Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of an impermeable connection between at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components, the silicone hose components and a silicone connector component are first prepared. Afterwards a fluid silicone mass is applied to at least one connecting area where the silicone hose components abut on the silicone connector components. The at least one connecting area is post cured to harden the silicone mass. In a fluid carrying assembly with at least two fluid carrying silicone hose components and at least one silicone connector component, a fluid carrying connection is manufactured between these components by means of this process. This design results in a connecting technique that is, on the one hand, secure and, on the other hand, enables automation of the manufacture of an impermeable connection and thus of the fluid carrying assembly.

Abstract: A device for oral application of a substance, comprising an inner tube surrounding a first volume an outer tube surrounding a second volume, the second volume comprising a cavity section adjoining an inlet opening of the outer tube being adapted for containing the substance, a separation area arranged in the second volume, the separation area adjoining the cavity section and the first volume, and a selective connecting passage between the cavity section and a pressure compensation space to selectively enable a flow of the substance from the cavity section though the first volume. A kit-of-parts, comprises the inventive device a predefined amount of a substance being contained in a receptacle or the cavity section, and instructions for the use of the substance. Methods for filling the inventive device as well as to a method for oral application using the inventive device are provided.

Abstract: A device (1) is used for measuring brain parameters. This device has a catheter sensor unit (2) which can be implanted distally in a minimally-invasive manner in the parenchyma and/or the ventricles, guided through the cranial bone (4). The sensor unit (2) can be fixed proximally to the cranial bone. For this purpose a proximal circumferential portion of the sensor unit (2) has a self-cutting outer screw thread (5) for fastening the sensor unit (2) to the cranial bone (4). The result is a device which can be fastened in a secure, permanent and at the same time inexpensive manner preventing movement relative to the cranial bone.

Abstract: A sensor system serves for measuring, transmitting, processing and representing physiological parameters. The sensor system has least one sensor for measuring at least one physiological parameter. At least one data processing module is in a signal connection with the sensor via a signal cable. A display device serves to represent the sensor data. An expansion module serves to transmit telemetry data. The expansion module may be connected to the data processing module via an interface on the latter. Via a cable-free telemetry line, the expansion module is connected to the at least one sensor or at least one additional sensor for measuring at least one physiological parameter. There results a sensor system in which the patient's freedom of movement is enhanced due to the possibility of using telemetry sensors.
