Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment device (1) for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially of a motor vehicle, has a multipart housing (2), which contains an oxidation-type catalytic converter unit (5) and, downstream therefrom, a particle filter unit (6) one after another in an axial direction extending in parallel to a longitudinal direction (3) of the housing. The housing (2) contains an inlet housing part (7), which has an exhaust gas inlet (8) and the oxidation-type catalytic converter unit (5), and an outlet housing part (9), which has an exhaust gas outlet (10) and into which the particle filter unit (6) axially protrudes.

Abstract: A sterile sealed flexible package contains a transparent sheet-form wound dressing which comprises a wholly synthetic hydrophilic water-insoluble cross-linked polymer swollen with an aqueous liquid. The package is formed by introducing the sheet-form polymer and aqueous liquid into the flexible package, sealing the package and then sterilizing it in an autoclave in which the temperature and pressure are independently variable. The polymer is usually formed by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, usually acrylic monomers, e.g. hydroxy alkyl (meth) acrylates and/or (meth) acrylic acid, with copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated cross-linking agent, and is capable of absorbing at least its own dry weight of 0.9% by weight saline. The swollen polymer gel is used as a wound dressing.
