Mechanical characteristics of three staples commonly used in foot surgery
BACKGROUND Bone staples are an accepted method of fixation in foot surgery. They reduce operating time and trauma in surgical procedures. A variety of memory staples are available but their properties compared to standard staples are not known. We carried out a study comparing two popular types of memory staples and a standard stainless steel staple. METHODS Standardized bone models of metata...
متن کاملNitinol compression staples for bone fixation in foot surgery.
We reviewed the use of compression staples made of the memory metal alloy nitinol for fixation in foot surgery. A retrospective study was performed of 31 feet in 27 patients who underwent arthrodesis or an osteotomy fixated using compression staples. OSStaples (BME, San Antonio, Texas) were used in 18 feet, and Memodyn staples (Telos Medical, Fallston, Maryland) were used in 13 feet. A total of...
متن کاملDeposition of carbon nanotubes in commonly used sample filter media
There is no single standard technique or methodology to characterize the size, structure, number, and chemical composition of airborne carbon nanotubes. Existing analytical instruments and analytical techniques for evaluating nanoparticle concentrations cannot simultaneously provide morphology, state of agglomeration, surface area, mass, size distribution and chemical composition data critical...
متن کاملEffects of Three Commonly-used Diuretics on the Urinary Proteome
Biomarker is the measurable change associated with a physiological or pathophysiological process. Unlike blood which has mechanisms to keep the internal environment homeostatic, urine is more likely to reflect changes of the body. As a result, urine is likely to be a better biomarker source than blood. However, since the urinary proteome is affected by many factors, including diuretics, careful...
متن کاملThe use of staples in dermatologic surgery.
Staples are an excellent form of wound closure for certain types of cutaneous surgery, namely, scalp reductions, application of split-thickness grafts, axillary vault resections, and truncal excisions. Various staplers currently in use, their advantages and disadvantages, are reviewed in the context of these aforementioned procedures.
