Filed:

Nov 15, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/191965

Inventors:

- Rancho Santa Margarita CA, US
Brian Carter - Rancho Santa Margarita CA, US
Oscar Raygan - Rancho Santa Margarita CA, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/30
A61B 17/04

Abstract:

A surgical training model can have features for training surgical suturing techniques. The training model can be formed as a sheet of simulated tissue having at least one cut with markings arranged on either side of the cut. The markings can be formed of a first layer of resilient simulated tissue material having a color that contrasts with a color of the remainder of the sheet of simulated tissue material. The sheet of simulated tissue material can have several cuts having different configurations and orientations to facilitate suturing training for a variety of tissue orientations. The sheet of simulated tissue material can further include holes positioned to be mounted to a base of a surgical training system. The sheet of simulated tissue material can be manufactured by molding a marking layer and casting a tissue layer over the marking layer.

Assignee:

Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. - Foothill Ranch CA

International Classification:

F16J 15/32
F16F 3/12

Abstract:

A canted coil spring assembly is disclosed having a plurality of coils and a filler material placed within the coils and in the direction of a centerline that goes through the coils. The plurality of coils have a loading direction that is generally perpendicular to a tangent of the centerline of the coils wherein a load is applied in such direction and causes the coils to deflect generally independently of adjacent coils.

Appl. No.:

14/701431

Inventors:

- Foothill Ranch CA, US
Brian Carter - Foothill Ranch CA, US

International Classification:

F16F 3/06

Abstract:

A spring assembly having at least two canted coil spring lengths nested together are disclosed. Two sections of coils of a canted coil spring length can each be positioned between two adjacent coils of another canted coil spring. Each section of the coils of the canted coil spring length includes at least one coil and up to several coils or a plurality of coils. The canted coil spring lengths are nested together to increase the deflection force of the overall spring assembly. The spring assembly having two or more nested spring lengths can be used in connector applications.
