"What Is This Thing?" Running Thread

It is manufactured by Biomet. I don't see it listed on their site, but there are many listings for Biomat products on eBay that are clearly identical to what you have (or rather, I see listings for parts of what you have here). They can help you identify it if you contact them:

http://www.biomet.com/

But be aware that, if I'm reading those other eBay listings right, there may be restrictions by the FDA regarding who can sell these items. I suspect that's just boilerplate disclaimer that someone started posting and everyone else started copying, but I saw the same message on many listings from many sellers, all within the Medical Instruments category. But I figured I should mention it just in case.
 
That last item looks similar to some medical products a company I worked for made. They are use to set and put tension on pins and rods. The pins or rods would be in the smaller clamps. That one looks like it would be for along a joint such as an elbow.
The parts should be made of surgical grade titanium.
 
Certainly is rigid!
Might make a great indicator holder. That's what I thought in might be for.
I'm certainly not going to get into the joint replacement business.
Looks like it might be difficult to market.

Thanks for the feedback!

This one has me puzzled. It was in one of the boxes of change gears and/or tooling that came with my lathe.

Reminds me of a hypodermic needle, but on an alarming scale.
