Abstract: A fitted sheet that is particularly well suited for use on a small mattress such as a child's sleeping mattress has elastic on some, but less than all, of its bottom surface periphery. The portion without elastic is wider than the portion with elastic, and defines a pocket part. A first end of the mattress is inserted into the pocket part. The pocket part holds the mattress securely while the elasticized portion is stretched and slipped over the remainder of the mattress. The pocket part not only allows for easier insertion of the mattress into that part, but also serves as a visual index that allows the user to easily identify which part of the sheet goes on which part of the mattress.

Abstract: A mattress system includes a core mattress and a mattress cover. The core is made from a resilient material with a top surface that may be inclined with respect to the bottom surface. The removable mattress sheet covers the core and includes a breathable material that forms a hammock over a depression in the top surface. The subject rests at least partially on the hammock. One or more sidewalls of the mattress depression may have one or more openings to facilitate air circulation within the depression. The external ends of the openings may connect to an air or aerosol source to inject air or aerosols into the depression cavity. The core may be coated with a fire retardant, impermeable water-proofing or gas impermeable layer. A ventilator may be adapted within the mattress.

Abstract: An infant mattress includes a core and a cover. The core is made from a resilient material and has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is inclined with respect to the bottom surface and includes a depression. The cover covers the core and includes a mesh-like material that forms an inclined hammock over the depression. The head and torso of an infant are placed on the hammock. One or more sidewalls of the depression may have one or more openings to facilitate air circulation within the depression cavity. The external ends of the openings may connect to an air or aerosol source to inject air or aerosols into the depression cavity. The core may be coated with an impermeable water-proofing layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nasal applicator (2) having a channel (3) which opens at: an opening (4) at a first end (5) of the applicator, which is intended to be inserted into a person's nose; and an opening (6) at a second end (7) of the applicator, which is provided with means (27, 28, 30) for securing same in an opening in the body of a nasal fluid aspiration device in a removable, sealed manner. The opening (6) at the second end is sealed by a non-porous element (8) which can deform elastically when a vacuum is created by a vacuum source in the body of the aspiration device and which is intended to form a nasal fluid container. The nasal applicator includes non-return means (9, 13) which prevent the nasal applicator from being emptied when a vacuum is no longer being applied to the deformable element. The elastically-deformable nasal applicator and the non-return means can deform when pressure is exerted on the nasal applicator so that the applicator and the container can be emptied.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nasal secretion aspiration device. The inventive device consists of: a hollow body (3) which defines a vacuum chamber (9) that can be connected to a vacuum source (10), said chamber (9) comprising an opening (13); and a nasal end piece (2) comprising a first open end (5) which is designed to be inserted into a person's nose and a second open end (7) which is equipped with means for fixing same in a leak-tight, removable manner in the opening (13) of the hollow body (3). According to the invention, the second end (7) is sealed by a non-porous deformable element (8) under a vacuum created in the vacuum chamber (9) by the vacuum source (10).
