Catheter Tray, Packaging System, Instruction Insert, and Associated Methods
A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. Printed instructions (1001) can be included with the tray (100). One or more layers of wrap material (2200) can be folded about the tray (100) to enclose the tray (100) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material (2701), packaged liquid hand sanitizer (2401), and packaged gloves (2402). When a health care services provider (3101) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient (3201).

A buttress is applied to an end effector of a surgical stapler. The buttress is loaded on a platform of a buttress applier cartridge. The end effector is closed upon the platform. An adhesive layer of the buttress secures the buttress to the end effector. The buttress is thus adhered to the end effector when the end effector is opened. The end effector is then actuated on tissue of a patient, thereby stapling the buttress to the tissue.

MEDICATION DELIVERY, DOSING AND SAFETY DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND KITS
A product comprising a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment has first walls that define a reservoir. The first compartment includes a first lid enclosing a medicament within the reservoir. The second compartment has second walls that define a cavity. The second compartment includes a second lid enclosing a glove within the cavity. The first compartment and the second compartment are coupled together with the reservoir and the cavity separated and sealed from one another. The first walls of the first compartment and the second walls of the second compartment are semi-rigid or rigid.
