Abstract: A storage bag rack system which includes a support assembly which includes a base portion defining a surface which is substantially horizontal and a support portion which extends generally vertically upwardly from the base portion, a mount disposed on the support portion, the mount being adapted to support a pad of storage bags on the support portion in general vertical orientation relative to the base portion such that an opening of a first bag in a pad of bags is oriented away from the support portion to facilitate insertion of material in the bag.

Abstract: A scalpel including an elongated handle having an engaging surface located on the handle, a blade carried by the handle adjacent one end thereof and a guard movably mounted to the handle for sliding movement relative to the handle between a protective position covering the blade and a retracted position exposing the blade for use. The guard includes side members extending downwardly from an upper surface. The side members are positioned adjacent opposite sides of the handle and the resiliency of the guard forces the inner surfaces of the side members into engagement with the engaging surface of the handle. The guard is movably along the engaging surface in response to sliding movement of the guard relative to the handle. In a further form, the guard is slidable into a permanently locked position relative to the handle, thereby preventing reuse of the scalpel and inadvertent exposure of the blade.

Abstract: The scalpel includes a handle mounting a scalpel blade at one end and having a slot opening through and between its opposite sides. A guard, including two side members straddling the handle, is mounted for sliding movement between a protective position overlying the blade and a retracted position exposing the blade for use. The side members are connected by an element extending through the handle slot and one or more resilient fingers in the slot cooperates with the element to detent the guard in one of the positions. In a further form, the guard is slidable into a permanently locked position relative to the handle, thereby preventing reuse of the scalpel and inadvertent exposure of the blade.

Abstract: A disposable hand covering having a stiffened cuff is disclosed. The hand covering can be used to handle contaminated material and can then be removed by the wearer. The stiffened cuffs allow easy removal without contact with the contaminated outside of the hand covering. When the hand covering is removed, it everts to form a pouch. After eversion of the hand covering, sealing means on the stiffened cuffs allow closure of the pouch. The contaminated outside of the hand covering and any contaminated material which was held by the covered hand is contained within the pouch, allowing for safe disposal of the hand covering and its contents.
