A gown () includes a body covering portion (). A first sleeve () and a second sleeve () each extend distally away from the body covering portion and terminating at a retention device (). A first concentric sleeve () is coupled to the first sleeve at a first connection location () and extends along an exterior of the first sleeve toward the retention device. A second concentric sleeve () is coupled to the second sleeve at a second connection location () and extends along the exterior of the second sleeve toward the retention device.

Gown with concentric sleeves and corresponding methods

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a surgical cap is provided that includes a cover having a head-receiving cavity and a resilient member connected to the cover and extending about less than the entire head-receiving cavity. The cover includes a plurality of layers comprising at least one layer inward from the resilient member adapted to separate the resilient member from a head received in the head-receiving cavity and at least two outer layers outward from the resilient member to which the resilient member is secured. In accordance with another aspect, a method of fabricating a surgical cap is provided.

Irrigator

The present invention is directed to a container having increased compression strength. Embodiments of the container comprise a pair of opposing side walls, each of which may include at least one layer of corrugated board having horizontal fluting and at least one layer of corrugated board having vertical fluting. Embodiments of the container also comprise a pair of opposing end walls, each of which may include at least one layer of corrugated board having horizontal fluting and at least one layer of corrugated board having vertical fluting. Embodiments of the container may be prepared from a single blank of corrugated board and may have a bottom surface that is integral with each of the side walls and each of the end walls so as to be considered leak proof. Embodiments of the container may also be configured to be collapsible to a substantially flat arrangement.

Container having improved compression strength

A gown () includes a body covering () disposed between a first sleeve () and a second sleeve (). The body covering portion includes a first layer () coupled to a second layer () by an adhesive () comprising a unactivated colorant, such as an unactivated dye (). The unactivated colorant transitions to an activated colorant () when wet, and the second layer absorbs the activated colorant.

Disposable gown

Disclosed is an aortic punch comprising a first body member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second body member disposed at least partially within said first body member, a manual actuator, a piston having an anvil disposed at a distal end thereof, and a shear, said shear being integral with said second body member. The first body member and second body member are axially movable relative to one another between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position and within a range of intermediate positions while maintaining the piston and shear in position relative to each other in the axial direction, and separately the shear is axially movable via manual actuation relative to said anvil between an insertion position and a shearing position and a range of intermediate positions.
