Abstract: A pull and plate assembly is described that serves as a handle for a drawer or cabinet and a backing plate for attachment of the pull to the drawer or cabinet while facilitating the concealment of preexisting holes created by attachment of prior pulls to the cabinet or drawer surface as well as wear and tear damage caused by use of prior pulls when opening and closing the drawer or cabinet.

Abstract: An anastomotic device and method for receiving the free ends of anatomic tubular structures to be anastomosed, the device having a pair of ring members for securement to the free end of each of the tubular members to be anastomosed and the ring members having annular connecting structure which mate with each other to connect the ring members. Novel securement structure is associated with the annular connecting structure to enable the securement of the ring members in a fixed relationship at a predetermined distance from each other. Structure is provided to connect each tubular member free end over a ring member so that the free ends are positioned contiguous to each other around the connecting structure to enable the ends to grow together in an atmosphere outside the flow path of the tubular members to be anastomosed and approximate the outer surface of the tubular member.

Abstract: An anastomotic device and method for receiving the free ends of flexible tubing to be anastomosed, the device has a pliable sleeve with its opposite ends rolled outwardly upon themselves to form relatively firm ring members to engage and secure the free ends of the tubing to be anastomosed, the tubing free ends engaging each other as they are secured to and held by the ring members of the sleeve, the tubing ends being contiguously inverted to enable the ends to grow together permanently.

Abstract: An apparatus for intestinal anastomosis is formed from a pair of anastomotic ring members, each of which is secured to the free end of two tubular tissue members to be anastomosed, and a coupling tube of special design adapted to join each ring member and its associated attached tissue member to the other ring member and attached tissue member. A method for performing intestinal anastomotic surgery utilizing the apparatus above wherein each tubular tissue member end is pulled over the outside and through the inside of one of the ring members and thereby inverted as it is secured to fenestrated projections on the ring member.
