  • Publication number: 20150336310
    Abstract: A method and system of injection molding a plastic item, such as a preform, is provided. The method and system relates to positioning a first core within a mold cavity such that a first space is defined between the inner surface of the mold cavity and the outer surface of the first core and injecting a flowable first plastic material into the first space to form a first preform layer. The method and system relate to positioning a second core within the mold cavity and within the first preform layer such that a second space is defined between the inner surface of the first preform layer and the outer surface of the second core and injecting a flowable second plastic material into the second space to form a second preform layer located inside the first preform layer.

  • Publication number: 20130304124
    Abstract: A spinal plating system for vertebral fixation includes a plate, a compression screw, multiple fixation members and polyaxially adjustable locking rings. The plate is shaped to conform to the curvature of the spine and the surfaces of the vertebral bodies. The compression screw fits through an insert, and together they are guided by the plate as the screw is driven into one of the vertebrae, producing compression between the adjacent vertebrae. A retaining lip on the plate prevents backout of the compression screw. The polyaxial locking rings can be polyaxially pivoted to attain a desired orientation, and are lockable to the plate to maintain the orientation. The fixation members fit through openings in the polyaxial locking rings and the plate to fix the plate to the vertebrae. Locking the polyaxial locking rings fixes the position of the fixation members relative to the plate, and prevents backout of the fixation members.
