A preheating device for endoscopy includes a flexible bag, a plurality of first welded joint, and a mark member. The flexible bag is disposed with a saturated sodium acetate solution and a trigger. The flexible bag includes a closed circumference around the outer periphery thereof. The closed circumference includes a longer side and a shorter side next to each other. The plurality of the first welded joint is arranged into a folding line along a longitudinal direction, wherein every two adjacent first welded joints of the folding line forms a flowing space. The folding line is substantially parallel to the longer side. The first welded joint nearest to the shorter side is the last first welded joint, and the mark member is disposed on the flexible bag between the last first welded joint and the shorter side. The mark member is used for indicating a placement of an endoscopy.

A container system and a method for forming a knob in a container. The container system includes a container, in particular a medical or surgical sterile container preferably having a tub-like container vessel and/or a container cover; at least one separate coupling element; and at least one coupling system for releasably connecting the coupling element to the container. The coupling system includes a male coupling portion formed on the container and a female coupling portion formed on the coupling element. The coupling portions can be coupled to and uncoupled from one another. The male coupling portion is integrally formed in a wall of the container and is designed as a protruding knob having an undercut.

A method for mounting a tool to a surgical device using a packaging body. A proximal section of the packaging body is articulated about a second boundary relative to a first distal section of the packaging body for removing a proximal end of the tool from a proximal cavity for exposing the proximal end. The proximal end is mounted to the surgical device while a distal end of the tool remains securely retained by first and second distal sections of the packaging body within a distal cavity. After mounting, the distal end is released from the distal cavity by articulating one distal section relative to the other distal section for exposing a first portion of the distal end that was retained by the one distal section. Thereafter, the other distal section is removed for exposing a remaining portion of the distal end that was retained by the other distal section.

A packaging body for use with an elongated tool that includes a distal cutting bur, a first shaft portion proximal to the distal cutting bur, and a second shaft portion extending from the first shaft portion. The packaging body has a distal casing with first and second distal sections. The distal sections each have a distal cavity being shaped to conform to the distal cutting bur and the first shaft portion. The distal sections are configured to couple to one another to collectively encase the distal cutting bur and the first shaft portion within the distal cavities. The packaging body includes a proximal section with a proximal cavity that is elongated and sized to receive the second shaft portion. A packaged tool assembly can include the packaging body that houses the elongated tool or a sealed pouch that includes the packaging body and the elongated tool disposed therein.

A medical device packaging system for securing a sterile medical device, having controlled sterile and non-sterile zones, and features for controlling and maintaining said zones that allow medical personnel to perform a simple and efficient transfer of a non-sterile battery into a sterile powered medical device without compromising the device sterility in a sterile field.

A syringe assembly includes (1) a syringe barrel defining a chamber; (2) a plunger mounted in the chamber and moveable with respect to the barrel; and (3) a cap assembly containing a cap and an absorbent material is removably attached to the plunger. A strip package includes at least two cap assemblies. Each of the cap assemblies includes a cap holder and an antiseptic cap positioned in the cap holder. The antiseptic cap includes a sidewall defining a chamber and an antiseptic substance within the chamber. A strip extends over at least two cap assemblies. The strip includes a first seal engaged to the cap holder and a second seal engaged to the antiseptic cap.

Resilient expandable packaging (1, 20) for small-part items (17) in the medical field, consisting of a packaging body (1, 20) open on one side with a packaging space (25, 25) closed at the bottom, which merges into a resiliently expandable closure part (6) on its upper side, wherein in the transition region between the closure part (6) and the packaging space (25, 25) one or more locking knobs (11, 12) are arranged, which form a resiliently expandable closure gap (13, 13) therebetween.

Resilient expandable individual packaging (1, 20) for elongated items (17), consisting of a packaging body (1, 20) open on one side with a packaging space (25, 25) closed at the bottom, which merges into a resiliently expandable closure part (6) on its upper side, wherein in the transition region between the closure part (6) and the packaging space (25, 25) one or more locking knobs (11, 12) are arranged, which form a resiliently expandable closure gap (13, 13) therebetween.

An apparatus includes a plurality of beads. Each bead includes a housing and a magnet positioned within the housing. The apparatus also includes a plurality of interconnection elements. Each interconnection element movably joins together a corresponding pair of beads. The plurality of beads and the plurality of interconnection elements are sized and configured to form an expandable loop around an anatomical structure in a patient. The apparatus further includes a decoupling element. The decoupling element is positioned along the loop and is configured to selectively release a first portion of the loop from a second portion of the loop in response to application of a threshold force to the at least one decoupling element in a circumferential direction relative to the loop.
