    Abstract: A system and methods for sterilizing and drying contaminated articles, particularly medical articles, and more particularly the hollow internal areas of medical instruments or lumens of medical endoscopes. The system includes a plasma generator having an electrode, a shield, and a dielectric gap between the electrode and the shield. A source of electrical power connected to the plasma generator applies an electrode energy density between the electrode and the shield. A source of a sterilizing gas precursor provides a flow of the sterilizing gas precursor through the plasma generator to generate a plasma, thereby forming a sterilizing gas including acidic and/or oxidizing species. The contaminated article is exposed to the sterilizing gas for a time sufficient to achieve a desired degree of sterilization. A turbulent flow of a drying gas is used to dry the contaminated article alternately with the exposure of the contaminated article to the sterilizing gas.

    Abstract: An article, comprising: an enclosure comprising: a first film layer; a second film layer, wherein the first film layer and the second film layer are sealed together to form at least one interior region for enclosing a liquid; and an adhesive layer disposed on an exterior surface of the first film layer; wherein the at least one interior region is liquid-filled. A method, comprising: providing an enclosure comprising: a first film layer; a second film layer; at least one interior region; and a composite layer comprising the first film layer and an adhesive layer disposed on an exterior surface of the first film layer; wherein: the composite layer is liquid-impervious and flexible; the first film layer and the second film layer are sealed together to form the at least one interior region; the interior region has a sealed outer periphery; and the interior region is liquid-filled; positioning the article over an intended site of operation, with the adhesive layer facing towards the intended site of operation; penetrating each of the first film layer, the at least one interior region, and the composite layer with a surgical device; and penetrating the intended site of operation with the surgical device.
