  • Publication number: 20260307868
    Abstract: A container including a bottle, and a cap arrangement fixed thereto and including relatively rotatable cap parts. The cap arrangement incorporates a child-resistant feature with a lever fixed to one cap part and movable between release and lock positions. The lever in the lock position prevents relative rotation of the cap parts, and in the release position permits relative rotation. The other cap part incorporates a recessed portion and at least one detent disposed therein, and the lever is disposed for selectively engaging with the detent. Dispensing openings of the cap parts are non-aligned with one another and define a closed container configuration when the lever is engaged with the detent, and the dispensing openings are at least partially aligned with one another and define an open container configuration when the lever is disengaged from the detent.

  • Patent number: 5725532
    Abstract: A non-opposed surgical reduction clamp 10 is provided which has a drill guide 40 integrally formed with a guide leg 20 of the reduction clamp 10. The reduction clamp 10 also includes a reference leg 50 pivotably connected to the guide leg 20 through a pivot 70. The reference leg 50 includes a sharpened tip 57 at a tip thereof which can penetrate into a surface of a bone somewhat to prevent slippage of the reference leg 50. The drill guide 40 has an inner cylindrical surface 44 to provide an alignment axis Z for location of bone fixation structures, such as K-wire, pins or screws for reattachment and fixation of fractured bone fragments. Alignment axis Z of the drill guide 40 is in a common plane with the sharpened tip 57 of the reference leg 50, but extends beyond the sharpened tip 57 of the reference leg 50.
