Abstract
Provided herein is a topical antibiotic composition that includes an external antibiotic agent, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, and at least one of a cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid. Also provided is a method that includes topically administering to a skin surface of a subject (e.g., human) the topical antibiotic composition.
Core Innovation
The disclosed invention concerns a method of first aid for preventing bacterial infection due to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. The method includes topically administering to affected areas of a subject in need thereof a topical antibiotic ointment comprising bacitracin zinc, cannabidiol (CBD), and petrolatum.
In the topical antibiotic ointment, the CBD is present as a CBD isolate dissolved or dispersed in hemp extract. The disclosure further characterizes the ointment as a first aid topical antibiotic ointment for topical administration to affected areas, with the intent to prevent infection for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
The disclosed compositions and methods include further formulation and constraint concepts in the topical antibiotic ointment, including cannabinoid-related limits and optional inclusion of additional ingredients such as glycerin and optional pain-relief agents. The document also describes covering the affected areas with a sterile bandage after administering the topical antibiotic ointment.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover two first-aid methods for preventing bacterial infection from minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, each grounded in a topical antibiotic ointment with shared mandatory components and differing inclusion of glycerin in the second independent claim. Across the claim set, the inventive features are further limited by quantitative cannabinoid constraints and optional refining features such as bandaging and numbing agents.
First-aid prevention using bacitracin zinc, CBD isolate in hemp extract, and petrolatum
A method of first aid to prevent bacterial infection due to at least one of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, comprising topically administering to affected areas of a subject a topical antibiotic ointment comprising bacitracin zinc, cannabidiol (CBD), and petrolatum, wherein the CBD is present as a CBD isolate dissolved or dispersed in hemp extract.
First-aid prevention using bacitracin zinc in a defined amount with CBD isolate in hemp extract, petrolatum, and glycerin
A method of first aid to prevent bacterial infection due to at least one of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, comprising topically administering to affected areas of a subject a topical antibiotic ointment comprising bacitracin zinc, cannabidiol (CBD), petrolatum, and glycerin, wherein the CBD is present as a CBD isolate dissolved or dispersed in hemp extract and wherein the bacitracin zinc is present in 500-1100 units per gram of the topical antibiotic ointment.
Overall claim coverage focuses on topical antibiotic ointment-based first aid for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns using bacitracin zinc together with CBD delivered as a CBD isolate dissolved or dispersed in hemp extract and petrolatum, and in the second independent claim further requiring glycerin and defining the bacitracin zinc units per gram. Dependent claim refinements introduce cannabinoid concentration thresholds, including total THC and substantially-free cannabinoid profiles, and operational refinements such as sterile bandaging and optional pain-relief agents.
Stated Advantages
Prevent bacterial infection due to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Provide temporary pain relief in embodiments that include optional pain-relief agents.
Documented Applications
First aid to prevent bacterial infection due to at least one of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, using a topical antibiotic ointment.
