Abstract: The present invention concerns an aqueous dispersion of multiphase polymer particles in which the polymer particles comprise at least two separate phases, the internal phase being formed by polymerization in the presence of a crosslinking agent, said dispersion further comprising a surfactant chosen from amino acid derivatives. The invention also concerns a film-forming composition comprising said aqueous dispersion of polymer particles. The invention also relates to a film obtained after application of said film-forming composition. This film dries very quickly, is water resistant, and has good adhesion, elasticity and breaking strength properties. The invention also concerns the use of said film for protecting surfaces of the skin or mucous membranes, wounds, injuries and/or skin disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for treatment of skin wounds, comprising an energy source for activation of a biochemical healing effect, and at least one dressing intended to be placed on the wound before the step of activation by said energy source, characterized in that said dressing comprises an identification means interacting in a contactless manner with a sensor that triggers the function of the energy source only when the distance between the sensor and said identification means is below a threshold value.

Abstract: A device for dermatological treatment, includes an energy source, the energy source generating a quasi-Gaussian laser beam, characterized in that it includes an element for shaping the beam between the energy source and a source to be treated, the shaping element being adapted for converting the beam into a beam having a power distributed homogenously on a given surface, and in that the device further includes a removable and replaceable optical unit.

Abstract: A light source or lamphouse wherein light from lamps 16 of different colors, as obtained by filters 18, is projected into a full diffusing chamber 20 with diffusing reflective internal surfaces where the light is premixed. The diffusing chamber is disposed adjacent to a specular dispersing chamber 22 of greater volume than the diffusing chamber where the light is further mixed and dispersed to provide uniform illumination at an outlet; the use of both types of chambers providing efficient mixing in a limited volume so that the source can be movably mounted on the column of an enlarger or printer.
