Abstract: A bone barrier device can comprise a barrier material that can be inserted into the interior of a bone and adapted to prohibit substantially all of a bone filler material from flowing through and/or around the barrier material into and through a compromised portion of the bone. Such a barrier device may be inserted into a void created in the interior of a vertebral body so as to prevent the flow of bone cement through and/or around the barrier material into a compromised endplate and/or vertebral body wall. The bone barrier device may comprise a barrier material having an open weave, mesh, and/or through hole design adapted to reduce the flow, and to allow some flow, of bone filler material through and/or around the barrier material.

Abstract: A securing bracket for mounting a bed slide in a vehicle storage area is disclosed. The bed slide-mounting bracket is characterized by a body with a protrusion. The protrusion is formed comprising a cavity sufficient to affix the bed slide-mounting bracket to the vehicle storage area using pre-existing vehicle hardware.
