Aerodynamic rail covers
An aerodynamic rail cover for an operating room with laminar airflow is provided. The rail cover comprises a rail cover component configured to be movably attached to a support rail of a ceiling mounted support arrangement of a medical imaging system. The rail cover component comprises a base element and an air guiding surface element connected to the base element. The base element is configured to be attached to a portion of the support rail of the ceiling mounted support arrangement. The air guiding surface element forms an air guide to be mounted at least temporarily to cover a portion of the support rail of the ceiling mounted support arrangement. The air guiding surface element comprises two surface parts that extend from starting edges on opposite sides of the base element to a common trailing edge.
Systems and instruments for tissue sealing
Provided is a robotic system that includes a surgical instrument with a wrist including an elongate shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a wrist extending from the distal end of the elongate shaft, and an end effector extending from the wrist. The end effector may include a first jaw and a second jaw, the first and second jaw being moveable between an open position in which ends of the jaws are separated from each other, and a closed position in which the ends of the jaws are closer to each other as compared to the open position. The surgical instrument may also include at least one rotary cutter extending from the wrist and positioned at least partially within a recess formed in a face of the first jaw.
Flexible bracket system for medical apparatuses
A support device (10) forms a medical apparatuses bracket system and functions as a bracket system for medical apparatuses (12). The support device (10) includes a central vertical, or at least essentially vertical, column (14) and at least one tine (20) and optionally two or more tines (20). The tine (20) or tines (20) is/are oriented obliquely to a crossbeam (22) mounted on the column (14).

MEDICAL IMAGING WITH INTEGRATED AIR GUIDANCE
The present invention relates to a medical X-ray imaging arrangement and to a medical imaging system. In order to provide an improved air-supply for operating areas, a medical X-ray imaging arrangement (10) is provided that comprises an X-ray image acquisition device (12), a movable carriage (16), and an air-supply (30) for an operating zone. The carriage is movably mountable to a ceiling of an operating room. The X-ray image acquisition device comprises an X-ray source, and the X-ray image acquisition device is movably mounted to the movable carriage for acquiring image information of an object. Further, the air-supply comprises a plurality of air outlets (32) provided on a bottom side (34) of the carriage arranged to provide treated air from an air-feed (36) as a primary laminar downflow defining a carriage laminar flow zone (38) for the operating zone.
ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOWER LIMB ELEVATION AND STABILIZATION
In the context of medical recovery from injury and/or surgery to a lower extremity, a device may be used to provide elevation and support for a patient's foot, including ankle and heal, along with restraint against rotation of the lower leg of a patient. This can protect the knee from injury. The device may include a generally flat main body, two spaced-apart lateral ridges extending along or near lateral edges of the generally flat main body, and a medial depression between the lateral ridges that provides a support surface on which the ankle may be positioned.

Integrated operating room lighting and patient warming system—design and components
A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient includes a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table and a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections. At least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections includes a power connector for connection to an external power source. Each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads includes a foam insulation layer, a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector, an isothermal layer, and a flexible waterproof layer. Power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad can be used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.
