Abstract: A device, system and method for the collection and management of point of delivery/sale information. A device is described that combines transaction data and a captured signature into the same file or data packet for storage in a database. Additionally, a system and method are described for using the device to record point of sale/delivery data, associate the recorded point of sale/delivery data with relevant transaction data, save the point of sale/delivery data and the transaction data into the same file, and store the image file in a database for later retrieval.

Abstract: A light coupling assembly that couples a light source to a light conducting system attached to a medical instrument so that light from the light source is transmitted to a surgical site. The light coupling assembly according to the present invention includes a member formed of a heat conducting material that receives and transfers heat from the light source to a light source housing. The light coupling assembly also includes an insulating member that receives a portion of the heat conducting member and prevents an attendant from being injured by the heat generated by the light source and carried by the heat conducting member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a storage apparatus for a surgical implant device that protects the integrity of a surgical implant device during transport, provides protection of the surgical implant device prior to the use of the device in surgery, and facilitates the handling of the surgical implant device by the operator.

Abstract: A dispenser that is mountable on a vertical or horizontal surface for dispensing adhesive-backed articles from a bulk stock using a single hand. The dispenser includes a housing having a bucket portion for receiving and containing the adhesive-backed articles to be dispensed and a cover connected to the bucket portion. The cover includes a window through which the adhesive-backed articles can be removed from the backing sheet and applied to a person or other animal using a single hand. The dispenser also includes a support member secured within the housing such that at least one of the cover and the support member is biased toward the other for preventing movement of the backing sheet as one of the adhesive-backed articles is removed from the backing sheet through the window.
