  • Publication number: 20200347602
    Abstract: A support system may separate a structure from a roof of a building. The support system may include a base portion. The base portion may include at least one rounded edge configured to reduce the engagement of the base portion with the structure. A support portion may be coupled to the base portion. The support system may include at least one support channel sized and shaped to receive the structure. The support channel may straddle the structure when the structure is received in the support channel. The base portion may define at least one cutout configured to reduce the amount of drag on the support system, for instance when the support system is exposed to wind.

  • Publication number: 20140052018
    Abstract: A specimen retrieval system for use with minimally invasive surgical procedures is disclosed. The system permits excised tissue having a dimension, a size, a shape, or a volume larger than a natural orifice or a surgical incision used in a minimally invasive procedure to access the surgical site, to be removed from the body through the natural orifice or surgical incision. The system comprises a specimen retrieval container and a compression structure. The compression structure is configured to apply a compressive force to the container to reduce or alter at least one of a dimension, a size, a shape, and a volume of the container and the tissue contained therein, such that the tissue can be removed through the natural orifice or surgical incision without need to surgically alter or enlarge the orifice or original incision.
