Promising patents

摘要

Assigned to Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, this published patent for an innovative pouch addresses a need for liquid human milk fortifiers that are commercially sterile, do not require refrigeration and have relatively low acidity. Constructed of two films, about 40 percent or more of the pouch volume remains unused to permit manual kneading by the user. Film transparency allows the user to confirm that it has been properly mixed. Volume sizes range from 2mL to 80mL; one embodiment is for a spouted version.
