Abstract: A method of suturing a trocar path incision in a tissue of a patient with an obturator includes inserting the obturator through the tissue such that a shaft of the obturator extends through a tissue opening about the trocar path incision and a distal tip of the obturator is positioned within a cavity of the patient. The method also includes directing the suture via a suturing feature with the obturator inserted through the tissue in order to direct the suture relative to the tissue. Furthermore, the method includes closing the tissue opening about the trocar path incision with the suture.

Abstract: A vertical cable rail panel includes first and second rails, and each comprises a channel and a plurality of spaced apart through holes. An internal member is disposed within one of the channels and defines a bearing surface and a first opening. A rigid support member vertically extends between the first rail and the second rail. A vertical cable includes a cable member, a first swage fitting, and a second swage fitting. The first end of the vertical cable extends through one of the plurality of through holes in the first rail and extends through the first opening in the internal member. A swage fitting is secured to each end of the vertical cable. A threaded member is associated with one of the swage fittings and the internal member, and adjusting the threaded member adjusts a tension in the vertical cable.

Abstract: Mass transfer tools and methods for high density transfer of arrays of micro devices are described. In an embodiment, a mass transfer tool includes a micro pick up array with an array of transfer heads arranged in clusters. The clusters of transfer heads can be used to pick up a high density group of micro devices followed by sequential placement onto a receiving substrate.

Abstract: Conformable transfer devices and micro-transfer printing methods are described. In an embodiment, a conformable transfer devices includes first and second arrays of transfer heads with differential lengths to support a micro-transfer printing sequence including a single pick operation and multiple placement operations.
