Abstract: A hardening initiation lamp for illumination of a light-hardenable bandage, where the lamp is shaped so that it can at least partially enclose the bandage, the lamp including an inner side, which is substantially arranged to face inwards towards the bandage when the latter is illuminated, and an outer side, which is substantially arranged to face away from the bandage when the latter is illuminated, the lamp further including at least one hardening light source having means to initiate a hardening process in the bandage, and at least one illumination light source, which can emit light in the visible spectrum, arranged to illuminate the bandage at least while the hardening process is initiated in the bandage, both the hardening light source and the illumination light source being arranged to emit light from the inner side, substantially in the direction of the bandage, and the lamp further including one or more observation areas, where a light filter is arranged, which allows light from the illumination light

Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopedic bandage set including A) a light hardenable bandage material and B) a lighting appliance, where A) includes at least one loose or coherent material which is fibrous, porous or particulate, and which has been impregnated with a light hardenable composition including the constituents I and II and possibly III and possibly IV, where I includes at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound, where II is a light activatable polymerization initiator system, where III includes at least one passive polymer, and where IV includes one or more additional auxiliary materials, and where B) includes a shell-like structure having two principal surfaces and possibly one or more edge surfaces which connect the principal surfaces, which shell-like structure embedded in its interior or attached to its one principal surface has one or more primary light sources, of which at least one is capable of emitting light having at least one wavelength in the range 200-750 nm, and which shell-like s

Abstract: It is already known that heat insulating elements, e.g. in refrigerators, may be more efficient if they are sealingly encapsulated and subjected to a high vacuum. Based on theoretical considerations in connection with foam having small cells it has been relevant to use a vacuum of the magnitude of 0.001 mbar and hermetical sealing of the elements. According to the invention it has been found that practically well usable results are achievable at much higher pressures, viz. in a range about 1 mbar, which is much easier to produce. Consequently, a further simplification can be obtained by renouncing the hermetical sealing and relying on an only "almost tight" sealing, combined with the use of an operationally active vacuum pump provided in each apparatus unit.
