A method of treating snoring, includes injecting least one of a monomer composition, a polymer solution and a microparticle solution into a patient's soft palate, optionally with a least one of an additional medicament, bioactive agent, sclerotic agent or stiffening agent. The injected composition, if not already polymerized prior to injection, is allowed to polymerize to form a polymer within the soft palate, thereby stiffening the soft palate, rendering it resistant to palatal flutter.

Compositions and medical procedure to treat snoring

A method of treating or preventing tinea pedis, commonly known as Athlete's Foot, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to tinea pedis, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a foot care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.

Adhesive treatment for tinea pedis

A method of treating or preventing tinea corporis, commonly known as ringworm of the skin, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to tinea corporis, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.

Adhesive treatment for tinea corporis

A disposable applicator includes a generally tubular applicator body having a closed proximal end and an open distal end and a frangible vial inside. The proximal end is covered by a drying swab while the distal end is covered by an applicator swab that is in open communication with the interior of the applicator body. Within the applicator body is a frangible vial containing a biomedically useful liquid composition, such as an &agr;-cyanoacrylate adhesive, a medicament, or both. The applicator is useful for applying liquid compositions to target sites such as tissue, particularly sites of topical pathology, such as stomatitis lesions.

Applicator for dispensable liquids

A method of treating or preventing tinea cruris, commonly known as Jock Itch, includes applying a polymerizable monomer adhesive composition to an area of skin afflicted with or susceptible to tinea cruris, optionally with at least one of an additional anti-fungal agent or a skin care additive, and allowing the polymerizable monomer composition to polymerize to form a polymer film over the area of skin.
