The present invention relates to an improved fishing device which provides a shock absorbing device between a fishing line and a fishing hook. An elongate member formed from certain knitted materials can 'remember' a twist. This characteristic is used to have a twisted, elongate member 'untwist' about its longitudinal axis as it is stretched. Then the elongate member will retwist tightly as the strain is reduced between opposite ends of the twisted member. The motion is both parallel to and rotational about the longitudinal axis of the elongate member. The resilient member is also made with a soft cloth-like material so that a line will not normally be inadvertently intertwined with the device.

Shock absorbing fishing device

Polyethylene glycol or poly(oxyethylene)poly(oxypropylene) glycol block copolymers or mixtures thereof in a suitable buffer such as citrated saline, are added to blood plasma to preserve and protect blood coagulation factors and other proteins.

Method of preserving blood plasma I

A device for applying intermittent compression to a body member, such as a leg, of a patient is disclosed. This device has a highly elastic stocking of the antiembolism type with an inelastic external panel secured to a portion of the stocking's circumference to provide a bladder cavity and restrict circumferential stretching of only a portion of the stocking. The inelastic panel has an openable structure, and internal bladder retaining pockets. An inflatable bladder includes an inner shaping panel causing the bladder to more readily conform to the shin area of the leg.

Pulsatile stocking and bladder therefor

Polyethylene glycol or poly(oxyethylene)poly(oxypropylene) glycol block copolymers or both and heparin in a suitable buffer, such as citrated saline, are added to blood plasma to preserve and protect blood coagulation factors and other proteins.
