Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A container assembly for transport of new devices and for later disposal of sharps related medical waste. The transport and disposal container assembly preferably has a container body with a top opening and an opening encasing lid for use with various sized container bodies. In one embodiment, the container assembly, when used for sharps disposal, includes a lid having a self-closing biased flap in combination with a cradle member which are opened for access to a pathway for dispensing used sharps into the container body, but which restrict direct or line-of-sight access to previously deposited medical waste. A lid made by a single injection molding step is disclosed. The lid comprises a cover which is opened to permit access to the cradle member and pathway and which is securely, but releasibly, closed to provide a double layer of protection between contents of the container body and a user. Such protection is especially desirable when transporting a container partially filled with contaminated sharps.

Abstract: A container assembly for transport of new devices and for later disposal of sharps and other medical waste, the assembly comprising a secure closure for transport and tamper evidence upon its being opened for access to new devices is disclosed and claimed. The transport and disposal container assembly preferably has a container body with a device ingress and egress opening, a lid for use with multiple-sized container bodies and at least one apparatus which produces tamper evidence when accessing new devices stored for transport within the assembly. Evidence of tampering comprises at least one of (1) a collar which releasibly, but securely interconnects the container body and lid for transport of new devices, (2) a shrink wrap disposed over the entire container and (3) a seal over the container body opening.

Abstract: A container assembly for transport and disposal of medical instruments is disclosed and claimed. The container assembly preferably has a container body and a lid for use with multiple-sized container bodies. The lid includes a self-closing biased flap and a cradle member for insertion of sharp medical instruments and other medical waste without contact by medical personnel during insertion into the container.
