An improved briquette () for use in gas grills wherein the briquette provides a smooth non-absorbent outer surface () that allows grease and food drippings to flow over the briquette without becoming trapped in the surface of the briquette, thereby reducing the likelihood of rust forming inside the grill and prolonging the life of the grill.

Non-absorbent briquette for gas grills

An example method is provided for maintaining stability to an injury defined by a separation of two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula), the separation being an injured distance greater than a pre-injury distance between the two bones in a first human patient. The method may include delivering a first apparatus for approximation of the two bones in the first human patient comprising the injury, the first apparatus including a flexible segment disposed between a first anchor and a second anchor. The method may further include maintaining, by the first apparatus, a restored distance between the two bones in the first human patient after a repetitive dynamic loading, the restored distance approximately equal to the pre-injury distance.
