Abstract
The present invention is directed to novel equipment drapes for use with an Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (IMRI) device. An IMRI device enables medical personnel to obtain magnetic resonance imaging data on a patient and, at the same time, perform surgery on the patient. An IMRI device requires specialty equipment. The present invention is directed to one form of specialty equipment, equipment drapes. Equipment drapes of the present invention have a U-shape or rectangular shape and are attached to the IMRI machine to maintain a sterile field and to provide a barrier against fluids escaping from a surgery patient. In one embodiment, the present invention discloses an equipment drape having a U-shape with a retractable flap positioned with the "U" portion of the drape. In a further embodiment, the present invention discloses an equipment drape having a U-shape with a retractable pouch positioned with the "U" portion of the drape. The pouch is designed to temporarily house surgical instruments during a surgical procedure. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to an equipment drape set which includes four equipment drapes attached to the IMRI device and positioned such that at least a portion of a patient within the IMRI device is partially separated from the surgical team.
