Abstract: A marking device for marking elongate members, including wires and cables is disclosed, together with a stabilising assembly (10) for stabilising elongate members during a marking thereof. The assembly comprises a stabiliser (10a) comprising a first jaw (11) having at least a first planar portion and a second jaw (12) having at least a second planar portion, the first planar portion being positioned adjacent the second planar portion and arranged in a face-to-face relation therewith. The first and second planar portions are orientated in a substantially parallel orientation to define a linear channel therebetween, along which a member is arranged to pass for marking.

Abstract: A massage mechanism includes a housing containing substantially uni-directional roller components. The rollers are able to rotate in one direction, but either not easily or not at all in the opposite direction. Each roller of a total of two rollers is able to rotate in a direction that is opposite of the other roller. The effect of the described configuration is that as the roller massage device moves across a skin surface of a patient, a leading edge roller is able to roll, while a trailing edge roller is held stationary, or substantially stationary. The stationary roller on the trailing edge of the roller massage device pushes against the skin, generating a skin fold. The skin fold can be further generated and magnified by the provision of a vacuum pressure within a chamber of the roller massage device, suctioning the skin up into the device, working in conjunction with the rollers. In addition, an electromagnetic force can be applied to the skin fold.
