Share some crazy or actual ideas you would use supplies and equipment found in the clean utility supply room...

IV gravity lines = used to water your plants indoor if you are always busy at work and have no time to take care of your plants... replace NS bag with water and set the rate to 1ml/hr? hehe...

Sterile cloth covers used to wrap sterile trays = use them as a mat on your car during muddy or rainy days..

100 CC syringes = used for baking. e.g. filling up cream puffs ?

foley /condom cath = Road tripping without pee breaks... ^_^

*disclaimer : taking supplies to home from your facility is considered stealing*

I could help my drunk friends recover faster with an IV and bag of saline. :-)

Forget the foley caths...maybe a condom cath (of course you gotta be a man to use that one I guess)...but yeah straight trip to Disney World then!!

I would really like the blue pads that go on the beds (the disposable ones) that way I would't have to buy pee-pee pads for my dog.

Ooh, do we get a blanket warmer, too?

Adhesive remover for those pesky stick on tags.

A small syringe is the perfect size to waterproof caulk.

Patient belonging bags for garbage can liners.

EKG leads would make darling ribbon for gifts or hair ribbons.

Syringe tubing expiration stickers would work just as well for refrigerated foods.

Those big red biohazard signs would look just right on my boys' bedroom doors...

Graduates for those large drinks during the Superbowl.
Even the clean urinals would work for that.
Emesis basins to hold popcorn/chips and the large pink tubs to serve them in.
Of course we have the adult briefs for us ladies since we can't use the condom caths on those long trips.
Empty syringes as the ultimate shot glass for lemon drops, tequila or Jager
Restraints to tie things down to the luggage rack
Isolation gown for washing the dog and other potentially messy jobs.
