Abstract: A portable device (10) for containment of contaminated medical objects (18, 19) during a medical procedure includes a container (12) for receiving the contaminated medical objects (18,19) and having an opening (21) through which the contaminated medical objects (18, 19) are placed by the medical practitioner, and a valve (14) in operative association with the opening (21) in the container for precluding egress of the contaminated medical objects (18,19) placed in the container (12). The container (12) is configured to mount on the medical practitioner during the medical procedure, and further includes an apron (25) with a scalloped interior surface (31) for guiding contaminated medical objects (18, 19) through the valve (14) and into the container (12). A holder (16) includes a clamp (40) for grasping the container (12) and further includes a clip (41) to mount the container on an article of the medical practitioner's clothing during the medical procedure.

Abstract: An electro-optical sensor probe (12) for non-invasive monitoring of blood oxygenation levels is engaged with the blood-perfused tissue (23) of a patient by a device (10) having a woven tube (20) that receives the probe (12) and selectively engages the probe (12) and the tissue (23). The tube (20) includes a cuff (27) formed integrally therewith for carrying the probe (12). Once the probe (12) located within cuff (27) is placed into engagement with tissue (23), tube (20) is extended over the tissue (23).
