HIGHLY ABSORBENT SURGICAL DRAPE
A disposable, multiple layer surgical drape is provided. The surgical drape includes a bottom layer configured as a fluid impervious layer, a middle layer configured as a fluid absorbent layer, and a top layer configured as a fluid repellent layer. The middle layer is disposed between the top and bottom layers and has varying thickness. The top layer includes one or more continuity breaks exposing the middle layer.
Surgical drape with sterile barrier
A surgical drape is configured for covering a patient and an ultrasonography probe during surgical treatment of the patient. The surgical drape may include a first portion that includes a canopy portion. The canopy portion can be sized and shaped to at least partially cover a mechanical arm coupled to the ultrasonography probe and a proximal portion of the ultrasonography probe, and the canopy portion can be configured to move with the proximal portion of the ultrasonography probe when the ultrasonography probe is supported by the mechanical arm. A second portion can be coupled to the first portion, in which the second portion is sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of a torso of the patient.
Method for placing implant using robotic system
A method for placing an implant on a patient in a robotic surgical procedure using a robotic system. During the robotic surgical procedure, a navigation system tracks the patient. The navigation system also provides information to the robotic system to guide movement of a cutting tool to remove material from the patient such that a cut surface is created to receive the implant. The implant is then robotically placed on the cut surface.
Surgical drape configured for peripherally inserted central catheter procedures
A medical drape (100) includes an upper portion (101) and a lower portion (102). The upper portion (101) can be pellucid, while the lower portion (102) can be opaque. To facilitate central catheter insertion, the upper portion (101) can define one or more apertures (104,105) through which a central line may be inserted. A tourniquet (401) may be integrated with the drape, as can one or more tool-less removal features (108,109).
Dressing
A dressing includes a drape, a pressure-sensitive acrylic-based adhesive on a skin-facing surface of the drape, an island of absorbent material, a silicone gel backing film, and a silicone gel on the silicone gel backing film. The drape is a thin film capable of maintaining a negative pressure underneath the drape upon application of a vacuum. The island of absorbent material has a smaller area than the drape and is applied onto the skin-facing surface of the drape. The silicone gel backing film has a frame shape and a smaller footprint than the drape and a larger footprint than the island of absorbent material.
FEMORAL DRAPE
A sterile femoral drape intended to be placed over a surgical patient lying on an operating table to isolate the patient during the surgical procedure, the drape comprising a top sheet of bio-impermeable material of a length and width greater than a conventional operating table such that the top sheet fully encompasses the patient and drapes over the lateral side edges and the bottom (foot) edge of the table. Femoral access holes located proximate to the patient's groin are provided to allow access to the patient's femoral artery during heart catheterizations or other surgical procedures. The drape comprises left and right arm pockets formed underneath the bio-impermeable sheet into which the patient's respective left and right arms are inserted. The patient's arms being positioned within and supported within the arm pockets, fully isolates the patient's arms and hands from the femoral access site, thereby assuring that the patient's hands do not contaminate the femoral access site.
C-ARM HEAD COVER
The present invention relates to a C-arm head cover. The C-arm head cover according to the present invention comprises: a fixed unit which includes a fixing means, and is capable of being fixed to a predetermined object; a first cover which extends from the fixed unit, and has a foldable structure; and a second cover which extends from the first cover, and is bent downward, wherein when the C-arm head rotates 180 degrees from an upright position around a C-arm table for supporting a person to be processed with radiography, the foldable structure of the first cover is unfolded, and then only the first cover or both the first cover and the second cover covers the C-arm head.
Devices for protecting vulnerable sites on patients from liquid contamination and related devices, systems, and methods
A protective device configured in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a cover including a first region that extends over a vulnerable site on a patient and a second region that extends over an area on the patient peripheral to the vulnerable site. The first region of the cover is at least generally impermeable to liquid water. The device further includes an adhesive film and a liquid-absorbing element. The adhesive film is configured to form an adhesive bond between the second region of the cover and the patient. The bond has an inner edge portion positioned toward the vulnerable site and an outer edge portion positioned away from the vulnerable site. The liquid-absorbing element is configured to absorb liquid contamination at the outer edge portion of the bond and/or liquid contamination approaching the outer edge portion of the bond when the cover is operably positioned on the patient.
Interventional drape comprising a patient interventional drape and a barrier drape
A patient interventional drape for covering a person has at least one fenestration. A barrier drape is attached to the patient interventional drape. The barrier drape has at least one sterile cover. The barrier drape is attached to the patient interventional drape next to the at least one fenestration, thereby providing a sterile procedure area at the fenestration and a non-sterile area at the other side of the barrier drape, whereby a non-sterile person can handle procedural devices such as an ultrasonic transducer in the non-sterile area and provide the procedural devices to a healthcare person in the sterile procedure area when needed without any risk of contaminating the sterile procedure area.
Surgical C-section drape with tunnel
Disclosed is a surgical drape configured to selectively allow or block a patient's view of a surgical field, as is desired particularly in Caesarean section operations. Generally, the surgical drape includes a mainsheet and a screen connected to the mainsheet. The mainsheet is equipped with a surgical fenestration and the screen is equipped with a screen fenestration and a flexible tunnel material forming a tunnel between a surgeon-facing side of the screen and a patient-facing side of the screen. The drape is equipped with at least one flap that covers the screen fenestration during the surgical procedure. Upon birth, the infant is passed through the tunnel to greet the mother, and a flap is then closed to cover the screen fenestration.
