A drain cleaning device for removing debris from a drain is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the drain cleaning device includes a handle section; an elongated rod section connected to the handle section, the elongated rod section including one or more longitudinally extending ribs disposed along a length thereof, the one or more longitudinally extending ribs configured to add structural rigidity to the elongated rod section, and the one or more longitudinally extending ribs further configured to facilitate the cleaning of grime from a side of a drain pipe; and a tip section connected to the elongated rod section, the tip section including a plurality of hook elements disposed thereon, the plurality of hook elements configured to grab and collect debris from the drain pipe. In one embodiment, the plurality of hook elements comprise a plurality of injection-molded micro-hook elements.

A drain cleaning device with a combination of elements which quickly removes upper-drain hair clogs from bathroom drains without taking the drain apart, and without handling offensive clogs. The drain cleaning device includes a handle section and a disposable drain cleaning section which snap together. The drain cleaning section has an extended rod portion with a multistrand wire core covered with a layer of thousands of miniature hair-grabbing, hook elements embedded in a textile material which covers the rod portion's entire length. In particular, the J-shaped hook elements are circumferentially oriented on the rod portion to snag hair while rotating the device. Also, a method of making the device by assembling the disposable rod section from a length of hook strip, a length of multistrand wire core, a hook-covered tip and a connector, which can then be connected to the handle section before use.

Two-part drain cleaning device and method of making

A method for providing immediate and sustained release of ibuprofen to a subject, including administering, in a single dose, a modified release formulation of ibuprofen including a hydrophilic polymer, ibuprofen in solid dosage form uniformly dispersed in the polymer, and a dissolution additive and an inert formulation additive dispersed in the polymer. The hydrophilic polymer comprises a first hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) having a viscosity of about 100 cps and a second HPMC having a viscosity between about 200 cps to about 50,000 cps. The solid dosage form is a monolithic tablet that demonstrates a mean ibuprofen plasma concentration in a subject greater than or equal to 6.4 &#x3bc;g/ml within two hours of administration, and also demonstrates a mean ibuprofen plasma concentration in a subject greater than or equal to 6.4 &#x3bc;g/ml for at least 8 hours after administration.

Method for providing modified release of ibuprofen

The present invention is a solid dosage form for oral administration of ibuprofen comprising a modified release formulation of ibuprofen which provides an immediate burst effect and thereafter a sustained release of sufficient ibuprofen to maintain blood levels at least 6.4 &#x3bc;g/ml over an extended period of at least 8 hours following administering of a single dose.

Modified release ibuprofen dosage form

A controlled release delivery system composition and method applied to humans and animals, for oral, anal or vaginal administration of a biological component is disclosed. Preferably, a bacterium is delivered, and more preferably the bacterium is probiotic in nature, however, the biological component is not limited to the bacterium.

Delivery system for biological component

A drain snake device having a rotatable handle crank at one end and an interlocking opposite end. The interlocking end is uniquely attachable to a corresponding attachment end portion of a disposable elongated snake segment. A slidable sleeve, that moves axially along the distal end of the handle between a locking position and a release position, fully engages or releases the disposable snake segment, respectively, and also simultaneously allows or blocks rotation of the handle crank, respectively. A kit containing a reusable handle and two or more uniquely corresponding snake segments is also provided.

Separable drain snake device and kit

A method of forming a tablet includes the steps of pre-blending an active pharmaceutical ingredient susceptible to tackiness and a blending additive with a first mixing effort to form a pre-blend mixture, wherein the first mixing effort and a second mixing effort, resulting from mixing at least one excipient with the pre-blend mixture, form a blend suitable for direct compression and compressing the blend to form the tablet. One way of achieving the first mixing effort is to pre-blend for an extended period of time. The method allows for directly compressing the blend without the need for a granulation step or roller compression. One such active pharmaceutical ingredient susceptible to tackiness is ibuprofen.
