摘要:
A composition which provides enhanced removal of aldehydes from the air of the building interior. The composition includes an amino silane and a multivalent metal carbonate and is especially suitable for adding to building product board substrates, such as acoustical ceiling panels and gypsum wallboards. The composition of the invention can be applied during manufacturing or can be post applied to already constructed room surfaces. The composition provides longevity of aldehyde removal heretofore unachieved.
摘要:
A tibial augment for use with a knee joint prosthesis, composed of annular members of different stock sizes, each size being configured to fit within a cavity formed in a human tibia. The augment may include a stepped distal surface. A provisional (temporary) tibial augment used to ensure a proper fit for the permanent augment is also provided. The provisional may include grooves configured to cooperate with a set of ribs on a tong-like holder used for removing the provisional from the cavity. A pusher for use implanting the tibial augment is also provided. In addition, a system for creating a cavity in a human tibia is also described. The system preferably includes a guide with a slot therein and a set of osteotomes that are inserted within different portions of the slot. Methods for using the tools and/or implanting the prosthetic devices discussed above are also described.
