Bone and joint stabilization devices or systems are described that include multiple-layer bodies. The approach offers dramatically improved fatigue life as compared to one-piece spring members that are otherwise similar or comparable. Coordinated improved-strength anchor embodiments, anchor loading tools and methods of use are also described.

Strength and fatigue life improvements for active bone and joint stabilization devices

In an actuator system having a toothed actuator and a tensioner to apply a tension force to the toothed actuator, a hold mechanism holds the tooth actuator stationary, through disengage-able contact with at least one tooth thereof, with respect to a direction of the tension force while allowing the tooth actuator to move freely in a direction opposite the direction of the tension force. An advancement pawl having at least two degrees of freedom engages with one or more teeth on the tooth actuator to displace the tooth actuator a distance in the direction opposite of the direction of the tension force.

Advance and hold pawl actuator

In one example, a wipe dispensing system includes a housing that defines an internal wipe storage area, a lid rotatably connected to the housing, a fluid reservoir disposed within the housing, and a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. A fluid discharge manifold is in fluid communication with the pump and is arranged proximate to a portion of a wipe dispensing path. The lid is operably disposed with respect to the pump such that depression of the lid causes discharge of fluid from the pump through the fluid discharge manifold, and also causes partial dispensation of a wipe from the housing.

The container may hold a material, such as, plastic wrap. The first container portion may include a first leg with an engagement member. The engagement member may engage the second leg during the cutting process. In addition, the engagement member may disengage from the second leg during or after the cutting process. When the user wishes to cut the material, the user pushes down on the first container portion. The material is held between the engagement member and the second leg at a first location. The third leg may assist in holding the material at a second location. The holding of the material in tension may facilitate the cutting of the material. As the user continues to push down on the first container portion, the engagement member disengages from the second leg. The user can remove the portion of material without opening the first container portion.
