Sterile wrap

A personal patient warming apparatus includes a blanket having at least one pneumatic pathway formed therethrough and a plurality of orifices formed through at least one side thereof through which warmed air can exit to warm a patient. The blanket further includes a first portion configured to cover a first appendage of the patient when the blanket is disposed over the patient and a second portion configured to cover a second appendage of the patient when the blanket is disposed over the patient. Both the first portion and the second portion each include at least one tear line configured to form, when torn, an opening in the blanket through which at least one of the patient's appendages and an operating room table appendage board is disposed when disposing the blanket over the patient.

Method and apparatus pertaining to securement of a personal patient warming apparatus

A non-inflating flexible warm air distribution manifold that attaches to the patient side of patient gown. This manifold is configured to receive warmed air the of the warm-air receiving orifice and to distribute the warm air over a wide area of the patient side of the gown. By one approach the manifold comprises a flexible baffle. This baffle can be disposed on the patient side of the gown office proximal (in fact, opposite) the warm-air receiving orifice. The baffle has two or more sides that are secured to the gown and two or more sides that are not secured to the gown. Warm air entering the gown through the warm-air receiving orifice can readily pass through the sides that are not secured to the gown while the warm air entering the gown is largely impeded from passing through the sides that are secured to the gown.

Patient-warming gown

A Foley catheter kit includes a surface defining a single layer tray with at least two compartments at least partially separated by a barrier. A first syringe is disposed in a first compartment, while a Foley catheter, coupled to coiled tubing and a fluid drain bag, is disposed within a second compartment. The first compartment defines a lubricating jelly application chamber to lubricate at least a portion of the Foley catheter when the portion is passed from the second compartment to the first compartment. Printed instructions for using the single layer tray can be molded into the single layer tray.

Medical kit, packaging system, instruction insert, and associated methods

A medical drape is disclosed. The drape comprises a base drape portion and an insert drape portion removably attached to the base drape portion. A plurality of independently configured insert drape portions may be used, each insert being configured differently for a different procedure. The base drape portion may be made of environmentally friendly biodegradable material.

A tray stack () for accommodating a catheter assembly () and medical devices () corresponding to catheter use includes a first tray () and second tray (). Each tray () includes a tray opening, a base member (), and sidewalls (). When placed atop each other, they first tray () and second tray () form a tray stack (). When unstacked and placed in a side-by-side, single layer catheter tray assembly (), implements disposed therein can be arranged in a predetermined sequence corresponding to an order of use during a catheterization procedure. Mechanical couplings () can be included to permit the trays to translate with respect to each other. Retention mechanisms (-) can be included to hold the trays together.
