Abstract: Accordingly, on one aspect, an illuminated utility table is provided that includes: a planar table top having a horizontal surface for a package of wrapped instruments to be placed thereon, wherein the table top is at least one of transparent and translucent; a table frame, wherein the table top is removably coupled to the table frame; and a light source, wherein the light source is coupled to the table and configured to shine light vertically upward through the table top for inspection of the package wrapped placed on the table top.

Abstract: A surgical item counting station for providing organization and efficiency in counting items and communicating information. The surgical item counting station comprises a top plate having a diameter forming a table top surface and being adjacent and perpendicular to a display screen mounted on an adjustable column mounted on a base terminating at feet. The display screen is adapted to receive and display information about at least one item and general communications. A shelf having a substantially equal diameter to the top plate and being located below and in parallel to the top plate is provided. The shelf includes shelf side walls with a mounting means adapted for mounting at least one container device below the top plate. Preferably the container device is a sponge count bag. Preferably the shelf is a rotational shelf while the top plate or table top is non-rotational.

Abstract: A shirt supports and shapes the mid-section of a wearer. Support and shape thereby provided minimizes the appearance of the waistline. The shirt includes a top-section and a mid-section having lateral regions constructed to engage with a waistline of the wearer when the shirt is worn. At least two lateral portions are integrated within the lateral regions of the mid-section. These lateral portions are appointed to minimize the appearance of the waistline to optimally provide an hourglass shape. The lateral portions are preferably constructed having a substantially elongated oval shape, and are preferably composed of a substantially non-stretching material. These lateral portions provide support for the lateral abdominal wall of the abdominal region and back of the wearer where “love handles” and thick waists sometimes develop. Advantageously, the shirt may be worn as an undershirt or as outerwear to discretely minimize the wearer's waistline.

Abstract: The shirt for supporting and shaping the mid-section of a wearer provides a shirt having a top-section and a mid-section. The mid-section of the shirt includes an upper and lower region each constructed having a plurality of fabric densities or integrated elasticity portions. These elasticity portions provide support for the abdominal region, back, and back-side regions of the wearer where “love handles” sometime develop. The top-section of the shirt has a substantially loose fitting construction to yield a simple, clean and comfortable fit that facilitates breath-ability and comfort to the wearer. The shirt may be worn as an undershirt or as outerwear to minimize the wearer's torso. In another embodiment, the shirt further comprises an outer portion that extends over and covers the mid-section so that the mid-section acts as an internal support structure when the shirt is worn as a T-shirt or outerwear.
