  • Patent number: 11202454
    Abstract: A smoker device for an outdoor cooking unit comprises a top, a back, two sides, and a hinged front door, all of which are substantially solid, and together forming an interior chamber with an open bottom. The smoker device rests on a grilling surface of a cooking unit. A perforated chimney box is fixably mounted inside the interior chamber, with a removable chip box positioned at the bottom of the chimney box, and a hinged hatch at the top. Removable food racks and a vessel for liquids may also be present inside the interior chamber. An adjustable air damper allows air exchange between the interior chamber and ambient air. The device allows an existing outdoor cooking unit to convert to a multi-rack vertical smoker.

  • Patent number: 8206453
    Abstract: A sigmoid notch resurfacing prosthesis for application to the sigmoid notch of the distal radius. The sigmoid notch prosthesis generally includes a saddle and a radius portion for attachment to the distal radius. The saddle may be formed from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene or another durable self-lubricating material. The saddle includes an at least partially concave contoured depression having rounded edges that is securable to the radius portion. The saddle may be secured by a sliding notch snap fit design. The prosthesis may be adapted for articulation with the natural head of the ulnar or with an ulnar head prosthesis that has replaced the ulnar head.

  • Publication number: 20080091198
    Abstract: A carpal fusion plate for use in fusion of the bones of the midcarpus or other bones. The fusion plate is concave and defines at least one round countersunk screw hole and at least one tapered elongate slotted aperture. The tapered elongate slotted aperture is narrower peripherally and broader centrally. The fusion plate also defines a multilobated central opening.

  • Publication number: 20070073409
    Abstract: A radial-capitellar implant for surgical replacement of the capitellum of the humerus and, optionally, the head of the radius. The radial-capitellar implant includes a capitellar implant or surface replacement arthroplasty of the capitellum and a radial prosthesis for replacement of the head of the radius. In one embodiment the radial prosthesis includes an articular head which moveable articulates with a stem implantable in the radius.

  • Publication number: 20050085921
    Abstract: A wrist implant requires minimal resection of the distal radius and preserves the sigmoid notch and articulation with the head of the distal ulna. The wrist implant generally includes a radius portion, a carpal portion and a carpal ball. The wrist implant includes a primary articulation and a secondary rotational articulation. The primary articulation occurs between the radius portion and the carpal ball. The secondary articulation occurs between the carpal ball and the carpal portion.
