| 20150297295 | INSTRUMENT ORGANIZATION SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Organization systems for surgical instruments and associated methods and systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a surgical instrument organization system can be configured for use in a medical environment, and can include a flexible, sterile container having a lower portion. The container can include an attachment system configured to elastically couple one or more surgical instruments to the lower portion of the container. In some embodiments, the container can be carried by a portable base coupled to a platform via an adjustable support member. | 10-22-2015 |
| 20150297296 | PACKAGING ASSEMBLY FOR DRUG DELIVERY DEVICES - A packaging assembly to accommodate at least two drug delivery devices is presented having an inner packaging to accommodate a first drug delivery device, and an outer packaging to accommodate a second drug delivery device and to accommodate the inner packaging. | 10-22-2015 |
| 20160015457 | Multi-Mode Storage Apparatus - The invention is a new horizontal syringe storage system for larger syringes which provides a high degree of product safety, storage and accessibility. The horizontal syringe storage system defines offset scallops to provide for tray nesting when stacked in a similar direction and for tray stacking when an upper tray is rotated 180° relative to a lower tray. In use, the upper trays do not touch product in a lower tray. For one embodiment, the syringe storage system comprises raised nubs for vertical alignment between stacked trays. Such raised nubs of a lower tray operably cooperative with the scallop pockets of an overhead tray. This simple feature aligns trays on two axes and limits tray slippage, essentially offering unlimited syringe tray stacking. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160015959 | Carrier Assembly with Caps for Medical Connectors - An assembly for mounting medical connector caps includes a carrier formed from a sheet of material and having an array of holes. The assembly also includes a plurality of medical connector caps. Each cap is inserted into one of the holes of the array. The assembly also includes a plurality of sealing tabs. The tabs may be retained on the carrier by friction fit into the holes of the carrier. The carrier may also include a mounting hole to hang on a pole of an IV line. | 01-21-2016 |
| 20160022853 | POST-STEAM STERILIZATION MOISTURE-INDICATING ARTICLES - Post-steam sterilization wet pack indicators are described. The indicators generally comprise a moisture-impermeable layer having a first surface and a moisture-indicating layer comprising a reversible colorimetric steam-sterilization-compatible moisture-indicating medium. The moisture-indicating layer is disposed on or near the first surface of the moisture-impermeable layer. The area of the moisture-indicating layer is dimensionally smaller than the moisture-impermeable layer such that the edges of the moisture-impermeable layer extend beyond the edges of the moisture-indicating layer. Articles and packages comprising wet pack indicators are also described. | 01-28-2016 |
| 20160100890 | ORGANIZER FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND ITEMS USED DURING SURGERY - An organizer for holding surgical instruments includes a tray that has instrument wells extending from the top surface of the tray. The shape of each instrument well corresponds to particular surgical instrument's shapes. Each well's depth corresponds to the height of a particular stack of surgical instruments. Pivoting locking bars extend over each instrument well to a locked position and prevent adding or removing any instruments. When the bar extends over the instrument well, it rests against the top-most instrument if the well is full. If any instruments are missing from their well, part of the locking bar projects above the tray's surface. Thus, one can notice quickly whether all instrument wells are full. The locking bar also may pivot over the instruments. The tray may have a plunger that projects about the tray's top surface if any surgical tools have not been returned to the tray. | 04-14-2016 |
| 20160100891 | ORGANIZER FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS AND ITEMS USED DURING SURGERY - An organizer for holding surgical instruments includes a tray that has instrument wells extending from the top surface of the tray. The instrument wells may be open to allow high-pressure steam to reach the instruments in the wells. The organizer has two sections. The first section contains sterile instruments to be used during surgery, and the second section contains empty instrument wells, each of which has a shape and depth corresponding to the shape and depth of an instrument well in the first section. After instruments are removed from the first section and used during surgery, they are returned to the corresponding instrument well in the second section. After surgery, an instrument is missing unless all the instrument wells in the second section are full. Structure may be associated with the instrument wells to indicate that an instrument well is not full. | 04-14-2016 |
| 20160135897 | Surgical Instrument Organizer - This is a surgical instrument organizational device for use during medical procedures where instruments are being used. This invention is designed to hold numerous instruments upright and easily accessible. The length of the base ( | 05-19-2016 |
| 20160144118 | Disinfecting Cap for Medical Connectors - A disinfecting cap accepts a needleless injection site to apply an antiseptic agent. The cap includes a breakable seal located in a chamber between the proximal and distal portions so as to be spaced away from the opening. The cap body may include a compliant wall that deforms when a needleless injection site is inserted into the opening to removably hold the cap on the needleless injection site. In lieu of a compliant wall, a flexible skirt may extend from the cap body into the proximal portion, so that when a needleless injection site is inserted into the opening, the flexible skirt engages the outer diameter of the needleless injection site to removably hold the cap on the needleless injection site. A carrier strip may be used, wherein each of the plurality of disinfecting caps is removably attached at its proximal end to the carrier strip. | 05-26-2016 |
| 20160374773 | SHARPS END CAPTURE DEVICE AND METHOD - A sharps end capture device is disclosed for use in a system and method for the safe disposal and/or temporary storage of sharp-tipped implements including medical sharps, such as, syringe needles (epidural, spinal, blood collection, catheter, dialysis, intravenous, ophthalmic, hormonal pen, and radiologic). The device is useful to prevent injuries related to the use and disposal of sharp medical instruments, commonly known as, “sharps” or “sharps objects” is disclosed. | 12-29-2016 |
