Abstract: This disclosure relates to a surgical method for deploying implants for repairing damaged tissue, such as meniscus tears. One exemplary surgical device for use in the method includes a cannula and a pusher moveable within the cannula to deploy a plurality of implants. Movement of the pusher in the distal direction deploys a distal-most implant and moves any additional implants distally within the cannula. Thus, multiple implants can be loaded into the cannula and deployed using one pusher. The disclosed arrangement is easy to use and has fewer component parts compared to prior devices, which in turn increases the ease of manufacture and reduces cost.

Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (700) for making a mixed food item. The methods comprise creating a seal between an inner container of a culinary tool and an outer container of the culinary tool such that at least one ingredient of the mixed food item is prevented from exiting the culinary tool. The culinary tool is configured to at least facilitate measurement of a volume of the ingredient necessary to make the mixed food item. The inner container is rotated relative to the outer container of the culinary tool so that the seal is at least partially broken, whereby the ingredient is dispensed from the culinary tool into the culinary appliance.
