Abstract: A system and method for marking corneal tissue in a transplant procedure is disclosed. Sidecut incisions are made in each of the donor cornea and the recipient cornea. Crosscut incisions are made across the sidecut incision in each cornea. Corneal tissue which is at least partially bounded by the sidecut incision is resected from the recipient cornea. Part of the crosscut incision made in the recipient cornea extends beyond the resected corneal tissue. Donor tissue which is at least partially bounded by the sidecut incision is resected from the donor cornea. Part of the crosscut incision made in the donor cornea is in the resected donor tissue. The donor tissue is then grafted into the recipient cornea.

Title: Reduced pressure delivery system having a manually-activated pump for providing treatment to low-severity wounds
Inventor: HARDMAN IAN JAMES
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2007-10-15
Abstract: A manually-activated reduced pressure treatment system includes a substantially rigid housing, and an end cap slidingly received by the housing. An inner chamber is disposed between the end cap and housing, and a volume of the inner chamber is variable in amount depending on the position of the end cap within the housing. The end cap is slidingly movable between an uncompressed position at which the volume of the inner chamber is at a maximum value and a compressed position at which the volume of the inner chamber is at a minimum value. A position indicating member is associated with the end cap and housing to indicate the position of the end cap relative to the housing at predetermined positions between the uncompressed position and the compressed position.
Patent CA-2664198-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ACHTELSTETTER KARL
IPC: A61H37/00
Filed: 2009-04-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a circular knit fabric for use in compression therapy of lymphedemas, having a surface with a patterned structure with protuberances (1) which, when in contact with the body part to be treated with compression therapy, exert pressure on the surface of the body part and which, when the body part moves, produce a massaging effect. To create such a circular knit fabric that is comfortable to the wearer and that, when worn, exerts a sufficiently high compressive pressure on the body part to be treated and, at the same time, improves lymph drainage, the invention proposes that the structured surface have a regular pattern in the form of chambers (2) that are bounded by protuberances (1), with the chambers (2a, 2b, 2c) that are adjacent to each other being connected to each other by means of connecting channels (3) in the longitudinal direction (L) of the circular knit fabric.

Patent CA-2674230-A1 (CA)
Title: Suspended load ergonomic backpack
Inventor: RUINA ANDY
IPC: A45F3/04
Filed: 2007-12-14
Abstract: A suspended-load backpack designed to permit the load to move relative to the wearer during walking and running so that the large movements between the load and the wearer of the backpack reduce the fluctuations of vertical motion of the load with respect to ground. Because the hip (and thus the pack body) goes up a down a good deal during walking, a large relative movement between the wearer and the load reduces the absolute excursion of the load. This movement may be, in turn, transferred to a motor through, for example, a rack and pinion gear, to convert the mechanical movement to electrical or mechanical energy. Such movement of the suspended-load relative to the wearer also reduces the forces on the wearer's body while walking or running, thus reducing the likelihood of orthopedic injury. The suspended-load backpack includes a suspension system having a first portion connected to shoulder straps directly or through an interface and a second portion connected to the pack body and a compliant mechanism that permits the second portion of the suspension system and the pack body to move up and down relative to the first portion of the suspension system in accordance with a gait of the wearer of the backpack.
