Abstract: A kit comprises a device (1) for electrotherapy and/or electrophysiology and a delivery system and method for the device. The device (1) includes a lead (2) and a paddle (5) comprising at least one electrode (8), the paddle (5) being reconfigurable between an operative configuration and a transport configuration of smaller transverse extent. The delivery system comprises a flexible, hollow outer sheath (28) and a hollow delivery sheath (100) for receiving at least the paddle (5) of the device (1) in the transport configuration. The delivery sheath (100) may be inserted into a proximal end of the outer sheath (28) and transported through the outer sheath (28) to deliver the paddle (5) of the device (1) to a distal end of the outer sheath (28), which is located at or directed towards an implantation site in the body (11) of a patient. The delivery sheath (100) protects the paddle (5) during transport and permits enhanced control of the position and orientation of the paddle (5) when it is deployed.

Abstract: A cartridge for preparation of a beverage is provided which is sealed prior to use and contains one or more beverage ingredients. The cartridge comprises: a body defining a beverage ingredient chamber containing the one or more beverage ingredients; a first filter defining an exit from the beverage ingredient chamber; a second filter downstream of, and spaced apart from, the first filter; and a flow constriction downstream of the second filter, such that in use beverage produced from the one or more beverage ingredients passes, in order, through the first filter, the second filter and the flow constriction.
