Abstract: A solution is provided to release a tissue cinching loop within a body having a first thread having a first end and a second end, and a second thread having a first half having a first tip, a second half having a second tip, a bottom half having a link, and a top half, wherein the first end is inserted through the link. A first knot is formed around the first thread with the top half thereby forming a loop where the diameter of the loop decreases as the knot is pushed into the body and the first thread is pulled out of the body and where the loop is released within the body when the first end is pulled out of the body.

Abstract: A process for polymer coating electrical conductors comprises dissolving a polymer in a volatile solvent to provide a solution of the polymer. The solution is maintained in a container provided with an outlet orifice at its lower end. The conductor to be coated is drawn through the solution and out of the bottom orifice which is sized to receive the conductor and the desired wall thickness of the coating. After the coated conductor leaves the orifice, it is passed through a heating chamber to evaporate the volatile solvent.
