A parturition drape (100) includes a drape (101) and a twin pouch assembly (102). The twin pouch assembly defines a first pouch (1101) and a second pouch (1301) attached to a major face of the drape. A flap (103) is attached to the major face of the drape. The flap (103) is selectively insertable into an open end of either the first pouch or the second pouch.

A sensor cartridge according to embodiments of the disclosure is capable of being used with a non-invasive physiological sensor. Certain embodiments of the sensor cartridge protect the sensor from damage, such as damage due to repeated use, reduce the need for sensor sanitization, or both. Further, embodiments of the sensor cartridge are positionable on the user before insertion in the sensor and allow for improved alignment of the treatment site with the sensor. In addition, the sensor cartridge of certain embodiments of the disclosure can be configured to allow a single sensor to comfortably accommodate treatment sites of various sizes such as for both adult and pediatric applications.

A fluid collection system includes a vacuum source, a collection vessel, and a surgical drape. A fluid outflow line is connected between the surgical drape and the collection vessel. The fluid outflow line provides a path for fluid to the collection vessel. A suction line is connected with the collection vessel. The suction line provides suction to draw fluid through the fluid outflow line to the collection vessel. The suction line branches into a first suction line and a second suction line parallel with the first suction line. The first suction line and the second suction line are each connected with the vacuum source. A flow restrictor is disposed along the first suction line. A valve is disposed along the second suction line. The valve is opened in a pulsatile fashion when fluid is present in the surgical drape to increase a level of suction provided to the surgical drape.

A pocket and drape system which provides multiple (e.g., at least two) sterile fields and the methodology for employing said system is provided. The system includes first and second base drape materials each having upper and lower edges edge both extending in a longitudinal direction and first and second side edges both extending in a transverse direction. The first base drape material and the second base drape material also each include a longitudinal fold line. A first zone of pockets is present on a surface of the first base drape material and a second zone of pockets is present on a surface of the second base drape material. The manner in which the base drape materials are folded and joined to each other during assembly (e.g., before sterilization) maintains the sterility of the first and second zone of pockets until each zone is ready for use during a medical procedure.

A device for collecting fluid discharged from a vagina of a woman with the woman seated or lying on a support surface, the device including a receptacle portion for receiving the fluid and a planar portion for inserting under the woman. The receptacle portion has an angled bottom surface and a drain opening for draining fluid from the receptacle portion. Also, an apparatus containing the device and a vessel for collecting and measuring fluid drained from the vessel and a method for collecting and measuring fluid loss by a woman following birth of her child by vaginal delivery.

A medical instrument tray for supporting medical instruments and connecting to a medical vacuum hose and evacuating gases and debris from a procedure area to reduce spread of airborne bacteria, viruses, or other contaminates comprises an upper surface and a laminar air flow suction device. The upper surface supports the medical instruments. The laminar air flow suction device extends below the upper surface and comprises a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is configured to connect to the medical vacuum hose and has a first opening width. The second opening has a second opening width that is wider than the first opening width.

A multi-layer pre-drape apparatus is applied to a patient before the patient is moved into the operating room. The multi-layer pre-drape apparatus includes a lower layer with a center aperture and an upper layer that covers the aperture. The multi-layer pre-drape apparatus can be placed on a sterilized area of the patient to maintain the cleanliness of the incision area. Alternatively, the multi-layer pre-drape apparatus can be placed on the patient and sterilization fluid can be applied to the skin of the patient through the aperture. The patient can then be moved into the operating room and the upper layer of the multi-layer pre-drape can be removed to expose the sterilized area of the patient in the aperture. Additional drapes can be added to the pre-drape apparatus.
