Abstract: A system and related methods of preventing wrong-site surgeries and sharps-related injuries to OR personnel, which includes a computer software program (for use on computers or hand-held devices in the medical environment) in combination with a surgical supply carrier. The surgical supply carrier may be associated with a patient's medical chart (e.g. integrally or otherwise attached to) and is configured to lockably receive therein one or more surgical supplies (e.g. instruments, implants, and/or essential components) needed for the patient's imminent medical procedure. The surgical supply carrier may further comprise an unlocking feature requiring at least two “keys” to unlock the carrier, with each “key” operating to verify that the correct surgical supplies are associated with the correct patient.

Abstract: A method of repairing and renewing a manhole chimney utilizes a circumferentially stretchable liner sleeve which is inserted into the manhole and pressed by an inflatable bladder into engagement with the walls of the manhole chimney. The sleeve is coated with an uncured resin, which is allowed to cure as the sleeve is pressed against the chimney walls, thereby attaching the sleeve to the walls of the manhole chimney. The stretchable sleeve eliminates air spaces between the sleeve and the chimney walls, and precludes formation of undesirable folds in the sleeve. The sleeve stretches circumferentially up to 150% of its unstretched diameter, while having a substantially unstretchable length.
