Abstract: The device comprises an autoclave (2) defining a sterilisation chamber (3) for the items to be sterilised, and a single exhaust duct (13), provided with a cooling pipe coil (15a) and a suction pump (17) and through which the condensate, steam and exhaust air of the chamber (3) are caused to pass. The duct (13) discharges into an exhaust tank (14) disposed within the sterilizer container, and does not pass through the water-feeding tank (4) that is therefore devoid of a cooling pipe coil. The process involves at least one step of cooling the exhaust duct (13) and the pipe coil (15a) during evacuation of the sterilisation chamber (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The surface of a lower disk of a turbine is lower than the surface of an upper disk. The lower disk has a smaller diameter than the upper disk and a diameter which is greater than or equal to the diameter of an annular space. A device for agitating a liquid in a reactor and injection of a gas into a liquid has a driving device above a receiver, with a vertical output axle with at least one movable device with axis flow immersed in the liquid, and a self-drawing turbine immersed in the reactor which can be driven by the output shaft. The output shaft is enclosed by a coaxial cylinder the lower end of which opens in the turbine and the upper end of which is connected in a sealed manner to the driving device. The cylinder is pierced with a hole for injecting gas in an annular space between the shaft and the cylinder. The turbine is made of two superimposed disks and an assembly of radial blades placed between the disks and fixed to them. The upper disk is pierced with a central hole into which fits the bottom end of the cylinder to describe an annular space between the cylinder and the edge of the hole by which liquid is drawn into the turbine. The gas-liquid dispersion expelled radially by the turbine is directed towards the axial flow device. The lower disk is at least partly hollow in the form of a ring. The axial flow moving device is a helix. An annular casing forms a deflector to send the gas- liquid dispersion ejected radially by the turbine to the axial flow moving device, pierced with two opposing central holes coaxial with the shaft. No additional agitator is placed on the output shaft below the axial flow device.

Abstract: A wound treatment agent (A1) comprises a zeolite-iodine inclusion compound (c1). An independent claim is included for a wound-stilling material, where (A1) is covered on the side facing towards the wound, by a porous textile fibrous material (preferably non-woven or knitted fabric) and a moisture-permeable sheet. ACTIVITY : Vulnerary. Physiological saline (45 ml) was admixed with a germ suspension of Staphylococcus aureus to obtain a concentration of 1.5x10 7> cfu/ml. To this germ suspension, zeolite-iodine complex (10%) (1 g) was added, followed by slight agitation. After different periods of time, 1 ml each was removed, and the number of surviving germs was determined by a plate-casting method in TSA-agar. Incubation was effected at 37[deg]C for 24 hours. The results were: sampling after 1 minutes: strong growth; sampling after 5 minutes: no growth; sampling after 15 minutes: no growth; and sampling after 30 minutes: no growth. Thus, the zeolite-iodine complex released so much iodine under these conditions that all the germs were killed. MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given.
