A container (200) is configured to retain a coiled device, such as a guide wire, within the container (200). The container (200) includes a bowl (201) and one or more retention devices (230). Each retention device (230) includes a retention tab (206) that is coupled to the bowl (201) by a hinge (207). The bowl (201) and retention tabs (206) can be manufactured as an integral component by using living hinges as the hinge (207). The containers (200) are configured to be efficiently stacked when the retention tabs (206) are rotated to an open position.

An apparatus for the containment of a surgical site includes an enclosure, with at least one port, securely coupled to the surgical site and a source of pressurized fluid in fluid communication with the enclosure via the at least one port providing pressurized fluid to the surgical site. The pressurized fluid establishes a hemostatic equilibrium within the enclosure by reducing blood egress through injuries in blood vessels at the surgical site thereby preventing bleeding at the surgical site. A method for the containment of a surgical site includes securely coupling an enclosure to a surgical site; fluidly coupling a source of pressurized fluid to the enclosure; and continuously providing pressurized fluid to the enclosure from the source of pressurized fluid and draining fluid from the enclosure. The pressurized fluid establishes a hemostatic equilibrium within the enclosure.

A drain bag outlet device includes inlet, valve and outlet portions. The inlet portion includes a connector and a cylindrical portion. The connector is adapted to connect to a fluid drain bag. A second end of the connector is adapted to connect to the cylindrical portion forming a generally longitudinal opening therethrough. The valve portion is attached to a second end of the cylindrical portion and includes a valve member for moving between positions to permit and obstruct fluid flow through the longitudinal opening. The outlet portion includes an outlet member having an angled portion and a shield connected to the valve portion. The shield completely surrounds and extends below the outlet member. The shield includes upper and lower portions. The diameter of the upper is less than the diameter of the lower portion. The outlet device eliminates the fluid that is spilled, splashed or sprayed on a healthcare worker.

Tracking an attendee at an event includes providing a near field communications (NFC) device associated with an event station to facilitate tracking an attendee. A processor associates an identification code with an NFC tag, where the identification code is associated with the attendee and the NFC tag communicates with one or more other NFC devices to track the attendee through the event.

A stackable lid (100) and corresponding fluid collection canister (500,600) are provided. The stackable lid (100) has a lid member (101) that defines a first partial lid interior portion (201) and a second partial lid interior portion (202). One or more ports (107,108,109) are disposed on the first partial lid interior portion (201), with a filter engagement extension (301) extending beneath one of the ports. A stacking recess (211) is disposed on the second partial lid interior portion (202), and can be out of phase relative to the filter engagement extension (301). When lids are stacked correspondingly out of phase, a filter (902) coupled to the filter engagement extension (301) nests within the stacking recess (211), thereby reducing overall stack height by sixty percent or more.
