Abstract: A larynx mask is provided that comprises a dorsal cover plate with an inflatable cuff integrally formed thereon and a tube connecting connector having an insertion section for connecting to an insertion tube. Two separate lumens are provided in the region of the insertion section, these being the esophageal lumen and a respiration lumen. These two lumens are separated from each other by a separating and supporting, wall. The separating and supporting wall extends from the insertion section to the tip of the larynx mask. While the esophageal lumen opens into an esophageal outlet at the proximal end of the mask, the respiration lumen opens in the ventral direction and is closed in the proximal direction close to the tip of the mask. Such a larynx mask is produced in one piece by way of injection of molding and is reinforced by the separating or supporting wall to prevent kinking.

Abstract: Especially during emergencies, there is a need for laryngeal mask heads with a ventral respiration chamber that has a cuff which surrounds the respiration chamber and which can be adjusted in size without having to be inflated. To meet said need, the laryngeal mask head comprises non-pneumatic structures to adjust the size of the mask head in the medial-lateral direction and the ventral-dorsal direction, which are preferably implemented by open, resilient channels extending in the same direction as the cuff.

Abstract: Thus far, it has not been possible to produce laryngeal masks having a supraglottic tube as a one-piece unit. If the supraglottic tube (2) is provided with three lumens (4, 5, 6), the center one (6) of which has no passage to the respiration space (10), a solution is proposed. What is proposed is that the center guide lumen is provided with a longitudinal slit (8) extending from the distal end (9) to the laryngeal mask head (3). A connecting web can be attached between two cores or sliders forming the lumens, generating the desired stability in order to maintain the pressing power tool state without deformation.

Abstract: Self-opening plastic closures having a pouring spout including a flange, a cutting member that is moveable in the spout and a screw cap for actuating the cutting member. In this invention, the cutting member carries out a translatory cutting motion by the rotational movement of the screw cap. In order to open the sealed packaging, to which the plastic closure is attached, different torques are brought to bear. According to this invention, first means and second means engage with one another successively to produce different advance paths for each revolution of the screw cap.

If the supraglottic tube (2) is provided with three lumens (4, 5, 6), the center one (6) of which has no passage to the respiration room (10), the invention provides a solution.

Thus, a connecting web can be attached between the two cores or sliders forming the lumens, generating the desired stability in order to maintain the pressing power tool state without deformation.

Abstract: Especially during emergencies, there is a need for laryngeal mask heads with a ventral respiration chamber (3) that has a cuff (4) which surrounds the respiration chamber and which can be adjusted in size without having to be inflated. To meet said need, the laryngeal mask head comprises non-pneumatic means (6, 7) to adjust the size in the medial-lateral direction and ventral-dorsal direction (12), which is preferably implemented by open, resilient grooves (10, 20) extending in the same direction as the cuff (4).

Abstract: A supraglottic tube is provided, which despite certain softness has high compressive strength in the proximal distal direction and an adjustable radius of curvature. The supraglottic tube includes at least three lumens. A guiding lumen is located between a respiration lumen and a esophageal lumen. The lumens are separated from each other by separating walls. A guiding means, which includes a pressure element and a tractive element, is located in the guiding lumen. A tractive force can be applied to the tractive element by way of a feed connector and an adjustment unit, in which the pressure element is supported, whereby the radius of curvature of the supraglottic tube can be adjusted.

Abstract: A larynx mask (1) includes a cover plate (12) having a peripheral cull (13) adjoining thereon and is provided with a tube insertion connector (11) at the proximal end, while the tip (4) has a special design at the distal end. The cover plate 12 ends in the region of the tip on the cuff, or even before that, and the esophageal passage (18) runs as an open channel (20) over a constricted region (13?) of the cuff (13). Said channel preferably includes a widening (22) and is delimited on both sides by reinforcement means (21), which are preferably formed by reinforcing walls (21?) or additionally as reinforcing ribs (21?). Said design of the lead-through of the esophageal passage results in a considerable reinforcement of the proximal tip of the larynx mask and therefore counteracts possible kinking of the tip (4).

Abstract: An application device for bone substitute material is disclosed. A cylinder contains a piston rod having an elastically deformable piston. The cylinder is closed via an attachment, through which a wetting liquid phase can be inserted via an injection opening. After a period of time, the wetted bone substitute material is compressed, with excess liquid phase being pressed out through drainage openings. Thereafter, the attachment can be removed and if applicable discharging takes place through a curved discharge nozzle, with the piston being able to adapt itself to the curvature with the benefit of total emptying of the device.

Abstract: Metering devices, particularly for adhesives and sealants, that can be placed on a flexible container by means of an adapted ring, a lever being connected to the ring, and pressing against the container, are known. The invention relates to a metering device whereon the lever is connected to the ring via a deformable spring plate. A push button is formed onto the lever as an extension. Thus, the one-piece metering device is inexpensive and can be produced without needing to be assembled.

Abstract: The invention discloses a supraglottic tube, which despite certain softness has high compressive strength in the proximal distal direction and the radius of curvature can be adjusted. For this purpose, the supraglottic tube comprises at least three lumens. A guiding lumen is located between a lateral respiration lumen and a further lateral esophageal lumen. Said lumens are separated from each other by separating walls. A guiding means, which comprises a pressure element and a tractive element, is located in the guiding lumen. A tractive force can be applied to the tractive element by way of a feed connector and an adjustment unit, in which the pressure element is supported, whereby the radius of curvature of the supraglottic tube is adjusted and it can be better introduced into the patient in the bent state and thereafter the radius of curvature thereof can be adapted to the anatomy of the patient or the position of the patient, thereby maintaining the sealing pressure of the larynx mask around the larynx.

Abstract: The invention relates to a larynx mask comprising a dorsal cover plate with an inflatable cuff integrally formed thereon and a tube connecting connector to a plug region having an adjoining insertion section for connecting to an insertion tube. Two separate lumens are provided in the region of the insertion section, these being the esophageal lumen and a respiration lumen. Said two lumens are separated from each other by a separating or supporting wall. Said separating or supporting wall runs from the insertion section to the tip of the larynx mask. While the esophageal lumen opens into the esophageal outlet at the proximal end, the respiration lumen opens in the ventral direction, while the lumen is closed in the proximal direction close to the tip. Such a larynx mask can be produced in one piece by way of injection molding and at the same time is reinforced by the separating or supporting wall to prevent kinking.

Abstract: In order to manufacture a closure having an improved seal and lower degree of wear at more reasonable cost, a closure is proposed, the closure comprising an upper part (5), a lower part (4) and a conveying sleeve (6) with a sealing pin (65). On the lower part (4) there are two concentric, upwardly directed annular walls (48) which interact under prestress with two corresponding, concentrically downwardly directed annular walls (500) on the upper part (5), which annular walls are directed downwards. The lower part (4) and the conveying sleeve (6) can be manufactured integrally via predetermined breaking point bridges (600), thus making it possible to obtain a cost-saving method of assembly.
