Abstract: A removal member for removing a needle protective cap includes a housing having a longitudinal axis and receiving the cap along an insertion direction, the housing having a first support area and a second support area the first area being carried by a blocking element, movable relative to the housing between a cap insertion configuration, in which the orthogonal projections of the first and second areas in a transverse plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis are separated by an insertion distance, and a cap blocking configuration, in which the first and second areas are located in separate transverse planes, and in which the orthogonal projections of the first and second areas in said transverse plane are separated by a blocking distance less than the insertion distance and adapted to block the translation of the cap relative to the removal member in a removal direction opposite to the insertion direction.

Abstract: A medical device includes: an elongated tube having a wall defining a lumen for the elongated tube, wherein the wall of the elongated tube comprises a first opening; and a first actuating element coupled directly or indirectly to the wall of the elongated tube; wherein at least a part of the first actuating element and the first opening of the wall are located at a same longitudinal position with respect to a longitudinal axis of the elongated tube; and wherein the first actuating element is configured to change size to induce stress and/or displacement at the wall of the elongated tube to cause the elongated tube to bend.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for suction and irrigation, includes: an insertion tube inserted into the body of a patient; an instrument body coupled to the insertion tube and disposed outside the body of the patient; an irrigation fluid control valve coupled to the instrument body; and a drainage fluid control valve coupled to the instrument body and separated a predetermined distance from the irrigation fluid control valve in a longitudinal direction of the instrument body.

Abstract: A medical injection device for supporting a medical container, the medical container comprising a barrel adapted to contain a composition and a needle extending from a distal end of the barrel, wherein the medical injection device comprises: a body configured to receive at least a part of the medical container, a plunger axially movable relative to the body along an axis of the body, needle cover movable relative to the body along the axis, the needle cover being configured to move successively between storage position wherein the needle cover covers the needle, an injection position wherein the needle cover exposes at least partially the needle, a safety position wherein the needle cover covers the needle and is prevented from moving back to the injection position.

Abstract: Infusion devices including a cannula have a tubular body member comprising a tubular wall enclosing a longitudinal extending internal bore. The cannula is adapted to flex in response to a compression force and/or an increased internal pressure in the cannula.

Abstract: A personal hygiene device comprises a tubular body constructed of a substantially watertight flexible material. The tubular body defines a cavity. An opening in the tubular body provides access to the cavity, which opening is selectively closable to create a watertight seal. A spray member, having a first end and a second end, is operatively connected to the tubular body at the first end. A channel in the spray member extends from the first end to the second end. The channel is exposed to the cavity at the first end. The second end of the spray member has openings that are exposed to the channel. Material in the cavity can travel from the cavity through the channel in the spray member, and exit through the openings in its second end. An adjusting means is selectively operable to control the amount of material that flows into the channel.

Abstract: The invention provides a plaster for use in securing a tube to a patient. The plaster comprises a top layer having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pull tab. The plaster also comprises a base layer having an upper surface, and a lower surface. At least a portion of the lower surface of the top layer or the upper surface of the base layer is provided with an adhesive for adhering the plaster to the tube. The lower surface of the base layer is provided with an adhesive for adhering the plaster to the patient. The top layer includes a hinge about which the pull tab can be oriented away from the skin of the patient.

Abstract: Multi-dose dispenser comprising: a product reservoir (14), on the X-axis, opening at a distal end through an outlet orifice and comprising a barrel (24); a piston (20) comprising a piston rod (38) having a rack and, at a distal end of the piston rod, a piston head (34) slidably mounted in the barrel (24) along the X-axis; a pawl mounted so as to be movable along the X-axis relative to the reservoir and configured to cooperate with the rack so as to drive the piston along the X-axis only in a forward direction of the piston in the barrel; a spring arranged to push the pawl back along the X-axis in a reverse direction; a case containing the pawl and at least a part of the piston; and a check valve arranged to seal the outlet orifice and allow only an outlet of product from the reservoir.
