Abstract:
1. A method of treating a wound by applying a sterile drug treatment medium, the method comprising the steps of: providing a container pouch formed of flexible plastic, the container pouch having an exterior, an interior and a sealed outer periphery, the sealed outer periphery forming a sterile interior region which isolates the pouch interior from a surrounding environment; placing a sterile drug absorbing medium within the pouch interior prior to sealing the outer periphery, whereby the sterile drug absorbing medium is initially isolated from the surrounding environment by the sealed periphery; providing a syringe accepting fitting on the pouch for discharging a drug treatment from a syringe into the pouch interior; installing a syringe within the fitting on the container pouch and discharging a selected treatment drug from the syringe into the pouch interior, the pouch interior being selectively sized relative to the drug absorbing medium to allow the medium to be shaken within the pouch interior once a drug is injected into the sterile interior region, whereby the drug absorbing medium will contact and evenly absorb the drug treatment; shaking the pouch to cause the treatment drug to be evenly absorbed by the medium so that the medium is impregnated with the drug; opening the container pouch to allow access to the drug impregnated medium; and applying the drug impregnated medium to a wound site.
