Abstract: The pasty components of a multicomponent material are first contained in separate tubular portions (11,12) which, prior to the mixing operation, are assembled together to form a cartridge (10) having a cylindrical inner wall and in which a mixing means is accomodated which consists of a rotationgly driven disk (21) and of a relatively stationary disk (18). Via a rod (29) projecting out of the cartridge (10), disk (21) is drivable by a rotating tool. By reciprocation of the rotating tool, both disks (18 and 21) are moved axially to the cartridge (10). Upon the mixing performed by displacing and redistributing of the materials, the piston (13) is advanced in order to squeeze the mixture out of the cartridge.

Abstract: A blood-sampling device consisting of a cylindrical tube with a plunger therein, which is closed by an elastomeric stopper which can be pierced by the rear end of a two-ended cannula, the other end of which is intended to be introduced into a vein, whereas the cannula is disposed within a tubular guide sleeve which can be pushed over the front end of the cylindrical tube.
