Abstract
Abstract A method of treating various sensitive animal body tissues comprising applying to the tissue a solution prepared from specially processed seawater. The solution is prepared by filtering off-shore seawater to remove debris in small organisms, sterilizing the filtered solution and diluting thereafter with tap water or distilled water to lower the solution's osmolality to about 280 mOs, which renders the solution compatible and isotonic with the tissue to be treated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
46 words
The method of treating sensitive animal tissue which comprises applying to said tissue an aqueous solution prepared by processing seawater to separate debris and small organisms therefrom, sterilizing and diluting the resulting solution to provide a sterilized solution with osmolality isotonically compatible with said animal tissue.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
46 words
The method of treating sensitive animal tissue which comprises applying to said tissue an aqueous solution prepared by processing seawater to separate debris and small organisms therefrom, sterilizing and diluting the resulting solution to provide a sterilized solution with osmolality isotonically compatible with said animal tissue.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tissue comprises irritated epidermal tissue, and said treatment comprises irrigating said irritated tissue with said solution.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tissue comprises ulcerated tissue, and said treatment comprises applying said sterilized solution as a wound soak.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 3, comprising adding to said sterilized solution an amount of an agent sufficient to control bacterial growth.
