Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems include a processor(s) obtaining and decoding a signal of decodable indicia. The decoded data identifies an object comprising a plurality of items. The processor(s) obtains from a memory, a visual representation the object and descriptive text characterizing the object, including quantitative inventory data. The processor(s) displays the visual representation as a three-dimensional image and the descriptive text, via a device (e.g., an augmented reality device and a virtual reality device). The processor(s) obtains, via a user interface, a designation of at least one item in the visual representation of the object. The processor(s) execute an action that changes an element of the descriptive text. The processor(s) updates concurrently with the executing, the descriptive text in the visual representation to reflect the changed quantitative or qualitative element. The processor(s) deploys an unmanned aerial device (UAV) to locate the at least one item.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a system, at least one processor obtains and decides a signal of decodable indicia to obtain information identifying an object made up of items. The processor obtains data comprising descriptive text characterizing the portion of the object, including quantitative inventory data related to the portion of the object. The processor displays the visual representation as a three dimensional image and the descriptive text, via an AR/VR device, generating a virtual projection in three dimensional space in a range of view of a user utilizing the device. The processor obtains a designation of a region in the visual representation and executes an action that changes a quantitative or a qualitative element of the descriptive text for an item represented by the region. The processor updates the descriptive text in the visual representation, to reflect the change.

Abstract: Described herein are surgical retractors that include a frame and a blade assembly. The blade assembly includes an arm extending from the frame, a blade attached to the arm and moveable relative to the frame, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is moveable from a first position to a second position to prevent movement of the blade in at least two, non-collinear directions. Also described are methods of performing a surgical procedure using the surgical retractors.

Abstract: This invention includes surgical retractors that comprise an expandable frame that includes at least two base components, a connector, and at least two retractor blades attached to the expandable frame. Also included are surgical retractors that comprise a housing component that includes a cylindrical portion and a contiguous blade portion, assemblies comprising a surgical retractor assembled to at least one obtruator, illuminated surgical cannulas, and methods of using the same during a surgical procedure.

Abstract: A retractor blade assembly includes a fixed blade having a longitudinal axis and an adjustable blade operatively coupled to the fixed blade and adjustable relative to the fixed blade along the longitudinal axis of the fixed blade. The adjustable blade may include a flexible tab that is movable between a first position, in which the tab is generally co-planar to the adjustable blade, and a second position, in which the tab is oriented generally transverse to the adjustable blade.
