Abstract: A retention member (1) for securing a catheter (2) on a patient (P) comprises a base element (10) having a bottom side (103) and a top side (104), the bottom side being placeable on the patient (P) and the top side (104) being adapted for receiving the catheter (2). The retention member (1) furthermore comprises a ribbon (14) having a first end (140) connected to the top side (104) of the base element (10) and having a second end (141) opposite the first end (140), wherein the base element (10) comprises at least one opening (150, 151) through which the second end (141) of the ribbon (14) is insertable for fixing the catheter (2) on the retention member (1) in between the base element (10) and the ribbon (14). In this way a retention member is provided which is easy and safe to use, may suit to secure catheters of different sizes on a patient and at the same time may be manufactured in a cost-effective manner.

Abstract: A conductor transportation device for cables has a pivoting conductor conveyor. A first drive moves the conductor conveyor about a pivotal axis. The conductor conveyor has a conveyance (30a) such as, a conveyor belt running around a drive roller and a roller, together with a pressure application. A second drive is present for the. The axes of rotation of rollers (30b, c, e, f) for the conveyance and pressure application are parallel to one another and also to the pivotal axis of the conductor conveyor. A drive axis of the drive is coincident with one of the axes of rotation of the rollers. One of the axes of rotation of the rollers is coincident with the pivotal axis for the conductor conveyor. The actuation paths of the pivotal axis and the conveyor roller or the driven roller are spaced apart.

Abstract: A drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product is presented comprising a first housing component having a receptacle being oval- or elliptically shaped in radial cross section and being adapted to at least partially receive an insert portion of a second housing component being at least partially insertable into said first housing component along an axial direction, wherein the insert portion is oval- or elliptically shaped in radial cross section. The outside dimension or an at least one outside diameter of the insert portion is at least in sections larger than a corresponding inner dimension or an at least one inner diameter of the receptacle and wherein the insert portion and the receptacle are adapted to generate a radially acting mutual clamping of first and second housing components in a pre-fixing assembly configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive mechanism for a drug delivery device as well as to a drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product, wherein the drive mechanism comprises: a holder for a product-containing cartridge, the cartridge having a piston slidably arranged therein in an axial direction, a piston rod to be operably engaged with the cartridge's piston for dispensing of a dose of the medicinal product, at least one adjusting member slidably arranged in axial direction relative to the piston and/or relative to the piston rod for eliminating axial clearance between the piston and the piston rod, an interlock means adapted to interact with the adjusting member for mutually locking in position the piston and the piston rod irrespective of the relative distance between piston and piston rod.
