Trigger Sprayer Aerosol Can for Hydrogen Peroxide
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods for treating cuts and bruises using hydrogen peroxide are cumbersome and inefficient, particularly in emergency situations where rapid treatment of multiple individuals is necessary.
Innovation Solution
A hydrogen peroxide mixture agent is packaged in an aerosol can with a trigger sprayer that allows for easy, portable, and rapid application by pulling a tab to activate the sprayer, utilizing a propellant and valve system to deliver the agent as a mist through a nozzle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a large plastic bottle of hydrogen peroxide is used for treating wounds, then the hydrogen peroxide can be applied to the wound, but the bottle is bulky and cumbersome to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the physical state and delivery method of hydrogen peroxide from a liquid in a large bottle to an aerosol spray in a compact can. This parameter change in delivery form factor enables the same therapeutic function to be achieved in a much smaller, more portable container that can be easily held and manipulated in one hand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs aerosol technology and spray mechanisms to deliver hydrogen peroxide. The aerosol can contains the hydrogen peroxide in a pressurized state, allowing it to be dispensed as a fine mist through a spray nozzle. This pneumatic delivery system achieves both compact size and effective wound treatment capability.
2Productivity
If traditional pouring method is used to apply hydrogen peroxide, then the wound can be treated, but the treatment process is slow and not efficient for multiple individuals
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger sprayer mechanism allows for continuous, rapid dispensing of hydrogen peroxide aerosol. The user can maintain a steady spray stream across multiple wounds or individuals without interruption, significantly increasing treatment throughput compared to the stop-and-go nature of pouring from a bottle.
Solution Approach 2:
The aerosol spray delivers hydrogen peroxide in rapid, fine droplets that disperse quickly across the wound surface. This periodic misting action covers larger areas faster than continuous pouring, enabling quicker treatment of multiple individuals in emergency situations.
3Productivity
If the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent is kept accessible for quick use, then rapid treatment is possible, but the container may be tampered with or accidentally activated before needed
Solution Approach 1:
The aerosol can is pre-prepared with the hydrogen peroxide mixture and propellant under pressure, with the spray mechanism already assembled and ready. The only action required at the moment of use is to pull the tab and squeeze the trigger, eliminating any setup time while the sealed container design prevents accidental or unauthorized activation until that tab is pulled.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and precise application of hydrogen peroxide to wounds, enhancing ease of use and speed in treating multiple individuals during emergencies, such as in military combat or catastrophes.
Implementation Method 1
A Propellant composed of nitrogen, air or mixture thereof inside the can that presses on the Bag that holds the Hydrogen Peroxide Mixture Agent
Implementation Method 2
The Opening on the trigger Assembly can is configured to allow the Hydrogen Peroxide Mixture Agent to flow out as a mist in a spray cone

AI summary
An aerosol hydrogen peroxide mixture agent with trigger sprayer that can be easily held in one hand. The hydrogen peroxide agent is in a bag inside a can and under pressure from air or nitrogen or mixture thereof, and can only be initially opened and released by pulling the tab of the trigger sprayer. The trigger assembly cannot be sprayed until the tab is pulled. The can is cylindrical canister housing and has a dip tube that goes to the bag of the can to the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent. There is propellant composed of air or nitrogen or mixture thereof in the can that pushes on the bag holding the hydrogen peroxide mixture agent up through the dip tube to the valve operative and then to the actuator stem up through the trigger sprayer.
