An apparatus is provided including a sterile cover. The sterile cover includes a first portion (202) that defines a first cavity such that the first portion is configured to secure a non-sterile inverter (106) of a wide angle viewing attachment for a microscope within the first cavity. The sterile cover also includes a second portion integral with the first portion. The second portion defines a second cavity continuous with the first cavity. The second portion is configured to secure an imaging lens (201) of the microscope within the second cavity. A method is provided for using the microscope including the apparatus. A method is provided for forming the apparatus.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.

A surgical draping system includes an under-draping, an over-draping, and a connecting draping connected between the under-draping and the over-draping. The surgical draping system is used to establish and maintain a surgical corridor to a surgical site or sites on a patient supported by a surgical table. The surgical draping system can accommodate rotation of the patient on the surgical table, such that the sterile surgical corridor is maintained even during such rotation. The sterile surgical corridor extends through an aperture formed in the over-draping, through an enclosed passageway formed through the connecting draping, and through an aperture formed in the under-draping.

A microscope drape with a structure in which a distance between an objective lens and a surgical field is appropriately set includes: a lens cap attached to or detached from a housing of an objective lens of a surgical microscope; a protective lens attached to a distal end of the lens cap in a state of being inclined with respect to an optical axis of the objective lens to protect the objective lens; a drape body attached to an outer periphery of the protective lens to cover, together with the lens cap, the surgical microscope; and a joint that supports the protective lens with respect to the lens cap so as to change an inclination angle of the protective lens with respect to the optical axis.

A surgical towel clamp apparatus includes a first elongated element having a curved tip and a right finger ring, a second elongated element having a curved tip and a left finger ring, wherein the first and second elongated elements are coupled at a first pivot point, a third elongated element having a straight tip and coupled to the right finger ring, a fourth elongated element having a straight tip and coupled to the left finger ring, wherein the third and fourth elongated elements are coupled at a second pivot point, wherein in an open orientation, the rings are apart, the curved tips are apart, and the straight tips are apart, and wherein in a closed orientation, the left and right finger rings are adjacent, the curved tips are in contact and the straight tips are in contact.

An apparatus for holding a medical device includes: a device sheet perpendicular to the ground; and at least one pocket layer, including a first pocket layer, where the first pocket layer is configured as a single first pocket room in its entirety and has a length enabling the medical device to be laid in the first pocket room without coiling in the presence or absence of one or more suspension elements, and the at least one pocket layer has a structure in which an edge of the at least one pocket layer facing the one or more suspension elements is open and other edges thereof are peripherally attached to the device sheet.

A protective device that protects against nerve compression and injury during medical procedures. The device includes an elongated body having a base, and a retention flap and a closure flap joined to the base. The device further includes a closure operable to join the closure flap to the retention flap. The closure may be provided as adhesive field, magnets, a living hinge, or matable structures, such as teeth/sockets, snaps, etc., or tape, strings, sutures or other external elements may be used for joining the flaps. The body may be pretensioned to remain open, or to urge the body to assume a closed configuration. The body may be formed of foam or other flexible/compressible material so as to readily bend and conform to the body and to act to enclose and organize/confine wires/lines used in a medical procedure, and to act as a cushion between such wires/lines and the body.

A single-use infection control system for a forced air warming machine having hosing connected to the machine including: a closable container having a chamber to receive the machine, the container constructed from air permeable material that prevents infectious airborne particles from entering the chamber; a sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end engaged to an aperture on the container and the sleeve surrounding the hosing; and a filter cap constructed from the air permeable material, disposed at the second end and covering an opening of the hosing.
