Abstract: A test arrangement for the detection of a substance in which the testing arrangement includes a plastic sleeve, an ampule which holds a test liquid and which is disposed in the plastic sleeve, a container having a mixing space for holding and for mixing the test liquid and the substance, an activation element whose actuation causes a breaking open of the ampule so the test liquid is released to the mixing space, and a test swab for being immersed in the mixing space.

Abstract: A device for discharging a flowable substance, in particular for applying a medical substance, a pharmaceutical substance, a food supplement or a cosmetics, includes_an activation mechanism and a body which has a discharge opening at a first end and forms a containing space in which a frangible capsule is disposed. The capsule has two ends each having a first and a second tip and at least one of the two tips can be snapped off by actuating the activation mechanism so that the flowable substance is discharged.

Abstract: An applicator is proposed comprising an outer sleeve having a cylindrical inner surface and a receiving space for a flowable substance to be applied and an inner sleeve which can be displaced in the outer sleeve and in which a frangible ampule containing the flowable substance is disposed and which has an opening connecting an interior of the inner sleeve to the receiving space of the outer sleeve and an activation means upon whose activation the ampule breaks.

Abstract: The surgical instrument comprises a forceps tool (5) having a forceps base (21) and at least two forceps fingers (29) guided such that they can move relative to one another on the forceps base (21), and a manual actuation element for opening and closing the forceps element (5). The manual actuation element is connected to the forceps tool (5) via an elongated, flexible actuation cable (3) which comprises a tubular, flexible cable sheath (13) connected to the forceps base (21) and a flexible cable core (15) guided displaceably in the cable sheath (13) and connected to the forceps fingers (29) for opening and closing the forceps tool (5). At least the forceps fingers (29) of the forceps tool (5) are made of a non-ferromagnetic or substantially non-ferromagnetic metal, in particular titanium.
