Abstract: Compositions, and methods for using such compositions, which are useful to destroy hydrogen peroxide in a liquid aqueous medium, such as that used to disinfect contact lenses. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a hydrogen peroxide destroying component effective when released in a hydrogen peroxide-containing liquid aqueous medium to destroy or cause the destruction of hydrogen peroxide present in the hydrogen peroxide-containing liquid aqueous medium, and a barrier component acting to substantially prevent the release of the hydrogen peroxide destroying component for a period of time after the composition is initially contacted with the hydrogen peroxide-containing liquid aqueous medium, the barrier component comprising a material selected from the group consisting of water soluble cellulose derivatives and mixtures thereof having a molecular weight of at least about 20,000. The composition results in reduced foam formation relative to a similar composition including a barrier component comprising a similar material having a molecular weight of 10,000 when both the composition and the similar composition are exposed to identical hydrogen peroxide-containing liquid aqueous media to destroy or cause the destruction of the hydrogen peroxide therein.

Abstract: Needle guards are disclosed for use with needle assemblies comprising a needle hub that joins a flexible trailing tube to a medical needle, the normally open front ends of the guards being closeable after a needle and hub have been pulled therein by the trailing tube. In one example (FIG. 4c), a guard (10) has a stiff upper sidewall (24a) of an inverted U-shape and a flexible lower sidewall (26b) that fits inside the upper sidewall and is resiliently biased to bring its front end (31) into contact with the front end (30) of upper sidewall (24b) so as to close the front aperture of the guard after the needle assembly (16) has been withdrawn into the guard. The lower sidewall (26b) can be locked or clipped into the upper sidewall (24b) by pressing lower sidewall passed catches (72). In this way, the needle is completely and safely enclosed after use to reduce the danger of needle-stick injury and blood-splash contamination.

Abstract: A web-fed rotary printing press capable of producing signatures each having a predetermined number of pages including a plurality of center spreads, comprising a plurality of printing units (1a, 1b, 1c, 1d and 1e) for printing on separate webs (Wa, Wb, Wc, Wd and We) of paper or like printable material traveling in centerline alignment and in phase with one another, means (6) for superposing the printed webs, a former (4) disposed downstream of the superposing means with respect to a traveling direction of the superposed webs for longitudinally folding the same, and means (2) disposed downstream of the former for transversely cutting the folded webs into multiple-page, plural-center-spread signatures. In order to prevent a preselected web (e.g. We) from wrinkling or otherwise going out of shape after being folded longitudinally in order to be turned into an additional center spread, angle guide means (9, 9a, 9b or 9c) are provided for turning the preselected web 90 degrees out of phase with the other, unselected webs (Wa, Wb, Wc and Wd) before being folded by a second former (8). Disposed downstream of the angle guide means, the second former (8) is displaced 90 degrees out of phase with the first recited former (4) for folding the preselected web along a centerline thereof back into phase with the unselected webs. The preselected web, which has been folded by the second former, and the unselected webs, which have bypassed the angle guide means and the second former, are superposed one upon another by the superposing means (6), with the fold of the preselected web in register with the aligned centerline of the unselected webs. There are thus produced multiple-page signatures each having at least two center spreads. Additional embodiments are disclosed for creating two or three additional center spreads. <IMAGE>
