INFLATABLE SYSTEM FOR ISOLATION OF SURGICAL SITE ENVIRONMENTS

Portable surgical systems for regulating intra-operative environments over surgical sites are disclosed. The surgical systems include a flexible surgical enclosure configured to be attached to the surgical site of a patient. The enclosure enables operators to perform surgery on the surgical site from inside the enclosure. The enclosure may further include a patient-limb-port configured to enable the patient to insert an arm or a leg into the enclosure so that a limb-surgical-site is disposed inside the enclosure. The surgical system may further include an active environment control unit with one or multiple sensors. The surgical system prevents outer environment contaminants from reaching the surgical site while providing a barrier protecting operators from exposure to blood and biological matter generated during the surgery. The portable surgical system is used to perform surgery in environments other than operating rooms, such as outdoors, in tents, in cottages, and non-sterile rooms.

Enclosures Including Systems and Methods Thereof for Establishing a Sterile Environment for a Medical Procedure

A sterile environment system can include an enclosure and a support system. The enclosure can include a barrier separating a sterile environment inside of the enclosure from a non-sterile environment outside of the enclosure. The barrier can include an expandable portion configured to expand from an unexpanded state to an expanded state for working within the sterile environment, and a patient-interfacing portion including a fenestration configured for placement directly over an area of interest of a patient, the fenestration having a sealed state and an unsealed state for access to the area of interest from within the sterile environment. The support system can be coupled to the patient-interfacing portion of the barrier such that it is positioned on at least opposite sides of the fenestration.

There is disclosed a dental device configured to be coupled to a vacuum. In at least one embodiment the device comprises at least one channel coupled to the vacuum and in fluid communication with the vacuum. In addition, there can be at least one hood coupled to the channel, and covering the channel wherein the hood is in fluid communication with said at least one channel. In addition, there can be at least one clip coupled to the hood. Furthermore, said at least one clip extending substantially perpendicularly to said at least one hood and substantially parallel to said at least one channel, wherein the vacuum is configured to create a negative pressure inside of said at least one hood, and wherein said at least one clip is configured to couple to a user's mouth, wherein said hood is positioned adjacent to a user's mouth.

Enclosures including systems and methods thereof for establishing a sterile environment for a medical procedure

Disclosed are enclosures for establishing a sterile environment over a patient for a medical procedure, as well as systems and methods thereof. An enclosure can include an expandable portion of a barrier separating a sterile environment inside of the enclosure from a non-sterile environment outside of the enclosure and a patient-interfacing portion of the barrier. The enclosure can also include a support system coupled to the patient-interfacing portion of the barrier in some embodiments. The patient-interfacing portion of the barrier can include one or more fenestrations for placement directly over one or more areas of interest of the patient, as well as for access to the areas of interest from within the sterile environment. When present, the support system can flank the fenestration. The support system is configured to support the enclosure on a surface when placed over an appendage of the patient or a main body of the patient.

Relocation modules and methods for surgical field

Examples of a module for housing unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment for use during surgery. The module can include a lower section and a tower-like upper section. The lower section can house unrelated electronic and electromechanical equipment. The tower-like upper section can be located on top of the lower section. A water-resistant cowling can enclose at least a portion of the lower section and the tower-like upper section. A cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be protectively housed within the tower-like upper section. The cartridge containing one or more ultraviolet-C producing lights can be configured to emerge upward from a top of the tower-like upper section to substantially seat itself on the top of the tower-like upper section when activated allowing the ultraviolet-C light to disinfect the patient and staff-contacting upper surfaces of the equipment in the operating room.

Sterile surgical drape for ophthalmic surgery

The disclosure herein provides methods, systems, and devices for a sterile ophthalmic surgical drape system that can provide a sterile operating field for use by a doctor, surgeon, nurse, and the like during ophthalmic medical procedures. The sterile field created by the drape system can allow a doctor, surgeon, nurse and the like to perform a medical procedure, such as ophthalmic surgery, outside of an operating room and in locations such as a doctor's office or a military operating room war setting. The sterile ophthalmic surgical drape system can comprise a drape, a frame apparatus, a hole of sufficient size for a microscope, a fan, a filter, air directors, and slits. The drape system can comprise a collapsible frame apparatus. The drape system may be configured to be used in conjunction with a surgical tray that houses pre-sterilized tools for use in a medical procedure.

PORTABLE SYSTEM FOR ISOLATION AND REGULATION OF SURGICAL SITE ENVIRONMENTS
