Disclosed embodiments relate to a wound dressing which can generate nitric oxide. The wound dressing may include a cover layer, an activator layer such as an acid providing layer, and a nitrite providing layer. The activator layer may include acidic groups and may be hydrogel, xerogel, or other suitable material. The activator layer may include an acrylate, a dimethacrylate or an acrylamide crosslinker and may also include a antioxidant/reducing agent such as sodium iso-ascorbate. The nitrite providing layer may include a mesh saturated in aqueous sodium nitrite. Nitrite ions of the nitrite providing layer may react with the acidic groups of the activating layer to generate nitric oxide. Additionally, the wound dressing may be produced and stored so as to reduce oxygen inclusion in and exposure to the wound dressing.

Described is a package that has a plurality of medical dressings, wherein the package has a front panel, an opposing back panel and four side panels extending between the front panel and the back panel, wherein the package has a set of printed product identifying elements associated with the medical dressings in the package, wherein the set of printed product identifying elements comprises at least a first text element, preferably a brand name, and a first graphical element visualizing a medical dressing in the package, wherein the first text element and the first graphical element are disposed on the front panel and on each one of the side panels of the package.

A medical supply cabinet includes a housing; a medical supply cabinet identifying machine readable code located on the housing; and a plurality of medical supply packages, each medical supply package containing a specific medical supply. Each medical supply package includes a discarded portion created when the medical supply package is opened. The discarded portion of the medical supply package includes a medical supply package machine readable code identifying the specific medical supply associated with the medical supply package.

In aspects of bi-directional packaging adhesive, a sterile package includes a bandage with a sterile pad, and the bandage adheres to an applied surface. The sterile package includes a non-stick backing that adheres to the bandage, with the non-stick backing being removable for application of the bandage. The sterile package includes packaging that encompasses the bandage and the non-stick backing, and includes a bi-directional adhesive configured to release in a first package opening direction to remove the packaging while maintaining the adherence of the non-stick backing to the bandage, and hold in a second package opening direction to remove the non-stick backing from the bandage along with removing the packaging. A portion of the non-stick backing is attached to an inside of the packaging with the bi-directional adhesive, and the attached portion peels the non-stick backing from the bandage in the second package opening direction to open the packaging.

Mechanisms for dispensing items such as medications and medical supplies. Different mechanisms may be tailored to dispensing different kinds of items, for example medications in single dose packages, vials, syringes, or other similarly-shaped items. The dispensers may be placed in a dispensing unit that includes a lockable restock drawer and a dispense drawer into which items are dispensed by the dispensing mechanisms. The various kinds of dispensing mechanisms may be installed in the restock drawer in any workable proportion and arrangement. The dispensing mechanisms include multiple sensing technologies for tracking and inventory of items and for accurate sensing of items as they are dispensed.

Polyurethane material for indicating pH at a locus, preferably as indication of presence of microbes, comprising a polyurethane network having immobilised therein one or more hydrophilic copolymers, the or each said copolymer comprising: hydrophilic monomer; and indicating monomer, which provides an indication in response to a change in hydrophilic state of said hydrophilic monomer and/or copolymer; characterised in that the or each copolymer further comprises one or a plurality of ionisable groups or moieties or polymerisable monomers having one or more characteristic pKa values in the range 5 to 10 and which are responsive to pH at the locus in the range pH 5 to pH 10 and in that hydrophilic state of hydrophilic copolymer is dependent on ionisation of said ionisable groups, moieties or monomers; kit and device comprising the material and process for preparation thereof; and use in detecting or sensing microbes or pH.

A storage and dispensing system is provided for efficiently loading, supporting, and dispensing one or more items. The system includes a housing defining an interior space for storing the items, a lift platform assembly disposed within the housing and configured to move vertically to support and elevate the items, and a loading mechanism operatively connected to the lift platform assembly. The loading mechanism facilitates placement or loading of the items onto the lift platform assembly and interacts with the lift platform to transition it between a lowered position for loading and a raised position for dispensing. The system allows for selective dispensing of items while maintaining organized storage and ease of access.

A medical supply cabinet includes a housing; a medical supply cabinet identifying machine readable code located on the housing; and a plurality of medical supply packages, each medical supply package containing a specific medical supply. Each medical supply package includes a discarded portion created when the medical supply package is opened. The discarded portion of the medical supply package includes a medical supply package machine readable code identifying the specific medical supply associated with the medical supply package.

The present invention relates to a method and system for aseptically filling of flexible packages containing dry cloth. Such a method may include a first stage that is performed in a non-sterile environment. The first stage may include cutting a first substantially dry cloth to a predetermined size; inserting the first cloth into a flexible package; sealing a first end of the flexible package; and sterilizing the flexible package. The method may also include a second stage performed in a sterile environment. The second stage may include filling the flexible package with a medical solution such that the substantially dry cloth absorbs at least a portion of the medical solution; and sealing the open end of the flexible package.
