Abstract: Various implementations of a fluid collection system having a flexible liner are disclosed. In one exemplary variation, the fluid collection system may include a container having a top opening, a lid configured to close the top opening, and a flexible liner attached to the lid. The liner may be interposed between the lid and the container when the lid closes the top opening. The liner and the lid may define a substantially sealed interior space therebetween. The lid may include an access port through which the interior space receives fluid. The flexible liner may also be configured to controllably collapse as the fluid is removed from the interior space.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a medical device with a handpiece that provides enhanced comfort of use, maneuverability, and for a variety of hand-held options to the user. Embodiments of the invention include handpieces that include a grip panel comprised of a friction-enhancing material to facilitate gripping of the handpiece by an operator. In addition, embodiments of the invention include handpieces having a generally symmetrical configuration in order to facilitate grasping by an operator's left or right hand.

Abstract: Various implementations of a fluid collection system having a flexible liner are disclosed. In one exemplary variation, the fluid collection system may include a flexible liner configured to collapse, a plurality of containers, back storage, specimen collection containers, and/or automatic connection to a suction source to reduce the volume of medical wastes, reduce the frequency of disposal cycles, reduce risk of exposure to potentially hazardous waste.

Abstract: A screwdriver having a handle and a scale for measuring torque transmitted to a screw and having a beam-type spring for transmitting the screwing torque. The handle and spring have a lost-motion connection therebetween, and there is limit stop in that connection. The handle is sealed against the entry of debris. The method of making the screwdriver is also disclosed.
