Abstract: A surgical garment configured for attachment to a surgical helmet, wherein the surgical garment defines a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The surgical helmet includes a peripheral device, a chin bar, and a coupling member. The coupling member may be recessed within the chin bar. The surgical garment may comprise an attachment element configured to removably couple with the coupling member of the surgical helmet. The coupling member and attachment member may comprise reciprocal features, such as a protrusion and a recess. The protrusion and/or corresponding recess may comprise a curved or similarly shaped surface configured to resist decoupling of the attachment member and the coupling member when a force is applied to the surgical garment.

Abstract: A face frame including features for coupling the surgical garment to a surgical helmet. The face frame (524) comprises a lower beam (528) connected by a pair of posts (526, 527). The posts of the face frame comprise a face frame coupler (552, 554) configured to removably couple the face frame to a surgical helmet.

Abstract: A surgical helmet for use with a surgical garment and a power source. The surgical helmet may comprise a protrusion extending from a top beam and configured to removably secure the surgical garment to the surgical helmet, and a projection extending transversely from the protrusion to retain the surgical garment. The surgical helmet may also comprise a post and the power source may comprise a plug, wherein the post and the plug comprise complementary features to allow the plug to be rotated about the post without breaking the electrical connection between the plug and the post. The plug may comprise a plurality of electrical contacts, each of the electrical contacts configured to engage one of a plurality of concentric tracks of the post when the plug is coupled to the post and are configured to maintain contact with the specific electrical contacts as the plug is rotated about the post.

Abstract: A surgical helmet (720) for use with a surgical garment (718) and a power source (826). The surgical helmet comprises a protrusion (746) extending from a top beam (729) and configured to removably secure the surgical garment to the surgical helmet, and a projection (754) extending transversely from the protrusion to retain the surgical garment. The surgical helmet may also comprise a post (834) and the power source may comprise a plug (832), wherein the post and the plug comprise complementary features to allow the plug to be rotated about the post without breaking the electrical connection between the plug and the post.

Abstract: A surgical apparel system including a surgical helmet including a peripheral device and surgical garment. The surgical helmet comprising a face frame, a sensor, and a coupling member at least partially disposed within a recess of the face frame. The surgical garment configured to be at least partially disposed over the surgical helmet to provide a barrier between a medical environment and a wearer, the garment comprising an attachment element configured to removably engage the coupling member of the helmet to couple the garment to the helmet. The sensor positioned and configured to detect when the attachment element is engaged with the coupling member and to transmit a signal a controller related to operation of the peripheral device based on the engagement of the attachment element with the coupling member. The controller coupled to the sensor configured to control the peripheral device based on the signal from the sensor.

Abstract: A medical garment for use with a helmet, wherein the garment comprises a shell and a transparent face shield configured to define a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The transparent face shield may comprise a tab configured to be at least partially disposed within an alignment channel of the helmet when the medical garment is attached to the helmet to orient the shell relative to the helmet. The tab may also be separate from the transparent face shield and disposed on the shell of the medical garment. The transparent face shield may also comprise an attachment element configured to removably couple with a coupling member of the helmet, wherein the attachment element and coupling member comprise complementary coupling surfaces.
