Abstract: A non-aqueous spray composition is provided which comprises 0.1 to 40% by weight of at least one polymeric silicone-based film-forming agent selected from dimethiconol, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone and mixtures thereof; 10 to 60% by weight of propellant selected from compressed gas and liquified gas; and 30 to 90% by weight of silicone-based volatile solvent;
20250262413. non kink IV device for placement on a patients arm called a Silent antecubital or Silent AC.
Abstract: This is a non-kink IV device for placement on an arm of a patient called a Silent antecubital (AC). The non-kink IV device includes a small amount of a compressed material with a rounded bottom, at least one elastic band, and a stretchy net piece to encase the roll and bands around the arm of the patient. The device holds the IV against the arm so that arm movement of the patient is limited to avoid kinking of any tubing for the IV since the kinking can set off an alarm. Options for the compress...
