Disclosed herein is a catheter placement apparatusfor assisting in the placement of a catheter for administering analgesia intraoperatively in conjunction with spinal and other surgeries. The catheter placement apparatuscomprises a guide conduithaving a proximal endand a distal end. The guide conduitcomprises an elongated portionand a delivery arm portionwith a bendforming the transition from the elongated portionto the delivery arm portion. The elongated portion comprises a first conduit componentthat is slidingly attachable to a second conduit component

Methods and apparatus for intraoperative administration of analgesia

A table ( ) for an operating room providing a cantilevered over-patient instrument surface ( ) that can be swiveled away from the operating field without moving the base ( ) of the table. The instrument surface may have two levels ( ) with a variable degree of overlap between the levels to form an instrument surface of a desired area. The instrument surface may further have a curved edge ( ) so that the proximity of the instrument surface to the operating field does not change as the instrument surface is rotated relative to its base. A sterile drape ( ) covers the instrument surface and extends downward to be attached around the table support structure ( ). The drape may be formed of two sections ( ) having overlapping tail portions ( ). The base may include a footpad ( ) for a nurse ( ) working at the table. Spring-loaded rollers ( ) facilitate movement of the table across the floor ( ) while withdrawing under the weight of a nurse standing on the footpad to provide unmoving contact between the base and the floor when the table is in use.

Table for operating room

A sterile surgical drape is adapted to cover the surfaces of a multiple-tiered table such as is typically used for holding surgical instruments. Those drape sections (300,400) for covering surfaces above the bottom surface (200) are fitted so as to avoid impeding access to and visibility of those surfaces immediately beneath. Clear sections (300) of the drape are provided to extend between tiers for improved visualization from behind the table. Cuffs in the flap top section of the drape (410) are also provided for aiding handling and draping of surgical table by hospital personnel. Hook-and-loop fasteners (310) on the back of the clear middle section (300) are provided to be mated to hook-and-loop fasteners (312) on the under portion of the instrument table.
