Systems and associated methods for repairing first and second bone fragments include a bone compression device 10 characterized by an elongated fastener 16 and an anchor 26. The fastener 16 includes an externally-threaded shank 18, an enlarged head 20, and a bore 24 extending through both. The anchor 26 includes an internally-threaded bore 28 configured to receive the threaded shank 18 of the fastener 16 at a first end of the anchor 26, and an enlarged shoulder 30 at a second end. The fastener 16 inserts fittedly into a first bore 25 formed in the first and second bone fragments, with the head 20 engaging a rim 27 of the first bore 25. The anchor 26 inserts fittedly into a second bore 29 formed in the second bone fragment, the anchor shoulder 30 engaging a rim 31 of the second bore 29. During compression of the bone segments, a small space 74 is maintained between the second end of the anchor 26 and an intersection of the first bore 25 and the second bore 29.

A steam steriliser, a single use/disposable container for use in the steriliser and a sterilisation method. The container is a rigid or semi-rigid container having a sealable elongate conduit through which steam sterilant may be introduced into the container and steam sterilant and condensate may be removed from the container. Once one or more items to be sterilised are placed in the container a cover is sealed over the mouth of the container. The steam steriliser has a sterilisation chamber adapted to receive the container and provide sterilant within and around the container. Sterilant is provided to the container via the conduit which is sealed at the end of the sterilisation process.
