Fabric care compositions for providing improved stain repellency are described. The fabric care composition includes a mixture including a hydrophobic fluid, a particulate material and an amphoteric or cationic oligomeric/polymeric deposition aid. Methods for providing improved stain repellency for a textile by treating the textile with the fabric care composition are also described.

A device for measuring a degree of bending of an intramedullary nail comprises a probe sized and shaped for insertion into a cannulation of an intramedullary nail. The probe including a first longitudinal element extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end and a second longitudinal element extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end, the distal ends of the first and second longitudinal elements attached to one another so that the longitudinal axes of the first and second longitudinal elements extend substantially parallel to each other and define a middle plane. A measuring element measures relative axial displacement of the proximal ends of the first and second longitudinal elements in the middle plane upon bending of the first and second longitudinal elements as the probe is inserted into a cannulation of the intramedullary nail. La presente descripción describe composiciones para el cuidado de telas para proporcionar repelencia a las manchas mejorada. La composición para el cuidado de telas incluye una mezcla que incluye un fluido hidrofóbico, un material particulado y un auxiliar de deposición polimérico/oligomérico catiónico o anfotérico. Se describen, además, métodos para proporcionar repelencia a las manchas mejoradas para un textil mediante el tratamiento del textil con la composición para el cuidado de telas.
