Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of application of health, biotechnology and nutrition, the aim of the invention being to provide a gelatinous mixture of probiotics and prebiotics with synergic symbiotic action for the treatment of chronic renal disease, the characteristics and components thereof reducing the concentration of uremic toxins, improving the renal function of the patient with an increase in urea, creatinine, uric acid, p-cresols or indoles in the blood. The gelatinous mixture of probiotics and prebiotics with synergic symbiotic action for the treatment of chronic renal disease is easier to administrate orally as it does not require the consumption of liquids for the administration thereof, reducing liquid retention. Another advantage of the present invention is the fact that it refers to live and active bacteria. The present invention is also used a primary source of food with known prebiotic effects, an element which is not considered in other inventions; it is not in a pharmaceutical form.

Abstract: The mentioned invention describes an ergonomic belt for persons with peritoneal dialysis which is used for care of the patients after having surgery, specifically for kidney failure, where a catheter is placed to carry out the dialysis, the benefits of the usage of the mentioned invention provide abdominal support allowing to ensure the care of the suture, so it won't open because of the movement or the patient's efforts. It also has the particularity to protect the catheter, since there is an orifice that could be outside of the belt preventing for it to bend or to be pulled under the weight of the dialysis fluids, also having a compartment where the catheter could be located protecting at the same time from the environment exposition and the perspiration of the patient, so it can be assured not having infections that could harm the integrity of the person carrying it.

Abstract: It comprises applying a mould release agent on a compaction tool (1), carrying out its curing and applying a layer with adhesive properties (2) on the mould release agent. It is characterized in that it also comprises extending an aerator blanket (4) along the layer (2) with dimensions larger than the adhesive layer (2), extending a membrane with resilient properties (5) on the entire surface of the tool (1) by applying vacuum to the membrane (5) for compacting the adhesive layer. This method reduces the number of stages required to perform the compaction and avoids the generation of waste materials thus reducing the cost of the process.
