A cover for covering a face cradle on a massage table includes a cover body for attachment to the face cradle and a matter catching means attached to the cover body. The matter catching means includes a bag-like body for sealing a face opening in the face cradle and preventing particles such as droplets and droplet nuclei expelled from a mouth and/or nose of the user from flowing therethrough. The cover is thus used for preventing disease transmission through pathogenic matter expelled from the mouth and/or nose of the user.

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.

An apparatus may include a first layer that includes a plurality of inlets and a surface feature; a second layer, where the surface feature opposes the second layer; an outlet, and a pattern defined on at least one of the first layer and the second layer, where the pattern defines a suction path from each inlet of the plurality of inlets to the outlet.

A surgical drain tray assembly includes a fluid impermeable first layer and a porous second layer positioned on the fluid impermeable first layer. The fluid impermeable first layer includes a drain outlet, a basin, and a sloping surface angled toward the basin, the drain outlet being positioned within the basin. The porous second layer may be formed of a foam material and includes a top work surface. Fluids spilled onto the work surface pass through the porous second layer to the fluid impermeable first layer. The sloping surface of the fluid impermeable first layer conveys the fluids toward the basin for draining through the drainage outlet.

A vacuum pad may include a top layer forming a top surface of the vacuum pad; a bottom layer forming a bottom surface of the vacuum pad; and a plurality of spacers located between the top layer and the bottom layer such that an interior space is formed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The interior space may have at least one channel extending around at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers. The vacuum pad may also include an outlet tube in fluid communication with the interior space, where the top layer includes a plurality of holes. A vacuum system may include the vacuum pad along with a canister and a vacuum source for moving fluid from the vacuum pad to the canister.

A veterinary procedure table system includes a procedure table having an animal support surface assembly supported by a vertical column, wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between first and second tilted orientations, and wherein the animal support surface assembly is movable between a first animal support surface height position and a second animal support surface height position, and a back table coupled to the vertical column of the procedure table, wherein the back table is movable between a first position relative to the procedure table and a second positon relative to the procedure table, wherein the back table moves with the animal support surface assembly between the first animal support surface height position and the second animal support surface height position, and wherein the back table does not tilt with the animal support surface assembly between the first tilted orientation and the second tilted orientation.

A device for collecting fluid discharged from a vagina of a woman with the woman seated or lying on a support surface, the device including a receptacle portion for receiving the fluid and a planar portion for inserting under the woman. The receptacle portion has an angled bottom surface and a drain opening for draining fluid from the receptacle portion. Also, an apparatus containing the device and a vessel for collecting and measuring fluid drained from the vessel and a method for collecting and measuring fluid loss by a woman following birth of her child by vaginal delivery.
