Abstract: Apparatus and methods for conditioning and pre-tensioning soft tissue grafts during joint repair surgery. The inventive apparatus (10) is configured so as to enable a surgeon to independently apply a desired tensile load onto individual strands of a multiple-stranded soft tissue graft. The inventive methods ensure that each strand of a multiple-strand soft tissue graft is adequately tensioned so as to both "condition" the graft to prevent subsequent stretching, relaxation or elongation following surgery, and pre-tension each strand of the graft to a desired amount so that each contributes to the strength and stability of the joint. The inventive tensioning device is equipped with structure (72) for attaching the device to a patient's limb during the procedure. It has multiple adjustable tension applicators (22) that can be independently manipulated so as to independently apply a desired tensile load onto one or more strands of the soft tissue graft.

Title: Methode et appareil permettant d'eliminer des substances presentes dans des vaisseaux du coeur et d'autres parties du corps afin de reduire au maximum ou d'eviter le dysfonctionnement renal ou les mefaits sur les reins
Inventor: MOVAHED M REZA
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2002-01-23
Abstract: Pour isoler et éliminer une substance se trouvant dans le système vasculaire, on utilise un cathéter afin d'obstruer un vaisseau du système vasculaire. La substance est ainsi isolée dans le système vasculaire et peut être éliminée. De cette manière, la substance est éliminée avant de pénétrer dans d'autres parties du système circulatoire. Cette méthode peut être appliquée pour éliminer l'agent de contraste du sinus coronaire peu de temps après l'injection de l'agent de contraste dans les artères coronaires. La méthode minimise substantiellement ou évite le dysfonctionnement des reins provoqué par les procédures angiographiques pour lesquelles il est indispensable d'injecter un agent de contraste. De telles procédures angiographiques sont souvent effectuées pendant des procédures d'intervention. Cette méthode empêche sensiblement l'agent de contraste de circuler et d'atteindre les reins où il pourrait provoquer un dysfonctionnement des reins ou une insuffisance rénale. La présente invention concerne également l'appareil qui permet de mettre en oeuvre ladite méthode.

Abstract: This invention discloses a storage apparatus for sportboards of variable width, which is mountable onto a supporting surface. The apparatus comprises two gripping members, with a distance between them that is greater than the minimum width of the sportboard that is to be held therein, and lesser than the maximum width of the sportboard. A narrow part of the board is placed between the two gripping members, and the board is lowered until a wider part rests on the gripping members. The edges of the gripping members grip the board and hold it in the apparatus. In one embodiment, the distance between the gripping members is adjustable, so that boards of different sizes may be held in the apparatus. In an alternative embodiment designed to hold two sportboards such as a pair of skis, the apparatus comprises a center member with gripping edges, which functions to divide in two the space between the gripping members so that a pair of skis can be held in the apparatus. All sportboards with varying widths may be held in different embodiments of this invention, however the invention is particularly useful for the storage of snowboards and skis.
