Abstract: Waste processing chamber operates in a loading mode, a processing mode and an unloading mode. In the processing mode, an environment inside the processing chamber disinfects particles of medical waste using ozone. The processing chamber includes an inlet to receive the particles. In the processing mode and unloading mode a hermetic seal is provided between the environment inside and an environment outside of the processing chamber. An outlet extracts the particles from the processing chamber and provides a hermetic seal between the environment inside and the environment outside of the processing chamber. A particle transporting arrangement stirs the particles to move the particles to the outlet for extraction. Sensors measure characteristics of the sealed environment inside the processing chamber. The processing chamber is fluidly coupled to or includes a generator to generate ozone and to maintain a target concentration level of ozone of the environment inside the processing chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation therapy or microwave therapy or cryosurgery or ultrasound therapy reference positioning marker (5) adapted to be implanted in tissue using a hollow injection needle (4), wherein the marker comprises an elongated object with a longitudinal axis (CL) and have cross-sections (A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D, E-E, F-F) of the object, perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (CL), being adapted to fit within an inner diameter (DI) of the needle (4), wherein the marker (5) comprises a plurality of first segments (1) having a first cross-section and one or more second segments (2) having a second set of cross- sections, wherein an area of the first cross-section is selected relatively larger than area/s of the second set of cross-sections, and wherein the first segments (1) and second segments (2) are arranged alternately after each other along the longitudinal axis (CL), wherein the one or more of second segments (2) are provided with one or more deformation segments (22) adapted to e

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implantation assembly comprising a hollow needle (20) with a longitudinal axis (L) and an opening slanted at an first acute angle in relation to a plane perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (L), a mandrel (21) adapted to slide within the inside the needle along the longitudinal axis (L), and a plurality of positioning markers (10), wherein each of the plurality of markers (10) comprises an elongated marker body (11) with a proximal end (12) and a distal end (13), wherein said proximal end (12) and said distal end (13) of said marker body (11) is slanted essentially at a same second acute angle (?) in relation to the plane, wherein said plurality of positioning markers (10) are mounted distally of said mandrel (21) within said needle (20) and proximally of the distal end of said needle (20) before implantation, and said plurality of positioning markers (10) being adapted to be implanted using said hollow needle (20) and said mandrel (21), wherein the marker body (11) of e

Abstract: The present invention relates to a positioning marker intended to be inserted in tissue. The marker is an elongated object with a longitudinal axis A and with a diameter perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, wherein the diameter is at the most 1.2 mm. The marker further has a predetermined total length LTOT. The marker comprises a plurality of first segments 1 and a plurality of second segments 2, wherein the first and the second segments are arranged alternately after each others. The marker comprises a first material with a density of at least 10 g/cm3, and this material constitute at least 90% by volume of the marker, and a second material that is magnetic and that constitute at the most 10% by volume of the marker.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a marker to be used inside human or animal body, comprising an elongated wire of a radiation retarding and/or radioactive material, wherein the wire is arranged with at least one bending means, capable of bending the wire upon insertion in human tissue. The invention also relates to a penetration needle to be used with the marker as well as a tool for facilitating the insertion and creation of the marker according to the invention.

Abstract: Patient repositioning device (10) comprising, a patient supporting panel (20), at least one pair of laterally adjustable side support structures (30a,b, 40a,b) for sideways supporting a patient (50) on the supporting panel (20). To achieve repeatable repositioning of a patient body (50) each pair of side support structures (30a,b, 40a,b) are linked by a link arrangement ensuring that the side support structures (30a, b, 40a, b) automatically are centered about a longitudinal axis (A-A) of the supporting panel (20) indicating the centre of a patient (50) supported on the panel (20). There is also provided a method of repositioning a patient.
