  • Publication number: 20260083526
    Abstract: A splash shield either alone or in combination with a surgical device, such as a cup impactor, is provided to impede the egress of splashing blood, debris, and fluid from contacting surgeons, operating room personnel, and operating room infrastructure during surgery. The splash shield has a blocking surface with a center aperture capable of slidable, attaching movement along a shaft of the cup impactor handle or other surgical instrument. The splash shield has an outer perimeter that is greater than the surgical device shaft's outer perimeter. The center aperture has a resilient inner diameter for forming a fluid-tight, slidable grip with the shaft, or may have a slotted groove for receiving the surgical device. The splash shield can be attached to the surgical device by a clamp.

  • Patent number: 7322626
    Abstract: A vehicle driver security screen and in particular a screen that seeks to minimize access to the driver's area of a vehicle such as a taxi cab or bus from side or rear attempts by passengers to access the driver area in an assault or robbery situation. The security screen is removably attached to the driver's seat in a way that does not restrict the movement of the driver's seat, nor restrict the driver's access or escape from the vehicle. The present invention is useful for drivers of public transport who are regularly exposed to aggressive behavior from passengers. The security screen provides protection to the head and torso regions of the driver while allowing contact with the passengers, such as when money is exchanged. Furthermore, the security screen provides protection to the driver from rear knife attack.
