A bone plate for the compression of a fracture site or osteotomy of a bone includes a bone plate assembly having a plate body shaped and configured for an anatomical location on a patient. The plate body has an upper surface, a lower, bone contacting surface, medial and lateral side surfaces connecting the upper and lower surfaces and at least one screw hole extending through the plate body. The bone plate further includes an access hole extending between the upper and lower surfaces and defining an inner surface shaped to indicate the anatomical location on the patient. This configuration allows the surgeon to easily determine which bone plate should be used for the operation, thereby avoiding costly mistakes during surgery. The bone plate may further include an adjustable screw hole for repositioning the bone plate relative to the fracture site.

A bone plate for the compression of a fracture site or osteotomy of a bone includes a bone plate body having a plurality of screw holes and bone screws accommodated in the screw holes. At least one of the screw holes is teardrop shaped having a wide portion and a narrow portion. The bone screw selected for use in the screw hole can be either a locking screw or a non-locking screw, as the screw hole can accept both types.

A system having a user configurable and sizeable planar sensor pad having electrical circuits thereon, adjacent to a trough or groove formed in the sensor pad. These circuits are energized upon the application of a conductive fluid into the trough and once activated initiates a wireless communication device to transmit an alarm to a mobile device of the user, such as a smart phone, alerting the user of the detected fluid leak. The device may be self contained, operating on its own DC power source and may not require the use of a computer, a WI-Fi signal, or the internet.

Flexible sheets are clamped between anchoring bars and supported in a flat condition on a rectangular frame formed by a pair of spring bands interconnecting the anchoring bars with a rest bar. The sheets are rolled up into tubular form assisted by the coiling of the spring bands. The free ends of the sheets overlying the rest bar are clamped to the rest bar and retainer spring bands pivoted to the rest bar are coiled about the rolled up sheets to hold the same in a storage condition.
