Abstract

Systems and methods for preparing and completing surgical and medical procedures. In particular, kits are provided 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.

Claims

1. A modular kit for decreasing preparation and surgical time for a recanalization procedure in treatment of acute stroke, the modular kit comprising:

a tray comprising a plurality of compartments containing a plurality of equipment modules containing sterilized surgical equipment for surgical site preparation and arterial access or a recanalization procedure, said plurality of equipment modules comprising a surgical site preparation module and an arterial access module, said surgical site preparation module comprising at least one compartment comprising cleaning and draping equipment including at least one surgical drape for a distal arterial access site and cleaning solution, said arterial access module having at least one compartment comprising equipment including at least one of a scalpel, a local anesthetic syringe, local anesthetic, a puncture needle, forceps and an introducer wire; and

outer packaging covering the equipment modules.

2. The kit as in claim 1, wherein the tray comprises a bowl compartment integrally formed with the at least one tray.

3. A modular kit for decreasing preparation and surgical time for a recanalization procedure in treatment of acute stroke, the modular kit comprising:

a modularized bundle of equipment comprising a tray, said tray comprising a plurality of compartments comprising sterilized surgical equipment for surgical site preparation and arterial access or a recanalization procedure, said plurality of equipment modules comprising a surgical site preparation module and an arterial access module, said surgical site preparation module comprising at least one compartment comprising cleaning and draping equipment including at least one surgical drape for a distal arterial access site and cleaning solution, said arterial access module having at least one compartment comprising equipment including at least one of a scalpel, a local anesthetic syringe, local anesthetic, a puncture needle, forceps and an introducer wire; and

outer packaging sealing a single opening of each of the equipment modules to provide each of the equipment modules with a sterile and sealed interior space.
