Ultraportable system for intraoperative isolative and regulation of surgical site environments
A portable surgical system including a transparent and flexible plastic enclosure (1) is disclosed. The enclosure is attached reversibly to the patient's body encompassing the surgical site such as to isolate and regulate the immediate environment of the surgical site, and to reduce bodily fluid splatters from the surgical site to the surgical providers. The enclosure is inflated with filtered air. Arm ports (8) are integrated into the enclosure to allow access to the inside of the enclosure by either provider arms or augmenting instrumentation taking the place of arms such as laparoscopes or robots. Material ports (10) maintain enclosure environmental integrity but allow the passing of anatomical specimens, instruments, and other materials into and out of the enclosure (1) during a procedure. The portable surgical system is lightweight and can be used in conventional operating rooms to improve sterility, or in other circumstances where no operating room is available, such as field hospitals.
STERILE SITE APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
Apparatus, system, and methods are provided for reducing infectious agents at a sterile site by preventing infectious agents from coming into contact with the sterile site. A barrier is produced for infectious agents that may come in proximity or otherwise communicate with the site. The apparatus is configured to create a void-free barrier in which infectious agents are reduced with minimal exposure of potentially harmful effects of the barrier to the sterile site, objects, or users of the apparatus.
AIRFRAME SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING AIRFLOW
An air frame system includes a frame body defining one or more openings and a plurality of air passages along an inner periphery of the one or more openings. The air frame system further includes a light assembly removably coupled to the frame body outside of the one or more openings.
Sterile site apparatus, system, and method of using the same
Apparatus, system, and methods are provided for reducing infectious agents at a sterile site by preventing infectious agents from coming into contact with the sterile site. A barrier is produced for infectious agents that may come in proximity or otherwise communicate with the site. The apparatus is configured to create a void-free barrier in which infectious agents are reduced with minimal exposure of potentially harmful effects of the barrier to the sterile site, objects, or users of the apparatus.
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.
Laminar air flow device and system
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.
Sterile site apparatus, system, and method of using the same
Apparatus, system, and methods are provided for reducing infectious agents at a sterile site by preventing infectious agents from coming into contact with the sterile site. A barrier is produced for infectious agents that may come in proximity or otherwise communicate with the site. The apparatus is configured to create a void-free barrier in which infectious agents are reduced with minimal exposure of potentially harmful effects of the barrier to the sterile site, objects, or users of the apparatus.
AIRFLOW-CHANNELING SURGICAL LIGHT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A light system includes a main body defining an internal chamber, a lighting assembly secured to the main body, and an airflow circuit extending around a periphery of the lighting assembly. The lighting assembly includes at least one light unit configured to emit light. The airflow circuit is configured to direct airflow out of the main body underneath the lighting assembly. The lighting assembly also includes an air cleansing device that is configured to cleanse the air passing through the airflow circuit.
