Disclosed is an equipment for receiving surgical materials and/or liquid products for a surgical procedure. The equipment includes: a tray with a top face; and a tight surface film intended to be removably attached to the top face of the tray in order to form a sterile upper surface that is intended to receive the surgical materials and/or liquid products. The top face of the tray includes at least one recess, and the tight surface film, attached to the tray, forms at least one pocket extending inside the at least one recess and adapted to receive at least one of the surgical materials and/or liquid products.

A medical package containing a medical article, including: a support element comprising a hollow support tube and a support cap, wherein the support element includes a first chamber configured to enclose the medical article and wherein the support cap includes a support structure configured to hold the medical article captive; a stopper configured to be coupled to the hollow support tube in such a way that the support element has a grip part that protrudes from the stopper, the grip part of the support element configured to be held by a hand of a person; a hollow protective cover configured to be coupled to the stopper in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with the stopper, a second chamber inside which there extends the grip part of the support element, the hollow protective cover configured to be separated from the stopper, wherein when the hollow protective cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper protrudes from the hollow protective cover, and is configured to form a grip end of the stopper that is configured to be held by a hand of a person, when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, wherein a part of the support element is configured to be engaged by force inside the stopper, and when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, the support element remains coupled to the stopper while the support element is also separable from the stopper when a person holds the grip part of the support element and pulls the support element so as to separate it from the stopper.

A surgical drape for providing a localized instrument sterility barrier includes: a tube having a proximal end and a distal end, the tube defining an interior bore sized to receive an elongated shaft of a surgical instrument; and a port coupler at the distal end of the tube, the port coupler configured to couple the distal end of the tube to a surgical port through which the elongated shaft extends. The tube is collapsible to accommodate relative movement between the instrument and the surgical port during a surgical procedure.

A packaging assembly may retain a sterile medical device for use in a surgical setting, such as an orthopedic implant or instrument. The packaging assembly may have a first packaging component and a second packaging component. The first packaging component and the second packaging component may be attachable to each other to define a first interior space containing the medical device. The first packaging component may have a first retention feature that defines a first interior receptacle shaped to receive at least part of the medical device such that a user can manually grip the medical device through the first retention feature. The first interior space may be manually opened by a user grasping the medical device through the first retention feature.

The disclosure relates to an assembly for storing, dispensing, disposing, and shipping medical products such as sharps or pharmaceuticals. The assembly includes an outer container, an inner container, a unit configured for storing and dispensing unused medical products such as sharps or pharmaceuticals, and for receiving used medical sharps or unused pharmaceuticals. The inner container is adapted to receive the unit, and the outer container is adapted to receive the inner container.

A hand-held electromechanical surgical device is configured to selectively connect with a surgical accessory. The surgical device includes a power-pack, an outer shell housing, and a gasket. The power-pack is configured to selectively control a surgical accessory. The outer shell housing includes a distal half-section and a proximal half-section, the distal half-section and the proximal half-section together defining a cavity configured to selectively encase substantially the entire power-pack therein. The gasket is located between the distal half-section and the proximal half-section of the outer shell housing. The gasket is configured to create a seal between the distal half-section and the proximal half-section and to provide a sterile barrier between the power-pack and an outside environment outside the outer shell housing.

The invention relates to a medical assembly, preferably a sterilized one, comprising a medical article (5) and a package containing said article, said package comprising a hollow support element (2) inside which said article (5) is free, a first protective element (3), called a stopper, which can be coupled to the support element (2) of said article, such that the support element (2) has a grip part (20) that protrudes from said stopper (3), and a second hollow protective element (4), called a cover. Said cover can be coupled to the stopper (3) in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with said stopper (3), a chamber (8) inside which there extends said grip part (20) of the support element, and, in the state when the cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper (3) protrudes from the cover (4).

The gasket is configured to create a seal between the distal half-section and the proximal half-section and to provide a sterile barrier between the power-pack and an outside environment outside the outer shell housing.

A bone plate system and method for implanting the bone plate. The bone plate may include a head portion and a shaft portion, the shaft portion having a longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of discrete aperture clusters. Each aperture cluster may include a non-threaded, non-locking bone fastener aperture configured to provide a polyaxial compressive construct and at least one threaded, locking bone fastener aperture. Once aligned with the bone, a first bone fastener is inserted into the bone through at least one of the non-threaded apertures in a direction normal to the longitudinal axis, compressing the bone along the longitudinal axis of the shaft portion of the bone plate. A second bone fastener is inserted into the bone through at least one of the threaded, locking bone fastener apertures in a direction oblique to the longitudinal axis and securing the bone plate to the bone.
