Abstract: A customizeable, foldable equipment carrier with replaceable equipment carrier portions. The equipment carrier includes a first carrier and a second carrier. The second carrier is adapted for removable attachment to the first carrier. A plurality of pouches are provided on each of the carriers. The pouches are formed with parallel sides and a crimped lower seam such that they "puff" out to produce a voluminous storage pouch for storing of equipment therein. The equipment carrier may be customized by removal and replacement of the second carrier with a new carrier containing different tackle or equipment or a carrier having different pocket configurations.

Abstract: Stents are disclosed for use in surgical augmentation of tissue at body sites such as the alveolar ridge, by the use of an implant material, i.e., hydroxylapatite (HA) for example. The stents are used for surgical positioning and shaping of the implant material and for post operative maintenance thereof. The stents are constructed of a transparent substance, molded to a model of specific desired tissue morphology and adjacent tissues. In use, a stent is positioned to define a confining open sided cavity corresponding to the specific predetermined tissue morphology. Implant material is injected or placed beneath the soft tissue over which the stent is positioned, to expand the tissue to occupy entirely the inside of the stent cavity, this step facilitated by observation through the transparent stent walls.
