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

An adhesive composition includes a polymerizable adhesive monomer and at least one antioxidant stabilizer, and/or a container for storing said monomer composition that includes an antioxidant stabilizer. The antioxidant stabilizer provides superior stabilization and shelf-life of the composition and/or the container, and may enhance wound healing properties of the monomer composition.

Antioxidant enriched adhesive compositions and storage containers therefor

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 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.

Adhesive treatment for tinea cruris

An adhesive composition that contains a preservative is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include alkyl cyanoacrylate monomers. The preservative is preferably soluble in the monomer. The composition may optionally be sterilized by placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a preservative in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container.

Cyanoacrylate solutions containing preservatives

A sterile or non-sterile flavored monomeric adhesive composition includes a flavoring additive and a monomer. The composition can be applied, for example, to skin or the inside of the mouth. A method of making a sterile, flavored adhesive composition includes placing a mixture of a polymerizable adhesive monomer and a flavoring additive in a container, sealing the container, and sterilizing the mixture and the container. The flavored adhesive composition is particularly useful as a medical adhesive and can include 1,1 -disubstituted ethylene monomers, such as &agr;-cyanoacrylates.

Flavored cyanoacrylate compositions

An adhesive composition that contains cyanoacrylate monomers and cyclic or alkyl- or phenyl-terminated linear polydimethylsiloxane is particularly useful in applications requiring flexibility and elasticity.
