Abstract
A sterile wound treatment kit includes a plastic container pouch with a sealed outer periphery which forms a sterile interior region which isolates the pouch interior from a surrounding environment. A drug absorbing medium is located within the pouch interior and initially isolated from the surrounding environment by the sealed periphery. A syringe accepting fitting is located on the pouch for discharging a treatment drug from a syringe into the pouch interior. The pouch interior is large enough to allow the drug absorbing 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. The pouch can be opened at the time of use to allow access to the drug absorbing medium so that the medium can be applied to a wound site.
