Surgical Hair Evacuation Device (Shed) And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2010024, Sep 30, 2010
Filed:
Sep 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/557063
Inventors:
Stephen M. Zappala - Andover MA, US
International Classification:
A61M 1/00
US Classification:
604540
Abstract:
A device and method for the removal and disposal of transected hair from the body of a patient in an operating room or other sterile location. The hand-held device is single-use, latex-free, sterile-packaged, non-conductive, fully disposable and comprises a hollow handle with a projecting wand ending in an enlarged distal tip. The other end of the hollow handle opposite the enlarged distal tip is connected to a vacuum source, such as the one readily available in most operating rooms, via flexible tubing. When the wand and the enlarged distal tip are passed over transected hair, the hair is suctioned into the hand-held device. The hand-held device includes a particulate filter to prevent the suctioned hair from entering the vacuum system, one or more internal circumferential ribs to create a turbulent flow within the handle, a reservoir to collect transected hair, and venturi apertures to regulate the suction pressure.
