Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

A detachable motor-powered surgical instrument. The instrument may include a housing that includes at least one engagement member for removably attaching the housing to an actuator arrangement. A motor is supported within the housing for supplying actuation motions to various portions of a surgical end effector coupled to the housing. The housing may include a contact arrangement that is configured to permit power to be supplied to the motor only when the housing is operably attached to the actuator arrangement.

An intracranial prosthesis comprised of a flat body having an interior ultrasound-compatible window and means about the outer portion capable of engaging a plurality of diagnostic instruments and/or intracranial delivery systems so that a practicing medical professional can monitor certain parameters of a patient or deliver therapeutic agents to the patient while using an ultrasound-monitoring device to image the patient's brain. The prosthesis is designed to allow for the continuous, uninterrupted, simultaneous monitoring of a number of parameters of a patient's brain at the patient's bedside.

A surgical procedure kit is disclosed. The surgical procedure kit includes a base, an expansion panel, a first tent panel, and a second tent panel. The kit includes a base with at least one receptacle configured to releasably hold at least one surgical device, an expansion panel with a first edge pivotably coupled to a first edge of the base, and at least one receptacle configured to releasably hold at least one surgical device. The surgical procedure kit also includes a first tent panel having a first edge pivotably coupled to a second edge of the expansion panel, and also includes at least one receptacle configured to releasably hold at least one surgical device, and a second tent panel with a first edge pivotably coupled to a second edge of the first tent panel, and also has at least one receptacle configured to releasably hold at least one surgical device.

A docking station for receiving a hand-held rebound tonometer and a probe container carrying disposable tonometer probes has a docking cavity for receiving a portion of the rebound tonometer and a container receptacle for receiving the probe container. The docking station has an actuation feature arranged to move a cover associated with the probe container from a closed position to an open position as the container is inserted into the container receptacle so that tonometer probes in the container are accessible. The actuation feature may include a projection extending into an entryway leading to the container receptacle for engaging the cover but not the container, such that further insertion of the container moves the cover from the closed to the open position. The docking station may also have a storage recess for receiving an empty probe tube and cap after the probe has been removed from the tube for use.

Portable surgical systems, methods, and kits are described. The surgical systems may include a camera configured to capture images, viewing equipment configured to receive and display the captured images, a processor, and a stand. The camera, the viewing equipment, the processor, and the stand are configured to be housed in a case. Surgery may be performed using the surgical system by retrieving surgical components from the case, assembling the retrieved surgical components into a surgical system, positioning a patient within the surgical system for surgery, configuring the surgical system, performing the surgery with the surgical system, reconfiguring the surgical system during the surgery, disassembling the surgical system after the surgery, and placing the components in the case.

A method for controlling an output of an energy module of a modular energy system. The energy module can comprise a plurality of amplifiers configured to generate a drive signal at a frequency range and a plurality of ports coupled to the plurality of amplifiers. The method includes determining to which port of the plurality of ports the surgical instrument is connected, selectively coupling an amplifier of the plurality of amplifiers to the port of the plurality of ports to which the surgical instrument is connected, and controlling the amplifier to deliver the drive signal for driving the energy modality to the surgical instrument through the port.

Various implementations include a device for holding and supporting a medical instrument in a position. For example, the medical instrument may include a percutaneous procedure apparatus, such as a needle (e.g., biopsy needle, anesthesia needle) or needle holder. In some implementations, the device holds and supports the percutaneous procedure apparatus and liberates the procedure operator's hands from direct beam exposure, which lowers the risk of complications and radiation exposure to patients and procedure operators. The device also increases the effectiveness of the procedure by holding and supporting the apparatus in the intended position.
