| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6894079 | Method for reducing free-radical induced injury Disclosed are methods for reducing the injury to tissues, cells, microorganisms or lipids caused by free radicals. The method comprises exposing a composition comprising perfluorocarbon to the tissue, cell, microorganism or lipids in need of such a treatment. Perflu... | 05/17/2005 |
| 5874481 | Fluorochemical solutions for the delivery of lipophilic pharmaceutical agents A thermodynamically stable molecular solution providing enhanced bioavailability for lipophilic pharmaceutical agents, comprising a liquid carrier comprising one or more physiologically acceptable lipophilic fluorochemicals, and a pharmaceutically effecti... | 02/23/1999 |
| 5859068 | Acceleration of tissue growth using fluorocarbon liquid A method for the acceleration of tissue growth using continuous fluorocarbon liquid-based positive pressure is disclosed, whereby significant increase in tissue growth is achieved.... | 01/12/1999 |
| 5851544 | Cosmetic skin or hair care compositions containing fluorocarbons infused with carbon dioxide Cosmetic skin or hair care compositions containing a liquid, inert, hydrophobic fluorocarbon infused with carbon dioxide. The compositions increase blood flow to the skin, thus increasing endogenous oxygen and nutrient delivery to the skin.... | 12/22/1998 |
| 5726209 | Liquid fluorocarbon emulsion as a vascular nitric oxide reservoir Biocompatible fluorocarbon emulsions are utilized to inhibit the removal of endogenously produced nitric oxide from the bloodstream, and to thereby inhibit vascular stenosis, vasoconstriction, and any other physiological condition or disorder arising in w... | 03/10/1998 |
| 5684050 | Stable emulsions of highly fluorinated organic compounds Stable emulsions of highly fluorinated organic compounds for use as oxygen transport agents, "artificial bloods" or red blood cell substitutes and as contrast agents for biological imaging. The emulsions comprise a highly fluorinated organic compound, an ... | 11/04/1997 |
