Abstract: A medical device transfer system configured to transfer a medical device to a bed rail, including: a transfer assembly configured to be attached to the medical device including: a clamp latch; a cart latch; a clamp engagement element configured to engage a clamp fixture; and a cart engagement opening; and a cart engagement assembly configured to engage the transfer assembly and to connect to a cart, the cart engagement assembly comprising a transfer assembly engagement element, wherein the transfer assembly engagement element is configured to engage the cart engagement opening, wherein clamp latch is configured to lock and unlock the transfer assembly to the clamp fixture, and wherein the cart latch is configured to lock and unlock the cart engagement assembly to the transfer assembly.

Abstract: Tunable apodized multiple-focus ophthalmic devices and methods characterized by a lens with multiple optical zones each with an optical power optimized for one or more focal lengths and a tunable apodization mask positioned within at least a portion of the optical zone(s). Upon a desired change of focus for the wearer, an optical transmission characteristic of the tunable apodization mask may be varied. The tunable apodization mask may take the form of an electrochromic device or another suitable material.

Abstract: A surgical implant may include a first implant member, a second implant member and a fastener. The first implant member may include a first aperture having first and second ends. The first aperture may include a female threaded portion and a barrier member disposed between the first and second ends and extending radially inward into the first aperture. The female threaded portion may be disposed between the first end and the barrier member. The second implant member may include a second aperture. The fastener may extend at least partially through the first and second apertures and may include a head portion and a shaft portion. The shaft portion may include a flexible tab and a male threaded portion engaging the female threaded portion. The male threaded portion may be disposed between the flexible tab and the head portion.

Abstract: A closure system may secure a first bone portion to a second bone portion. The closure system may include a bracket, a band and a tensioning device. The bracket may include a first portion adapted to engage the first bone portion and a second portion adapted to engage the second bone portion. The band may engage the bracket and may be adapted to be looped around the first and second bone portions. The tensioning device may include a body and a threaded member. The threaded member may be received in the body and may engage the band such that rotation of the threaded member relative to the body moves a first end of the band relative to a second end of the band.
