Patent number: 10398522Abstract: A medical drape has at least one suction port disposed. By one approach the medical drape includes a fenestration and the suction port is disposed within the fenestration. By one approach the fenestrated area includes an incise film (which may itself be fenestrated if desired) and the suction port is disposed through that incise film. Suction applied to this suction port facilitates maintaining the incise film in place on the patient. This suction port can have a first end configured to attach to suction tubing. The medical drape can include a patient-side spacer and this spacer can comprise a compressible, resilient material that is substantially permeable to liquids. If desired, such a spacer can be disposed over a patient-side suction opening of the suction port.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Medline Industries, Inc.Inventors: Francis A. Czajka, Jr., David Preskill, Troy J. Lother

Publication number: 20160135915Abstract: A medical drape has at least one suction port disposed. By one approach the medical drape includes a fenestration and the suction port is disposed within the fenestration. By one approach the fenestrated area includes an incise film (which may itself be fenestrated if desired) and the suction port is disposed through that incise film. Suction applied to this suction port facilitates maintaining the incise film in place on the patient. This suction port can have a first end configured to attach to suction tubing. The medical drape can include a patient-side spacer and this spacer can comprise a compressible, resilient material that is substantially permeable to liquids. If desired, such a spacer can be disposed over a patient-side suction opening of the suction port.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2016Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Francis A.

Patent number: 8783003Abstract: Sterilization wraps have a first side colored at least a first color and an opposing second side colored at least a second color that is different than the first color. These sterilization wraps are then paired such that each of the pairs of sterilization wraps has the aforementioned first sides of the sterilization wraps that comprise the pair of sterilization wraps facing one another. By one approach these pairs of sterilization wraps are un-bonded and hence are not physically connected to one another. By another approach the sterilization wraps that comprise a given pair can be coupled to one another (for example, by an intermingling of the materials that comprise the two sterilization wraps). A plurality of such pairs of sterilization wraps can then be placed in a suitable container to facilitate handling, storage, and shipment.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Medline Industries, Inc.Inventors: Francis A.

Publication number: 20130237983Abstract: A patient-warming apparatus integrally comprises a patient-support substrate, a patient-heating element disposed proximal to the patient-support substrate, and an electrosurgical return electrode that is also disposed proximal to the patient-support substrate. By one approach the electrosurgical return electrode is integral to the patient-heating element. By another approach the electrosurgical return electrode is disposed between the patient-support substrate and the patient-heating element. In all of these cases, if desired, the electrosurgical return electrode comprises a part of a capacitively-coupled electrosurgical return electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Inventors: Andrew Giles, Francis A.
