Abstract: Scanners with wakeup systems are disclosed herein. An example scanner assembly includes a wakeup system having an infrared (IR) transmitter configured to project IR illumination through a window of the scanner and an IR receiver. The IR receiver has a second field-of-view (FOV) directed through the window that overlaps a first FOV of an imaging assembly of the scanner by at least 50% at the window and has a second central axis that is non-perpendicular to the window such that the second central axis is tilted downward from horizontal with the scanner assembly positioned in a vertical first configuration where the window is in a generally upright orientation. A controller of the scanner is configured to activate an illumination system when the IR receiver detects IR illumination reflected from an object in the second FOV of the IR receiver.

Abstract: A system is provided for aligning an intramedullary nail for implantation when the intramedullary nail has an intramedullary nail body having a first end having a first interlocking profile and the intramedullary nail body has a first through hole extending therethrough about a first axis. The system comprises an alignment device adapted and configured to be separable from the intramedullary nail. The system also comprises a holding fixture comprising a channel and a projection adapted and configured to cooperatively receive the intramedullary nail in the channel such that the projection extends within the first through hole and the first axis aligns with a through hole of the alignment device when the first interlocking profile is engaged with an interlocking profile of the alignment device.

Abstract: A tool for manipulating the position of an implantable medical device. In some embodiments the tool includes a readily releasable grasping feature that securely couples the implant to the tool while the implant is being manipulated. Preferably, the user can simply release the implant from the tool. The tool in other embodiments includes an internal pathway for accommodating non-linear implants, such as curved rods, wires, or nails. In yet other embodiments the tool has multiple handles, each handle being adapted and configured to permit manipulation of the implant in a single predetermined orientation, but with alternative handles for grasping in different hand orientations. Still further embodiments pertain to a kit having a tool and a plurality of collets, each collet being adapted and configured to grasp a different size of implant, but each collet having identical tool coupling features such that any collet in the kit can be used with the single tool.

Abstract: A means of fastening an intramedullary nail to the surface of a bone.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for performing soft tissue repair by delivering a suture through the soft tissue and underlying bone at two or more fixation points that can be spaced apart from each other and connected by the suture on the surface of the soft tissue. The two or more fixation points and the suture connected there between can be a continuous strand of suture, which can form a stitching assembly that can provide sufficient fixation in the bone and minimize disruption to the soft tissue and bone. In an example, the suture can be delivered into the bone using one or more implants that can catch the suture to drive the suture through the tissue and into the bone. The one or more implants can include structural features to aid in securing the suture to the implant. In an example, the suture can include structural features or be formed of a material to aid in fixation of the suture in the bone.

Abstract: A orthopedic tool (10) for bone fixation is provided for driving a bone pin into a fractured bone to stabilize the fractured bone by maintaining the fractured bone in a reduced state. The tool may be a handheld device including a magazine (56) having a plurality of passageways (98) containing one or more bone pins (62) positioned within the passageways. The tool may also include a pneumatically—powered piston (64) having a projection (70) that is sized for receipt within the plurality of passageways, the projection applying sufficient force to the bone pin to drive the bone pin out of the magazine and into the fractured bone.

Abstract: A kit for powering an aftermarket device from a wiring harness made available to the interior of a vehicle, the wiring harness connector comprising a 12 V port and a ground port, both accessible to a user. The kit includes a power cord having a first end and a second end, the first end having a pair of first end connectors and the second end terminating in a plug for powering the user-selected aftermarket device. The power cord further includes a length of two power cord wires, a first power cord wire for carrying current from a 12 V source from the wiring harness and a second power cord wire establishing a ground connection between the wiring harness and aftermarket device.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a tool for stabilizing a fractured bone. The tool comprises a barrel having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the barrel includes a passageway for receiving a bone pin configured to be driven into the fractured bone to stabilize the fractured bone. The passageway is sized to accommodate axial movement of the bone pin through the passageway while limiting radial movement of the bone pin in the passageway. The tool further comprises a piston having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to translate axially relative to the barrel. The proximal end of the piston includes a head and the distal end of the piston includes a needle formation, the needle formation being sized for receipt within the passageway of the barrel to drive the bone pin axially from the barrel and into the fractured bone.
