  • Patent number: 4007741
    Abstract: A transurethral resection apron system having ties adapted for securing one end of the apron to a urological operating table and the opposite end of the apron about the surgeon's neck, including two generally pentagonal flexible water impervious panels joined along two of their sides to define a capture region for fluids and particles expelled from the bladder during transurethral resections. The apron drains into an outlet in fluid communication with a strainer assembly for filtering out resected particles entrained in the expelled fluids, the fluids passing into a discharge hose for disposal at a remote location. The strainer element may be removed from the strainer assembly and resected particles collected for pathological analysis.
