  • Publication number: 20200113586
    Abstract: An anchor delivery system includes both a straight and curved drill guide along with a flexible drill, a flexible obturator and a flexible anchor inserter. The curved drill guide has a distal tip with approximately a 15° bend from the primary axis of the drill guide. Both the drill and the obturator have a reduced diameter section to improve flexibility during passage through the curved drill guide. Additionally, a surface of the inserter shaft has a laser cut pattern which permits flexing of the inserter around the inner diameter of the curved drill guide.

  • Publication number: 20180328089
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a door mounting system. The door mounting system comprises a hinge assembly (101) and a door frame (5), the length of the hinge assembly (101) corresponding to a height of the door frame (5). The hinge assembly (101) comprises a first hinge member (2) coupled to the door frame (5), an intermediate hinge member (3), and a second hinge member (4) for attachment to a door leaf (1). The first hinge member (2) and the intermediate hinge member (3) are rotatably coupled to each other around a first hinge axis, and the second hinge member (4) and the intermediate hinge member (3) are rotatably coupled to each other around a second hinge axis. A locking element is adapted to selectively inhibit rotation of the intermediate member (3) relative to either the first hinge member (2) or the second hinge member (4).
