Description
- The present application claims the filing benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/688,036, filed Jun. 7, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to medical equipment, and more particularly, to a surgical tray for operations on a patient's limb or extremity.
- Many emergency room and other surgical operations require a doctor to operate on a patient's limb or extremity. Hands are some of the most commonly operated upon extremities because they are required to complete many tasks and activities and are thus highly at risk to injury. For example, approximately 10 percent or more of typical emergency room operations involve some form of acute hand surgery. Operating on a hand requires a great deal of care because tendons, nerves, and blood vessels must all be meticulously rejoined to assure proper alignment of any lacerated tissues. Additionally, microsurgical techniques are generally required because the tissues that make the functions of the hand possible are small by nature. Control of the position of a patient's hand and fingers during surgery is therefore an important aspect of a successful operation.
- Current techniques for performing hand surgery in the emergency room and elsewhere are inefficient and frustrating. For example, when a patient is rushed into the emergency room with deep laceration or similar hand injury, a surgeon must arrange the patient in the proper position for surgery and gather the necessary materials. Typically this requires positioning the hand on an arm table adjacent to a hospital bed and arranging it in a manner that provides the surgeon with easy access to the intended surgical site. Maintaining the hand in a desired position can be a difficult task when qualified assistants are not readily available, which is often the case during late-night, weekend, or very busy emergency room situations.
- Additionally, gathering the necessary supplies from various areas in the emergency room prior to operation can be a burdensome task. Due to a lack of centralized storage, the surgeon may find himself or herself walking back and forth between the patient and various areas of the room to gather surgical tools, sutures, needles, gauze, and other items required to complete the surgery. The surgeon may experience additional frustration if supply amounts have not been maintained or if items have changed locations.
- As a result of the manner by which items are gathered for surgery, the surgical operation itself becomes more difficult. For example, the various items are typically contained in individual packages and are not designed to be collectively organized in any particular manner. After all of the packages are opened and the items are placed together on a separate instrument table or the like, the surgeon may have to sort through any resulting clutter on the table to find the instrument he or she is looking for. The clutter typically increases throughout the operation as surgeon uses different tools and instruments and places them back on the table. Any increased operating time resulting from the lack of instrument management increases the overall cost of the surgery and can compromise the quality of the operation. Additionally, the lack of instrument management increases the potential of accidental injury from exposed scalpel blades and the like.
- Use of the tools themselves can also be a challenging task. In particular, areas of tissue on the hand typically obstruct access to the surgical site being operated upon. As a result, surgical stays and retractors are used to pull the tissue back. Because assistants are not always available to hold the stays during an operation, many surgeons place some sort of retractor frame around the surgical site. The frames typically include notches that are spaced about a peripheral edge and adapted to secure a portion of the surgical stays, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,274,398. Although such frames may slightly facilitate the surgical operation, they are better suited for (and were originally developed for) areas of the body other than limbs and merely represent an improvised solution for hand surgeries. The ability to use a stay to retract tissue in a desired three-dimensional direction is limited by the spacing of the notches and their position relative to the tissue.
- During the course of the operation, the surgeon must take measures to maintain a sterile surgical site. This typically involves disinfecting and irrigating the surgical site and draining any resulting fluids. Oftentimes the drainage is done in an ad-hoc manner by merely placing a plastic bin or basin under the patient's hand. Such a technique, however, may not sufficiently capture the fluids due to splashing while the fluids are being applied. Moreover, the bin or basin may not be large enough to cover the entire area where drainage is likely to occur and can create a mess when attempting to dispose of its contents. As a result, the surgeon has a more difficult time maintaining a sterile surgical site and reducing his or her own exposure to potentially contaminated and biohazardous fluids.
- Although several attempts have been made to facilitate surgical operations on a patient's extremities, these attempts merely focus on one or few of the challenges associated with the operations and do not adequately ease the burden on surgeons. For example, many surgeons use a sheet of metal (typically aluminum or lead) cut into the shape of a hand to help stabilize and position a patient's extremities. After using straps or the like to attach the patient's hand to the metal sheet, the sheet can be bent into desired positions by applying sufficient force. Variations of this type of hand device are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,798,195, 5,560,375, and 5,855,209. Despite the improvements in stability, however, such devices do not adequately address the challenges associated with tissue retraction, instrument management, and fluid management. Indeed, assistants are still typically required to keep an incision open or to hold nerves, blood vessels, and tendons or the like during surgery.
- The same can be said with respect to various surgical tables or trays that have been developed facilitate surgery on a patient's extremities. In particular, although most of the tables provide some means for securing a hand or the like during surgery, the tables still limit the manner by which surgical stays may be used to retract tissue. As shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,779,211, 4,082,257, 4,807,864, and 6,077,221, the tables typically include notches around a peripheral edge to secure a portion of the surgical stays. This row of notches, or “Scott fencing,” suffers from the same drawbacks as the notched framing discussed above—the desired direction of retraction is limited by the spacing of the notches and their position in 3 dimensions relative to the tissue. If blood vessels need to be held in a particular manner or if tissue needs to be retracted in a direction away from the plane formed by the fencing and surgical table, one or more assistants will be needed to manually complete these tasks.
- As can be appreciated, there is a need for a surgical tray that helps reduce the frustration surgeons currently experience when attempting to operate on a patient's limb or extremity. A surgical tray is needed to address the issues of hand positioning, tissue retraction, instrument and sharps management, and irrigation/waste fluids management without significantly compromising the comfort and wellbeing of the patient.
- The present invention overcomes the foregoing and other shortcomings and drawbacks of surgical trays heretofore known. While the invention will be described in connection with certain embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to these embodiments. On the contrary, the invention includes all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- The present invention provides a surgical tray that facilitates surgical operations on a patient's limb or extremity. In particular, the surgical tray is configured to retain a patient's limb and retract tissue or the like to reduce the surgeon's reliance upon medical assistants to complete a surgical operation. The surgical tray is also configured to provide an organized, sterile field for an operation by incorporating integral irrigation/waste fluids management, instrument management, and sharps management.
- To this end, a surgical tray according to the invention generally comprises a surgical site board adapted to support a portion of a patient's body, such as a hand. The site board also includes a plurality of apertures. A retention device or retraction device is removably securable in at least one of the apertures to retain or retract a portion of the patient's body. More specifically, a retention device is configured to overlap and retain a portion of the patient's body, such as the patient's fingers. The retention device may therefore be a rigid component shaped for this purpose or a component moldable to a desired shape. For example, the retention device may include an anchor configured to be inserted into one of the apertures and a body portion formed from a malleable sheet of material. Alternatively, the retention device may comprise a pliable wire configured to be at least partially inserted into one of the apertures and a cushioning layer surrounding at least a portion of the wire.
- The retraction device, on the other hand, is configured to retract tissue or the like to provide the surgeon with increased access to the intended surgical site on the patient's extremity. In general, the retraction device comprises a post member configured to be retained in one of the apertures and a surgical stay configured to be secured to the post member. Similar to the retention device, the post member may be a rigid component or a component moldable to a desired shape. For example, in one embodiment, the post member includes a body having edges and a plurality of notches spaced along the edges. The notches are configured to retain a portion of the surgical stay during a surgical operation. Thus, the surgical stay may be secured to the appropriate notch depending upon the desired angle of retraction in each of the x, y, and z planes.
- In another aspect of the invention, the surgical tray further includes a housing configured to support the surgical site board. The housing defines a basin positioned below the site board for collecting any fluids that may drain through the plurality of apertures during a surgical operation. For example, irrigation fluid applied to the surgical site, or bodily fluids, may drain through the apertures into the basin. Gutters and run-off guides may be provided around the site board to direct drainage fluids into the basin as well. The basin may be drained manually after an operation, using an integrated pour spout or aperture, or continuously during the operation by attaching a vacuum hose or drain to a port communicating with the basin. Thus, in addition to helping prevent the spillage of blood, disinfectants, and washes, the integrated fluid management system of the surgical tray may retain waste liquids and other fluids for convenient disposal.
- The housing may also include one or more storage compartments positioned proximate to the site board. The storage compartments may contain all of the medications and instruments commonly needed for surgery on a patient's extremity, including sutures, disinfectants, dressing materials, anesthetics, and the retention and retraction devices discussed above. Thus, the surgical tray reduces the need for a surgeon to walk back and forth between various areas in an operating room to gather the necessary materials for a surgical procedure. If desired, the storage compartments may be sterilized and sealed when the surgical tray is produced so that the surgeon need only open the compartments to make sterile surgical instruments readily available for use.
- During an operation, the surgical instruments and suture needles may be inserted into one or more foam pads received by the housing. For example, one or more foam islands may be received by the housing adjacent to the site board. Scalpels, scissors, forceps, and other surgical instruments are supported by the foam when inserted therein so that they are readily available for use or reuse during an operation. Alternatively, the foam islands, other areas of the housing, or the site board itself may include a plurality of pre-formed holes or slots for receiving the surgical instruments.
- By virtue of the foregoing, there is thus provided a surgical tray that reduces the time and frustration occasionally experienced by surgeons when preparing for and performing a surgical operation on a patient's limb or extremity. The retention and retraction devices cooperate with the apertures in the site board to secure the extremity and provide the surgeon with visual access to the intended surgical site without relying upon additional personnel. Integrated fluid management improves overall cleanliness during operations and facilitates disposal of contaminated waste liquids, while integrated sharps and instrument management helps increase overall efficiency and prevents misplacement of items. In addition, safety is promoted by providing containment of biohazardous liquids and protection from exposure to needles, scalpels, and other sharps.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be made apparent from the accompanying drawings and the description thereof.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional perspective view taken along line 10-10 inFIG. 9 ; and -
FIGS. 11 and 12 are perspective views illustrating a disposal bag included in the tray ofFIG. 1 . - With reference to
FIG. 1 , asurgical tray 10 according to one embodiment of the invention is shown. Thesurgical tray 10 generally comprises asurgical site board 12 adapted to support a portion of a patient's body and ahousing 14 configured to support thesite board 12. AlthoughFIG. 1 illustrates thesite board 12 being used to support a patient'shand 16, those skilled in the art will appreciate that thetray 10 may also be used during surgical operations on other areas of the patient's body or on small animals. Additionally, although thesurgical tray 10 may be particularly advantageous for emergency-room situations, thetray 10 may also be utilized for small outpatient operative areas, treatment rooms, minor surgical procedure rooms, clinics, military field hospitals, and anywhere extremity surgery can be done. In such environments thetray 10 may be secured to an operating table 18 by one ormore straps 22 connected to thehousing 14. Thestraps 22 may be secured by lockingdevices 19, velcro, knots, a pin and belt holes, or any other suitable method. - Both the
site board 12 andhousing 14 may be constructed from plastic, although other materials are possible as well. For example, thesite board 12 orhousing 14 may alternatively be constructed from foam or a similar material. In one embodiment, thehousing 14 is adapted to receive one or more foam pads orislands 20 for the management of sharps and other surgical instruments. Thefoam islands 20 may be a polyurethane, polyethylene, or similar foam having a density sufficient to support the instruments at the angles with which they are inserted therein. For example,FIG. 1 showsscissors 24 and asurgical knife 26 inserted into thefoam islands 20 at various angles. Because the instruments are inserted at angles with theirrespective grip portions site board 12 andhousing 14, a surgeon can quickly and easily grab the instruments when they are needed during an operation. Thefoam islands 20 may be coupled to thehousing 14 or may be removable components inserted into corresponding pockets (not shown) formed in thehousing 14. Thefoam islands 20 may also have different configurations and be located in various areas on thehousing 14. Thus, althoughFIG. 1 shows first andsecond foam islands 20 on opposite sides of thesite board 12, a foam island may alternatively extend substantially around the periphery of thesite board 12 to form a “racetrack” (not shown) or may be positioned in a localized area of thetray 10, such as in abase area 32 of thehousing 14. - To further facilitate instrument management during surgical operations, the
housing 14 may also include a plurality of pre-formed slots orholes 36 adapted to receivescissors 38 and other surgical instruments. Theslots 36 may be provided in a predetermined matrix array and at desired angles in thehousing 14. Preferably theslots 36 are formed in a compressible material such as foam and define openings sized to provide a close fit for the common instruments provided with thetray 10 or commonly used during surgery. AlthoughFIG. 1 only shows thehousing 14 andfoam islands 20 incorporating thepre-formed slots 36, similar slots or holes may also be provided in thesite board 12. - In one embodiment, a special type of foam island and slot array is provided in the
housing 14 to manage sharps (including suture needles, scalpel blades, and other sharp objects) during a surgical operation. More specifically and with reference toFIG. 2 , thehousing 14 may receive aremovable sharps pad 40 and include one or more needle covers orprotective shields 42 molded, pressed, or otherwise secured in specially designatedslots 36. Thesharps pad 40 is preferably formed from foam, but may alternatively be constructed from other materials pierceable by suture needles 43, such as elastomeric sheets, penetrable films, felts, and the like. A suture count is printed on thesharps pad 40 to identify the type and number of sutures used during the surgical procedure. Upon completing an operation, thesharps pad 40 may be removed intact for disposal in a designated sharps container (not shown) provided by the hospital or clinic.FIG. 2 also illustrates how asyringe 46 may be docked in one of the integrated needle covers 42 to protect the associatedneedle 44 during an operation. - Referring back to
FIG. 1 , thehousing 14 may also include one ormore storage compartments 48 for storing various surgical tools and accessories. For example, in a manner not shown herein, thecompartments 48 may store surgical gloves, syringes, needles, gauze, irrigation splash guards, and other items often used in surgical operations. Thecompartments 48 may also store specific modules or packages containing the various items needed to complete a particular step of the surgical operation, such as a pre-prep module (not shown) containing an alcohol-prewetted swab, a pre-filled anesthetic syringe, and other materials. To prevent contamination prior to use, thecompartments 48 may be sealed by a removable cover (not shown), such as a removable sheet of sterile material, that may be peeled off of thehousing 14 to expose the contents of the associatedcompartment 48. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thesurgical site board 12 includes a plurality ofapertures 34 for the selective placement and positioning ofvarious retention devices retraction devices apertures 34 and configured to retain a portion of the patient's body or retract tissue or the like during a surgical operation, as will be described in greater detail below. A wrist restraint 62 and one or more positioning blocks 64 (FIG. 9 ) may also be secured into theapertures 34 to further immobilize and position the patient'shand 16 during an operation. The positioning blocks 64 may have different shapes, sizes, and contours to provide the surgeon with many options. Additionally, the positioning blocks 64 may alternatively rest upon thesite board 12 without being secured to theapertures 34. In such an embodiment the positioning block may be designed with one or more textured surfaces adapted to create friction between theblock 64 and thesite board 12, thereby preventing thepositioning block 64 from sliding relative to thesite board 12. - Still referring to
FIG. 1 , one ormore flanges 66 having spaced apart notches orfencing 68 may be provided on thehousing 14 orsite board 12 to secure surgical stays 70, which also retract tissue during an operation.Similar flanges housing 14 orsite board 12 so as to be movable between a closed position in which the flange is generally planar with thesite board 12 and an open position in which the flange is angled relative to thesite board 12.FIG. 1 illustratesflange 74 in the closed position andflange 76 in the open position. - Now referring to
FIGS. 3-8 , the retention devices and retraction devices are shown in further detail. Theretention devices FIG. 1 ). Accordingly, the retention devices may be shaped for this purpose or may be moldable to a desired shape.FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate exemplary embodiments of the latter, where theretention device 50 comprises an L-shaped post 86 (FIG. 3 ) or a J-shaped post 88 (FIG. 4 ). Acollar 90 may be integrally formed with or provided on theposts retraction devices 50 do not extend past a certain depth in theapertures 34. - Meanwhile,
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate exemplary embodiments of moldable retention devices. The retention device 52 (FIG. 5 ) comprises awire 96 having aportion 98 configured to be inserted into one of theapertures 34 and a foam orother cushioning layer 100 surrounding at least a portion of thewire 96. The wire may be bent to a desired position upon the application of force, but has sufficient rigidity to hold the shape while retainingfingers 80 or other body parts during a surgical operation. In one embodiment, the gauge of thewire 96 is sized to provide a slight interference fit with theapertures 34 in thesite board 12. Also, if desired, acollar 90 may be provided on thewire 96 much like theretention device 50. And finally, in another embodiment, thewire 96 may be pre-formed in plastic or metal to fit around the finger. - The retention device 54 (
FIG. 6 ) includes abody portion 106 formed from a malleable sheet of material and ananchor 108 configured to be inserted into one of theapertures 34. For example, thebody portion 106 may be formed from a bendable sheet of metal such as aluminum or lead, or from a cold-forming plastic. To provide additional comfort for the patient, theretention device 54 may also include a foam orother cushioning layer 110 on one or both sides of the formable sheet. Alternatively, the device may be pre-formed of plastic or metal to fit over the finger. -
FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate theretraction devices FIG. 7 , theretraction device 56 comprises apost member 116 configured to be retained in one of theapertures 34 and asurgical stay 118 secured to the post member. Like theretention device 50, acollar 90 may be integrally formed with or provided on thepost member 116 to ensure that theretraction device 56 does not extend past a certain depth in theapertures 34. Additionally, post members of various heights and shapes may be provided with thetray 10 so that the surgeon can select theretraction device 56 and secure it into theappropriate aperture 34 according to the desired 3-dimensional angle and position of retraction. - The
retraction device 58 ofFIG. 8 includes abody 126 havingedges 128 and plurality ofnotches 130 spaced along the edges. Thenotches 130 are configured to retain a portion of asurgical stay 132, much like thenotches 68 in theflanges body 126 may be formed from a malleable sheet of material so that theretention device 58 is moldable to a desired shape. Accordingly, theretraction device 58 may further include a foam orcushioning layer 127 on one or both sides of thebody 126 and therefore be constructed in substantially the same manner as theretention device 54, with the addition of thenotches 130 for securing thesurgical stay 132. - Although specific embodiments of retention and retraction devices according to the invention are described above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a wide variety of shapes and configurations are possible for such devices. For example, the retraction device 60 (
FIG. 1 ) may be constructed substantially the same as theretraction device 58 but have a semi-circular configuration. The variety of retention and retraction devices and various locations to which they can be secured to thesite board 12 helps enable the surgeon to retain thehand 16 in a particular manner or retract tissue in a particular direction without relying upon medical assistants. Also note that the retention and retraction devices, along with the other components of thesurgical tray 10, may be made radiolucent so that x-rays may be taken after the patient'shand 16 is positioned or any time during or after the surgical operation. Such an embodiment provides a “hands-free” radiologic positioner that allows x-rays in various planes—anterior, posterior, lateral, or obliques—while providing safety to the operator. -
FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate various fluid management aspects incorporated into thetray 10. In particular,FIG. 9 illustrates how one of the storage compartments 48 may be used as an instrument cleaning station. Thus, during an operation, thecompartment 48 may be filled withcleaning solution 140 and include a foam pad or abrasive material 142 on which to wipe surgical instruments.FIG. 9 also illustrates anirrigation squirt gun 144 configured to drawirrigation fluid 146 from areservoir 148 within thehousing 14. Thereservoir 14 in such an embodiment is a closed storage compartment formed in thehousing 14 and may be filled with irrigation fluid prior to use by opening a lid, door, or port (not shown) on the asurface 150 of thehousing 14 and subsequently pouring the fluid in. In other embodiments, thereservoir 148 may be an open storage compartment and the squirt gun may be configured to manually draw fluid from thereservoir 148. Such a squirt gun may require additional manipulation to dispense the fluid 146 and thus operate much like a syringe. Traditional techniques for irrigating a surgical site may also be used with the invention. - No matter which manner of irrigating the surgical site is employed, however, the
irrigation fluid 146 and bodily fluids may drain through theapertures 34 into a basin 160 (FIG. 10 ) defined by thehousing 14. Thebasin 160 is positioned below thesite board 12 and may include one or more ports (not shown) at abottom end 162 communicating with aportion 164 of a vacuum ordrainage hose 165. Thehose 165 is connected to a collection system 167 so that collected fluids are drawn away from thetray 10 for safe and convenient disposal. Alternatively, thehose 165 may rely upon the force of gravity to direct fluids to a container or area below the operating table 18. To further facilitate drainage into thebasin 160 and towards thebottom end 162, thesite board 12 may be inclined relative to abottom surface 166 defined by thehousing 14. Additionally, a drape 168 (FIG. 1 ) may be provided with the tray to wrap around the patient'sarm 170 and direct fluids to adrainage slot 172 or absorbent material (not shown) positioned at a lower end of thesite board 12. -
FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate a further aspect to assist cleanup of thetray 10 and waste fluids after an operation. As shown in the figure, thetray 10 may include abiohazard waste bag 180 attached to the bottom or side of thehousing 14. Thus, when a surgical operation has been completed, thebag 180 may be pulled out from thetray 10 and turned inside out while being pulled back over the exterior of thetray 10. A sealing surface orstrip 184 may be provided on thebag 180, along withappropriate biohazard markings 186. - While the invention has been illustrated by the description of one or more embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, they are not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and methods and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the scope or spirit of Applicants' general inventive concept.
