A plurality of horizontal shelves are mounted in the container housing parallel to each other and a plurality of vertical support members engage the shelves to support said shelves and serve as spacers for said shelves and to align the allograft tissue packages in a vertical and horizontal rows.

Abstract: An apparatus assembly for forming a compound dessert in a predetermined dome shape including a first outer mold having a dome shaped bowl with a closed semi-spherical end and an open end, and a ring shaped support base secured to said closed end of bowl body. A cover including a second dome shaped bowl of a smaller diameter is mounted in the chamber formed in the first mold bowl and the cover is mounted to an extended portion of the outer mold.

Abstract: An apparatus assembly for forming a compound dessert in a predetermined dome shape including a first outer mold having a dome shaped bowl with a closed semi-spherical end and an open end, and a ring shaped planar support base secured to said closed end of bowl body. A second dome shaped bowl of a smaller diameter is mounted in the chamber formed in the first mold bowl. A lip is formed on the open end of both bowls extending outward from the open end of each bowl which holds a retainer strap assembly holding the second inner mold bowl in place within the first outer mold bowl.

Abstract: A double sterile container assembly for storing sterile allograft tissue implant forms constructed with an outer container defining an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the cavity and a stepped recess formed in the flange surrounding said cavity. An inner container sized to fit in the open faced cavity also defines an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the cavity with the inner container flange being of a dimension to fit into the stepped recess of the outer container. An insert retainer sized to fit into the inner container cavity defines a shaped structure therein to hold a tissue implant form. A permeable cover is sealed to the flange of the inner container covering the inner container cavity; and an outer cover is sealed to the flange of the outer container covering outer container cavity to form a double sterile implant container assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus assembly for forming a compound dessert in a predetermined dome shape including a first outer mold having a dome shaped bowl with a closed semi-spherical end and an open end, and a ring shaped support base secured to the closed end of bowl body. A cover including a second dome shaped bowl of a smaller diameter and a surrounding circular skirt is mounted to an extended portion of the outer mold with the second bowl extending to a chamber of the first outer mold.

Abstract: A hammock is described which has a bed surface of quilted strips contiguously interwoven into a surface that is soft and relatively smooth. Each strip comprises an interior fill layer of polyester fiber stitched in place between a top layer and bottom layer of weather resistant fabric.

Abstract: A sterile composite bone graft for use in implants comprising an I beam cortical bone load bearing member upon which is mounted a trapezoidal shaped cancellous member. The allograft cancellous bone member defines tapered side walls, a flat proximal end wall and a flat distal end wall and a channel into the body leading from the front wall to the end wall. The I beam cortical member has a front section with a flat rear surface. A rectangular support bar extends from the flat rear surface to the flat rear wall of the rear section forming a connecting bar which fits into the channel cut into the cancellous member body. The I beam cortical member support bar and the channel of the cancellous member mate together to hold both component members in stable relationship. Pins may be mounted in both members on opposite sides of the members interface.

Abstract: A wire storage rack comprising an adjustable plastic coated wire rack which can be mounted on any planar base. The wire rack has side posts provided with a threaded end and an upper offset end. A “U” shaped cross piece connects the side posts. The cross piece has transverse legs which are secured to a respective side post and extend outward therefrom with the portion of the leg adjacent to the “U” shaped portion forming a curved indentation which serves as a lid seat. The “U” shaped portion is curved backward toward the side posts past the lid seat to securely hold a lid placed therein in place.

Abstract: The invention is directed toward a cancellous bone block assembly with at least one tendon replacement member being extended between two shaped cancellous bone blocks. Each substantially cylindrically shaped cancellous bone block has a central through going bore, a flat exterior longitudinal surface and a channel longitudinally cut in the exterior of the bone block body opposite the flat longitudinal surface. The tendon replacement member is inserted through the central through going bore around the end of the block and looped back along the flat longitudinal side where it is tied to the back of the tendon loop. A channel cut in the exterior surface is adapted to receive an interference screw to keep the block anchored in a bone tunnel previously cut in the respective bone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus described to stabilize and secure individual component items in an array during gas flushing and packaging, without obstructing or preventing the free flow of the gas-flush throughout the component. In accordance with the present invention, when the array has been composed, it is over-wrapped with a loop of thin, inexpensive, gas-permeable film applied under pressure or shrunk around the array, leaving two opposite faces of the array free of the over-wrapping loop.
