Abstract: An online personalized gifting system and method includes an application executed on a computing device to communicate with a merchant server owned and managed by a merchant for generating customized gift structures that may be sent to a recipient. The application transmits the gift structure templates to a merchant server in communication with a user computing device, communicates with the merchant server to receive a selected one gift structure template that has been obtained by the merchant server from the user computing device, and communicate with the merchant server to receive at least one of user-supplied textual, audio, or video content that has been obtained by the merchant server from the user computing device. The application communicates with a production facility located at a site of the merchant to generate a gift structure in accordance with the selected gift structure template and the user-supplied content using a production facility.

Abstract: A flexible reamer for preparing a hole in a tissue includes a shaft that extends along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end. The shaft is cannulated through and has a flexible portion along at least a portion of its length. The flexible portion includes a plurality of discrete, interlocking portions. An asymmetric tip at the distal end of the shaft has at least one flute positioned off-axis relative to a longitudinal axis of the flexible reamer.

Abstract: In a first embodiment, the present invention includes an instrument for use in preparing a femur for soft tissue repair or reconstruction, including a cannulated, curved guide tool having a cannulated body extending to a distal tip and a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the cannulated body and distal tip; and a flange secured to the distal tip and extending from the distal tip in a direction transverse from the distal tip, the flange having a first curve along at least a portion of the flange and a degree of tilt, relative to the plane, along at least a portion of the flange.
