Abstract: The present invention provides a fingerstall-cannulated guide device for accurate and efficient guide wire placement for antegrade femoral nailing systems. The said device comprises a fingerstall with a cannulated guide connected with or without a threaded guide wire. Using this device, surgeons can determine the entry point for the guide wire fast and accurately by tactile hand-eye coordination. After correct entry point is obtained, the guide wire is advanced and the fingerstall-cannulated guide can be easily detached. The device and method can accomplish the following: (1) reduction of the surgery time; (2) reduction of the radiation exposure times, and (3) reduction of the soft tissue damage during surgery. The device is also beneficial for use in fastening together any or all portions of bone surrounding a fracture site.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disposable tube that represents a low-cost and convenient container for the liquid aliquots of biological and immunological reagents, such as monoclonal antibodies, purified enzymes, for use in the determination of various components from biological sources. The disposable tube is composed of plastic material with sealed liquid aliquots inside. This tube can be opened by the rupture of both sealed ends right before use. The present invention relates to a new “ready for use” tube and relevant kit(s) that can be used in various kind of biochemical, immunological analysis including, but not limited to, immunohistochemical and immunocytochemical staining, immunoprecipitation, western blot, enzyme activity analysis, in the determination of various components from biological sources. A relevant prototype of “Leukocyte Immunophenotyping Kit” is also described.
