A medical instrument of the present invention includes a hydrophilic processed portion on at least a portion of an outer surface of the instrument. The hydrophilic processed portion contains a hydrophilic polymer and an antibacterial agent, and a water contact angle of a surface of the hydrophilic processed portion is equal to or smaller than 30. Provided that a silver content per unit area in the hydrophilic processed portion is P, and a silver ion amount per unit area measured by an extraction test described below is Q, P and Q satisfy the relationships of Formula (1) and Formula (2) shown below. Accordingly, the medical instrument has excellent antifogging properties and antibacterial properties and excellently retains the antibacterial properties.

6.0P/QFormula (1)

15.0QFormula (2)

The unit of P is ng/cm.sup.2, and the unit of Q is ng/cm.sup.2.

Kits carrying various components and devices are provided for use in obtaining access to a patient's vascular system. Various methods and procedures may be used to treat both emergency and more routine conditions using the contents of such kits. For example, such kits may contain various types of intraosseous (IO) devices including, but not limited to, drivers, penetrator assemblies, IO needles and other related components. Intravenous (IV) devices such as syringes, needles, IV bags, tubing and other related components for use in obtaining access to portions of a patient's vascular system may be included. Various types of connectors for communicating fluids with and/or monitoring a patient's vascular system may be provided. Such kits may contain medications, drugs and fluids used to treat a wide variety of both acute and chronic diseases and conditions.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a medical kit, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing a medical kit for cleaning endoscopes. In some aspects, a medical kit may comprise an outer bag capable of being vacuum sealed, at least one inner bag contained within the outer bag, at least one solution container comprising a solution contained within the outer bag, at least one absorbent pad contained within the outer bag, and/or the like. The air from the outer bag may be evacuated to form a vacuum seal surrounding the at least one inner bag, the at least one solution container, and the at least one absorbent pad. In an additional aspect, the medical kit may comprise an absorbent pad and solution contained within a bag capable of being vacuum sealed. In yet another aspect, a dispenser may be implemented to dispense medical kits.
