Abstract: Compression devices for joining tissue and methods for using and fabricating the same.

Abstract: A torque limiter and/or torque indicator having a distal component, a handle and a torsion component therebetween. The torsion wire can be comprised of a super elastic material that provides a torque plateau preventing over-torquing of an item to be driven, e.g., a bone screw. The torsion component can be a torsion wire or can be a torsion spring. The torsion component can be a single wire or multiple wires. The torsion component can be offset from the axis of rotation of the device.

Abstract: Active compression devices, methods of assembly and methods of use are disclosed. A bone fixation device may include a first member, a second member shaped to engage the first member, and at least one deformable member. A bone fusion device including a female member with a proximal and distal end, a male member with a proximal and distal end, and at least one elastic element positioned between the female member and the male member. A bone plating device including a first member, a second member shaped to engage the first member, and at least one deformable member positioned between the first member and the second member. Methods of assembling and using the bone fixation devices, bone fusion devices, and bone plating devices are also disclosed.
