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 lid (100) for a container (1901) includes a first sliding door (102) and a second sliding door (103). A lid body (101) has a container engaging section (104) and an interior section (103) having a sliding surface (120) and a sharps disposal aperture (119). The second sliding door interlocks between the sliding surface and the first sliding door. The first sliding door and the second sliding door are selectively slidable between: an open position (1100) with a minor protuberance (124) and the major protuberance (125) disposed beneath the second sliding door; a partially closed position (1500) with an edge (701) of the second sliding door disposed between the minor protuberance and the major protuberance; and a closed position (1700) with the major protuberance disposed between the edge of the second sliding door and the minor protuberance.

An implant container for accommodating one or more bone plate implants has a base having a receiving structure configured to receive at least one bone plate implant so that the bone plate implant is held in a defined relationship relative to the base. A lid of the implant container has an opening and is movable relative to the base from a first position to at least a second position. In the first position the lid covers the receiving structure at least partially so as to prevent implant removal, whereas in the second position the lid provides access to the receiving structure via the opening so as to permit implant removal.

A container for dispensing and disposing supplies is disclosed. The container includes a receptacle having a base and a plurality of walls extended up from the base; one or more compartments formed in the receptacle, wherein the one or more compartments is configured to be fluid-tightly sealed from each other; and one or more insert members, each configured to convert one of the one or more compartments from exclusively dispensing unused supplies to exclusively receiving used supplies.

A clean medical device case is described herein, which includes embodiments for use both inside and outside traditional hospital settings. The clean medical device case includes an insert, lid, and locking mechanism. The insert is formed to receive a medical device and the case keeps the medical device sterile for storage and safe for transit. Wiping and soaking methods for cleaning the clean medical device case are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a device for receiving and handling specific medical waste products to be stored in a safe container (10; 100), comprising a receiving mechanism (14; 126) arranged with a compartment (48; 131) for receiving a medicament container, which compartment (48; 131) is operably arranged to be moved from a first position wherein a medical waste product may be entered into said compartment to a second position wherein the medical waste product is entered into the safe container (10; 100), at least one first locking element (25; 118) operably arranged to releasably lock said compartment (48; 131) from being moved to said second position, said at least one first locking element (25; 118) being configured such that a medical waste product placed in said compartment (48; 131) constitutes a keying element for unlocking said compartment (48), and a monitoring unit (60; 200) comprising a detection mechanism (64; 150, 170) capable of detecting that said compartment (48; 131) has been moved from said first position to said second position.

A surgical container has more than one surgical sponge, more than one dispensing containers containing respectively the more than one surgical sponge, and more than one disposal containers each proximate to and visually associated respectively with the more than one dispensing containers to receive a used surgical sponge, wherein a selected surgical sponge is visible in one of the dispensing container or the corresponding disposal container.

A workstation assembly that can be collapsed into a portable container. The portable container has a first section and second section that can be selectively joined and separated. A lift mechanism is provided that interconnects the first section and the second section. The lift mechanism has an extended configuration and a compressed configuration. When in its extended configuration, the lift mechanism separates the first section from the second section of the portable container by a selected distance. Conversely, when in its compressed configuration, the lift mechanism causes the first section to abut against the second section along a common seam. Wheels are connected to the portable container so that the portable container can roll. A handle is also connected to the container for pulling the container on wheels.
