Abstract: The invention is a post-operative binder designed primarily for female patients made of relatively elastic and padded material. The present invention is designed to put pressure on the Pfannenstiel incisional area to prevent swelling through the use of a primary fastener and cross straps. Cross straps are fixedly attached to the midline section of the binder and removably attach to the sides of the binder at an angle to apply the appropriate pressure to the incisional area. The invention is designed with pockets to accommodate hold hot or cold packs in the incisional area, pain relief devices, sandbags or other hard or soft support structures to apply additional pressure, or drainage receptacles.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a series of network connection elements including automatic plug-ins, configurable plug-ins and visual based system-built customized extensions. These elements are used according to embodiments of the present invention to serve as building blocks for connecting one or more disparate systems together. In some embodiments of the present invention, these building blocks can be arranged in a visual based environment to help facilitate integration of the systems in question. In a preferred implementation, an API server provides a four-pronged solution to provide integrated data access. The four components of this implementation are an Internal Integration Engine, ETL and B2B application adapters, an XML Gateway, and an application-specific High Performance Interface.
