Abstract: Disclosed is a medical dressing having a pad and a border portion. The pad can have a rim and the border portion extends along said rim. The medical dressing can be arranged in a first substantially planar configuration and be folded along a first line, and a second portion of said medical dressing is formed and a second substantially cup-shaped configuration. The first portion can be facing and contacting said second portion. Said first substantially planar configuration the first and second portions can be connected by means of a fixed connection along a second line, which defines a second line segment having a first and a second end-point. The first and second line segments are connected at their respective first end-points such that an angle between 90 and 175 degrees is formed between the first and second line segments when the medical dressing is in the first substantially planar configuration.

Abstract: A medical dressing having a geometrical plane of symmetry. A border portion extends along the contour of the pad. A central portion of the dressing has a smaller width perpendicular to the plane of symmetry than the widths of the adjoining portions. The medical dressing comprises a gripping tab which is coplanar with the border portion and which projects outwardly from the border portion. The medical dressing may be used for pressure ulcer prevention, such as at a heel of a human body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cermet body essentially free from nitrogen where the binder phase is Co in an amount of from about 5 to about 25 vol % Co, further comprising TiC and WC in amounts so that the atomic Ti:W ratio is from about 2.5 to about 10. The cermet body further comprising Cr in an amount such that the atomic Cr:Co ratio is from about 0.025 to about 0.14. The cermet body is free from nucleated of Ti—W—C cores. The invention also relates to a method of making a cermet body.

Abstract: A TiC-based cermet body includes TiC and WC so that the atomic ratio Ti/W is between 2 to 5, and cobalt as the binder phase is present in an amount of between 5 to 25 vol %. Further, the cermet body has at least one element from group V of the periodic table, Mx, so that the atomic ratio Ti/Mx is between 4 to 20 and the atomic ratio W/Mx is between 1 to 6. The cermet body also has Cr in an amount such that the atomic Cr/Co ratio is from 0.025 to 0.14. The cermet body includes both undissolved TiC cores with a rim of (Ti,W,Mx)C alloy as well as (Ti,W,Mx)C grains which have been formed during sintering. A method of making a cermet body is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cuffing insert for turning in heat resistant superalloys and stainless steels comprising a very fine grained hard substrate and a coating. The substrate comprises WC from about 5 to about 8 wt % Co and from about 0.3 to about 1.5 wt % Cr. In addition to that ppm levels of Ti and Ta are present. The ratio of Me/Co=(at-% Ti+ at-% Nb+ at-% Ta)/at-% Co is lower than or equal to about 0.014?(CW_Cr)*0.008 and higher than about 0.0005. The average sintered WC-grain size is from about 0.5 to about 0.95 ?m and CW_Cr from about 0.75 to about 0.95. The cemented carbide body is coated with a PVD TixAl1-xN-coating with an average composition of x being greater than about 0.4 but less than about 0.9, present as a single or multilayer coating with a total thickness of from about 1 to about 6 ?m.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a composite diamond body from powders of diamond particles and powders forming a binder phase comprising cobalt powder having mainly a fcc-structure and a grain size (FSSS) of from about 0.2 to about 2.9 ?m., with a pressing and sintering operation. The present invention also relates to a composite diamond body made according to the method.
