Abstract: An improved temporary pharmaceutical product packaging solution provides users with multiple individual cavities that may be filled with multiple individual doses of various pharmaceuticals and subsequently sealed by the user for future consumption of the pharmaceuticals. In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the user is able to simultaneously seal a plurality of individual cavities with a sheet of cover material after the individual cavities have been filled with the desired pharmaceuticals. In a preferred exemplary embodiment of the cover material is reverse printed with dosing information for an individual.
Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for simulating anatomic and physiological responses to medical procedures involving administering regional anesthetic/analgesic agent in real time using a mannequin. Such simulation allows trainees to perform regional anesthesia techniques that closely mimic real world medical procedures before performing procedures on live patients.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical product package employs a clear plastic member that includes at least one cavity within which one or more pharmaceutical products may be located. The cavity is preferably centrally located within the boundaries of the overall package in a lower portion thereof. The clear plastic member preferably includes one or more additional elongated structural protrusions that extend outward in the same direction as the cavity for housing the pharmaceutical products. These elongated structural protrusions are formed lengthwise parallel to and near the edges of the package. The pharmaceutical package of the present invention also desirably includes a central void or opening in the clear plastic material which is preferably located above the cavity for the solid pharmaceutical. The void provides location for receiving a hook or other protruding member for hanging the product package on the hook or other protruding member.

Abstract: An automated pharmaceutical package machine fills a product package filling guide positioned above a solid pharmaceutical product package having a plurality of cavities corresponding to positions of the filling guide. The automatic filling machine includes a mechanism for vertically displacing the product package to be filled toward the filling guide. Various guide members or plates are utilized in order to pre-fill filling templates so that each of the cavities of a product package may be simultaneously filled.
