Abstract: A menstrual device having a storage volume. The menstrual device has a frame and a fluid barrier seal layer attached to the exterior surface of the frame. The menstrual device has an expanded configuration that includes an at rest configuration and a deployed configuration. The menstrual device has a compact configuration where the menstrual device is confined to a size, shape and/or geometry smaller than an expanded configuration such that it can be more easily inserted into the body. The menstrual device in a compact configuration is contained within an applicator, where the applicator assists in ejecting the menstrual device into the body.

Abstract: A system for measuring fluid absorption and retention properties of various samples having one or more materials, layers and/or articles. The system includes an optically or radiographically transparent fixture. The system enables measuring voxels having a grayscale value that demonstrate a difference in fluid densities and thereby enable the study of fluid flow and movement within and/or amongst various materials and articles in real time.

Abstract: Syringe tip caps are described herein. Such syringe tip caps may include a cup, a cap, a locking feature, a peelable seal and an absorbent material. The cap having locking features and a chamber appropriately sized to adapt to and interlock with an annular wall of the cup.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tampon applicator package assembly having a tampon applicator and a cap having a closed end and an open end. The tampon applicator has a barrel for housing a pledget and a plunger. The plunger has an end portion that is a cap cover that connects to a remainder of the plunger and mates with the cap at the open end to provide a seal with the cap that completely encloses the tampon applicator in the cap. Also disclosed is an assembly having a tampon applicator, a cap having both a closed end and open end, and a cap cover for covering the open end of the cap. When the cap cover is placed on the open end, the open end is sealed and the tampon applicator is completely enclosed in the cap.

Abstract: A packaging scheme for identifying consumer goods affiliated with, made and/or sold by a company and/or brand. The packaging scheme provides for a first product and a second product where the first product and the second product are different products, and a first package containing the first product and a second package containing both the first product and the second product. A first visual cue and/or a first packaging construction cue are associated with the first product. A second visual cue and/or a second packaging construction cue are associated with the second product, such that the first package has a first visual cue and/or a first packaging construction cue, while the second package has both a (i) first visual cue and/or a first packaging construction cue, and (ii) a second visual cue and/or a second packaging construction cue.

Abstract: A disinfection device is disclosed having a container, a scrub element, a disinfectant or antimicrobial agent, and a removable seal. The scrub element may be disposed on a base scrub. The container configured to define a chamber to contain the base scrub, scrub element, and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent. The base scrub and/or scrub element(s) are adapted to compress and contact the distal tip and sidewall of a male Luer connector, female Luer connector or hemodialysis connector upon insertion of the connector into the chamber. The removable seal prevents the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the chamber. Also described are methods of disinfecting a medical connector, and an assembly comprising a device for disinfecting a medical connector.
