Self Contained Sterile Surgical Environment
University of California System: University of California, Irvine
posted on 01/10/2012
A novel device based approach for the creation of a sterile, self-contained surgical environment. This device can be a single use or recyclable method of creating a sealed surgical environment that serves as a “mini-operating room” that both increases patient safety and reduces total costs.
Suggested Uses
This invention has utility in all areas of surgery.
Advantages
The current invention provides a device and method for surgery to be performed more efficiently, in less costly environments, and with increased patient safety.
Detailed Description
Currently, surgery is performed in open operating theater environments. This creates the need for establishing and maintaining a large sterile space. This device provides for a smaller, self-contained sterile surgical environment. This device would decrease risks of contamination from external sources, and, by allowing surgery to be performed in less costly environments and with more efficiency, would increase access to patient care and reduce medical costs.
