A transport device to removably receive a medical waste container for transport of the medical waste container includes a body having a base wall with at least one opening for receiving a medical waste container. A portion of the base wall defining the at least one opening is configured to engage and completely surround an exterior of the medical waste container. The body further includes a side wall extending from the base wall, the base wall and side wall together defining a cavity. A cover is movably coupled to the side wall and is movable between a closed position, in which the cover cooperates with the side wall to close a top of the cavity, and an open position, in which the cavity is open at the top.

A system and method for performing a package status check are provided, including a scanner for use in a surgical field and having an antenna for emitting a radio frequency detection field, the scanner including control circuitry configured to determine a predetermined quantity of sponges corresponding to a complete pack of sponges; count a number of sponges associated with the pack with the scanner prior to use of the sponges in a surgical field; and issue an alert when a number of counted sponges does not match the predetermined quantity corresponding to the complete pack. The system and method may include the control circuitry configured to determine whether a sponge has been re-scanned or is unknown by comparing detected information with previously detected information prior.

A moisture tight container includes a container body and a lid preferably linked to the body by a hinge. The body and lid include at least a first seal and a second seal in series to provide a moisture tight seal between the body and the lid. The first seal includes mating of thermoplastic-to-thermoplastic sealing surfaces of the body and lid respectively. The second seal includes mating of thermoplastic-to-elastomeric sealing surfaces of the body and lid, respectively, or of the lid and body, respectively.

The invention relates to a device for packaging an object, comprising: a main hollow body (100), a closure element (101), and a support (110) housed inside the main hollow body (100), said support being configured to receive an object (150), such as a medical implant. The support comprises a seat having an axial through-hole designed to allow part (170) of the object (150) to extend below the seat, while another part (160) of the object (150) bears on the seat. The packaging device is configured to limit or block the rotation of the support (110) relative to the main hollow body (100) about the axis of the through-hole in the seat. The support (110) is designed to limit or block the rotation of at least part of the object (150) about said axis, whereby the object (150) can move freely out of the main hollow body (100) when the closure element (101) is open. The invention also relates to a corresponding extraction method.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.

A sharps container includes a container portion and a closeable lid. The sharps container includes any suitable cross-sectional shape having at least one wall. The container portion is fabricated from a light translucent or transparent material, such that any suitable light may be shined through the at least one wall thereof. An upper perimeter of the container portion is treated, such that light will not shine through an upper twenty five percent of the container by volume. An opaque tape, an opaque paint, an opaque printing ink or any other suitable treatment is applied to an upper perimeter of the container portion to prevent light from passing through the container portion. At least one wall of the container is treated.

A system for dispensing sterile covers for a stethoscope or other medical device, including a container including elongated members positioned in the container, terminating at tips proximate one end of the container; one or more collapsed pouches positioned inside the container, each pouch having open and closed ends and retainers, each retainer adapted to receive a corresponding elongated member, the collapsed pouches being supported on the elongated members; each pouch comprising a tab positioned proximate the open end for being grasped and pulled in a direction away and downwards from the elongated members, the open end forming an open position defined by the retainers and the tab for receiving a head of the stethoscope inside the pouch while the retainers remain engaged with the elongated members; after use, the pouch is removable from the stethoscope without a user contacting a patient contacting region of the cover.

A pen needle magazine (10) comprising a plurality of compartments (14) each carrying a pen needle (40) with an inner thread (44) and an outer thread (46), and an inner shield (80) including an inner thread (82), the inner shield (80) being disposed in each of the plurality of compartments (14), wherein the inner thread (82) of the inner shield (80) is configured to engage the outer thread (46) of the pen needle (40), and the inner thread (44) and the outer thread (46) of the pen needle (40) are threaded in different directions.

A disinfection system includes a disinfection chamber and a disinfection device. The disinfection chamber has an interior volume, a plurality of radiation sources, which, when enabled, output a disinfecting radiation, at least one disinfection chamber registration feature, and a disinfection chamber controller arranged to perform a disinfection process via enablement of the plurality of radiation sources. The disinfection tray device has a UV-transparent tray structure, the UV-transparent tray structure having a multi-compartment receptacle shaped to align and contain a certain type of target article to be disinfected.

A spinal implant package includes a sleeve defining a cavity extending through an end surface of the sleeve. A cap defines an aperture extending through an end surface of the cap. First portions of the end surfaces are joined to define a hinge. The end surface of the sleeve includes a second portion defining a first lip. The end surface of the cap includes a second portion defining a second lip. The package is movable between a closed configuration in which the first lip is adjacent the second lip and a portion of the spinal implant is enclosed within the cavity and the aperture, and an open configuration in which the first lip is spaced farther apart from the second lip and the portion of the spinal implant is positioned outside of the aperture while remaining positioned inside of the cavity.
