Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmic viscoelastic device, comprising at least one viscoelastic polymer, wherein the at least one viscoelastic polymer is covalently bound to at least one phenolic compound. The invention also relates to a method for producing an ophthalmic viscoelastic device, in which at least one phenolic compound is covalently bound to at least one water-soluble, viscoelastic polymer.

Abstract: An intraocular lens to be implanted into the capsular bag after ablation of the crystalline lens includes a central optical portion and a haptic portion including haptic members arranged on the periphery of the optical part and for positioning the intraocular lens in the capsular bag. On the one hand, the posterior surface of the optical portion includes a sharp ridge at the peripheral edge and, on the other hand, the posterior surface of the haptic members includes a proximal area in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the optical portion, each proximal area including at least one tooth extending substantially along the entire width of each haptic member, the tooth or teeth having a sharp edge that becomes serrated in the posterior capsule in order to limit the migration of the epithelial cells of the haptic members towards the optical portion.

Abstract: A medical use bandage is configured to immobilize, and to facilitate the use of, a tube implanted in a body. The implanted tube defines a body exit site, and a part of the tube projects from the body. The bandage includes a base support having a lower face for application to the skin and an upper face, a first bandage fixing portion for fixing the exit site, including on the lower face of the base support an adhesive fixing part to be adhered at least partly around the exit site to the skin and to a proximal portion of the projecting part of the tube, and a second bandage fixing portion for engaging the distal portion of the projecting part of the tube in a defined shape and in a sliding manner. The second bandage fixing portion is at least partly a part of the upper face of the support.

Abstract: A meatal plug, comprising a stem and a bulb arranged at one end of the stem, the bulb protruding laterally over said stem, a hole being formed in the plug, and the hole opening at the end of the stem opposite the bulb and said hole extending at least into the bulb, characterized in that the ratio of the height dimension of the stem, measured along its longitudinal axis to the length dimension along this same bulb axis is greater than 1, preferably greater than 2.5, the ratio of the width dimension of the bulb to its length, i.e. measured in a direction perpendicular to the stem axis, is greater than 1, preferably greater than 2.5.

Abstract: An intraocular lens provided for implantation into an eye, includes a lens body having a central region, haptics for holding the intraocular lens in place within the eye after implantation, and an activatable zone outside the central region. After implantation of the intraocular lens into the eye, the lens body is deformed in the central region and/or at least one of the position, the rotation or the tilt of the intraocular lens within the eye changes upon irradiating only the activatable zone with laser radiation.

Abstract: A device and a method for a peritoneal dialysis treatment having several cycles include a cycler controlled by a processor. The cycler fills the abdominal cavity with dialysis fluid, and drains the abdominal cavity. A sensor senses a variable related to the draining of the dialysis fluid. The draining is interrupted when the variable reaches a breakpoint at which the variable is radically changed, thereby leaving the residual volume of fluid.

Abstract: The invention relates to an intraocular lens comprising at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable photochromic polymer that enables all or part of the intraocular lens to change colour reversibly when exposed to light.

Abstract: A lens cassette for a lens injector includes a tubular body and a piston mobile in the tubular body to move forward a lens towards an injection cannula. The device includes a housing (30, 31) for an intraocular lens (10), an inserting zone (33) for the piston, and outlet zone (35) for the lens and its own closure element (25, 26) for enclosing the lens. The cassette is made of a material enabling sterilization of the lens enclosed in the cassette, while providing a prolonged shelf life. The cassette assembly with the lens and the injector can be sterilized in a sealed flask by gamma radiation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device and a method for a peritoneal dialysis treatment in several cycles. A cycler (1) controlled by a processor (31) fills the abdominal cavity with dialysis fluid, and drains the abdominal cavity. A sensor (37) senses a variable related to the draining of the dialysis fluid. The draining is interrupted when the variable reaches a breakpoint at which the variable is radically changed, thereby leaving the residual volume.
