US Patent 6,669,013 Disposable Baby Bottle - Burst Bag Technology
A) This patent is for a DISPOSABLE BABY BOTTLE with BURST BAG TECHNOLOGY. It consists of INFANT FORMULA in one part, and WATER in the other. When squeezed it "bursts", mixes and ready to feed.
B) Primary USE intended: third world countries, disaster relief, military etc.
C) Other areas where the same technology could be used: MEDICAL (vaccines, antibiotics etc.), energy drinks (electrolytes, nutrition for mountain climbers etc), I.V fluid bags, emergency bottle feeding of foals (mare milk replacement)...and more.
D) Extensive SHELF LIFE
From a mother who has a "blog" and discovered our bottle:
"Formula Hope" is an idea of an organization I would like to start someday. Formula Hope would be delivering sanitary and disposable bottles to AIDS infected areas. Unfortunately, even though a mother is infected, HIV-positive, many children are born negative but because they breastfeed their babies the child then becomes HIV- positive because they have no other source for food. A child that is born with hope, but is doomed because of lack of sources.
Breastfeeding
If breastfeeding is to be eliminated as an avenue for HIV infection, alternatives such as bottle feeding must be made safe and available. One cannot safely clean bottles and prepare formula in an area that is without adequate supplies of clean water. In some rural areas in Uganda for example, 85 percent of the infants who are fed formula die because it has been made using water contaminated with deadly bacteria. In the same areas, the death rate among infants who become infected with HIV through breastfeeding is 27 percent.
Even when clean water is available, the money to buy formula often is not. In Uganda, the cost of feeding one child adequately with formula is about one and a half times the annual earnings of an average village family.
Taken from here
This is an awesome idea that would be great for the organization I would like to start. Patent pending (*) disposable bottles, which comes pre-filled with sanity water and formula you just would squeeze the bottle to mix the contents and feed your baby. Man, think of how much we could change the amount of infected children if we started using these.
* = it is actually NOT "pending", patent is current and secured.
