  • Publication number: 20230404694
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical drape to be used in conjunction with a surgical procedure, and more specifically to a surgical drape that includes one or more of the following: (1) a patient drape for use with a standalone non-draped image acquisition device (requiring circumferential access to the patient); (2) a patient drape for use with a standalone non-draped image acquisition device with image guidance navigation technology; (3) the means to provide temporary sterile coverage of an underlying sterile field; (4) the means to provide sterile separation of at least a portion, if not the entire temporary sterile coverage; (5) the means to provide covering of the undersurface of the operating surface and enclosing any suspended medical devices, wires, cables, tubes, etc; and (6) a single-use disposable outer surgical drape that ensures sterility of a covered surgical apparatus, device, or machine, or an inner drape associated therewith.

  • Publication number: 20200155260
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a sterile radiological drape designed to isolate the non-sterile portions of medical equipment used during surgery from the sterile zone adjacent to where medical procedures are performed are described. In one embodiment the flexible sterile drape enclosure may be incorporated into the patient drape allowing for protection and draping of both the patient and the medical equipment. In another embodiment the drape comprises a board with a hole formed therein and a sterile enclosure mounted thereto atop of a Mayo stand. This hole allows for the medical equipment to rotate into the sterile enclosure in close proximity with the sterile zone without contaminating it. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the sterile drape is easy to apply and may be moved multiple times during the surgery, which reduces the length of a medical procedure as well as the cost associated therewith.

  • Publication number: 20200060780
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a sterile drape with a surgical table are described. The system includes a sterile drape and at least one securement device that secure the sterile drape to the surgical table. The securement device may be an adhesive sticker having a perforation. Because of the perforation, the sticker is prone to break under small levels of force exerted on the sticker. In this way, a user can visually determine whether potential breaches of sterility have occurred when the sticker has broken. Additionally, the system may include magnets, weights, poly-ties, rubber bands, hooks, clips, buckles, adhesive tabs, straps, tape, and the like to secure the sterile drape to the surgical table. In this way, the surgical table can be prepared, the sterile drape can be installed, and the drape can be secured to the table to prevent breaches of sterility.
