Abstract: A surgical retractor system comprising the operative combination of a retractor blade for retracting tissue and an anchoring pin interconnectable therewith. The anchoring pin is preferably formed as an elongate structure having an anchoring mechanism formed at the distal-most end thereof that is designed to become securely anchored within bone or soft tissue. The anchoring pin is positioned through a grommet formed upon the retractor blade such that the anchoring pin remains firmly in position while the retractor blade retracts surrounding tissue. To facilitate handling of the system, a handle mechanism is detachably fastenable to the retractor blade. Multiple retractor devices can be utilized to facilitate tissue distraction, and further may be selectively positioned to retract tissue in a cranial-caudal orientation for use in anterior cervical spine surgery.

Abstract: A system 100 and method 102 for evaluating and correcting websites includes an assessment module 114 to parse and analyze the website as a function of a ruleset of design guidelines. A list of automatic correction items, semi-automated assisted correction items, and manual correction items is reported by a reporting module 116. The listed items are automatically, semi-automatically, or manually corrected by or through a correcting module 118. The system 100 and method 200 provide an internet based software tool to enable website providers to diagnose, evaluate, report, and retrofit code violations existing in websites.
