Abstract: Medical device (1) for effecting heat treatment and local delivery of a fluid medicament on body tissue presenting a predetermined section of a boundary wall of a passageway in a human or animal body comprising a catheter-like member (12) for insertion into the passageway to a predetermined insertion position, the catheter-like member being provided with an inflatable balloon structure (11) having a boundary wall which is inflatable against the body tissue when the catheter-like member (12) is in the predetermined insertion position and delivery means (2,11,25) for local delivery of the fluid medicament on the body tissue when the catheter-like member (12) is in the predetermined insertion position, and a heating arrangement (10,15) which is adapted to heat the body tissue when the catheter-like member (12) is in the predetermined insertion position. The delivery means (2,11,25) comprises a supply channel (25) for supply of the fluid medicament to the balloon structure (11) and a construction for the boundary wall (2) of the balloon structure (11) which is permeable to the fluid medicament. Supply of the fluid medicament to the balloon structure along the supply channel (25) when the catheter-like member (12) is in the predetermined insertion position thereby causes the balloon structure (11) to inflate and fluid medicament to be delivered locally on the body tissue through the boundary wall (2) of the balloon structure (11).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une dispersion colloïdale à base de lignine destinée à être incorporée dans une huile lubrifiante ou du bitume, qui est préparée à partir d'un résidu de liqueur noire. Dans un procédé faisant l'objet de cette invention, une première étape consiste à convertir la liqueur noire pour la faire passer de son système colloïdal aqueux à une dispersion colloïdale anhydre dans un milieu à base d'huile lubrifiante ré-affinée, dans lequel un tensioactif, tel que du DDBSA (acide sulfurique dodécylbenzène), est utilisé pour favoriser la dispersion colloïdale. Dans une seconde étape, du bitume est mélangé au produit obtenu dans la première étape. Dans un autre procédé faisant l'objet de cette invention, du bitume est d'abord traité avec un acide inorganique, tel que de l'acide sulfurique, à température élevée. La liqueur noire alcaline est ensuite ajoutée lentement au bitume traité à l'acide, avec agitation, en vue d'obtenir un déshydratation à une vitesse régulée, afin de former une dispersion colloïdale stable sensiblement anhydre dans le bitume.
