Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure may be a method for preparing a soft tissue graft, comprising: passing a suture material through the soft tissue graft adjacent to a graft support filament at a first longitudinal location along the filament and graft, such that the suture material passes through the graft on a first side of the filament; passing the suture material over the filament and back through the graft adjacent to the filament at a second longitudinal location spaced longitudinally along the filament and graft from the first longitudinal location, such that the suture material passes through the graft on the first side of the filament; and tensioning the suture material to secure the filament to the graft along a length of the suture material between the first longitudinal location and the second longitudinal location.

Abstract: A method for securing a sleeve in a bore hole in bone. The method includes disposing at least a portion of a length of filament into the bore hole, and implanting the sleeve into the bore hole such that a first pathway extending through first and second ends of the sleeve opens in a direction toward the opening of the bore hole and in a direction toward the base of the bore hole. The method also includes pulling at least a portion of the length of filament through the first pathway of the sleeve, thereby forming a first loop configuration extending from the first end and at least one free end of the length of filament extending from the second end. Also included is passing the at least one free end through the first loop configuration to create a one-way cinch.

Abstract: A horse stall gate manufactured from a lightweight polymer. The gate includes a plurality of ventilation slots designed to provide optimum airflow to the horse stall while only nominally reducing the strength of the gate, the slots being sized smaller than the horse's hooves. The gate is formed by rotational molding resulting in a hollow construction in the areas between ventilation slots and greatly reducing the weight. Rotational molding also produces a smooth exterior surface with rounded edges and corners to eliminate the chance of injury from sharps. The gate is reversible so that it may be hinged to either side of a stall doorway and includes a central indent in the upper edge for the horse to lean out of. Finally, the raw material can be provided in any color prior to rotational molding completely eliminating the expense and hazard of paint.

Abstract: An animal exerciser having a water pool in which there is a submerged treadmill. The treadmill includes an endless belt with a top run on which the animal rests. A rigid support plate supports the top run. The support plate is perforated, and air is blown through its perforations to lubricate and separate in the region between the support plate and the top run. The discharged air tends to attach itself to particulate matter in the pool, which is readily removed for screening from the pool.
