    摘要: Systems, computer-readable instructions, and methods for dispensing and tracking medical products in various medical locations are disclosed. For example, the system may include a server which receives one or more requests for types of medical products from one or more client devices, determines whether the requested types and quantities are available in a dispenser and issues an instruction to the dispenser to automatically dispense the requested medical products and quantities. The server may receive confirmation after the types of medical products are dispensed from the dispenser and update a database. The server may receive unused and used medical product information from a client device and reconcile with restocked medical product information from the dispenser. Available types of medical products and quantities, usage reports and recommendations may be viewed via a Platform by one or more client devices. The dispenser may receive requests directly from a client device for medical products.

    摘要: A trocar includes a shaft having a leading section, a trailing section, a reduced diameter midsection located between the leading and trailing sections, and a longitudinal axis extending along the length of the shaft. The leading section of the shaft has a tapered region that terminates at a blunt tip. The trailing section of the shaft has a connector located at the trailing end thereof. The leading and trailing sections of the shaft having a first diameter and the reduced diameter midsection of the shaft has a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter for enabling the shaft to be bent at the reduced diameter midsection. A flexible wound drain catheter having a first end is secured to the connector at the trailing end of the trailing section of the shaft. The flexible wound drain catheter has an outer diameter that matches the first diameter of the leading and trailing sections of the shaft.
