Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of treating a victim having a wound the normal healing of which is accelerated by exposure to oxygen, which comprises contacting the wound with an effective amount of a liquid containing molecular oxygen and comprising a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or dibrominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, the contacting being by means other than the blood stream.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of treating a victim having a wound the normal healing of which is accelerated by exposure to oxygen, which comprises contacting the wound with an effective amount of a liquid containing molecular oxygen and comprising a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or dibrominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, the contacting being by means other than the blood stream.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the wound is a burn.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
Method according to claim 1 wherein the substantially fluorinated carbon material or derivative thereof is derived from a cyclic hydrocarbon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein the treatment is applied to the surface of the skin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
Method according to claim 4 wherein the liquid also contains compatible medicine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
Method according to claim 3 wherein the treatment is preceded by a debridement.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
46 words
An article useful for treating wounds the normal healing of which is accelerated by exposure to oxygen, comprising a dressing containing an effective amount of a liquid comprising a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or dibrominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
An article useful for treating wounds the normal healing of which is accelerated by exposure to oxygen, comprising a dressing containing an effective amount of a liquid comprising a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or dibrominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim

Dependent Claim
12 words
Article according to claim 7 wherein the liquid also contains compatible medicine.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of treating a burn victim comprising contacting the burn with an effective amount of a liquid containing molecular oxygen and a material selected from the group consisting of a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, and an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of treating a burn victim comprising contacting the burn with an effective amount of a liquid containing molecular oxygen and a material selected from the group consisting of a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, and an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
16 words
Method according to claim 10 wherein the substantially fluorinated carbon material is a perfluorinated carbon material.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
12 words

Claim 16
Dependent Claim
54 words
An article, useful for treating burns, comprising a gauze or sponge dressing containing an effective amount of a liquid comprising a material selected from the group consisting of (a) a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, and (b) an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
54 words
An article, useful for treating burns, comprising a gauze or sponge dressing containing an effective amount of a liquid comprising a material selected from the group consisting of (a) a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof having an ability to transport oxygen, and (b) an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 22
Dependent Claim
51 words
A composition useful for treating burns, in the form of a foam, spray or gel, containing an effective amount of a liquid containing an oxygen transporting material selected from the group consisting of a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof, and an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 23
Dependent Claim
51 words
A composition useful for treating burns, in the form of a foam, spray or gel, containing an effective amount of a liquid containing an oxygen transporting material selected from the group consisting of a substantially fluorinated carbon material or a mono or di-brominated derivative thereof, and an emulsion containing the material.
Claim 24
Dependent Claim
13 words
The article of claim 7 or 13 wherein the liquid contains molecular oxygen.
