Abstract: Methods and apparatus for designing a skull prosthesis are disclosed. In one arrangement, imaging data from a medical imaging process is received. The imaging data represents the shape of at least a portion of a skull. The imaging data is used to display on a display device a first virtual representation of at least a portion of the skull. User input defining a cutting line in the first virtual representation is received. A surgical operation of cutting through the skull along at least a portion of the defined cutting line to at least partially disconnect a target portion of the skull from the rest of skull is simulated. Output data is provided based on the simulation. The output data represents a simulated shape of at least a portion of the skull with the target portion at least partially disconnected from the rest of the skull, thereby defining the shape of an implantation site for a skull prosthesis to be manufactured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device (1) for a syringe (2), the device comprising a protective sheath (20) in which the syringe (2) can slide, said sheath (20) presenting an opening (36) at a distal portion (33), which opening is suitable for allowing the syringe (2) to project beyond the sheath (20). According to the invention, the sheath (20) presents radial resilience at its distal portion (33) suitable for enabling the sheath (20) to receive a cylinder (3, 19) of diameter greater than that of said opening (36).

Abstract: Device for supplying domiciliary and ambulatory oxygen, comprising an oxygen filling station and a portable oxygen reserve that can be selectively connected to the filling station, the filling station comprising an oxygen concentrator intended to isolate gaseous oxygen from the air, a liquefier connected to one outlet of the concentrator to receive the isolated gaseous oxygen so that it can be liquefied, a transfer connector connected to one outlet of the liquefier and intended to be connected to an inlet connector of the reserve, the reserve comprising a tank connected to the inlet connector so that liquid oxygen can be transferred from the filling station to the tank, a delivery system comprising members for tapping off, heating and regulating the flow of the oxygen from the tank so as to deliver gaseous oxygen to a patient.

Abstract: The assembly comprises a body forming a reservoir for the liquid, the body being provided with a liquid-injection needle, a plunger mounted to be axially movable in the body between a ready position and an end-of-injection position, and a sheath in which the body is mounted to be axially movable between an active position in which the needle projects from a distal end of the sheath, and a protecting position in which the needle is retracted inside the sheath. The assembly also comprises means for axially securing the plunger and the sheath in a relative position of said plunger and said sheath serving firstly to position the body in its protecting position relative to the sheath and secondly to position the plunger in its end-of-injection position relative to the body.

Abstract: Transportable device for storing and delivering oxygen includes a casing containing a cryogenic tank, a heating circuit connected to the tank including at least one member for heating/vaporizing the oxygen originating from the tank for the purpose of its being supplied to a user, a circuit for filling the cryogenic tank including a fluidic connection member designed to be connected, in a filling direction, to a matching connector of a liquid oxygen reserve, a venting valve connected inside the tank, a manually actuated movable member for controlling the venting valve, the control member being movable relative to the casing for actuating the valve via a system for transmitting movement between closed and open positions of the venting valve so in moving from closed to open positions, the control member describes a movement having at least one component oriented substantially towards the inside of the casing and/or in the filling direction.

Abstract: A transportable device for storing and delivering oxygen includes a casing (3) containing a cryogenic tank (1) designed to contain liquid oxygen, a heating circuit connected to the tank (1) including at least one member (2, 12) for heating/vaporizing the oxygen originating from the tank (1) for the purpose of its being supplied to a user. The device includes a pedestal (4) furnished with at least one rolling member (5) for allowing the displacement by rolling of the device, the pedestal (4) and the casing (3) including conjugate coupling members (6, 16; 7, 17) displaceable between an active position of locking of the casing (3) on the pedestal (4) and an inactive position of unlatching of the casing (3) relative to the pedestal (4).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety device (2) for a prefilled syringe (1), the syringe comprising a body (3), a needle carrier (4), a piston (6) movable inside the body, and a piston rod (7) suitable for pushing the piston inside the body towards the needle carrier. The device comprises a protective sheath (10) in which the syringe body can slide between an injection position and a safe position in which the needle is withdrawn inside the sheath, said device (2) comprising a resilient element (15) suitable for acting on the syringe to bring in into its safe position after injection, said resilient element presenting two axial ends and comprising at least two elastically-deformable arms extending between said two axial ends, one of the ends (20) being arranged so as to be capable of sliding freely relative to the piston rod (7) prior to injection, and/or one of the ends being arranged in such a manner as to be capable of being fixed to the protective sheath (10) in a position of adjustable height.
