Patents
Nitric oxide delivery devices, L Hofler, ME Meyerhoff, D Koley, US Patent 9,872,953Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to have several important physiological functions, including its unique vasodilating properties, cancer-fighting potency, anti-platelet activity, and anti-microbial/anti-viral activity. In some instances, NO can be used to control infection, prevent biofilm formation, and minimize inflammation and fibrosis. Although NO is a stable radical, it is highly reactive with hemoglobin and oxygen, thus making delivery of NO to the target site challenging. In the device described in the patent, the nitric oxide is electrochemically generated by the reduction of nitrite ions by Cu(I) ions, which are generated at the surface of a working electrode that is made of a copper containing conductive material, or a base material coated with a copper containing conductive material.

Here, nitric oxide is also produced from nitrite ion in this device, but the catalyst is a Cu(II) complex.
