Abstract: A therapeutic collar comprising an elongate body made from a flexible material for extending around at least a portion of the neck of a patient. The body has a length approximating the circumference of the neck, two thermoelectric devices for overlying two carotid arteries in the neck and two thermoelectric devices for overlying of two vertebral arteries in the neck when the elongate body is secured around the neck of the patient. At least one cooling tube is carried by the elongate body and extends in the vicinity of each of the thermoelectric devices for removing heat from the thermoelectric devices.

Abstract: An administration device includes a container body which defines therein a chamber containing at least two substances to be administered in at least two distinct, not spontaneously emulsifiable states; a permeable fragmentation diaphragm which divides the containing chamber into a first half-chamber in which substances to be administered are loaded and a contiguous second half-chamber in which the at least two substances to be administered are mixed; a thrust member pushing at least one of the at least two substances to be administered from the first half-chamber into second half-chamber through the permeable diaphragm and pushing the at least two substances after emulsification from the second semi-chamber into a recipient; and an outlet from the second half-chamber to the recipient.
