Methods and devices for transmitting micromechanical forces locally to induce surface convolutions into tissues on the millimeter to micron scale for promoting wound healing are presented. These convolutions induce a moderate stretching of individual cells, stimulating cellular proliferation and elaboration of natural growth factors without increasing the size of the wound. Micromechanical forces can be applied directly to tissue, through biomolecules or the extracellular matrix. This invention can be used with biosensors, biodegradable materials and drug delivery systems. This invention will also be useful in pre-conditioned tissue-engineering constructs in vitro. Application of this invention will shorten healing times for wounds and reduce the need for invasive surgery.

A simplified insulating concrete form building system comprised of forms made from wood chips or other organic fibers, embedded in a Portland cement matrix, molded and trimmed into various shapes and sizes. The forms are held in position within the wall by means of unique, simplified form geometry and an internal fastening clip which combine to improve alignment and stability of the wall prior to filling the forms with concrete. The simplified geometry reduces worker error in orienting the form correctly within the wall thereby reducing handling and corresponding fatigue. The form's smooth faces provide more compact palletized shipments of forms, thereby reducing cost and damage in shipment. Concrete reinforcement bars are held within forms using a system of reinforcement bar holders which enables the precise positioning of the reinforcement within the wall, thereby increasing speed and accuracy of construction as well as structural performance of the wall assembly.
