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 surgical access attachment for use with a surgical access device is disclosed. The surgical access attachment includes a ring and an access portion assembly. The ring is configured to engage a proximal portion of a surgical access device. The access portion assembly includes at least one flexible tab having an engagement structure. The engagement structure is configured to selectively engage the ring. The access portion assembly is configured to retain a seal. The access portion assembly is configured to disengage from the ring in response to a predetermined amount of force exerted on one flexible tab of the at least one flexible tab.

A hand-held electromechanical surgical device is configured to selectively connect with a surgical accessory. The surgical device includes a power-pack, an outer shell housing, and a gasket. The power-pack is configured to selectively control a surgical accessory. The outer shell housing includes a distal half-section and a proximal half-section, the distal half-section and the proximal half-section together defining a cavity configured to selectively encase substantially the entire power-pack therein. The gasket is located between the distal half-section and the proximal half-section of the outer shell housing. The gasket is configured to create a seal between the distal half-section and the proximal half-section and to provide a sterile barrier between the power-pack and an outside environment outside the outer shell housing.

Instrument containers for use in sterilizing, storing, transporting, and/or presenting medical instruments, such as dental and surgical instruments, are disclosed. The instrument containers may include, an instrument tray; a cover; and a plurality of openings formed in the instrument tray and cover. The instrument containers may be flexible containers, wherein the cover can be snap-fitted onto the instrument tray.

A packaging system for storing a prosthetic valve and an elongated delivery system in a non-fluid environment. The packaging system comprises a tray for securing both a prosthetic valve and an elongated delivery system. The tray includes a cavity sized and shaped to house a valve cover containing the prosthetic valve and at least part of the distal portion of the elongated delivery system. A mounting surface removably couples the valve cover to the cavity floor and to prevent the valve cover from moving. An engaging surface is disposed peripherally of the cavity and is elevated above the cavity floor. A ramp extends downwardly from the engaging surface and into the cavity through an opening defined in the peripheral side wall and adjacent the floor of the cavity. The engaging surface and ramp are configured to secure at least part of the elongated delivery system externally of the cavity.

Clinical waste container (100) comprising a lower basket part (110) and an upper lid part (120), comprising a cylindrical part (121) having an upper lid opening (122); and a lid cap part (130), arranged to be fastened to said lid part so as to cover said lid opening, wherein the lid part and the lid cap part each comprise cooperating snap-lock means (123, 133), comprising several separated elongated protrusions (133a,133b), together defining a broken circle. The lid part comprises at a lower end (124) a bend (125) of at least 60, with an inner radius (R1) of at the most 5 mm and an outer radius (R2) of at the most 5 mm, defining a local material thickness increase of at least 25%. The lid part and the lid cap part comprise at least 30% by volume wooden fibres. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a container.

A mesh sterilizing tray system and mesh tray lid for a mesh sterilizing tray. The mesh tray lid includes a substantially rectangular plate-like or grid-like basic form which defines an outer side which, when being placed on the mesh sterilizing tray, faces away from the mesh sterilizing tray. A respective detent and/or snap-in device, which is designed for receiving a rod-shaped bar positively and/or in a force-fit manner from a direction substantially perpendicular to the outer side, is formed on two opposite edge portions on the outer side of the mesh tray lid.
