SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALTERING ROTATIONAL ALIGNMENT OF BONE SECTIONS
The disclosure describes systems and methods for altering bone sections in a patient. In one embodiment, a system may include an intramedullary implant including: a housing configured to be secured to a first section of bone, where the housing may include one or more shaft engaging grooves axially extending along an inner surface thereof; a distraction shaft configured to be secured to a second section of bone, where the distraction shaft may include one or more grooves axially extending along an inner surface thereof. The system may further include an actuator disposed within the housing and operably coupled to the distraction shaft, and in response to rotation of the actuator, the one or more grooves of the distraction shaft may engage with the one or more shaft engaging grooves of the housing, causing axial displacement of the distraction shaft relative to the housing.

SURGICAL TRAY EFFICIENCY SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS
A surgical tray efficiency system comprising a vertical rack assembly for holding and displaying a plurality of surgical instrument trays, a sterile barrier covering the vertical rack assembly and including tray location identifiers, and a standardization software platform including a customizable interactive planogram is described. The customizable interactive planogram software helps operating room staff arrange the instrument trays on the vertical rack assembly according to a predetermined customizable location ID, and create/load/access information related to the surgical procedure/trays/instruments before, during, and after the surgery.

STACKING DEVICE FOR MESH STERILIZING TRAYS
A stackable sieve tray for receiving medical products, preferably for sterilization, has a sieve tray bottom and upward-extending sieve tray sidewalls arranged at the sieve tray bottom. The sieve tray bottom, on its underside, has an indentation in edge regions that holds at least two sieve trays in position with respect to each other in a length and width direction of the sieve trays when the sieve trays are stacked, the indentation of a first sieve tray engaging the sieve tray sidewalls of a second sieve tray.
TRACEABILITY AND MONITORING OF A STERILISATION CASE AND THE CONTENT OF SAME
The present invention concerns, in this example, a sterilization case (200) for surgical instruments (210) including an electronic identity device (100) for the monitoring and traceability of the case and the content of same, the electronic device (100) including:—a measurement module (10) for taking at least one measurement relative to at least one parameter representative of an environmental condition to which the sterilization case (200) is exposed and for generating an item of digital measurement data (D_M) depending on the measurement,—a storage module (20) for storing the generated item of measurement data (D_M),—a communication module (30) suitable for cooperating with the storage module (20) in order to transmit the item of measurement data (D_M) to an external reader (300, 300′) when the external reader (300, 300′) interacts with the communication module (30).

Adaptable Medical Tray
Adaptable medical trays are disclosed herein. An adaptable medical tray includes a first component medical tray having a first plurality of walls, a first bottom, and a first removable top, the first plurality of walls and the first bottom arranged to form a first cavity in the first component medical tray; and a second component medical tray removably coupled to the first component medical tray, the second component medical tray including a second plurality of walls, a second bottom, and a second removable top, the second plurality of walls and the second bottom arranged to form a second cavity in the second component medical tray. The first component medical tray and the second component medical tray are constructed of a sterilizable material and the first component medical tray is decouplable from the second component medical tray after a sterilization process without removing the first removable top from the first cavity and without removing the second removable top from the second cavity.
