Systems and methods for enhancing preparation and completion of surgical and medical procedures
First Claim
1. A modular kit for decreasing preparation and surgical time for a recanalization or revascularization procedure in the treatment of acute stroke and acute myocardial infarction patients comprising:
- at least one tray having a plurality of compartments containing a plurality of equipment modules containing sterilized surgical equipment to conduct individual steps of the procedure, wherein the plurality of equipment modules include;
a surgical site preparation module for a surgical site preparation step of the procedure;
a tube and catheter flushing module for a tube and catheter flushing step of the procedure;
an arterial access module for an arterial access step of the procedure;
a procedure equipment module for a recanalization or revascularization step of the procedure, the procedure equipment module including tube and catheter equipment and at least two clot retrieval devices individually sealed within the procedure equipment module to enable collection and re-use of equipment unused in the procedure; and
an equipment return module having labeling and packaging for packaging unused equipment for return to a manufacturer.

Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for preparing and completing surgical and medical procedures. In particular, the invention relates to kits for improving preparation and completion time for a medical or surgical procedure in which the kit includes modularized compartments containing sterilized medical or surgical equipment and wherein the medical or surgical equipment is organized and/or ordered within the kit to generally correspond to the sequence of steps of the medical or surgical procedure. The kit is particularly applicable to recanalization procedures for stroke patients as well as revascularization procedures for acute myocardial infarction patients where a kit enables faster preparation and completion of these procedures.
