Systems, methods and components thereof for preventing ambient spread of aerosol during a cosmetic, medical or dental procedure are disclosed. The systems and methods utilize a containment unit that includes a rigid or semi-rigid transparent shield and a transparent or translucent flexible bib extending from an outer periphery of the shield. The containment unit covers a portion of a patient while still allowing a professional to view and perform a procedure on that portion of the patient. The systems and methods further utilize an inlet that is usable to facilitate evacuation of air from a confined space created by the containment unit.

Fluid introduction into the patient during surgery can be tracked more accurately. For example, saline is often introduced to a patient to clean an operating site. The saline is taken from a sterile bucket and introduced to the patient. In one described approach, the system senses the volume or weight of fluid in the sterile bucket and determines any decrease in the volume or weight to be an introduction of fluid to the patient. If, however, additional saline is added to the bucket, that addition is not counted in the fluid tracking and the further decrements from that new fluid amount is what is used to track fluid addition to the patient.

Provided is a medical imaging apparatus having an AR-visualization module operably coupled to a camera and to a position determination module, which is adapted to create an AR-image based on an image received from the camera and an AR-overlay positionally registered with the image, and which includes a display interface adapted to transmit the created AR-image to a medical display.

A system for positioning a patient before, during or after a medical procedure can include an arm assembly having a proximal end, an opposing distal end, and at least one joint therebetween. The joint can be configured to permit the distal end of the arm assembly to move with respect to the proximal end of the arm assembly. The proximal end of the arm assembly can be configured to be fixed with respect to a surgical table. The system can also include a ball joint mechanism attached to the distal end of the arm assembly and to a head support configured to support a patient's head. The ball joint mechanism can include a ball joint and a motor. Activation of the motor can permit or prevent movement of the ball joint.

A pocket and drape system which provides multiple (e.g., at least two) sterile fields and the methodology for employing said pocket and drape system is provided. The system includes a base drape material having an upper edge, lower edge, first side edge, and second side edge to define a perimeter, where the base drape material also includes a first (outer) surface and a second (inner) surface. A first zone of pockets is present on a portion of the first surface and a second zone of pockets present on a portion of the second surface. The manner in which the base drape material is folded at first and second longitudinal fold lines and first and second transverse fold lines during assembly (e.g., prior to sterilization) maintains the sterility of the first zone of pockets and the second zone of pockets until each zone is ready for use during a medical procedure.

A device for detecting postpartum hemorrhage is provided. A mat defines a proximal end and a distal end. The mat is configured to be disposed between a support and a patient and has a surface with a fluid flow region configured to direct flow of bodily fluids from the patient towards the distal end of the mat. A first detachable and optionally sealable bag is configured to receive the bodily fluids from the patient in a first operational mode of the device. A second sealable bag is configured to receive the bodily fluids from the patient in a second operational mode of the device. The second sealable bag comprises a visual volume indicator to measure the bodily fluids collected in the second sealable bag.

Disclosed is a protective device comprising a seal portion adapted to be fitted over an orifice of patient, the seal portion having a perimeter adapted to be substantially sealed onto the patient. The protective device has one or more flexible sleeves which provides a substantially air-tight surround defining a passage in communication with said orifice. The or each flexible sleeve, at an end thereof which is distal from said seal portion, has an opening adapted to accept entry of a surgical instrument or scope into said passage. There is sealing member provided at said opening which is adapted to provide a seal around said surgical instrument or scope so that, in use, said surgical instrument or scope and said sealing member provide an airtight seal to substantially prevent leakage of particles from the passage.
