Abstract: A method for producing enveloped electroscopic filter material can include feeding, from a main spool, at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material in a first direction, feeding, from a pair of spools, sheets of cover material in the first direction such that each spool feeds a sheet of cover material along a different side of the sheet electroscopic filter material, sealing, via a pair of heat-sealing roller nips, the at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material and the sheets of cover material periodically together to form sealed portions, and cutting, via a cutting mechanism, each sealed portion to produce envelopes of electroscopic filter material. The at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material can extend to the outermost edges of each envelope such that each envelope comprises substantially the same dimensions as the at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material.

Abstract: A contoured sterilizing element is configured to conform to the outer and inner surfaces of a working end-site of a medical device such as a catheter hub, luer connector, luer component, needleless access site, and/or access port The sterilizing element is made from absorbent material and can be pre-moistened or impregnated with an anti-pathogenic agent The sterilizing element can be contained within a housing that is easily griped and opened in one hand by the user The sterilizing element is configured to wipe debris from and to sterilize and/or dry a working end-site of medical device, using a wiping, twisting, dabbing, push/pull, and/or screwing motion around all of the surface aspects of the device to be sterilized.

Abstract: A single-use applicator for amorphous substances comprising a base panel impermeable to the amorphous substance, a retentive layer secured to the base panel, an amorphous substance suffused throughout the retentive layer, and a thin, flexible cover that is unaffected by the amorphous substance and secured to the base panel to seal the retentive layer in an enclosed space.

Abstract: A quick release mechanism is adapted to actuate a stack of at least one clutch plate of a clamp assembly. The assembly includes a beam and a jaw with a housing having the stack disposed therein. The quick release mechanism is positioned around an outer surface of the housing. The quick release mechanism also includes a handle and a clutch plate engaging portion adapted to engage the stack.

Abstract: A single-use applicator for amorphous substances comprising a base panel impermeable to the amorphous substance, a frame secured to the base panel, an amorphous substance deposited about the frame, and a thin, flexible cover that is unaffected by the amorphous substance and secured to the base panel to seal the amorphous substance layer in an enclosed space.
