Abstract: A pacifier (1) comprising a bladder body (2) and a stop disc (4) interconnected by a transition and connection portion (6), as the bladder body (2) is shaped with an asymmetric, in the user position against a tongue (22) of a child (14) concave portion (24) and comprising a branch (18) sloping downward and inward and a bladder part (20) directed upward and inward, where at least the bladder part (20) is provided with a cavity, and wherein the bladder part (20) comprises a tongue plate (28) and a palate plate (30) where the tongue plate (28) and the palate plate (30) are interconnected along their edge portion in a bulb (32).

Abstract: A laparoscopic instrument (1) including a grip (2) provided with an actuator (3) which can effect, through a linkage (5), the manipulation of an effector (9) placed at a first end portion of a tubular element (7), the tubular element (7) being attached to the grip (2) of the instrument (1), in which there is arranged a ratchet mechanism, in which a pawl (24) is arranged to cooperate with a substantially complementary ratchet bar (22), teeth of the pawl (24) being arranged to be activated or deactivated for engaging teeth of the ratchet bar (22), by means of a connection switch (26) and the connection switch (26) being connected to the pawl (24) of the ratchet mechanism (20) via a flexible element (28).

Abstract: The present invention is constituted by an instrument (1) for use in laparoscopic surgery, including a grip (2) which is provided with an actuator (3), and which effects, through a linkage (3?, 5, 6), the manipulation of an effector (9). The effector (9) is positioned at a first end portion of a tubular element (7), the tubular element (7) being attached to the grip (2) of the instrument (1). The linkage (3?, 5, 6) causes the relative movement of the actuator (3) to be non-linear relative to the relative movement of the effector (9).

Abstract: A pacifier of the dummy type comprises a bubble body (18) on which the child sucks, and a stop disc (16) against which the child's lips (22, 24) rest supportingly in the pacifier's position of use. The bubble body (18) and the stop disc (16) are interconnected through an intermediate transition and connecting portion (20) accommodating possible front teeth (26, 28)/gums. The bubble body (18) is given an asymmetrical shape in respect of its connection point on the transition and connecting portion (20), comprising at least one elongate leg (18a) sloping downwardly in its longitudinal direction towards the free end thereof, forming an impact and support face for the adjacent portion of the tongue (34). The stop disc (16) comprises an upper and a lower portion (16a, 16b) somewhat displaced from each other in the longitudinal axial direction of the pacifier, forming suitable stop and support faces for the child's lips (22, 24).
