Dothan, Alabama Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
ORCA Products LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its breakthrough in oral pain management. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11986556, titled ‘Methods for oral pain relief’, introduces a dissolvable, plant-based paste designed to deliver fast, targeted relief for conditions like dry socket and mouth ulcers.
The patented formula combines natural ingredients such as guaiacol, eugenol, glycerin, menthol, peppermint oil, oregano oil, and cardamom oil. These are embedded in a dissolvable carrier – like xylitol, aloe, or surgical sponge – that adheres to painful areas inside the mouth. This design ensures the treatment remains effective in the moist environment of the oral cavity, providing rapid and sustained pain relief.
Unlike traditional oral gels or rinses that can wash away quickly, ORCA’s innovation offers a moldable, stay-in-place solution. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients recovering from dental procedures or dealing with recurring oral discomfort. The product’s natural formulation also appeals to those seeking alternatives to synthetic medications.
With this patent, ORCA Products, LLC positions itself at the forefront of patient-centered dental care. Their innovation addresses a widespread need for effective, easy-to-use, and natural pain relief solutions in oral health.
