Abstract: An injectable hydrogel, includes, in weight, in a physiologically acceptable carrier fluid: 0.01 to 5% of glycerol and 0.1 to 5% of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, or one of the salts thereof; characterized in that the hyaluronic acid or one of the salts thereof is cross-linked by the formation of covalent bonds using bifunctional or polyfunctional molecules, the injectable hydrogel being sterilized in moist heat and having viscoelastic properties such that Tan ? at a frequency of 1 Hz is less than or equal to 1.10. A method for producing the hydrogel, to a kit containing the hydrogel, as well as to the use thereof in dermatology are also described.

Abstract: A modified superabsorbent polymer (SAP) comprises a SAP matrix and urea in the form of crystals that is integrated into the SAP matrix. The SAP matrix and the urea are interpenetrated. A method for producing the modified SAP may comprise a) preparing a mixture comprising at least one urea solution and at least one SAP, b) swelling the SAP in the mixture, c) crystallizing the urea in the mixture obtained upon completion of step b), d) recovering the modified SAP in the mixture, and e) optionally, forming the modified SAP recovered at step d).

Abstract: An accessory for a syringe is disclosed, including a body with a proximal end having at least one zone for application of an injection force in order to apply a force for discharging a product from the syringe, and a distal end having a bearing element for bearing against a needle mounted on the mouth of the syringe with a force that includes a radial component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the syringe and directed towards the centre of the syringe. An assembly including such an accessory and a syringe is also disclosed.

Abstract: Assisted injection device including a container for containing a product to be injected, the container including a movable bottom; a needle attached to the end of the container opposite the movable bottom; a piston acting on the movable bottom to expel through the needle a product located in the container and which is to be injected; a rotary motor for moving the piston by means of a drive mechanism, which converts the rotary motion of the rotary motor into a linear motion of the piston, the piston acting on the movable bottom by means of a compressible damping element.

Abstract: The injector for injecting a flexible intraocular implant comprises: a channel having a main portion of diameter D1, an open end portion of diameter D2 (with D2<D1), and a transition portion; a rigid piston movable along the channel to push the folded implant in the channel, and a substantially circularly symmetrical thrust part made of a material that is hydrophobic and elastically deformable, said thrust part having an outside diameter D3 not less than D1, said part being placed in said channel between the folded implant and the end of said piston without being mechanically connected to said piston. When the implant is pushed in the channel by the piston, said thrust part can deform elastically to penetrate in part into the end portion of the channel, thereby expelling the implant from the channel, and remaining jammed in said end portion of the channel when the piston is withdrawn.

Abstract: The injector for injecting a flexible intraocular implant comprises: a channel (14) having a main portion (18, 30) of diameter D1, an open end portion (34) of diameter D2 (with D2<D1), and a transition portion (32); a rigid piston (16) movable along the channel to push the folded implant in the channel, and a substantially circularly symmetrical thrust part (40) made of a material that is hydrophobic and elastically deformable, said thrust part having an outside diameter D3 not less than D1, said part (40) being placed in said channel between the folded implant (1) and the end of said piston (16) without being mechanically connected to said piston. When the implant is pushed in the channel by the piston, said thrust part can deform elastically to penetrate in part into the end portion of the channel, thereby expelling the implant from the channel, and remaining jammed in said end portion of the channel when the piston is withdrawn.

Abstract: A capsular bag intraocular implant having an optic portion and a haptic portion with the haptic portion having at least two arms extending radially relative to the optic portion. Each arm of the haptic portion has a main portion, a connection end connected to the edge of the optic portion and having a thickness in the direction of the optical axis that is less than the thickness of the main portion so as to form a flexing line that is substantially tangential to the optic portion, and a contact end presenting a contact edge against the inside wall of the capsular bag. The contact edge is disposed on a circle that is concentric with the optic portion and of diameter not less than 10.5 mm. The main portion of each arm forms an angle in a forward direction relative to the optical plane.
