
Introduction
David S. Lerner is an accomplished inventor based in Boca Raton, FL (US). He holds three patents that focus on the development of antimicrobial materials. His work has significant implications for medical applications, particularly in wound care.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Materials with covalently-bonded, nonleachable, polymeric antimicrobial surfaces." This invention relates to methods and compositions for materials that feature a non-leaching coating with antimicrobial properties. The coating is applied to substrates such as gauze-type wound dressings. Covalent, non-leaching, non-hydrolyzable bonds are formed between the substrate and the polymer molecules that create the coating. A high concentration of antimicrobial groups on multi-length polymer chains, along with relatively long average chain lengths, contributes to an absorbent or superabsorbent surface with a high level of antimicrobial effect.
Another notable patent is "Intrinsically bactericidal absorbent dressing and method of fabrication." This patent discloses absorbent dressings, including highly-absorbent dressings that have antimicrobial polymer attached via non-siloxane bonds. Applications for these intrinsically bactericidal absorbent dressings include bandages, wound dressings, and sanitary napkins. The method of manufacture and use of these dressings is also disclosed and claimed.
Career Highlights
David S. Lerner has worked with several organizations throughout his career. He has been associated with Quick-Med Technologies, Inc. and the University of Florida Research Foundation, Incorporated. His contributions to these organizations have helped advance the field of antimicrobial materials.
