Abstract: A clip for use in carpal tunnel surgery and similar surgeries has two separate clip sections, each with a proximal end that snaps together with the opposing proximal end of the other section, to make an assembled clip with a space between the sections except at proximal ends. At least one of the clip sections can be configured as a dilator, with a tapered distal end and without sharp edges. The two clip sections form endoscope and live channels to receive a viewing endoscope and a knife, inserted through the proximal end of the assembled clip device. Illumination is provided, either within the clip or from the scope of another inserted device, to enable viewing through the endoscope during a procedure. An embodiment of the clip device is formed with a rotation hub, such that the two clip sections can be swung apart or used together in a surgical procedure.

Abstract: A device for retaining eyewear is disclosed. The device comprises one or more tethers rotatably coupled to a plurality of temple fasteners, the temple fasteners coupled to the temples of eyewear disposed on the ears of a user. More specifically, the device can further comprise a plurality of positioning members configured to couple with and rotate within a temple fastener to allow a tether coupled to the rotating position member to rotate relative to the head and neck of the user. The at least one tether can be disposed in various fixed positions relative to the head and neck of the user as well as relative to the eyewear.

Abstract: A portable, flexible lock is disclosed with a cut-resistant strap formed of a durable and flexible outer portion and that defines a chamber for receiving a second durable, flexible inner portion therein. The inner portion floats freely side-to-side within the chamber thereby making the inner portion more difficult to cut. In a disclosed embodiment, the outer portion is formed of woven KEVLAR and the inner portion is a stainless steel cable. The lock may include a housing assembly that holds one end of the strap while a synching device, such as a pivoting cam or the like, detachably secures a portion of the opposite end of the strap thereto when the synching device in a locked position. A lock structure holds the synching device in its locked position. One or more tools may be detachably secured to the housing assembly.
