Abstract:
A method of antiseptically packaging articles for room-temperature dry storage, the method comprising inserting a bactericidal-component-dispersed solidified emulsion complex having surfaces that liquefy upon contacting human or animal blood temperatures of about 98-100Â° F. in a living subject within the interior of an outer package; exposing said surfaces of the solidified emulsion and the interior of the package to said elevated temperatures and/or to moisture sufficient to start the liquefying of said bactericidal component of the solidified emulsion and the releasing of bactericidal vapor generated from said liquefying; and upon the start of vapor release, terminating said liquefying and returning the temperature to room temperature to resolidify said surfaces; and, if the package is not already sealed, sealing said package.
