Devices in which components of medical kits are carried are identifiable by means other than by the naked eye. The means for identification is attached to or integral with the device and may comprise raised and lowered surfaces that can be read by touch; serrations disposed on an edge or surface; a fluorescent coating viewable under infrared or ultraviolet light; or a pattern that is viewable using a thermal imaging device such as night vision goggles. A package for retaining a medical item includes an identifying element of a material that is selectively viewable in response to light attributes of the material. A device for the visual identification of a package containing a medical item includes an identifying element comprising a material that is visually discernible in reduced-light environments via the use of night vision devices.

1. A medical device comprising: a hemostatic agent;a package in which said hemostatic agent is retained, the package comprising a matte or low-gloss appearance to the naked eye; andan identifying element on said package, said identifying element comprising a material that provides visual accentuation when viewed through a night vision device in reduced light environments, the accentuation generally not visible to the naked eye both in normal light and in reduced light environments;wherein the identifying element is positioned on a location of the package where the package is to be opened. 2. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said identifying element comprises a phosphorescent material. 3. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said identifying element includes a material selected from the group consisting of fluorescent materials; paints, inks, and dyes that emit light when subjected to blacklight; phenyl oxylate esters; and combinations of the foregoing. 4. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the medical device is retained in a pouch configured to retain medical products, wherein the pouch further comprises a second identifying element independently coupled to the pouch with respect to the package, wherein the second identifying element comprises a second material that provides visual accentuation when viewed through a night vision device in reduced light environments, the visual accentuation generally not visible to the naked eye in normal light environments and in reduced light environments. 5. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the material comprises a luminescent material. 6. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the material comprises a chemiluminescent material. 7. The medical device of claim 6, wherein the chemiluminescent material comprises a phenyl oxylate ester. 8. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the material comprises a fluorescent material. 9. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that is visible under infrared light. 10. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that is visible under ultraviolet light. 11. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that emits infrared light. 12. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that absorbs infrared light. 13. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that emits ultraviolet light. 14. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that absorbs ultraviolet light. 15. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the identifying element comprises a material that has a different heat capacity than a heat capacity of a second feature of the identifying element. 16. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said package further comprises an edge being defined by a plurality of surfaces, said surfaces defining a pattern that is recognizable by touching said surfaces. 17. The medical device of claim 16, wherein said pattern is a plurality of serrations. 18. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said identifying element is formed into an indicia that indicates the contents of the package. 19. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said package protects said hemostatic agent from liquid and gaseous contamination. 20. The medical device of claim 1, wherein said identifying element further comprises a pattern of raised and lowered surfaces. 21. The medical device of claim 20, wherein said pattern of raised and lowered surfaces consists of ridges, grooves, buttons, dimples, pimples, holes, Braille nomenclature, or combinations of the foregoing.
