Disclosed are various embodiments for holding and organizing surgical instruments in a surgical environment. In one embodiment, a surgical instrument holder has an elongated body portion with a top surface and a base surface. The base surface is configured to contact a table surface. When a portion of a surgical instrument is laid upon the top surface, the top surface is configured to deform under an applied weight so as to limit movement of the surgical instrument.

A disposable, multiple layer surgical drape is provided. The surgical drape includes a bottom layer configured as a fluid impervious layer, a middle layer configured as a fluid absorbent layer, and a top layer configured as a fluid repellent layer. The middle layer is disposed between the top and bottom layers and has varying thickness. The top layer includes one or more continuity breaks exposing the middle layer.

Systems and methods are provided for a surgical needle counting device for an operating room. An example system includes a collecting enclosure and a counting apparatus having a sensor configured for determining when a needle is dropped into the collecting enclosure. The counting apparatus is configured to maintain a count of needles introduced into a surgical field associated with the operating room and a count of needles accounted for in the counting apparatus.

A device for introducing sterile instruments into an operation chamber or an instrument chamber comprises an introduction frame, a first roller and a second roller rotatable around their respective longitudinal axis and attached to the introduction frame such that the longitudinal axis of the first roller and the longitudinal axis of the second roller are parallel and the first roller and the second roller are movable along an axis extending perpendicular to their respective longitudinal axis. A distance between the first roller and the second roller is defined by a position of a movement of the first and second roller along the axis extending perpendicular to their longitudinal axes. The first and second rollers are biased to contact each other and may be moved along the axis to increase the distance to allow insertion of an instrument through a gap provided by the distance.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a holder for medical tubing. Specific embodiments find particular use in managing reagent replacement tubes which are often used in connection with various types of types of laboratory equipment. In a specific example, one or more magnets are associated with the reagent tubing. The one or more magnets are used to secure the reagent tubing to a portion of the equipment stand or base, the drawer, or any other magnetically responsive surface.

Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

A device for establishing and maintaining a sterile environment for conducting surgical procedures is disclosed. In particular, the tent-like device provides an interior space attachable to a patient's skin to allow surgical treatment of the patient. Several aspects of the invention are directed to devices to be used in connection with such a surgical procedure using the tent-like device. According to the invention, an isolation device for providing a sterile operation chamber above a skin region of a patient is provided, in particular for performing a surgical procedure, said isolation device comprising an inflatable bag coupled to a support frame, the support frame having a transport configuration and an operation configuration. In the transport configuration, the first inflatable bag is confined, such as to have compact dimensions. In the operation configuration, the first inflatable bag is extended, such as to form said sterile operation chamber.

A disposable, multiple layer surgical drape is provided. The surgical drape includes a bottom layer configured as a fluid impervious layer, a middle layer configured as a fluid absorbent layer, and a top layer configured as a fluid repellent layer. The middle layer is disposed between the top and bottom layers and has varying thickness. The top layer includes one or more continuity breaks exposing the middle layer.

A prosthetic attachment for a prosthetic limb. A base is attached to the prosthetic limb. The base has a magnet that is surrounded by base valleys and base peaks. An attachment piece is attached to the prosthetic attachment. The attachment piece also has a magnet that is surrounded by attachment piece valleys and attachment piece peaks. The magnetic force between the base magnet and the attachment piece magnet attracts the prosthetic attachment to the prosthetic limb so that the base peaks and valleys mates with the attachment piece peaks and valleys for a secure removable attachment. In a preferred embodiment a locking device is used to further secure the prosthetic attachment to the prosthetic limb. In a preferred embodiment the prosthetic attachment is a prosthetic hand and the prosthetic limb is a prosthetic arm.
