A surgical garment configured for attachment to a surgical helmet, wherein the surgical garment defines a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The surgical helmet includes a peripheral device, a chin bar, and a coupling member. The coupling member may be recessed within the chin bar. The surgical garment may comprise an attachment element configured to removably couple with the coupling member of the surgical helmet. The coupling member and attachment member may comprise reciprocal features, such as a protrusion and a recess. The protrusion and/or corresponding recess may comprise a curved or similarly shaped surface configured to resist decoupling of the attachment member and the coupling member when a force is applied to the surgical garment.

Method of operating a surgical apparel system including a surgical helmet and surgical garment

A face frame including features for coupling the surgical garment to a surgical helmet. The face frame () comprises a lower beam () connected by a pair of posts (). The posts of the face frame comprise a face frame coupler () configured to removably couple the face frame to a surgical helmet.

Surgical helmet assembly with a reconfigurable chin bar

A surgical helmet () for use with a surgical garment () and a power source (). The surgical helmet comprises a protrusion () extending from a top beam () and configured to removably secure the surgical garment to the surgical helmet, and a projection () extending transversely from the protrusion to retain the surgical garment. The surgical helmet may also comprise a post () and the power source may comprise a plug (), wherein the post and the plug comprise complementary features to allow the plug to be rotated about the post without breaking the electrical connection between the plug and the post.

Personal protection system including medical garment with a shield

Surgical face shield

A self-adjustable surgical garment includes a front defining a centerline, a back, and two sides connecting the front and the back. The self-adjustable surgical garment also includes a strap having a first end portion, a second end portion opposite the first end portion, and a fastening portion. The strap is attached at the first end portion to the back. Additionally, the fastening portion is removably coupled to a portion of the garment such that the second end portion is in a sterile zone of a wearer. The region corresponding to a sterile zone of the wearer being at least partially defined as a region within ninety degrees in either direction of the centerline.

Surgical garment and methods of adjusting the same

A medical garment for use with a helmet, wherein the garment comprises a shell and a transparent face shield configured to define a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The transparent face shield may comprise a tab configured to be at least partially disposed within an alignment channel of the helmet when the medical garment is attached to the helmet to orient the shell relative to the helmet. The tab may also be separate from the transparent face shield and disposed on the shell of the medical garment. The transparent face shield may also comprise an attachment element configured to removably couple with a coupling member of the helmet, wherein the attachment element and coupling member comprise complementary coupling surfaces.

Surgical apparel system

A surgical garment for use with a helmet, wherein the garment comprises a shell, a transparent face shield, and an attachment element coupled to the transparent face shield. The garment may be configured to define a barrier between the wearer and the environment. The attachment element configured to removably couple with a coupling member of the helmet, wherein the attachment element and coupling member comprise complementary coupling surfaces. The attachment element comprises a head having a distal surface and a proximal surface, and defining a coupling recess, the coupling recess is defined in the proximal surface of the head. The garment may comprise a first and second attachment element, with the first attachment element being coupled to upper portion of the transparent face shield and the second attachment element being coupled to lower portion of the transparent face shield.
