Caskets, cap panel assemblies for a casket, and methods for manufacturing cap panel assemblies are described. A casket may include a casket shell, at least one casket cap pivotally mounted on the casket shell, and a cap panel assembly mounted in the at least one casket cap. The cap panel assembly may include a cap panel, a puffing member attached to each edge of the cap panel, and a cap panel insert. The cap panel insert is fastened to the cap panel using pins. The cap panel insert can include a frame, fabric, filler, and a backing board. The cap panel insert can include elastic or ribbon-shaped straps positioned on a front face of the cap panel insert. The elastic or ribbon-shaped straps can be positioned in a lattice or grid-like arrangement. The cap panel insert can include a mounting bracket or a screw and wire assembly for mounting the cap panel insert on a wall.

A system for applying a personal message to a heat resistant cameo that is intended to be included with a deceased person during a cremation process. The system includes a holder having a middle passage constructed and arranged to receive the cameo therein with the cameo having a predetermined inscription surface upon which a personal message can be inscribed; a transfer sheet with the holder retaining the transfer sheet and being constructed and arranged to stretch the transfer sheet over the inscription surface of the cameo; and a mask that is disposed over the transfer sheet. The mask has a middle hole therein that is aligned with the middle passage of the holder.

Message display apparatus disclosed in application includes: communication unit for receiving image information of gravestone transmitted from mobile terminal along with position information of mobile terminal; deceased person specification unit for specifying deceased person's identification information for identifying deceased, wherein deceased person's identification information is associated with image information of gravestone along with pre-stored position information of gravestone; first message output unit for outputting and displaying first message on mobile terminal; browsing control unit for controlling first message so as to be unbrowsable in mobile terminal for predetermined period after browsable period has elapsed, and controlling first message so as to be browsable if communication unit receives image information of gravestone along with position information of mobile terminal after predetermined period has elapsed; and second message output unit for outputting and displaying second message on mobile terminal after predetermined period has elapsed.

A method of securing a patient onto an operating table when the patient is in a position such as the trendelenburg position and apparatus therefor including a kit. A viscoelastic pad is used to support and hold a patient on a medical procedure table during a medical procedure performed while the table, and thus the patient lying thereon, is in an inclined position, such as the Trendelenburg position. The viscoelastic pad has characteristics which promote a minimization of pressure forces on the patient's body, as well as promote a secure cushioning and holding of the patient in a desired position on the table, in order to minimize injury to the patient.

A method of securing a patient onto an operating table when the patient is in a position such as the trendelenburg position or in a non-inclined position and apparatus therefor including a kit, which kit comprises a viscoelastic pad structured to be used to support and hold a patient on a medical procedure table during a medical procedure performed while the table, and thus the patient lying thereon, is in an inclined position, such as the Trendelenburg position or in a non-inclined position. The viscoelastic pad has characteristics which promote a minimization of pressure forces on the patient's body, as well as promote a secure cushioning and holding of the patient in a desired position on the table; said pad structure being in combination with a cleaning device configured to clean an operating instrument, in order to minimize injury to the patient.

The invention relates to a patella gripper for a patella, comprising a retaining element (3; 53) and a contact finger apparatus (4; 54), wherein the contact finger apparatus (4; 54) is arranged on the lower face of the retaining element (3; 53), wherein the contact finger apparatus (4; 54) comprises at least two contact finger units (4.1, 4.2; 54.1), which are arranged on opposite sides of the retaining element (3; 53), and wherein the contact finger apparatus (4; 54) is designed in such a way that the patella can be moved in the cranial-caudal direction and in the medial-lateral direction by means of the contact finger units (4.1, 4.2; 54.1). The invention further relates to a device (20; 60) having such a patella gripper (1; 51).
