A coaxial tube assembly, a bag, a bag-translating assembly, a de-bulking tool, and a drive assembly. The bag is delivered into a cavity in a patient's body either manually for open surgery or through the coaxial tube assembly by operation of the drive assembly for minimally invasive surgery. After a mass of tissue is placed in the bag, which is now secured to the bag-translating assembly, the drive assembly is operated to activate the bag-translation assembly to retract the bag into the annular space of the coaxial tube assembly. As the bag is being retracted, the mass in the bag is pulled into engagement with the de-bulking tool, which extends through the lumen of the coaxial tube assembly. The drive assembly activates the de-bulking tool to morcellate the mass in the bag and convey the morcellated bits of the mass through the lumen of the coaxial tube assembly.

A pre-scented or custom scented card insert designed to fit into any existing toilet paper or paper towel holder. The insert allows consumers to choose a scent additive to freshen their bathroom, kitchens or any other place where these products are used, as well as to scent the toilet paper or paper towel rolls. The insert can be replaced easily to refresh the roll, or additional inserts can be added to create a stronger fragrance impact.

Lightweight multi-ply tissue products, such as facial tissue and bath tissue, are produced by printing flexible polymeric binder material, such as certain latex binders, onto one or more inner surfaces of the multi-ply tissue product. The resulting products have low stiffness and high strength.

A method of treating a patient in cosmetic surgery, using first and second hollow tubular surgical members and a suture to be surgically inserted under the patient's facial skin, including the following steps: cutting a single incision in the patient's facial skin adjacent to the area of the ear; threading the first and second hollow tubular members with a continuous suture having thereon a plurality of spaced-apart, movable cross sutures; inserting the insertion tip with the threaded suture through the incision and under the facial skin, toward the patient's fold line in the nasal area; removing the second hollow tubular member from the first hollow tubular member and from the nasal area and out through the single incision, while leaving in place the suture and the plurality of cross sutures so they are disposed in the facial tissue; pulling on the proximal tip of the suture which is extending out of the incision in order to pull the plurality of cross sutures in the facial tissue which causes the cross sutures to move from their substantially parallel relationship to the suture so that they are moved to a position which is substantially perpendicular to the suture in order to engage and anchor the cross sutures in the facial tissue; pulling and tieing off the suture in the area of the incision which operates to pull the facial tissue and the facial fold line more tightly in order to minimize the appearance of the facial fold line in the nasal area.

A holding device for temporarily attaching a facial tissue box or similar container to a supporting structure such as glove box door, sun visor, window, bed railing or headboard, or similar. The device is removably attachable to both the box and the supporting structure. Two laterally projecting arms grip the box while a clip attaches to the structure. The arms may comprise hooks, points or other features designed to enhance their grip on a paperboard, or similar, box. These features may optionally penetrate, crimp, or depress the side of the container. If desired, one or both of the arms may be adjustable to accommodate a range of box widths and / or depths.

Improvements to a paper web material dispenser, for example a roll tissue dispenser or a roll paper towel dispenser, that has a user actuation mechanism for rotating a dispensing mechanism of the dispenser. The dispenser is designed to prevent excessive force that is applied to the user actuation mechanism from causing damage to components of the dispenser connected to the user actuation mechanism. A torque limiting mechanism is used to limit the torque that is applied to the dispensing mechanism of the dispenser when a user applies an excessive force to the user actuation mechanism. The torque applied to the dispensing mechanism is kept below a level that would be sufficient to cause damage to the dispensing mechanism or portions thereof.
