20110220117LARYNX MASK HAVING AN ESOPHAGEAL PASSAGE - A larynx mask comprises a cover plate having a peripheral cuff adjoining thereon and is provided with a tube insertion connector at the distal end, while the tip has a special design at the proximal end. The cover plate ends in the region of the tip on the cuff, or even before that, and the esophageal passage runs as an open channel over a constricted region of the cuff. Said channel preferably comprises a widening and is delimited on both sides by reinforcement means, which are preferably formed by reinforcing walls or additionally as reinforcing ribs. 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.09-15-2011
20110226256LARYNX MASK HAVING A CONNECTOR - 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.09-22-2011
20120083790DEVICE FOR THE APPLICATION OF BONE SUBSTITUTE MATERIAL - 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.04-05-2012
20120090609SUPRAGLOTTIC TUBE FOR INSERTING A LARYNX MASK - 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.04-19-2012

20150290413LARYNX MASK HAVING A CONNECTOR - 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.10-15-2015

20090250488Closable Opening Device Produced With a Semifinished Product and Method of Fitting the Same - A pouring nozzle with a flange and an internal thread and an external thread, and also a cutting element having an upper rim and a lower rim formed with teeth. A screw cap with catches acts on catches of the cutting element. To make fitting easier, the cutting element and the pouring nozzle are produced as a one-piece semifinished product, wherein the cutting element is connected to the lower rim by weakened bridges so that the lower rim of the cutting element lies in a plane with the upper rim of the pouring nozzle and the teeth are protected in the pouring nozzle. This structural design allows an easy fitting which also reduces the reject rate.10-08-2009
20090277860SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCT FOR PRODUCING AN OPENING APPARATUS - An apparatus for opening sealed packaging, including three parts, a pouring nozzle having a flange, a cylindrical cutting element and a screwcap. According to this invention, all three parts of the apparatus are produced in one piece as a semi-finished product. The teeth of the cutting element protrude into the pouring nozzle, while the screwcap is held on the flat edge of the cutting element. The three parts are connected to one another via predetermined breaking point bridges. This invention reduces the production costs and simplifies the assembly and the systems which are required for this purpose.11-12-2009
20090277903Semi-finished product for producing a plastic closure from two parts - A semi-finished product for the rational manufacture and assembly of a two-part closure of a spout element and of a screw cap. The spout element and the screw cap are manufactured as one piece in a coherent manner via breakage bridges. Tooling costs for injection mold tools are thus saved, and the assembly of the closure of the semi-finished product is simplified because of the defined, radial alignment of both parts.11-12-2009
