Abstract: A container (100) having a main body (104) including one or more sidewalls (106) having an interior surface (120) and an exterior surface (122) and defining an interior compartment (108), the one or more sidewalls having an upper portion (114) defining a circular opening (110) to the interior compartment and an annular flange (128) extending from the exterior surface and a lid-collar assembly (112, 116) comprising a lid (116) attached to a collar (112) affixed to the main body, the collar having an inner side surface (162) positioned radially outward of the annular flange and a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs (210) spaced apart on the inner side surface, wherein the plurality of ribs engage the annular flange to resist rotation of the lid-collar assembly relative to the main body.

Abstract: A sealed container for packaging of granular or powdered product including a rigid container body defining an interior space and an upper portion, the upper portion having a sealing lip that defines an opening to the interior space, and a flexible, polymer sealing membrane removably attached to the sealing lip to cover the opening, the sealing membrane including a plurality of laser generated micro-perforations formed through the sealing membrane, the size of each of the plurality of laser generated micro-perforations being less than 3.937 mils.

Abstract: A container for holding granular or powdered material. The container includes a base and a lid. The base defines an interior space and an opening to the interior space. The lid is removably attached to the base and adapted to cover the opening. Latches are attached to the outside surface of the lid on opposing sides of the lid. Inwardly extending lugs on the inside surface of the latch are correspondingly positioned to contact deflectors on the outside surface of the base during attachment of the lid to the base.

Abstract: An adaptor 20 temporarily transforms a valved urinary catheter 2 into one that permits continuous fluid flow by deforming the valve 3. The adaptor 20 includes a tube 22 that sealingly engages into the catheter outlet tube 4 and is provided with an actuator member 24 extending therefrom that engages the catheter valve 3. The actuator member 24 is sized to allow urine to flow therearound and into the tube 22, when the member 24 extends into engagement with the valve to deformably open same. However, the actuator member 24 is of a smaller diameter than the tube 22, and therefore does not greatly deform the valve 3 thereby avoiding damage to the valve 3. The adaptor 20 additionally includes a releasable clip 30, 32 that augments the frictional fit between the outlet tube 4 of the catheter 2 and the adaptor 20. The clip 30, 32 can also be sized to interact with a portion of the catheter 2 or the valve housing 5 to ensure the adaptor 20 is inserted an appropriate distance into the catheter 2.
