Abstract: An ergonomic inflatable decubitus positioning support for medical use has a central opening, shaped for at least abdominal reception of a patient in ventral decubitus, and an inflatable load-bearing peripheral structure surrounding the central opening. This inflatable load-bearing peripheral structure extends according to a mainly rectangular inflatable shape with two lateral portions and two transversal portions, shaped in such a way that one of the two transversal portions, the so-called upper transversal portion, has at least locally, when the load-bearing peripheral structure is inflated, an inflated cross-section of smaller dimensions than those of the inflated cross-sections of the two lateral portions for an upper thoracic reception of the patient.

Abstract: Disclosed is an implant intended to be introduced into a human or animal body cavity, and includes two walls intended to grip between them a biological protuberance present in the cavity in order to attach the implant to the biological protuberance. Each wall includes a structural element having corrugations such that the structural element is folded up on itself several times, enabling the wall to be folded up before the introduction of the implant, then deployed inside the cavity.

Abstract: This inflatable balloon includes a balloon body, an inflation opening for the introduction of a fluid into the balloon body so as to inflate it under pressure, and at least one device for measuring a biological quantity of cavity tissues and/or of biological fluids present in this cavity. The measuring device includes an external sensor attached on an external face of the wall of the balloon body and adapted to supply an electrical measurement signal sensitive to the measured biological quantity, and an internal module located inside the balloon body and including a processing device adapted to process the electrical measurement signal in order to provide at least one measurement of the biological quantity.
