Abstract: A high-speed blending blade for a food-processing appliance includes two opposing upwardly arcuate blades, wherein each of the upwardly arcuate blades defines a continuously-curved downward top surface, two opposing downwardly arcuate blades, wherein each of the downwardly arcuate blades defines a continuously-curved upward top surface, a central blade portion having a central top surface, wherein the top central surface is co-planar with a portion of each downward top surface and each upward top surface and a pair of opposing top blades extending at a predetermined angle from proximate the central top surface.

Abstract: A joint spacer having a body and a series of extensions projecting therefrom is disclosed. A first of the series of extensions may include a curved section for housing a portion of a joint therein (e.g., the intercondylar notch of a knee), and a second and third of the extensions may be configured to abut an opposing portion of the joint. Once inserted, the joint spacer may maintain the spacing between, and the stabilization of, the joint during surgery. A fourth extension may be included with the spacer in which the extension may interact with an insertion-removal instrument. The insertion-removal instrument may include one end having an insertion geometry for use in inserting the spacer into the joint, and an opposing end having a removal geometry for removing the spacer. Related methods for inserting the joint spacer and various alternate joint distraction devices are also disclosed.
