Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a medical device. The medical device can include a first end having a first aperture, a first biasing member, a second aperture, and a second biasing member. Each of the first aperture and the second aperture can receive a portion of a bone component. The medical device can include a second end having a tensioning member that can apply force to at least a portion of the bone component.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide traction pin assemblies, components, systems, and methods. An example traction pin in assembly comprises a pin insertable into bone tissue to stabilize the bone tissue. The traction pin comprises a shaft extending between an end of the traction pin and a tip of the traction pin. The end of the traction pin is couplable to a driver that is operable to rotate the pin. The assembly may also comprise an adapter that is couplable to the driver to axially retain the traction pin relative to the driver. The assembly may also comprise a guide that defines a passage through which a portion of the shaft of the traction pin extends and provides a surface for gripping the guide. The surface has a larger surface area than a surface of the portion of the shaft extending through the guide.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein encompass disposable cover systems for a power tool, as well as covers, components, and methods. A disposable cover system may include a cover defining an inner cavity to receive a power tool and an aperture through which a pass-through to transmit movement from the power tool to outside the cover is extendable. Trapping a portion of a cover which surrounds the aperture, between first and second compressible members for example, may form a seal around the aperture. Transmission components including a pass-through, adapters to adapt a cover to a transmission component, multi-part devices to create an aperture, and related methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cover for a rotary tool allows a non-sterile rotary tool to be used in a sterile field. The cover comprises a flexible enclosure of a sterilizable material and a rotary pass through extending through a wall of the flexible enclosure. A rotary tool within the flexible enclosure is coupled to drive an inner rotatable member on the rotary pass through. The cover prevents the tool (which may not be sterile) from coming into direct contact with anything in a sterile field.

Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to an isolated nucleic acid molecule encompassing a neocentromere or a functional derivative thereof or a latent, synthetic or hybrid form thereof and its use inter alia in developing a range of eukaryotic artificial chromosomes including mammalian (e.g. human) and non-mammalian artificial chromosomes. Such artificial chromosomes are useful in a range of genetic therapies.
