  • Patent number: 7886908
    Abstract: An allergy testing tray assembly has an outer tray and an inner tray fitted in the outer tray. Each one piece tray is molded to have three longitudinal areas separated by two rows of spaced posts. A plurality of allergy testing needles are removably held between the adjacent posts. These syringes each have needle protective housing and a sheath that covers the needle prior to use color coded to reflect the gauge of the needle of the syringe. The plunger end of each of the syringes is capped so that each syringe is isolated from the environment. The trays are sealed by a cover sheet that may also have markings in the same color as the color of the housing and the sheath, so that a clinician can readily tell the gauge of the needle of the syringes stored in the trays, without having to remove the cover sheet.

  • Patent number: 5147408
    Abstract: The bone prosthesis of the present invention comprises a first body member or stem for placement into a bone cavity, such as an intramedullary canal. The body member is configured and dimensioned so as to provide a nonuniform interference press-fit. The apparatus further comprises a second body member or broach for placement into and removal from a bone cavity, the broach configured and dimensioned so as to prepare the bone cavity so as to provide a nonuniform interference press-fit with the stem. The apparatus further comprises a distal sleeve configured and dimensioned so as to be attached to the stem so as to centralize the stem in the bone cavity. The distal sleeve preferably is provided with an interior conical slope and an exterior conical slope on a portion thereof to aid in insertion into the canal. The stem further comprises at least one groove and preferably a plurality of grooves along its corners.
