A non-pneumatic tourniquet including a tourniquet ring configured to resiliently constrict around a body part of a subject. The tourniquet ring defines a plurality of openings. A handle moves the tourniquet ring onto the body part and includes a first strap having a first end secured to the tourniquet ring at one of the openings and a second end secured to the tourniquet ring at one of the openings. A second strap has a first end secured to the tourniquet ring at one of the openings and a second end secured to the tourniquet ring at one of the openings.

Stapling assemblies for use with a surgical stapler and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. Three dimensional adjuncts for use with a surgical stapling assembly and methods for manufacturing the same are also provided.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus comprising a wire having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first portion of the wire including the first end comprises a malleable region that is configured to remain deformed after bending, and a second portion of the wire including the second end comprises a superelastic region that is configured to return to a straight configuration after bending.

Devices and methods for securing a cover of a retrieval device while the retrieval device is resheathed to a more proximal position within a delivery sheath are disclosed herein. A retrieval device may include, for example, a securing element configured to grip the cover when the retrieval device is pulled proximally, to thereby secure the cover. A method of positioning the retrieval device may include, for example: (a) advancing the retrieval device distally through a delivery sheath to a partially deployed state while the securing element is in a first state, and (b) retracting the clot retrieval proximally from the partially deployed state while the securing element is in a second state that grips the cover to secure the cover.

A system and method for improving upon an ability of a surgeon to repair traumatic bone injury using new materials, components, and structures. A structure may be used as an implant or a component of an external fixator for a fractured long bone with that structure having anisotropic and viscoelastic properties, such as through additive manufacturing techniques.

Three-arm clamp includes: clamping assembly and releasing member connected to each other, clamping assembly includes fixed arm, and two movable arms respectively rotatably connected to fixed arm by hinge pin; the proximal end of each movable arm is provided with first sliding slot, and sliding pin is slidably arranged in first sliding slot; the proximal end of fixed arm is provided with inner cavity, and releasing member is inserted into inner cavity and connected to sliding pin; the proximal end of each movable arm is provided with elastic sheet; movable arms and fixed arm are closed by clamping, and elastic sheets are folded in inner cavity, in radial direction of fixed arm, from connecting end to free end and abut against releasing member; and releasing member is separated from movable arms, and the free end of each elastic sheet elastically abuts against inner wall of inner cavity.

Methods, devices, and systems are described for an acne extractor for treating superficial acne. The acne extractor includes a curved elongated handle having a distal end. A head is coupled to the distal end of the curved elongated handle. The head extends from curved elongated handle at an angle and has a loop with an inner diameter. The inner diameter is configured to encircle a skin irritation. The loop is configured to apply an inward pressure to the skin irritation in response to pressing the loop against skin surrounding the skin irritation using the curved elongated handle.

A surgical clamp may have two elongated members with a bight portion that joins the two elongated members at a proximal end of the clamp and that may bias the two elongated members in an open position at a distal end. The bight portion may have one or more engagement features, such as a slotted aperture or other engagement or coupling feature. A clasp mechanism at the distal end of the clamp may have a male or first component disposed on or adjacent one of the two elongated members and a female or second component disposed on or adjacent the other of the two elongated members at the distal end of the clamp.

An implant for the stabilization of bones or vertebrae is provided, the implant being a solid body including a longitudinal axis that defines a longitudinal direction and including a flexible section that has a surface and has a length in the longitudinal direction, the flexible section including at least one cavity located near the surface and having a width in the longitudinal direction that is smaller than the length of the flexible section, the at least one cavity being connected to the surface through at least one slit, and a width of the slit in the longitudinal direction being smaller than the width of the cavity.

A femoral head guide clamp can include jaws and two opposing arms that extend from the jaws. The jaws can include an aperture shaped such that the jaws have a closed position in which the aperture fits around a femoral neck of a patient but is too small to accept a femoral head of a patient, and an open position in which the aperture is expanded such that it is large enough to allow the femoral head to pass through. The arms can include a proximal section in which the arms are substantially parallel in a side-by-side arrangement, and a distal section in which the arms extend away from each other such that moving the two distal sections towards each other moves the jaws towards the open position.
