Disclosed herein are packagings for cutting blades, multiple packagings connected to each other, methods for using and producing such packagings, and a method for packaging cutting blades in such packagings. One such packaging comprises a substantially flat base and cover layer made of a first and a second packaging material respectively, a blade receptacle between the two layers, and a cover of the blade receptacle formed in the cover layer. The first and second packaging material are made primarily of cardboard. The packaging materials each have a first and a second rigidity in corresponding primary directions, wherein a cutting edge of a blade is disposed in the packaging parallel to at least one of the primary directions. A multiple packaging made of such individual packagings with a separation region between two individual packagings comprises a planned parting line in a layer and a hinge line in the other layer.

A package with a first container defining a storage region defined by side walls extending upward from a lower region to a top surface. A first cartridge is positioned within the storage region of the first container. A card is mounted to the top surface of the first container. A leading edge of the card and a front face of the first container define an opening dimensioned to receive a handle.

A double packaging structure for an object, which may be a sterile object, includes a hollow external container having a closed first end, an open second end and walls, and an internal container disposed inside the external container. The internal container includes a hollow body and a cap. The object is intended to be received in the body. To close its first end, the external container has a membrane capable of deforming when pressure is applied to the membrane. The membrane is configured so that a pressure applied to its outer face, along the longitudinal axis, pushes its inner face against the inner container and causes the inner container to exit at the second end of the external container in the absence of a closure system at the second end.

A wheeled intraoperative neuromonitoring transport device capable of portability and overhead airplane storage that comprises a lower frame that includes two outer legs and an inner support frame, an equipment holder secured about the lower frame, a back frame secured the lower frame, a frame coupled in sliding relation with the back frame between an opened and closed position, and an articulating computer tray carried by the frame via at least one pivoting joint.

An instrument tray for storing and supplying surgical instruments, and a system and a method for at least semi-automatically handling trays of this type. The tray includes a container for receiving surgical instruments, and the container has unique visual markers for individual instruments. The system also includes a manipulator and an image recognition unit.

Safety-blade dispensers for safely storing surgical blades prior to surgery and optionally for retrieving used surgical blades after surgery. In either case, the safety-blade dispenser is configured to store one or more surgical blades in an orientation that allows a user to simply and safely attach a surgical tool handle to the surgical blades (and optionally remove the handle from the surgical blades) without requiring the user to physically touch or manipulate the surgical blades by hand. The safety-blade dispensers disclosed herein may be used alone or in conjunction with a system and method of preventing wrong-site surgery.

Packaging and methods for packaging tools having a sharp or cutting edge, such as surgical tools, in which the tool is packaged under sterile conditions. The tool may be packaged first—at least partially—and in particular with its sensitive cutting edges and working surfaces packaged in a protective package. The protective package containing at least the cutting or working surfaces of the tool may then be secured in a fixed position in an outer blister pack, which may be sealed with a sealing film.

A medical device tray for carrying a plurality of medical devices includes: a base made of a substantially rigid material, the base forming at least one base through-hole; and a covering affixed to the base, the covering being made of a material which is softer than the substantially rigid material of the base, the covering forming at least one covering through-hole, the at least one base through-hole and the at least one covering through-hole cooperating to form at least one medical device tray through-hole configured for directly supporting a respective one of the plurality of medical devices.
