Abstract: Embodiments relate to devices, systems, kits and methods for achieving maxillo-mandibular fixation (MMF). In an embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of dental occlusion ties and/or tension band ties (referred to herein as “DO ties” and “TB ties,” respectively). In another embodiment, a system or kit can comprise a plurality of one or both of DO ties and/or TB ties as well as a trimming tool, comfort caps or material, a lip/cheek retractor, and/or an instruction sheet. DO ties and TB ties can simplify the management of mandible fractures and maxilla fractures by helping re-establish precise dental occlusion for MMF.

Abstract: A system includes a syringe barrel, a syringe plunger, and an annular collar. The syringe barrel has a longitudinal axis aligned axially between a discharge end and a cylinder end. The syringe plunger has a cap disposed on a first end, a piston disposed on a second end and configured for disposition in a bore of the barrel, and has a body disposed between the first end and the second end. The body has an external thread on a first surface and the body has a visible calibration indication aligned axially. The annular collar has at least one interrupted internal thread segment on an interior surface. The collar has elasticity such that in a first state, the internal thread is configured to engage the external thread and in a second state, in which a compressive force is exerted on opposing sides of the collar, the internal thread is disengaged from the external thread.
