Abstract: The biocidal textile support includes bronopol in the dry state present on the surface of the support and having a contact biocidal action, the bronopol being linked to the support by a photo-crosslinkable or photo-polymerizable binder, and its use as an element of a device for protecting against biological risks. A biocidal suit or garment and a mask, preferably antibacterial or antiviral, including such a biocidal support, are also described.

Abstract: The invention proposes a composite textile material for NRBC applications, comprising a first material capable of providing a physical barrier to the penetration of microorganisms and a second material capable of trapping, by absorption and/or adsorption, said microorganisms stopped by said first material and article of protection made of said material.

Abstract: A device for protecting an area of the human body including a joint, includes a semi-rigid outer shell (10) made of an elastically deformable material and an inner shock-absorbing protective element (20), intended to be placed facing the body. The device is able to be deformed laterally so as to match the shape of the body in the area including the joint. It also includes elements capable of maintaining it in each given lateral deformation position, in the form of deformable rigid transverse inserts, and elements (105, 205) for folding the device along a transverse axis.
