Removable device covers

The present disclosure provides example device covers implementing differential adhesive systems allowing for clean removal of the cover after a prolonged dwell period. An example device cover comprises a bore section, a first drape section extending from a first end of the bore section, and a second drape section extending from a second end of the bore section. A first edge of the first drape section may extend from the first end of the bore section at approximately a 50° angle, a second edge of the first drape section may extend from the first end of the bore section at approximately a 130° angle. The first drape section and second drape section may be symmetrical with respect to each other. The device cover may further comprise one or more adhesive tabs, each comprising an intermediary body with a first acrylic adhesive layer and an opposite second rubber adhesive layer.

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.

An apparatus for protecting an operating field. The apparatus includes a sheet configured to cover a patient’s hair during an operation. A sealing member is provided on or joined to a leading end of the sheet. The sealing member is configured to be applied to a patient’s skin adjacent to an operating field to create a seal between the operating field and the patient’s hair. At least one anchoring member is joined to the sheet adjacent to the leading end of the sheet. The at least one anchoring member is configured to be attached to the patient’s hair adjacent to the operating field to anchor the apparatus to the patient.

PROTECTIVE BARRIER FOR FACE ISOLATION IN OROTRACHEAL MANEUVERS
20230248463 · 2023-08-10 · ·

A protective barrier for face isolation in orotracheal maneuvers, comprising: an essentially rectangular sheet made of a clear plastic material comprising, on its back side, a plurality of first circumferentially arranged fastening means and second cross-sectionally arranged fastening means substantially dividing the sheet in half thereby defining two sections; and at least four sleeves made of a clear plastic material affixed to the sheet in one of the sections defined by the second cross-sectionally arranged fastening means defining an outwardly open arc, wherein said sleeves comprise third fastening means arranged internally and circumferentially on the distal ends of each of the sleeves.

System, apparatus and method for patient positioning prior to, during and/or after medical procedures

A system for positioning a patient before, during or after a medical procedure can include an arm assembly and a surgical drape for use with the arm assembly. The surgical drape can be configured to be placed around a surgical site where an operative procedure is to be conducted. The surgical drape includes a transparent viewing window, multiple handle covers, and an expandable opening on the top side of the surgical drape. Additionally, the surgical drape may also include adhesive components on the bottom side of the drape that may be independently removed in order to affix the drape around a surgical site.

Wound closure systems for reducing surgical site infections comprising incision drapes filled with releasable antimicrobial agents

A surgical incision drape, comprises a flexible substantially flat areal substrate having an upper side and an opposing tissue-facing side, having a longitudinal axis and a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the tissue-facing side; at least one hollow microtubular compartment containing a flowable medical agent, said hollow microtubular compartment positioned to intersect the longitudinal axis and embedded into the substrate or positioned on the substrate.

Sterile surgical drape for use with a C-arm x-ray machine
11766304 · 2023-09-26 ·

The invention is generally directed to a sterile surgical drape designed to provide a sterile barrier with a self-contained, expandable sterile pocket. The sterile surgical drape includes a pocket sized and shaped to accommodate the C-arm of an X-ray machine. The pocket spans the width of the operative site and includes an elastic band along a top edge to ensure that the pocket does not drop below the sterile field when not in use. In this way, the pocket is maintained around the C-arm and the sterile field is preserved during use. The surgical drape can optionally include an adhesive antimicrobial strip configured with an elongated length. The surgical drape can further optionally include one or more pouches sized and shaped to retain surgical instruments or tools.

Surgical drape and method
11224492 · 2022-01-18 ·

A surgical drape is adapted for use by a woman during childbirth. The surgical drape includes a fecal collection panel having top, bottom, and opposing side edges. An adhesive is applied to a top marginal area of the collection panel directly adjacent its top edge. The adhesive is adapted for temporarily holding the top edge of the collection panel below the vagina and above the anus of the woman when disposed in a lithotomy position, while the bottom edge of the collection panel resides beneath the buttocks. The collection panel defines a protected access aperture designed for enabling ready access by a delivery assistant to the anus of the woman during childbirth. The protected aperture comprises a line of perforations extending perpendicular from the top marginal area of the collection panel towards the bottom edge.
