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.

A dispenser (100) for medical articles (163), comprising a base (110) and a cover (120), wherein the base (110) comprises at least one stopper arrangement (170) integrated in the main wall of the base (110) and protruding from the inside surface (111b) of the main wall of the base (110), wherein each of the at least one stopper arrangement (170) has at least one cut-out (171) configured to to hold medical articles (163), received in a respective opening in the cover (120) when the dispenser (100) is in a closed configuration, and configured to release receive and hold at least one medical article (163), or a container (160) configured its hold on the at least one medical article (163) or the container (160) when the dispenser (100) is in an open configuration.

The present invention provides a biphasic formulation, comprising a liquid layer on the outside and an elastic hydrogel wherein the water formed on the surface of the elastic gel is physically cooling the skin by evaporating and to give a first boost of the active ingredients directly when placing on the skin of humans or animals. The biphasic formulation according to the present invention may be arranged in a hydrogel patch which creates an environment that relieves or promotes the healing process for the treatment of insect bites, sunburn, erythema, pruritus, acne, dry skin or callus. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a biphasic hydrogel composition, comprising 6% or less PVA, physical crosslinking, glycerol as humectant and the use of water impermeable packaging to reach equilibrium of the syneresis and preserve the moisture of the gel during long-term storage.

A surgical sponge inventory rack includes a vertical mounting rod, a laterally extending sponge bag holder connected to the mounting rod, and a sponge bag supported on the sponge bag holder. The sponge bag includes a pocket configured to receive and display a surgical sponge. The sponge bag holder including a plurality of support members. The support members are shiftable relative to one another to transition the sponge bag holder between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. At least one of the support members extends in the lateral direction past another of the support members when the sponge bag holder is in the expanded configuration. The support members collectively present a depth in a fore-and-aft direction that is transverse to the lateral direction and transverse to the vertical direction. The depth is at least substantially constant as the sponge bag holder transitions between the collapsed and expanded configurations.

Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for treatment to skin, including but not limited to wound healing, the treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of scars or keloids. A book-like packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may be used to apply a dressing to a subject. The packaging, applicator and/or tensioning device may apply and/or maintain a strain in an elastic dressing.

Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for wound healing, including the treatment, amelioration, or prevention of scars and/or keloids by applying and/or maintaining a pre-determined strain in an elastic skin treatment device that is then affixed to the skin surface using skin adhesives to transfer a generally planar force from the bandage to the skin surface. Applicators are used to apply and/or maintain the strains, and some of the applicators are further configured to provide at least some mechanical advantage to the user when exerting loads onto the skin treatment device.
