Chemical Splinter Removal
US Patent:
4830854, May 16, 1989
Filed:
Dec 18, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/134993
Inventors:
Russell I. Copelan - Colorado Springs CO
International Classification:
A61K 900
US Classification:
424445
Abstract:
A method is provided of facilitating the removal of foreign objects embedded in skin, generally referred to as splinters, by chemical means. The method involves topically applying, to the skin at a point adjacent to the splinter, such as the point at which the splinter entered the skin, a chemical composition including salicylic acid. The chemical composition may also include an antibiotic to promote healing, and a vehicle, such as petrolatum. When placed in contact with the skin at a point adjacent to the splinter, by a dressing or other carrier secured to the skin, the chemical composition causes desquamation of injured skin scales, epidermal hydration, and diffuse loosening of the embedded splinter.
