The invention relates to a mobile selection system for selecting medical accessories comprising a control system, a user interface and a treatment cart. The treatment cart comprises a plurality of storage devices each having at least two storage areas for a respective accessory type. The control system thereby implements a selection method having the following method steps. The treatment identifier of the treatment to be performed is determined in one method step via the user interface. In a further method step, a plurality of accessory set parameters which characterize a medical accessory set are determined on the basis of an accessory database and on the basis of the treatment identifier of the treatment to be performed. The treatment cart comprises a release mechanism, wherein the control system is designed to control the release mechanism so as to release those medical accessories for which at least one of the storage devices comprises storage area for their accessory types and which are characterized by the accessory set parameters on which the control is based.

A system and related methods of preventing wrong-site surgeries and blade-related injuries to OR personnel, which includes a computer software system (for use on computers or hand-held devices in the medical environment) in combination with a surgical supply carrier (such as a safety blade-dispenser or other surgical sharps dispenser). The surgical supply carrier comprises at least one component, such as a label, which prevents or impedes a surgeon from accessing one or more surgical instruments stored within until after a “time-out” is performed by the surgeon or authorized OR personnel to confirm various details including but not limited to correct patient, correct procedure, correct equipment, etc, before starting the intended surgical procedure. Data can be captured throughout the medical environment (from “decision-to-incision” and beyond) to assess wrong-site surgery data (including “near miss” data) and enable a host of analytics on wrong-site surgery prevention.

The present invention describes a carrier that encases a tactical tourniquet, attaches to the user or the user's gear, and allows a person to quickly access the tourniquet to stop or slow traumatic bleeding. One embodiment comprises an open top half and an open bottom half which connect to encase the tourniquet. Each of the top half and bottom half are removably connected and are held together with a compressive band. Tourniquet rip cords extend through the carrier and may be pulled by the user. To access the tourniquet, the user pulls the carrier from the compressive band by pulling a rip cord. The carrier halves immediately fall apart after they are free from the compressive band, leaving the tourniquet available for immediate use.

An automatic mask dispenser handles procedure masks of a type having filtration material inside ear loops by use of a high engagement material on a movable surface that can selectively remove the lowermost mask. In one embodiment opposed moving surfaces are provided to fold the mask hygienically about its inner surface for dispensing to the user.

The facemask dispensing device an apparatus that is intended to dispense a protective equipment such as masks to a user before entering a building or other location. The dispenser allows a user to extract a single use mask without having to touch other surfaces or masks contained in the dispenser. The dispenser is provided a body which houses a plurality of masks and a mounting plate that may allow for the dispenser to be mounted onto a wall. The plurality of masks may be push towards a front of the dispenser to an opening where a user can simply grab a mask to wear. Each of the plurality of masks may be contained in a package to further prevent contamination of other masks positioned inside the dispenser. Furthermore, the dispenser may be positioned in a vertical manner instead of being mounted onto a wall.

An automatic medical condom supply device includes a condom supply part installed inside a device body to supply, one by one, medical condom modules each of which is wrapped in a wrapper, a condom withdrawal part moving, to the outside of the device body, through an outlet formed in the device body, each of the medical condom modules supplied from the condom supply part, a wrapper removal part removing the wrapper of the medical condom module withdrawn to the outside of the device body by the condom withdrawal part, and a condom holding part installed outside the device body to hold a medical condom discharged through the outlet so that a medical probe is coupled with the medical condom from which the wrapper has been removed.

A medical instrument cover dispensing apparatus 10 comprising: a cover storage arrangement 11 configured to house one or more medical instrument covers 12, said one or more medical instrument covers 12 being in a first configuration when housed in the cover storage arrangement 11. A cover engagement and placement assembly 13 is provided and is configured to receive one of the one or more medical instrument covers 12, or portion thereof, and move said received medical instrument cover 12 such that said medical instrument cover 12 is placed in a second configuration. Wherein, in the second configuration, said medical instrument cover 12 is operably engagable by a medical instrument 76 to attach the medical instrument cover 12 to the medical instrument 76.

A dispenser for dispensing and attaching individual markers to a reference array of a tracking system is described. A housing defines a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis. The housing has a dispensing end defining a dispensing aperture. A plurality of markers are stacked within the cavity. Each marker has a marker attachment feature by which the marker is attachable to an attachment site of a reference array. The dispensing end of the housing provides a retainer which exerts a retaining force on a bottom most marker sufficient to retain the plurality of markers within the cavity but permitting the bottom most marker to be released from the cavity when the bottom most marker has been attached by its attachment feature to the attachment site of the reference array.

This packaging device includes a housing delimiting a storing chamber. The storing chamber includes a distribution aperture configured to allow passage of one of said medical containers outside the housing so as to allow a user to pick up this medical container. The packaging device also includes a sharps container positioned inside the storing chamber of the housing in a pre-use position, the sharps container being removable from the storing chamber so as to be put outside the housing in a collecting position wherein the sharps container allows collection of the used medical containers. The sharps container is configured to contain the plurality of medical containers in the pre-use position and comprises a spill-out window configured to allow the medical containers to fall down into the storing chamber when the sharps container is moved from the pre-use position to the collecting position.
