A system for parking and maintaining surgical instruments within a sterile field includes, a layer of force attenuating polymer gel configured and adapted to be sterilized and attached to a structure within the sterile field and at least one or more of: a sterile surgical tray and a sterile surgical drape.

A method includes hermetically sealing a medical device within a pouch, the pouch including peeling panels that are free from one another. The pouch is placed within a tray and the peeling panels are attached to unloading handles of the tray. The unloading handles are releasably coupled together. The method further includes simultaneously separating the unloading handles and the peeling panels to open the pouch and expose the medical device for removal thereof.

A disposable base cover includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a top wall and a peripheral side wall extending orthogonally therefrom. The first portion also includes a side edge with a first fastening feature. The second portion includes a top wall and a peripheral side wall extending generally orthogonally therefrom. The second portion also includes an equipment zone that provides visual indicia of equipment zone bounds. The second portion includes a side edge with a second fastening feature that is complementary to the first fastening feature. The disposable base cover is configured for engagement with a base of a surgical table having rollers to provide mobility to the surgical table.

The present invention is directed at methods of preventing damages of a sterilization wrap for surgical instruments by utilizing tray belts. The tray belts are composed of an elongate member of substantially same width and a fastening means for connecting the two ends of the member. The methods comprise the steps of placing surgical instruments inside a sterilization tray, securely the tray belts around the tray, and wrapping a sterile wrap around the tray to form a sterilization pack. The methods may further comprise securing additional tray belts around the sterilization pack.

A bag (200) includes an elongated bag body (201). The elongated bag body can define two opposing ends, namely an openable end (202) and a closed end (203). An adhesive strip (308) can be disposed upon an exterior of the elongated bag body. The adhesive strip can be disposed in a horizontal orientation parallel to the openable end. A flexible strip (208) can be disposed upon the exterior of the elongated bag body. The flexible strip can be bendable to retain the openable end in an open position (601). The bag is suitable for use as a suture collection bag.

A modular workspace platform system for providing a mobile work surface for a user includes a workspace platform attachable to a location specified by the user. The workspace platform includes a compact work surface for use in performing at least one manual task including temporarily storing a material, mixing two or more materials, temporarily supporting a tool, and providing a tool cleaning surface. In an embodiment, the compact work surface includes at least one of a trough, a tapered channel, a tool insertion slot, a wipe holder, a textured surface configured as the tool cleaning surface, a mixing surface a ruler holder, and a matrix ring holder.

A packaged bioprosthetic heart valve comprising a bioprosthetic heart valve, an adaptive seal and a package. The bioprosthetic heart valve comprises an at least partially dehydrated biological tissue leaflet structure coupled to a supporting frame. The bioprosthetic heart valve has a periphery, an inflow portion, and an outflow portion. The adaptive seal is coupled to the bioprosthetic heart valve around at least a portion of the periphery. The adaptive seal comprises an expandable material that expands after exposure to an initiating condition. The bioprosthetic heart valve and the adaptive seal is stored and contained within the package, which does not contain a liquid storage solution in contact with the bioprosthetic heart valve and the adaptive seal.

A medical kit 100 includes a drape 1323. A plurality of pockets (1302,1303,1304,1305, 1306,1307) are disposed along a bottom edge of the drape 1323 in a linear, side-by-side arrangement. A plurality of medical implements (1310,1311,1312,1313,1314,1315) are stowed in the plurality of pockets on a one-to-one basis. Medical indicia (1316,1317,1318,1319,1320,1321) is disposed along each pocket. The medical indicia can include comprising one or more educational prompts that instruct medical personnel how to use a particular medical implement disposed in a pocket to complete a central catheter dressing change.

Various implementations include a device for holding and supporting a medical instrument in a position. For example, the medical instrument may include a percutaneous procedure apparatus, such as a needle (e.g., biopsy needle, anesthesia needle) or needle holder. In some implementations, the device holds and supports the percutaneous procedure apparatus and liberates the procedure operator's hands from direct beam exposure, which lowers the risk of complications and radiation exposure to patients and procedure operators. The device also increases the effectiveness of the procedure by holding and supporting the apparatus in the intended position.

A package (10a) for containing a medical device (12a), comprising: a front sheet (14a) and a back sheet (15a) wherein each includes a top edge (18a, 23a), a bottom edge (19a) and opposed first (20a, 24a) and second side edges (21a, 25a), the sheets being sealed to each other by a peelable peripheral seal (26a), having a top seal zone (27a), bottom seal zone (28a), and opposed first (29a) and second side seal zones (30a), the sheets being separated to open the package by at least partially peeling the sheets apart along the first and second side seal zones; a first peel-stop (31a) located in the first side seal zone and a second peel-stop (32a) located in the second side seal zone of the peripheral seal, wherein the first and second peel-stops limit peeling of the first and second side seal zones of the peripheral seal.
