    Abstract: A collapsible detection antenna (10) to detect electromagnetic tags (12) of surgical articles (14) in an operating room (16) includes an antenna assembly (18) configured to detect the electromagnetic tags (12). The antenna assembly (18) is configured to move between a deployed configuration and a collapsed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the antenna assembly forms an antenna loop (20) configured to detect the electromagnetic tags (12). The antenna assembly (18) has a greater detection range in the deployed configuration than in the collapsed configuration. The deployed configuration corresponds to a tuned shape of the antenna assembly (18) sufficient to detect the electromagnetic tags (12) in the deployed configuration.

    Abstract: A personal protection system including a surgical garment that may be mounted to a helmet including an electrically powered assembly, such as a fan. The garment includes a shell adapted for being disposed over the helmet of the personal protection system. The garment also includes a transparent face shield coupled to the shell and an indicia, the indicia being an optically perceivable marking on the garment. The garment may also include a memory, the memory for storing data for regulating the operation of the electrically powered assembly mounted to the helmet. The helmet may also include a sensor for detecting the indicia to selectively allow the actuation of the electrically powered assembly based on the presence or absence of the indicia being positioned adjacent the sensor.

    Abstract: A head unit system (24) for a head (22) of a user (20), including a headpiece (26) for being worn over the head (22) with a support structure (28) shaped to be worn over the head (22). A shield mount (30) attached to the support structure (28) is arranged for supporting a face shield (32) adjacent to the head (22). A headpiece connector (34) is attached to the support structure (28) and has a headpiece contact (36) configured for electrical connection. First and second peripheral devices are provided for being secured to the headpiece (26) for concurrent movement, and each respectively has a device connector (40) with a device contact (42) configured for electrical connection. The device connectors (40) and the headpiece connector (34) cooperate to releasably attach one of the respective peripheral devices to the headpiece (26) in a secured configuration (44) with the respective headpiece contact (36) and the device contact (42) abutting in the secured configuration (44) so as to facilitate electrical connection between the headpiece (26) and the secured peripheral device.
