A novel pressure bandage and transdermal patch is disclosed. The bandage comprises a (i) sanitary gauze layer to be applied against a wound; (ii) a compressed cellulose middle layer overlying said sanitary gauze layer; and (iii) an outside layer overlying said sanitary gauze and compressed cellulose layers and having adhesive wings which apply the bandage to the skin, whereby blood from the wound when leaking through the gauze layer will saturate the compressed cellulose material and thereby expand said cellulose layer against said sanitary gauge and outer layers, thereby applying active pressure to the wound while soaking up excess blood.

Bandages comprising compressed cellulose

A method for removing impurities and potentially toxic substances from cellulose is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: (a) immersing cellulose containing organic extractables in one or more acid baths so as to remove traces of organic extractables; (b) immersing the cellulose in a water bath; (c) immersing the compressed cellulose in an alkaline bath; and (d) sterilizing the treated cellulose using pressurized steam.

Process for treating compressed cellulose and applications thereof

A toothbrush assembly having a handle, a brush assembly releaseably interconnected with one end of the handle, and a massaging device connected with a second end of the handle. The brush assembly has a cylindrical base shaped to be received in a recess in the end of the handle and has an array of bristles arranged to provide a concave brushing surface. The massaging device includes a carrier having a container of liquid positioned in an internal cavity of the carrier. The container is positioned so as to be broken and dispense its contents when an end of a toothbrush is inserted into the carrier. A porous, absorbent material forms an outer surface of the device and absorbs the liquid for application to the gums of a user.

Gum massaging device with internal dispenser

A toothbrush assembly combining a toothbrush handle, a brush assembly releasably engageable with a head end of the handle, and an oral hygiene device releasably engageable with the tail end of the handle. The head end of the handle has a recess formed therein designed to provide a snap fit with a base of the brush assembly. The tail end of the handle is shaped to provide releasable engagement with a base of the oral hygiene device. The oral hygiene device can take numerous forms. For instance, the oral hygiene device can be used to apply an oral hygiene agent, such as a disclosing agent or a gum treating agent, or a herbal combination usable in oral hygiene, or a refreshing agent. Alternatively, the oral hygiene device can take the form of a stimulator.
