A personal respiratory protection device comprising a main body () carrying an exhalation valve (), the valve () having a grip region () which is grippable in use by the user, the grip region () being configured to indicate to the user that the valve () is to be gripped during opening, donning and doffing of the device.

Respirator valve

Various embodiments of a personal respiratory protection device () are disclosed. The personal respiratory protection device () includes an upper panel (), a central panel (), and a lower panel (), the central panel () being separated from each of the upper and lower panels () by a first and second fold (), seam, weld () or bond, respectively, such that the device is capable of being folded flat for storage along the first and second fold (), seam, weld () or bond and opened to form a cup-shaped air chamber over the nose and mouth of the wearer when in use. The lower panel () includes a stiffening sheet () that has a longitudinal crease line, where the stiffening sheet () is folded about the longitudinal crease line when the device is in use.

Flat-fold respirator

An injection device () for administering a fixed dose of a medication is provided. The injection device () comprises a housing () wherein a drive mechanism comprising a drive member () is at least partially enclosed and a dosing element () which is fixed relative to the drive member (). Here, a dose can be set by rotating the dosing element () relative to the housing () in a dose set direction () and the dose can be dispensed by pushing the dosing element () towards the housing (). Moreover, a method is provided for operating an injection device () for the administration of a fixed dose of a medication: A dose can be set by rotating a dosing element (), a dose can be dispensed by pushing the dosing element () towards the housing () and a dose can be cancelled by rotating the dosing element () in a direction () opposite to the dose set direction ().

Injection device
