A device for releasing soft tissue includes a distractor and blade assembly. The distractor may include a guide channel positioned along an edge of the distractor and the blade assembly fits into the guide channel and is configured to slide within the channel of the distractor.

Tissue release instrument and methods of use

A humeral prosthesis includes a first body having a first body articulating surface defining a generally circular outer periphery, and a first centerline axis. The first body having a support surface opposite to the first body articulating surface, the first body is hollow and configured to receive a head of the humerus, and a stem extending away from the support surface, the stem defining a second centerline axis which is coincident with the first centerline axis. The prosthesis further includes a second body in the form of a flange which extends laterally from a portion of the circular outer periphery, the first body articulating surface and a surface of the second body defining a boundary portion between them which is generally smooth and continuous, wherein the second body is located superiorly and the surface of the second body which bounds the first body articulating surface is a second articulating surface.

Bone preparation tool kit and associated method

A prosthesis () for use in performing joint arthroplasty is provided. The prosthesis () is to be fitted to a long bone (). The prosthesis includes a first body () having a first body articulating surface () defining a generally circular outer periphery () of the first body articulating surface (). The first body () has a support surface () opposed to the articulating surface (). The support surface () is adapted to receive the head of the long bone (). The prosthesis () also includes a second body () operably associated with the first body (). The second body () has a second body articulating surface () extending from a portion of the circular outer periphery () of the first body articulating surface (). A tool kit for preparing a humerus to receive a prosthesis is also disclosed.

A stroller illumination system includes a stroller frame and a child receiving member that is mounted on the stroller frame. The stroller frame includes a plurality of legs and a handle grip. Each of the legs has at least one of a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled thereto. A light emitting assembly is mounted on the frame. The light emitting assembly emits light when turned on to increase a visibility of the stroller frame.

Extended articulation orthopaedic implant

Extended articulation orthopaedic implant and associated method

A kit and associated method is for implanting a prosthetic device in a resected bone such as a humerus. The kit includes a trial assembly including a trial body portion having a trial bore defined therein, and a trial head portion having (i) a trail head member which includes a trial offset indicia, and (ii) an eccentrically located trial stem extending from the trial head member, the trial head stem being configured to be received within the trial bore. The kit also includes a final prosthesis assembly including a final body portion having a final bore defined therein, and a final head portion having (i) a final head member which includes a final offset indicia, and (ii) an eccentrically located final head stem extending from the final head portion, the final head stem being configured to be received within the final bore.

A hand saw principally for use on sheet rock or gypsum wall board having a bi-partite handle and a thumb stop. The saw blade is provided with in-line teeth which cut on the forward and backward motion of the saw and which are provided with large cleanouts. The cutting teeth are also in line and the saw blade itself is thicker on the cutting surfaces than on the top. The arrangement permits a higher grade of premium steel to be used and the teeth can be readily sharpened. The saw may also have a blade that is sharpened on the top to a cutting edge resulting in an all purpose cutting instrument.
