The invention described herein is a sterile, disposable ophthalmic surgery preparation system and technique that can be introduced directly into the sterile field of surgical preparation without significantly compromising sterile conditions. Both the antimicrobial solution and the container holding the solution can be presented into the sterile field in sterile condition. The antimicrobial solution and container are dimensioned and proportioned for single patient or single procedure usage. The invention includes a sterile, disposable ophthalmic surgery preparation system comprising: a sealed, rupturable flexible container structured as a dropper; the container being filled with a liquid antimicrobial composition formulated for ophthalmic application; wherein the container and composition are proportioned for single application use. The invention further provides a surgical kit and method of preparing a patient for ophthalmic surgery.

An ostomy appliance including a collection pouch and a faceplate, each equipped with a flexible plastic coupling ring for detachably joining the faceplate and pouch. One of the rings includes a neck portion that protrudes through the opening of the other ring when the two are coupled together. An annular web of thin, flexible, stretchable plastic material is secured to the backside of the receiving ring and sealingly engages the protruding end of the neck portion when the two rings are latched together.

The invention herein provides an improved manufacturing process for sterile containers pre-filled with topical antimicrobial solutions that reduces or avoids undesirable by-products as a result of the ethylene oxide gas sterilization technique. The process of the invention produces containers pre-filled with antimicrobial solution that are sterilized in accordance with the ethylene oxide technique, while at the same time have a toxic residue content within acceptable limits. The invention is particularly useful in the manufacture of plastic containers pre-filled with iodine-based antimicrobial solutions.
