The present invention relates to a cosmetic process for a keratin substance such as the skin or the lips, comprising the steps of: applying onto the keratin substance at least one composition comprising at least one coloring agent; and applying onto the keratin substance, to which the composition has been applied, a microneedle sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a plurality of microneedles on the substrate sheet such that the microneedles are capable of penetrating into the keratin substance. According to the present invention, microneedles can penetrate into a keratin substance to provide the keratin substance with long lasting and uniform color effects.

The invention relates to a patient interface comprising a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilizing structure, as well as the method of operating the patient interface. The patient's interface is configured to leave a patient's mouth uncovered or if the seal-forming structure is configured to seal around a patient's nose and mouth, the patient interface is configured to allow the patient to breath from the ambient in an absence of the flow of pressurized. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear, and the seal-forming structure and at least a portion of the headgear is formed from a one piece construction of textile material. In another embodiment, the seal-forming structure and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure includes an adaptive portion that adjusts based on usage conditions. In another embodiment, the positioning and stabilizing structure, the seal-forming structure and/or the plenum chamber includes and/or is formed of a textile material, and the textile material includes at least one magnetic thread constructed of magnetic material to provide a magnetic interaction between a first part of the patient interface and a second part of the patient interface. In another embodiment, a stiffener is coupled to the plenum chamber, the seal-forming structure, and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure. In another embodiment, at least one of the plenum chamber and the seal-forming structure includes a textile material; and wherein the textile material includes a surface structure that limits adhesion of debris. A UV cleaning receptacle of the patient interface is also disclosed.

An illustrated view of an exemplary emergency kit for use in an emergency medical condition and a method for automating the ordering of the emergency kits for dentist is presented. The emergency kit is useful for providing short-term medical relief in an emergency while waiting for ambulance or other emergency medical personnel to arrive at the scene. The emergency kit provides a useful medical syringe for use by a dentist in a mouth of a patient experiencing an emergency medical condition.

A nasal respiratory apparatus comprising a compressible nasal dam is removably engaged with an air chamber to provide respiratory gas to a patient. The air chamber has a gas connection port, at least one nasal conduit, a nasal end tidal sample port, wherein the gas connection port is configured to receive an externally supplied gas via a gas supply tube and wherein the at least one nasal conduit in fluid communication with the gas connection port. The nasal dam has a least one nares port corresponding to the at least one nasal conduit of the air chamber, the nares port extending from an upper external surface of the nasal dam to a lower external surface of the nasal dam such that the upper external surface of the nasal dam interfaces with soft tissue of a patients nasal base to provide a substantial seal around the patients nasal base to facilitate respiratory gas supply to the patient.

The present invention provides dental amalgam recycling systems, useful for recycling particles from a dental liquid effluent drawn, for example, from a suctioning device.

A suction device includes a negative pressure generator, a connector and a mask; the negative pressure generator comprises a housing and a piston rod, wherein the housing is internally provided with a cavity, an upper end of the housing is provided with an avoidance hole communicated with the cavity, and a lower end thereof is provided with an opening communicated with the cavity; the piston rod comprises a push-pull rod and a piston sleeved on the push-pull rod, an upper end of the push-pull rod runs through the avoidance hole, and the piston is movably and hermetically connected to an inner side wall of the housing by means of a sealing ring; an upper side of the mask is provided with a through first connecting cylinder, and a lower side thereof is provided with a flexible annular pad configured to fit with the face.

The invention relates to a product dispensing device configured to cooperate with a product reservoir that has product dispensing means, having a dispensing duct which is configured to dispense a product from the product dispensing means into the mouth of a user in a manner that is sealed against outside air, trigger means that trigger the dispensing of the product when the air pressure (Ai) in the dispensing duct is a predefined value greater than the pressure of the outside air (A). The invention further relates to a product administration kit having such a product dispensing device and to a product administration unit having such a product dispensing device.

A patient cleaning kit having a package; an insert within the package, the insert and the package forming a first cavity and a second cavity; a cover coupled to the package, the cover and the package together enveloping the insert; a premoistened nasal swab within the first cavity; an oral swab within the second cavity; a toothbrush within the second cavity; and a bottle of germicidal solution within the package.

A cushion assembly for a patient interface includes an elastomeric seal-forming portion with a dome-shaped superior region that is intersected by the sagittal plane in the vicinity of a superior tangent point. The seal-forming portion further including a saddle-shaped inferior region that is intersected by the sagittal plane and includes an inferior tangent point. A first support region is located on one side of the sagittal plane between the inferior region and the superior region, the exterior surface of the elastomeric seal forming portion at the first support region being cylinder-shaped and/or saddle-shaped. In addition, a blowout prevention system is configured to counter a force acting on the unsupported edge of the elastomeric seal-forming portion due to a pressure within the chamber, the blowout prevention system being attached to the elastomeric seal-forming portion at the first support region of the elastomeric seal-forming portion.

A patient interface may include a plenum chamber and a positioning and stabilising structure. The plenum chamber may include a seal-forming structure and a fascia portion. At least a medial portion of the fascia portion is flexible. In embodiments, the patient interface may include a rigidiser to control flexing of the fascia portion.
