Decontamination system and method of decontamination

USPTO Application #: 20090117165
Title: Decontamination system and method of decontamination
Abstract: In one embodiment, a pad is provided for wiping a contaminant from a contaminated surface. The pad includes a layer of non-adsorptive fabric having a first surface configured to directly contact the contaminated surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The pad further includes a layer of activated-carbon fabric attached to the second surface of the layer of non-adsorptive fabric. A decontamination liquid that is a solvent for the contaminant saturates the layer of non-adsorptive fabric and the layer of activated-carbon fabric. Such decontamination liquid is configured to adsorb the contaminant. The layer of activated-carbon fabric is configured to adsorb the contaminant from the decontamination liquid, and the layer of non-adsorptive fabric is configured to prevent direct contact of the activated-carbon fabric and any adsorbed contaminant in the activated-carbon fabric with the contaminated surface.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to materials and methods for decontamination of items and persons contaminated with chemical and biological agents, and more particularly to decontamination of open wounds.

2. Background Information

The capability to decontaminate (preferably neutralize, but at least remove) chemical and biological agents from human skin, or from articles handled by humans, and in particular from open-wounds of casualties is extremely valuable to the military. This capability will increase the safety and survivability of casualties and personnel in the course of medical treatment of casualties in an environment that is contaminated with chemical and/or biological threat agents, and will allow medical personnel to more readily treat casualties in a safe and effective manner.

The level of decontamination required is established by the toxicity level of the agent involved. The percutaneous values for 50% percentile lethal dose for the major Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) are as follows:
