Abstract: The present invention relates to a single-use container manufactured from sheet material, the single-use container comprising: a base, wherein the base is flat and forms a surface on which the single- use container can stand, —a front wall, a right wall, a left wall and a rear wall which extend upward from the base, wherein the front wall and the rear wall are convex, and wherein the right wall and left wall are concave, an upper end which connects the front wall, right wall, left wall and rear wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a single-use, maceratable bedpan (10) comprising: a main basin (12) that is defined by a bottom wall (14) and a circumferential wall (16) which is connected to the bottom wall and which extends upwards from the bottom wall, wherein the circumferential wall tapers outwardly in an upward direction, allowing nesting in a stack, an upper wall (22) which is connected to an upper edge (23) of the circumferential wall, wherein the upper wall extends over a horizontal distance outwardly away from said upper edge, at least a first support leg (24) and a second support leg (25) which extend downward from the upper wall, wherein each support leg comprises a circumferential leg wall (28) which is connected at an upper end thereof to the upper wall, wherein each circumferential leg wall tapers outwardly in an upward direction, wherein each support leg is hollow and defines a leg cavity, and wherein the upper wall defines a leg opening (31) at each upper leg, allowing nesting of support leg

Abstract: The present invention relates to a single use, non-expandable, disposable container for holding a liquid, in particular a body liquid, the container comprising: —a bottom wall, —a circumferential side wall which extends in an upward direction from the bottom wall, wherein the circumferential side wall defines an upper opening ( ) at an upper end ( ) of the container, —a first folding flap and a second folding flap which are connected via a respective first folding line and a second folding line to opposed sections of an upper edge of the circumferential side wall, wherein the first and second folding flaps are foldable between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position of the folding flaps the circumferential side wall and the folding flaps taper outwardly in an upward direction, allowing the container to be nested, and wherein the folding flaps have a varying flap width, wherein the flap width reaches a maximum at a central portion of the folding flaps, and wherein said maximum flap

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical hand covering for tightly enclosing a hand holding a medical instrument to prevent and/or minimize transmission of infectious agents upon examination. The medical hand covering may be prepared by a variety of methods, such as dipping and curing or welding and die cutting. The medical hand covering may have a variety of uses, such as minimizing transmission of infectious agents and reduce anxiety in patients via inclusion of a printed character on the medical hand covering. Also disclosed herein are methods for packaging, devices for dispensing, methods for dispensing, and kits encompassing the medical hand coverings described herein.

Abstract: A waste storage device includes a container in which a cassette is mounted. Tubing is pulled through the centre of the cassette to store packages separated by twists. The cassette is rotated relative to the container to provide the twists between packages by virtue of a rotatable disk and user grip portion. The package is gripped against rotation by a gripper diaphragm and is guided towards a wall of the container by a guide diaphragm to prevent untwisting between packages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a single-use container (200) manufactured from sheet material, the single-use container comprising: a base (206), wherein the base is flat and forms a surface on which the single-use container can stand,—a front wall (201), a right wall (202), a left wall (203) and a rear wall (204) which extend upward from the base, wherein the front wall and the rear wall are convex, and wherein the right wall and left wall are concave, an upper end (207) which connects the front wall, right wall, left wall and rear wall.

Abstract: A waste storage device includes a container (21) in which a cassette (1) is mounted. Tubing (2) is pulled through the center of the cassette (1) to store packages (35) separated by twists. The cassette (1) is rotated relative to the container (21) to provide the twists between packages (35) by virtue of a rotatable disk (100) and user grip portion (102). The package is gripped against rotation by a gripper diaphragm (120) and is guided towards a wall of the container by a guide diaphragm (122) to prevent untwisting between packages.

Abstract: An infant cup includes a cup body 12, a cover 16, a flexible mouthpiece 24 and a valve element 26. The valve element 26 includes a sealing face 70 which closes an orifice 44 in the mouthpiece in a relaxed position. The valve element includes an angled face cooperating with an internal angled face of the mouthpiece such that when pressure is applied the valve element moves downwardly, opening the mouthpiece orifice 44. The valve element is resiliently biased upwards such that when relaxed it springs back to close the mouthpiece orifice 44 once again, and is biased upwards in the closed position.
