Abstract: A device for intraoperative sizing of a human female breast during resizing and/or shaping of the breast composes: a (a) substantially hemispherical, rigid, cup-shaped foraminous body, i.e., a foraminous cup, defining a desired size and shape of the breast; and (b) a rim member to which the foraminous cup is affixed.

Abstract: A bone clamp permits temporary securement of adjacent bone segments of an involved bone separated by a fracture following open reduction thereof. A pair of jaw members opposed to one another are mutually urgeable together, each of the pair of jaw members including gripping structure carried on a support for fixedly engaging the abutted segments of the involved bone, the fracture being oriented within an intermediate region located between said opposed ends of the support. In an embodiment directed to non-dynamic compression of the fracture, the gripping structure either fictionally engages the surface of the bone, or penetrates perpendicular to a longitudinal bone axis.

Abstract: A bone clamp for insertion into a surgical incision perpendicular to a bone fracture has a ratchet mechanism. The bone clamp includes a scissor portion and a clamping portion. The scissor portion includes a pair of scissor arms, pivotally connected to one another, each having a finger loop at one end. Cooperating components of the ratchet mechanism are carried on each scissor arm, permitting a stepwise reduction in distance between the loops and between terminal ends of the scissor arms through the pivotal connection while preventing separation of the loops. The clamping portion includes a first elongated member pivotally connected at one of its ends to the terminal end of one of the scissor arms with a gripping point at another end. A second elongated member is pivotally connected to the terminal end of the other scissor arm. The first and second elongated members are slidably mounted to one another along their longitudinal axes.
