  • Publication number: 20200022703
    Abstract: A sutureless device and methods for closing a tissue opening that minimizes the labor, cost, and skill typically required is disclosed. The apparatus comprises two anchors that attach to either side of an open tissue wound. The two anchors are connected together by a tie strip; the tie strip has a plurality of teeth and a rack. As the wound edges and anchors are brought together the ratchet system on the tie strip prevents the anchors and tissue wound from reopening. To control the distance between the two anchors, a rack and pinion system and a key or a lever system is utilized. The rack is located on the tie strip and the pinion is located on the key.

  • Publication number: 20170014262
    Abstract: An intraoral orthosis device that has a bite tray nested in an outer tray. The bite tray has a higher deformation temperature than the outer tray at an elevated temperature. The thickness of the outer tray's base varies to create a vertex and angle that is similar to the temporomandibular joint. The intraoral orthosis device has two bite trays, a maxillary bite tray and a mandibular bite tray. The bite trays are connected by arms, releasable fasteners, or a combination of the two. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method to manufacture an intraoral orthosis device without the need of utilizing the skills of a technician or dentist.
