An isolation shroud adapted to enclose and protect a medical gas tank against contamination, which is further replaceable between patients to prevent cross-contamination, comprising a sleeve portion with an open end and interior space, and a hood portion with a hood lower opening, adapted to enclose the body and upper end of the medical gas tank respectively. The hood portion is attached to and is continuous with a sleeve order surrounding the open end of the sleeve portion, allowing the open end and sleeve border to be simultaneously lifted to enclose the body and open end respectively. The hood portion further has a hood front opening, allowing a hose to extend from the medical gas tank outwardly through either the hood lower opening or front opening. A fastener attached to the hood portion further allows the hood lower opening to be sealed against the sleeve portion.

The present invention relates to polymeric bags, particularly polymeric drawstring trash bags. The present invention comprises a trash bag having an elastic drawstring. The elastic drawstring trash bag features an integrated short seal comprising an inner seal, an outer seal, and an intermediate seal. The integrated short seal functions to reduce the upper opening of the drawstring trash bag, while the elastic drawstring utilized with the bag provides a bag that allows the bag to fit snugly on many common trash receptacles.

The present disclosure relates to thermoplastic bags having a drawtape within a hem, where the drawtape includes a deformation pattern of a plurality of ribs and a plurality of web areas. The plurality of ribs can include ribs that extend across the drawtape in a non-parallel direction with respect to the width of the drawtape (e.g., at an angle). In some instances, the non-parallel direction causes each rib to point towards a hem hole of the hem that exposes a portion of the drawtape. The plurality of ribs can further be mirrored across an axis that corresponds to a length of the drawtape. In some cases, the ribs are formed via a structural elastic-like film (SELF) process, such as a phased SELF process that leaves a portion of the drawtape without ribs.

Various embodiments of the invention relate to a kit that makes cleaning cat litter boxes easier and more hygienic. The kit comprises numerous stacked filter sheets that can be gathered to form an enclosed bag by use of a drawstring that is threaded around the outer circumference of the filter sheet. Clean litter falls through the filter sheets and the soiled litter can be discarded along with the uppermost of the stacked filter sheets.
