Abstract: A treestand apparatus has a frame having a first end configured to engage a tree and a second end configured to support a user's weight, a double locking cinch including a first toothed belt attached to the frame at first and second points, with a portion of the first toothed belt between the first and second points being configured to extend around the tree and a second toothed belt attached to the frame at first and second points, with a portion of the second toothed belt between the first and second points being configured to extend around the tree opposite the first toothed belt. At least one of the points of the frame includes a mechanism configured to selectively adjust the length of a portion of the double locking cinch, with mechanisms located ideally proximal to the tree.

At least one of the points of the frame includes a ratchet mechanism configured to selectively adjust the length of the portion of the toothed belt, with ratchet mechanism located ideally proximal to the tree.

Abstract: A multiple lumen epidural introducer includes at least two separate lumens each having a proximal port and a distal port; and a coupling interface for coupling the two lumens such that the two separate lumens can be inserted through a single point of entry.

Abstract: Devices for and methods of treating afflictions occurring in a body cavity, such as the epidural space. The methods and devices provide for fluoroscopic assisted placement of a fiber optic catheter/scope with a balloon tip. These devices and methods would perform decompression surgery, neuroplasty, and mechanical lysis of adhesions (and other afflictions), as well as allowing small operating and therapeutic instruments under direct visualization.
