Abstract: The operating room tray system of this invention has a post clamped to a bed rail on the operating table. Above the table level above the sterile field, a tube is slidably mounted on the post and is clampable thereon. A surgical tray is mounted on the tube so that it may be adjusted and clamped above the sterile field.

Abstract: The sponge counting bag is formed of front and back sheets of transparent polymer material which are joined at the edges and bottom to form an open-topped bag. The back sheet extends above the front sheet. The front sheet is folded down to form a cuff, and the lower edge of the cuff is stretched to form wrinkles whereby the lower edge hangs outwardly away from the bag so that the cuff can be manipulated easily to pull the bag open. In one species, the top of the back sheet forms a flap which can be folded down to cover the otherwise open top. This flap is detachably, adhesively attached so that the bag normally remains closed, but can be reopened if necessary. Another species has a plurality of cuffed bags arranged one above the other so that the plurality can be hung from one support.

Abstract: A sterilizable multi-part handle for attachment to a handle receiving fitting of a hospital surgery room light fixture is made of light weight, inexpensive molded plastic parts which are disposable after use, the handle including a handle body having a body grip portion and a threaded head portion to engage the fixture fitting and a disc separate from the handle which is provided with a central aperture via which the disc is assembled to the handle in a snap on fit connection between the handle body and disc. The exemplary connecting means includes a plurality of detents provided on the inner periphery of the disc aperture which snap into and seat within a disc receiving groove provided in the handle body head portion adjacent a disc seating flange against which the disc seats when the handle is turned into tight engagement with the associated light fixture fitting.
