Emergency Medication Dose Device to Provide Error-Free Pediatric Medication Doses.
20170367930 · 2017-12-28 ·

This invention provides a means by which correct dosages of emergency medication can be provided to children under emergency situations. A color- and size-coded set of cylinders is provided where the colors match the color codes of the Broselow® Pediatric Emergency Tape, a common method by which the proper dosage for child is estimated based on the child's height. Each type of medication in the emergency kit has its own color-coded set of cylinders, such that once emergency medical personnel measure the child and determine which medication to use, all they need to do is grab the correct cylinder based on the color (which has already been determined from the Broselow® measurement). The invention allows emergency medical personnel to safely, efficiently, quickly, and accurately deliver the correct dosage of one or more medications to a child under emergency conditions.

ORAL CARE SYSTEM

An oral care tray that includes a top surface, a first compartment having a first bottom surface spaced from the top surface at a first vertical distance, and a second compartment having a second bottom surface spaced from the top surface at a second vertical distance. The oral care tray also includes a divider separating the first compartment and the second compartment thereby forming a first sidewall in the first compartment and a second sidewall in the second compartment, where the divider extends from the first bottom surface and the second bottom surface toward the top surface.

Surgical system sterile drape

A drape includes a first drape portion configured to receive a manipulator arm of a surgical system and a pocket coupled to a distal portion of the first drape portion. The pocket is configured to receive a manipulator of the surgical system. The pocket includes a flexible membrane positionable between an output of the manipulator and an input of a surgical instrument mountable to the manipulator. In some embodiments, the flexible membrane is located at a distal end of the pocket. In some embodiments, the flexible membrane is configured to allow an actuating force to be transmitted from the output of the manipulator to the input of the surgical instrument. In some embodiments, the pocket provides a sterile barrier between the manipulator and the surgical instrument. In some embodiments, the drape further includes a rotatable seal configured to couple a proximal opening of the pocket to the first drape portion.
