Abstract: Medical device having a housing with a door that transmits optical signals A medical device (1; 1?) comprises: a housing (10), a signal source (11) arranged at a section (100) of the housing (10), a control device (12) for controlling the emission of an optical signal by the signal source (11) in dependence of an operation of the medical device (1; 1?), and a door (13; 13) movably connected to the housing (10), wherein the section (100) of the housing (10) is covered by the door (13; 13) in a closed state of the door (12), and exposed in an open state of the door (13; 13?), the door (13; 13) comprising an optical device (14) adapted to transmit at least partially the optical signal through the door (13; 13?) when the door (13; 13) is in the closed state, such that the optical signal of the signal source (11) can be seen by an operator both when the door (13; 13?) is in the closed state and when the door (13; 13?) is the open state.

Abstract: A medical device (1) for administering a medical fluid to a patient (4) comprises a housing (10) comprising a housing portion (11), a control device (19) for controlling operation of the medical device (1), a control element (18) placed on said housing portion (11) and being actuatable for entering a control command to be input to the control device (119), wherein the control element (18), for actuation, is at least one of rotatable about an axis of rotation (R) and linearly movable along the axis of rotation (R) with respect to said housing portion (11), and an actuation element (15) operatively connected to the control element (18) for actuating the control element (18). Herein, the actuation element (15) comprises a first knob element (17) operatively connected to the control element (18) and a second knob element (16) supported on said housing portion (11).

Abstract: A self-closing antiseptic plaster (1) for puncturing blood vessels, muscle tissue, tissue, skin, organs (biopsy) or bone marrow is puncturable by cannulas, needles or the like. It has a backing layer (2), a sealing layer (5) made of a material having an elastic restoring force and a skin adhesive layer (3) applied to the underside U of the backing layer (2), the sealing layer being applied to the backing layer (2) by means of an adhesive layer (4). The backing layer (2) is usually thin. The backing layer (2), the sealing layer (5), the adhesive layer (4) and the skin adhesive layer (3) are transparent or approximately transparent in the entire area or at least in a superimposed partial area. The backing layer (2) and the sealing layer (5) are made of thin and soft materials so that any puncture site is visible and/or palpable through the self-closing antiseptic plaster (1). The advantages include the fact that the antiseptic state at the puncture site is preserved before, during and after the puncturing.

Abstract: A self-closing external vessel plug (1) with an integrated wide-lumen needle for puncturing vessels in the human or animal body has a pressure chamber (8), a closure part (5), a closure element (6), a pressure wall part (7), and flexible wings (13) for fixing on the body. The wide-lumen needle has a cannula (3) integrated with a connection part (2), and a protective cap (12) that can be fitted onto the cannula (3). The cannula (3) penetrates the closure element (6) and the pressure wall part (7). The protective cap (12) that can be fitted onto the cannula (3) is connected to a protective film (11) in such a way that the protective film (11) together with the protective cap (12) is applied to and can be torn off from a layer of medical skin adhesive (10) applied on the pressure wall part (7). The flexible wings (13) are formed by parts of the closure part (5), pressure wall part (7) and protective film (11).
