A device enables easy preparation of a cell culture in a clean environment without introducing a large-scale facility for preparing a high-cleanliness space in the preparation of a cell culture. The device includes a sealed pouch-shaped container including: an internal space having a cleanliness level kept within a range from Class 1 to 9 specified in ISO 14644-1 by an air filter; an operation section that enables operation inside the container from outside the container; and a storage section that stores various materials required for preparing a cell culture.

A disposable, isolating intubation device is described, the device comprising a flexible, spherical compartment inflatable from a collapsible state, the flexible, spherical compartment being substantially transparent and having a closed end and an open end distal from the closed end defining an inside volume for receiving a head, shoulders and a portion of a torso of a patient and methods of using.

Transfer ports for confinement gloveboxes may include a flange sized and shaped to be secured within an opening in a wall of a glovebox. A sleeve may be secured to the flange and define a passage through the flange. A first cap may be removably secured to the sleeve on a first side of the flange and obstruct the passage on the first side. A second cap may be removably secured to the sleeve on a second, opposite side of the flange and obstruct the passage on the second side.

A surgical assisting device for use in a surgical procedure. The surgical assisting device comprises a flexible wall configured to form a chamber capable of assuming a volume larger than 500000 mm3. The surgical assisting device further comprises a closable wall port placed in a first portion of the flexible wall and forming a closable port for transfer between the chamber and the ambient environment, and a closable body port placed in a second portion of the flexible wall and configured to be connected to an incision in the body of the patient and forming a closable port for enabling transfer between the chamber and a cavity in the body of the patient, during the surgical procedure. The chamber has a first volume when the wall port and the body port is at a first distance from each other, and a second smaller volume when the wall port and the body port is at a second, shorter distance from each other.

The present disclosure relates to a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile infectious disease clinic, which is a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic which makes it possible to assemble and disassemble a large number of mobile infectious disease clinics, that allows a test subject to be tested by a healthcare provider using an infectious disease test kit while exposure of the body parts is minimized and the healthcare provider and the test subject are isolated in the booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, that performs sterilization of an infectious disease using an ultraviolet C (UV-C) lamp to reduce the time taken for disinfecting the clinic, and that allows the light radiation intensity of the UV-C lamp to be adaptively adjusted according to the body temperature of the test subject.

The invention relates to a glove device (4), the glove (3) of which is provided for protected intervention in a working chamber (11) of a containment (1) through an access (24) present in a port flange (2). The port flange (2) is built into a front panel (12) or into a wall of a housing (10) of the containment (1) positioned in an installation area (19). Machinery (13) for processing goods to be treated can be provided in the working chamber (11). The glove device (4) is designed as an assembly in the form of an insert which can be inserted into the port flange (2) in a gas-tight manner, said glove device comprising, on one side, a seal (41) which can be removed or is to be opened and, on the other side, a cover part (7) or a shut-off part (5) which is releasable from the assembly, and the vacuum-packed glove (3) between these two sides. The glove device (4) also has a fixing part (40) which is intended for gas-tight fastening to the port flange (2) and between which the seal (41) is gripped. With the cover part (7) or shut-off part (5) seated on the glove device (4) and with the seal (41) in the undamaged state, the seal (41) is visually recognisably concave relative to the front area (45) of the glove device (4) as a result of the negative pressure prevailing therein. In order to preclude unauthorised intervention via the glove (3) in the working chamber (11) through the access (24) present in the port flange (2), the glove device (4) is completed by protective measures.

There is provided an isolator that is capable of improving work efficiency by shortening a sterilization time, and that is capable of securing a sterility assurance level. An isolator, in which a circulation fan above a work room supplies clean air to the work room via a HEPA filter, includes: the work room; a front door provided in a front surface of the work room; a glove provided in the front door; and an air supply unit that causes an air supply HEPA filter to clean air taken in from an air supply airtight damper, and that causes an air supply fan to supply the clean air into the isolator, when work is performed. When a sterilization gas is removed, the air supply unit is configured such that the air supply fan circulates the air inside the isolator through a sterilization gas-removing catalyst.
