Abstract: A surgical glove and a method of securing a surgical glove are presented to provide an improved surgical glove. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a self-adherent wrap is used to secure the surgical glove to the surgical gown of the user by encircling the self-adherent wrap around a substantial portion of both the cuff portion of the surgical glove and the surgical gown. The self-adherent wrap is configured such that, upon the application of suitable pressure, it adheres to itself in a cohesive state. The self-adherent wrap further defines a degree of adhesion in the cohesive state that is sufficient to bind the surgical glove to the surgical gown. Additional embodiments we disclosed.

Abstract: According to the present invention, spinal stabilization systems are supplemented with a diagnostically opaque material to enable the diagnostic recognition of the components of these systems. These spinal stabilization systems may comprise one or more flexible spacers, and one or more elastic cords, either or both of which may comprise a diagnostically opaque material. Additional spinal stabilization systems are contemplated.
