  • Publication number: 20240194312
    Abstract: A system and related methods of preventing wrong-site surgeries and sharps-related injuries to OR personnel, which includes a computer software program (for use on computers or hand-held devices in the medical environment) in combination with a surgical supply carrier. The surgical supply carrier may be associated with a patient's medical chart (e.g. integrally or otherwise attached to) and is configured to lockably receive therein one or more surgical supplies (e.g. instruments, implants, and/or essential components) needed for the patient's imminent medical procedure. The surgical supply carrier may further comprise an unlocking feature requiring at least two “keys” to unlock the carrier, with each “key” operating to verify that the correct surgical supplies are associated with the correct patient.

  • Publication number: 20200113519
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a chain segment having wires that connect various electrical devices and connectors together are disclosed. The wires are arranged in a pattern to facilitate strain relief. The wires, electrical devices, and connectors are encased in an injection molded material, and they are preferably coupled with a flexible material such as a fabric that can be stitched into a garment. The chain segment facilitates collection of movement data when stitched into an article of clothing. A method of manufacturing the chain segment that is modular to enable different configurations and different lengths of chains.
