A package for a medical device includes a tray with a top surface, a bottom surface, a proximal end, a distal end, and first and second lateral sides that extend between the proximal and distal ends. The package has a retainer sleeve wrapped around the tray, the retainer sleeve including a top panel covering the top surface of the tray, a bottom panel covering the bottom surface of the tray, and a connecting panel extending between the top and bottom panels and covering one of the first and second lateral sides of the tray. The top panel of the retaining sleeve includes a proximal edge, a distal edge, an outer edge, a cut that extends inwardly from the outer edge, and an extended tab that extends along the outer edge of the top panel and distally beyond the cut formed in the outer edge of the top panel. The extended tab is tucked under the connecting panel and disposed between the connecting panel and one of the first and second lateral sides of the tray covered by the connecting panel. A retainer lid covers the distal end of the top panel of the retainer sleeve and is connected with the distal end of the tray for securing the distal end of the retainer sleeve to the tray.

A mobile cart that holds a bag for receiving solid waste generated during a medical or surgical procedure. The cart includes a sensor that monitors whether or not an object containing metal is placed in the bag. A processor monitors the signal output by the sensor. If the sensor signal indicates that an object with a minimal amount of metal is placed in the bag, the processor momentarily asserts an audible alarm and continuously asserts a light alarm. The light alarm remains asserted until turned off. If, while the light alarm is on, the sensor signal indicates a second object with the minimal amount of waste is placed in the container, the processor again momentarily asserts the audible alarm. This provides notice that it may be necessary to investigate the contents of the bag to determine if not one but two or more objects were inadvertently discarded.

A storage device for carrying medical equipment having an outer shell that is reconfigurable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The outer shell includes first and second side panels and a fastener is provided for holding the outer shell in the closed configuration. A first support panel has support elements on its inner and outer surfaces for securing medical equipment to the first support panel. In a first configuration the first support panel covers the inner surface of the first side panel and the outer surface of the first support panel is outwardly facing and accessible and the first support panel is pivotable to a second configuration in which the inner surface of the first side panel is uncovered and both the inner surface of the first side panel and the inner surface of the first support panel are outwardly facing and accessible. A second support panel including support elements is secured within the outer shell such that in a first configuration the second support panel covers the inner surface of the second side panel and the outer surface of the second support panel is outwardly facing and accessible, and is pivotable to a second configuration in which the inner surface of the second side panel is uncovered and both the inner surface of the second side panel and the inner surface of the second support panel are outwardly facing and accessible.

A foldable sleeve for retaining a surgical instrument is presented. The foldable sleeve includes a first panel having a first set of lock tabs, a second panel hingedly connected to the first panel, the second panel having a first pair of openings and a second pair of openings, and a third panel hingedly connected to the second panel, the third panel having a second set of lock tabs. The first panel and the third panel are each selectively movable over a portion of the second panel to retain the surgical instrument within the foldable sleeve.

A temperature controlled case to store and manage the time-sensitive management of personal eye drops or similar medicine. The case may include a first row of dispenser holding compartments for holding dispensers for the drops ‘to be taken’ and a second row of dispenser holding compartments for holding the dispensers for the drops ‘already taken’. A clock timer to manage the required time intervals during which the drops must be taken may also be included. The case may include side compartments for holding other items (e.g., cotton balls, cotton swabs) that are typically required when a person uses eye drops.

A method of operating a surgical assembly is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first input from a first RFID scanner indicative of a first information stored in a first RFID chip of a first modular component of the surgical assembly, receiving a second input from a second RFID scanner indicative of a second information stored in a second RFID chip of a second modular component of the surgical assembly, determining an operational parameter of a motor of the surgical assembly based on the first input and the second input, and causing the motor to effect a tissue treatment motion of the first modular component.

Medical devices, medical procedure trays, kits and related methods are provided for use to perform medical procedures that require access to the interior of a bone. The devices, trays and methods allow multiple use of non-sterile medical devices with sterile medical devices for performing medical procedures requiring sterile conditions.

A system and related methods of preventing wrong-site surgeries and blade-related injuries to OR personnel, that includes a computer software system in combination with an electronic device. The system is configured to (a) receive surgical planning data that is related to a surgical procedure associated with a patient, including one or more audio files, (b) play the recorded audio files at a later time, and (c) provide, on a display screen, an interactive presentation that indicates (i) instructions to conduct an electronically-recorded “time-out” to confirm various details before starting the intended surgical procedure, and (ii) upon receiving indication of a successfully completed “time-out”, displaying a notification that the verification has been recorded in the electronic profile. Data can be captured throughout the medical environment (from “decision-to-incision” and beyond) to assess wrong-site surgery data (including “near miss” data) and enable a host of analytics on wrong-site surgery prevention.

Methods and systems are disclosed including a light system comprising a pad assembly comprising: a pad having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side having an adhesive thereon; and a post with a proximal end connected to the second side of the pad and extending to a rounded distal end; and a light assembly attachable to and rotatable about the rounded distal end of the post of the pad assembly, the light assembly comprising: a case having an opening, the opening structured to rotatably accept the rounded distal end of the post of the pad assembly; one or more light emitting diode at least partially within the case and positioned to illuminate an area outside of the case.

Packaging systems and surgical kits for a tool that has a cutting bur and a shaft. A casing includes a distal section defining a cavity to receive the cutting bur of the tool. A proximal section is coupled to the distal section and receives the shaft of the tool. The proximal section is detachable from the distal section. At least a portion of the distal section comprises a colored indicator to provide a visual indication of a location of the cutting bur of the tool. Instructions are provided on the proximal section and the instructions illustrate one or more steps for installing the tool to a surgical device.
