  • Patent number: 10342720
    Abstract: A walker seat may include a seat bottom and a support structure. The seat bottom may include an anterior region, a posterior region, an upper side, and a lower side. The lower side may include a central segment retention portion. The support structure may include a central segment, a left-side segment, and a right-side segment. The central segment may be retained by the central segment retention portion. The left-side segment may be extendable from a left side of the central segment, whereby the left-side segment extends beyond a left side of the seat bottom. Similarly, the right-side segment may be extendable from a right side of the central segment, whereby the right-side segment extends beyond a right side of the seat bottom.

  • Patent number: 10278886
    Abstract: A crutch grip (100) includes a grip (101) disposed between a first grip end (102) and a second grip end (103). The first grip end and the second grip end can define a partially annular receiver for a crutch post (106,107). One or more retaining clips (108,109) can include a base member (408,409), a first, curved, cantilevered leg (410,411), and a second, curved, cantilevered leg (412,413). The retaining clips can removably engage an outer surface (202,203) of the first grip end or the second grip end such that an annular clasp (602,603) is defined between the first grip end or the second grip end and the retaining clips.

  • Patent number: 10188420
    Abstract: Disclosed is an aortic punch comprising a first body member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second body member disposed at least partially within said first body member, a manual actuator, a piston having an anvil disposed at a distal end thereof, and a shear, said shear being integral with said second body member. The first body member and second body member are axially movable relative to one another between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position and within a range of intermediate positions while maintaining the piston and shear in position relative to each other in the axial direction, and separately the shear is axially movable via manual actuation relative to said anvil between an insertion position and a shearing position and a range of intermediate positions.

  • Publication number: 20180185214
    Abstract: A walker seat may include a seat bottom and a support structure. The seat bottom may include an anterior region, a posterior region, an upper side, and a lower side. The lower side may include a central segment retention portion. The support structure may include a central segment, a left-side segment, and a right-side segment. The central segment may be retained by the central segment retention portion. The left-side segment may be extendable from a left side of the central segment, whereby the left-side segment extends beyond a left side of the seat bottom. Similarly, the right-side segment may be extendable from a right side of the central segment, whereby the right-side segment extends beyond a right side of the seat bottom.

  • Patent number: 10011423
    Abstract: A cutting device (200) includes a receiver (404) and a translating head (403). The receiver includes a mounting plate (407) with a first fastener delivery device (307) and a second fastener delivery device (308) coupled thereto. A first gatherer (410) and a second gatherer (411) each extend distally from the mounting plate between the first fastener delivery device and the second fastener delivery device. A cutter (416) extends distally from the mounting plate between the first gatherer and the second gatherer. The translating head includes a complementary cutter (425) to engage the cutter to impart a scissor cutting action as the translating head translates toward the receiver. The translating head can also optionally include a third gatherer (423), a fourth gatherer (424), a first bender (421), and a second bender (422) as well.
