Medical containers are provided, wherein the containers may be used to transport medical devices. The medical container can include a front panel, a rear panel, and a lower panel cooperating to form a cavity. The lower panel may include an absorbent material. The medical container may also include one or more absorbent band members disposed around at least a portion of the circumference of the cavity. An insert portion including a front panel, a rear panel, and a lower panel may be coupled to or disposed within the medical container. The insert portion may be formed from an absorbent material. Methods of using the medical containers are also provided.

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.

A medical bag comprises a flexible shell and having opening and a zip fastener for closing the opening. The zip fastener includes two sliders arranged to close the zip from opposing ends in a direction towards each other along the length of the zip fastener. The sliders are movable between an open configuration in which they are located at opposing ends of the zip fastener and a closed configuration in which they are located at a stop position at the centre of the zip fastener. The bag further includes a pair of positioned at a common location along the length of the zip coincident with the stop position of the sliders. The handles are located on opposing sides of the zip fastener and are arranged to enable a person to impart forces in opposing directions away from the zip transverse to the length of the zip to open the zip when the zip is closed with the sliders located at the stop position to enable the bag to be ripped open in a very rapid manner to access the medical equipment in time critical situations.

An orbital temperature treatment kit has a new container base, hinged cover and handle. An inner partition in the base is a mount for electrical features and a heat exchanger with transfer fins and a heat sink. The inner partition has recesses for temperature change of pods held in spaces between parallel fins. The frame for holding the pods in place for treatment has two large lenses, a nose piece joining the lenses and hinged temples. The lenses support slotted receivers with fasteners that engage fasteners on tabs attached to the pods.
