Abstract:
1. An apparatus for preparation and application of a single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C comprising: a sealed container containing a single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C; a sealed container containing sterilized liquid for mixing with the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C and preparing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomvcin-C for operative use; a means for applying the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with the sterilized liquid to body tissue; the sealed container containing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C, the sealed container containing sterilized liquid, and the means for applying the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with the sterilized liquid to body tissue all being contained as a kit in a single package; a tray having a compartment; at least one absorbent pad provided for positioning in the tray compartment, the pad being provided for containing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with the sterilized liquid, and the pad being removable from the tray compartment for transient application of the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with the sterilized liquid from the pad; the tray having a cover that is movable between opened and closed positions of the cover relative to the tray where in the opened position the cover is displaced from the tray compartment providing access to the compartment and the pad in the compartment, and in the closed position the cover covers over and seals closed the compartment preventing access to the compartment and the pad in the compartment; a carrier provided for containing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with sterilized liquid, the carrier being separate from the tray; the tray having a first passage that extends between the tray compartment and an exterior of the tray and is communicatable with the carrier containing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with sterilized liquid to communicate the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with sterilized liquid from the carrier to the pad in the tray compartment; the tray first passage being removably connectable with the carrier containing the single dose of an ophthalmic formulation of mitomycin-C prepared with sterilized water.
