Devices and methods to provide hands free scleral depression and illumination during ophthalmic procedures

The devices and methods of the present invention provide a means to depress the sclera in such a fashion as to provide single point, multiple point, semicircular or 360° circumferential scleral tissue depression and light without the need for manual manipulation of the scleral depressor. The device comprises a shaped depressor for insertion between the sclera and the orbit of the eye and a holding means for positioning the depressor. In some embodiments the device can be integrated with a speculum. Use of the device eliminates the need to have a second person manipulate the depressor during the procedure and directly enables bimanual surgery.

Salmon Net Picking Tool on a Retractable Spool

InactiveUS20250057131A1Travelling carriersHoldersFishmonger'sMarine engineering
A salmon net picking tool on a retractable spool. Salmon fishers use something called a net picking tool to pull fish that get caught in the netting. This fishing net picking tool is important to keep close by at all times when pulling fish out of the ocean. However, it is also very important for fishermen to keep their hands free as the ship sways. The salmon net picking tool on a retractable spool helps resolve both issues.

Band employing bistable magnetic actuator with hands free actuation

A band configured to wrap around and be secured to an object includes at least three members pivotably connected to one another so as to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the first member including an outwardly disposed face defining an imaginary plane and each of the second and third members including an actuator prong that extends outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the open position and that is retracted to no longer extend outwardly beyond the imaginary plane when in the closed position. Movement of the object into contact with the first member so as to exert actuation forces toward the outwardly disposed face when the actuator prongs are in contact with a surface causes the second and third members to move from the open position to the closed position due to forces created between the actuator prongs and the surface.
