Abstract: A sterile sheath configured to enshroud a non-sterile medical device. Certain non-sterile medical equipment, e.g., consoles, computing devices, etc. are not easily sterilizable without damaging the device itself. As such, these non-sterile medical devices remain outside of the sterile field. Engaging sterile medical devices that are within the sterile field with these non-sterile medical devices can compromise the sterility of the sterile field. Disclosed herein is a sheath configured to enshroud a portion of the non-sterile medical device. Further the sheath can include an access port to allow one or more sterile medical devices to engage the non-sterile medical device disposed within the sheath.

Abstract: Connection systems and methods establish safe, routine, functional connections between sterile single patient-use (“SPU”) medical devices and multiple patient-use (“MPU”) medical devices. For example, a connection system can include a male connector associated with an SPU medical device and a female connector associated with an MTV medical device. The male connector can include a flexible member therearound but proximal of a plug of the male connector. The female connector can include a rigid member around an opening of a receptacle of the female connector. The flexible member can conform to the rigid member with a procedural barrier therebetween when the plug of the male connector is inserted into the receptacle of the female connector. Upon insertion of the plug of the male connector into the receptacle of the female connector, one or more functional connections can be established across the procedural barrier between the SPU and MPU medical devices.
