A GAS-PERMEABLE ELEMENT AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017906 titled 'A GAS-PERMEABLE ELEMENT AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a gas-permeable element that is used in packaging or medical devices to regulate the atmosphere inside. The gas-permeable element consists of an active structure made of a mixture of particles of an active material and a fibrillated polymer as a binder. The fibrillated polymer holds the active material through entanglement. The gas-permeable element is enclosed in a molded thermoplastic gas-permeable envelope that allows fluid communication with the surrounding atmosphere.

  • The gas-permeable element is formed or placed in packaging or medical devices to regulate the atmosphere inside.
  • It includes an active structure made of a mixture of particles of an active material and a fibrillated polymer as a binder.
  • The fibrillated polymer holds the active material through entanglement.
  • The gas-permeable element is enclosed in a molded thermoplastic gas-permeable envelope.
  • The envelope allows fluid communication with the atmosphere of the packaging or medical device.

Potential Applications:

  • Packaging of sensitive or odorous products to regulate the atmosphere and maintain product quality.
  • Medical devices that require controlled atmospheres, such as drug delivery systems or wound dressings.

Problems Solved:

  • Maintaining the desired atmosphere inside packaging or medical devices.
  • Preventing the degradation or contamination of sensitive or odorous products.
  • Ensuring the effectiveness of medical devices that require specific atmospheres.

Benefits:

  • Improved shelf life and quality of sensitive or odorous products.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of medical devices.
  • Cost-effective and efficient solution for regulating atmospheres in packaging or medical devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure includes a gas-permeable element formed or at least partially placed in a packaging or medical device containing sensitive or odorous products for regulating an atmosphere in the packaging or medical device. the gas-permeable element includes an active structure formed from a mixture including particles of an active material, and a fibrillated polymer as a binder. the fibrillated polymer is a polymer to which shear has been applied which holds the active material by entanglement. the gas-permeable element includes a molded thermoplastic gas-permeable envelope surrounding the active structure in fluid communication with the atmosphere of the packaging or medical device in which the gas-permeable element is placed. also disclosed is a method of manufacture of the gas-permeable element.
