摘要:
Um einen Dauerfilter für einen medizinischen Sterilisationsbehälter so zu verbessern, dass die Nachteile bei der Re-Sterilisierbarkeit von Kunststofffiltern überwunden werden, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der Dauerfilter aus einer Keramik hergestellt ist und dass die Keramik aus globulären Substratkörnern hergestellt ist. Ferner werden ein verbesserter Sterilisationsbehälter sowie ein verbessertes Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Dauerfilters vorgeschlagen.
摘要:
A sterilization container includes a hermetically sealed rigid and impermeable metal bellow valve. Upon pressurization of the external environment with steam the height of the bellow valve is reduced and this opens the valve thereby allowing steam to enter the sterilization container. Reducing the pressure outside of the sterilization container to atmospheric pressure increases the height of the bellow valve and closes the valve, thereby isolating the sterilized objects within the sterilization container.

An ambient lighting system for a hospital operating room environment and a method of using said system is described. An apparatus comprising the combination of a translucent sheet and a backlight LED panel or colored light source (colored lamp(s) or LED(s) in an alcove) provides a diffuse light when light from said panel, alcove, or other source is presented to the translucent sheet, is scattered, and represented as unfocused light on the exposed surface of the translucent sheet. Usage of the apparatus in an operating room provides a calming environment. The method and apparatus may be adapted to include wireless control over the intensity, color, and on/off state of the light. Further, usage of known translucent materials provides a sterile and safe surface.

An incrementally adjustable wound retractor, which provides access to a body cavity, includes an inner ring having a diameter greater than the desired diameter of the wound incision, an outer ring having an annular axis and a diameter greater than the desired diameter of the wound incision, and a flexible sleeve disposed in a generally cylindrical form between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring includes first and second circular tubes spaced apart axially with each including a lumen having a rigid, noncompliant split hoop placed therein. The outer ring may be rolled over itself and around the annular axis to retract the sleeve with sufficient force to stretch the incision to the desired diameter. A gel cap seal may be coupled to the outer ring outside of the biological body to seal the opening produced by the wound retractor between the body cavity and outside the body cavity.

摘要:
The present invention provides a lid (32) for a waste container (10) having a first portion (32a) pivotably connected to a second portion (32b). The first portion (32a) includes a first handle (44a) and a first protrusion (58a) and the second portion (32b) includes a second handle (44b) and a second protrusion (58b). The first protrusion (58a) engages the second protrusion (58b) to prevent the first portion (32a) from rotating relative to the second portion (32b) past a threshold angle.
摘要:
A system and method provide for holding and tracking medical instruments (12). The method includes the steps of: associating one or more of the medical instruments (12) with a container (10) and storing that association within a control system associated with the container, each of the medical instruments bearing a machine readable identification tag (60) bearing information about itself; querying a contents of the container with a tag reader (62) to identify which instruments are therein; and determining whether the container contains each of the instruments associated with the container and only those instruments and outputting that determination to a user.
