  • Patent number: 10687801
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of devices, systems and methods for suturing biological tissue incorporating one or more suture spools. The suture spools can be located external to a handle or elongate body of a suturing device, and can contain the sutures within an inner circumference of the suture spools. The suture spools can be configured to reduce entanglement of sutures during use in an operation.

  • Patent number: 4364990
    Abstract: Improved construction material especially suitable for use in the manufacture of soundboards and panels used in stringed instruments which equal or surpass the sound radiation qualities and physical properties of wood. The construction material of the invention includes fibers having a Young's modulus of elasticity greater than 18.times.10.sup.11 dynes/cm.sup.2 and a density less than 2 g/cc bonded to a material having a density lying within the range of 0.15 g/cc and 1 g/cc, the said fibers of the composite are oriented in such manner so as to provide a final material having a bending stiffness ratio of at least 4:1.
