Abstract: A package includes a box, made of card-board, in which a support element, also made of card-board, is inserted. This U-shaped element has fixed wings, with coaxial holes, inside which products, e.g. vials are inserted. The edge of each hole has radial segments which engage the neck of the products and prevent them from slippage. The element of support can be provided with flaps with appendixes having heads which rest against the bottom and the cover of the box; in this way the bottom and the the neck are effectively protected.

Abstract: A tractor for the treatment of deformities of the spine comprises a plate of rigid material such as plastic having a raised peripheral rib extending outwardly from the plate in the form of an elongated figure 8 which encloses a substantially cylindrical end portion at each end interconnected by a central connecting portion space which is covered by a flexible elastic membrane so as to form two airtight chamber portions at each end and a narrow central connecting portion which communicates therebetween. The end portions may be inflated outwardly with the use of a portable hand pump or bellows connected thereto and the device is adapted to be engaged with a brace applied around the person's body.
