Many medical procedures require X-ray imaging on the patient, but it can be difficult in certain situations too use standard imaging equipment. This is where C-arms are incorporated to help make it easy to image patients in different angles, positions, and locations that would be difficult or impossible to do with standard imaging equipment. The use of C-arms though can present a sterility concern for patients and medical professionals due to its close proximity to them.

The Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ is a plastic protective barrier to be used with a C-arm. It provides a sterile barrier for the C-arm to reduce potential cross-contamination and intra-operative contamination. This helps increase the likelihood of quality outcomes for medical procedures by reducing any potential infections that may occur from contamination. The design of this product allows the medical professional using the C-arm to easily maneuver and access the patient throughout the procedure. It is also quick and easy to use with the C-arm. The Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ is the optimal cover to utilize with C-arms during medical procedures.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ is a sterile X-ray imaging C-arm cover. This product is configured to be secured to a medical table and to cover a portion of a C-arm, two sidewalls extending from a rotation end to a bottom end. The product may include a front wall extending between the two sidewalls, enabling a medical professional to move around the enclosure to access a patient on the medical table. The enclosure may include a bottom wall coupled to the front wall and the two sidewalls, wherein the two sidewalls, the front wall, and the bottom wall form an envelope configured to receive the portion of the C-arm.

The Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ covers a portion of the non-sterile C-arm that may come in contact with the patient or medical professional during the procedure. This provides a sterile barrier between the C-arm and the sterile field. This sterile barrier protects against accidental contact from intra-operative debris of fluid, bone, cement, and soft tissue that would otherwise contaminate the sterile field and increase the risk for infection. This sterile barrier also helps eliminate cross-contamination concerns from patient to patient when following medical procedures performed with the same device. This helps increase the likelihood of quality medical procedure outcomes by reducing any potential infections that may occur from either form of contamination.

One of the biggest advantages of using the Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ is its minimalist design. The product tightly adheres to the C-arm with a quick and easy process. This is different than many of the current products on the market that are loose on the device, cumbersome to use, and make it very difficult to access the patient throughout the procedure. With the minimalist design of the product, it enables the medical professional to have adequate access to the patient throughout the procedure. It is also quick and easy to have medical professionals adhere the product to the C-arm and then taking it off and disposing it after the procedure concludes.

This product may include one or more securing mechanisms configured to secure the C-arm cover to the medical table, wherein the one or more securing mechanisms are positioned at the rotation end of the enclosure. There are a variety of securing mechanisms that can be used with the product such as hooks or loop fasteners. The product is contained in sterile packaging to ensure the product stays sterile during transport and storage. This helps ensure the safety of the patients and medical professionals that may come in contact with the product. It is also affordable to use and simple to produce. The Portable Sterile C-Arm Cover™ provides a quick, easy to use, and cost-effective solution to keep C-arms sterile and easy to maneuver around during medical procedures.
