CORK STAMPING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE
Cork stamping systems for applying a label, a design, text, or other information to the outside surface of a cork. The systems feature a plier-style device with a pair of jaws at its terminating end. At least a portion of the jaws features a stamp, and the jaws are constructed to accept at least a portion of a cork, wherein when the cork is clamped between the jaws, the stamp stamps on or etches in a design on the cork.
MICROTOPOGRAPHIC PATTERN TRANSFER TOOL
A hand-operated tool for embossing a membrane or other soft pliable implant with microgrooves or microgeometries is disclosed. The tool includes an embossing surface such as a pressure plate or roller that includes a specific microgroove or microtopographical pattern. This allows a user such as a clinician to create an embossed surface on a membrane or other implantable device at the time of surgery for the purposes of directing cellular orientation and migration, increasing cell migration velocity and enhancing re-epithelialization rates in various medical and dental applications.
