Abstract: A system for forming and releasing an aqueous peracid solution is disclosed.  The system includes a container and a peracid forming composition provided within the container. The container is permeable to the passage of water and aqueous peracid solution. The peracid forming composition includes a peracid precursor and a peroxygen source. Preferably, the peracid forming composition includes a chemical heater capable of releasing heat upon hydration. When placed in water, water enters the container and interacts with the peracid forming composition provided within the container. The water combines with the peracid precursor and peroxygen source to provide an aqueous peracid composition. The presence of a chemical heater within the container provides for the generation of heat within the container which enhances the rate of peracid formation. The peracid solution leaves the con-tainer and forms an effective sanitizing amount of sanitizer. A  composition for forming and releasing an aqueous peracid solution is disclosed. The composition can include a mixture of peracid forming components or a composite structure containing peracid forming components adhered together. Methods of sanitizing a surface having a population of microorganisms are provided, and methods for manufacturing are provided.

Title: Laminated self-sealing vascular access graft
Inventor: TU BENNY
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: A vascular access graft that is radially supported and self-sealing upon puncture with, for example, a dialysis needle. The graft has at least one access segment that is formed by an inner layer, an intermediate layer, and outer layer. The intermediate layer has, in longitudinal cross-section, regions of different densities. Radial support members within the intermediate layer prevent collapse of vascular access graft and may be formed of a material that has a lower melting temperature than the other components of the graft. A porous or low-density material is provided between the radial support members to permit blood seepage therein, and the graft is formed by heating to cause the radial support members to melt slightly into the intersitial spaces of the low-density material. The radial support members may be individual turns of a helical coil of FEP, and the low-density material may be compressed PTFE "cotton". The inner and outer layers may also be formed of PTFE. An adhesive layer of FEP may be provided closely surrounding the inner layer to further anchor the various components of the graft during the step of heating.  The inner layer extends on either side of the access segment to provide junction segments that can be cleanly trimmed to size, and which can be used for graft cannulation in lieu of the access segment after suitable tissue ingrowth. A method of manufacture of the vascular access graft is also provided.
