Abstract: An intravenous fluid delivery system includes a multiple tube portion including multiple IV fluid lines carrying fluid that are removably connected to each other and connectable to separate IV sources and a mixing element connected to the multiple IV fluid lines and configured to mix the fluid from the multiple IV fluid lines and provide them to a single outlet.

Abstract: A subcutaneous drain includes cap portion and a base with a central opening including a valve element that opens and closes to allow for withdrawal and addition of fluid into the patient's body. In embodiments, the drain may include a seal assembly to prevent leakage around a drain catheter that passes through the drain.

Abstract: An apparatus for tracking surgical assets includes a processor, a power supply for providing power to an entirety of circuitry of the apparatus, and a communications engine coupled with the processor. The communications engine is configured to communicate with one or more mobile devices external to the apparatus. The tracking apparatus further includes a piezoelectric element for generating an audible indication in response to an activation signal supplied thereto, and a piezoelectric driver coupled with the piezoelectric element and the processor. The piezoelectric element is disposed on an exterior surface of the apparatus. The piezoelectric driver is configured to generate the activation signal supplied to the piezoelectric element as a function of a user-initiated request signal and/or a control signal generated by the processor. The tracking apparatus is adapted to withstand elevated temperatures during a sterilization process of a medical asset to which the apparatus is attached.

Abstract: An anatomical specimen collection device and system enabling a higher capacity, extended filtering capability and easy removal of the specimen while avoiding blockage or clogging. The anatomical specimen collection device includes a removable flexible nozzle with a distal end configured for mating with a variety of suction instruments and a removable axial filter element surrounded by a negative pressure environment.

Abstract: A bone dust collection device includes a bone dust collection structure defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end and a distal end. The bone dust collection structure has a transverse plate member connected at or in the vicinity of the proximal end to a cylindrical wall defining an aperture at the distal end for receiving and collecting bone dust. The aperture extends proximally and includes a filtration member disposed therein. The filtration member causes at least partial separation of fluid from the bone dust via the fluid passing proximally through the filtration member. The bone dust collection structure enables removal of bone dust collected therein. A method of collecting an anatomical specimen includes generating an anatomical specimen in particulate form at a surgical site of a subject; collecting the particulate accumulated in the collection device; and packing the collected particulate into a region of interest in the subject.
