Abstract: A needle safety guard device adapted to attach to a liquid container is provided. The device includes a disk-shaped shield having a medial opening connected with a radial opening between two radial edges. The device also includes a substantially U-shaped holder having two sidewalls coupled substantially perpendicular to the disk-shaped shield along the two radial edges, and a top cover connecting to the two sidewalls and extending from the shield above the radial opening. The U-shaped holder includes a wedged protrusion and a curved protrusion extending from each of the two sidewalls, the curved protrusion being between the top cover and the wedged protrusion for blocking a cap of the liquid container from moving toward the medial opening.

Abstract: A surgical eye drape with a first and second drape sections, each drape section having a wing extending from each edge with a flap for forming a pouch disposed between the wings. The drape sections are disposed above and below an eye with the wings position on opposing sides of the eye and the pouches disposed across the upper and lower eyelids of the eye. The pouches are positioned under the eyelids and the blades of a speculum inserted into the pouches when actuated wrap the drape material around the eyelids which prevents contamination of the eye from bacteria washed from the eyelids during surgical procedures.
