Abstract: A method of and structure for separating tissue. The method comprises the step of directing a fluid medium under pressure from a tissue separator including a floating tip at the tissue while floating the tip of the separator on the fluid medium. The tissue may be living tissue and in accordance with the method of the invention may be separated along natural cleavage planes. The fluid medium may be a gas or liquid and may be regulated in pressure and formed in pulses. It may be passed around and/or through the floating tip. The tissue to be separated may also be nudged by the floating tip. The fluid medium may be treated water from a municipal water supply or separate container and may be passed over a high surface to fluid interacting soap-like, replaceable cartridge made of at least one of an abrading, cleansing, polishing, and geriocidal material within the tissue separator structure prior to being directed at the tissue to be separated.

Abstract: Surgical separator structure comprising an elongated shaft having a handle at one end and a stem with controlled flexilibity at the other end and a tissue separating tip secured to the other end of the flexible stem. The shaft may have a separate handle part and stem part secured together centrally of the shaft. The tip is preferably spherical and may be constructed to snap on the end of the stem and may also be retained by adhesive or the like. Alternatively, the other end of the stem may be molded into the tip to secure the tip to the stem. In the method of manufacture of the surgical separator, the handle and stem may be separately produced and secured together by a threaded connection while the tip may be snapped over the end of the stem and/or secured thereto with adhesive. Alternatively, the stem may be molded of "ABS" within a recess in the "TEFLON" tip to lock the tip on the stem. The handle is preferably color coded to provide a visual indication of the flexibility of the shaft.

Abstract: A system for transporting bulk material, including a container having a top, bottom, left and right sides, a front end and a back end, comprising a pair of doors which are hinged on one edge at the back end of the sides of the container and meet at the other edge in a closed condition, a first vertical retainer positioned on the bottom and extending toward the top of the container, one end of which is wedged against the right side of the container in spaced relation to the back end thereof, the other end of which is positioned against the free end of the left door in a closed position, and a second retainer which is positioned on the bottom of the container and is inclined outwardly toward the left door of the container and toward the left side thereof, having one end wedged against the left side of the container and the other end positioned against the lower portion of the first retainer and the left door of the container, a flexible liner supported within the container, one end of which abuts the retainers,
