Abstract: Polymeric compositions, methods, and delivery devices for inhibiting bleeding are disclosed. The method includes applying a dried material topically to a wound site, where the material may include a cross-linked biologically compatible polymer which forms a hydrogel when exposed to blood and where the material may not include an active agent such as thrombin. A spring-loaded delivery device as described herein may be used to apply the dried material.

Abstract: An everter device includes a handle and at least one eversion tip. The handle has a first end and a second and each of the at least one eversion tip is coupled to a respective end of the handle. Additionally, the at least one eversion tip has a respective distal end, a respective proximal end, and a respective eversion surface. A sizing device includes a handle and at least one sizing guide. The handle has a first end and a second end. Each of the at least one sizing guide is coupled to a respective end of the handle. Additionally, the at least one sizing guide has a plurality of sizing apertures and associated sizing indicators. The everter device and the sizing device may be provided together as a kit.

Abstract: An organ retractor includes a plurality of retractor jaws and a central housing. The central housing includes a threaded portion. The plurality of retractor jaws is hingedly connected to the central housing. The plurality of retractor jaws is disposed in an open position by a spring.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic brake system, which includes at least one or more valves provided to control a hydraulic pressure delivered to wheel cylinders provided in wheels, a pressure measurer configured to measure the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders provided in the wheels, and a controller configured to open at least one or more valves that deliver the hydraulic pressure to a corresponding wheel cylinder and close at least one or more valves that deliver the hydraulic pressure to the remaining wheel cylinders other than the corresponding wheel cylinder when the at least one or more valves are detected as being opened or closed a predetermined number of times or more during a predetermined time period, and synchronize the measured hydraulic pressure with a hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder having all of the at least one or more valves open.
