Abstract: A splint (2) for a radial artery compression system (1) or an arterial wrist support, which is provided with one or more longitudinal reinforcement profiles (10a, 10b) on the bottom surface thereof. Whereby the reinforcement profiles (10a, 10b) form a support structure (11), such that the splint (2) when placed on a flat surface is supported in one position without wobbling. The splint (2) may further be comprised of a non-rigid material such as polystyrene, paper (preferably recycled) and the like, such that a disposable splint (2) may be achieved.

Abstract: A bearing unit having a sealed single-row deep-groove ball bearing. The sealed single-row deep-groove ball bearing includes an outer race ring with a sphered outer envelope surface, a housing with a sphered bore for accommodating the bearing, an inner race ring with a taper bore, and a correspondingly tapered clamping sleeve provided in the bore of the inner race ring and having a flange provided on at least one side of the bearing. The flange has at least one bore, and at least one tightening device for causing a force on the bearing inner race ring for displacing the inner race ring along the clamping sleeve thereby causing a clamping effect between the inner race ring and the sleeve and between the sleeve and a shaft on which the bearing unit is mounted. The bore of the flange includes a threaded through-bore extending at an acute angle with respect to an axial direction of an inner envelope surface of the sleeve.
