Problems solved by technology

Such uses of the bubble wrap in which a suction nozzle was originally shipped have not, however, met with wide acceptance.
These requirements are such that a broken open, relatively hard plastic package is not particularly well suited to (1) being easily loaded into a nozzle holster, (2) maintaining a relatively soft compression type grip on a suction tube placed in a relatively hard (and hence inflexible) wrapper and (3) being readily tightly resealed for sanitary disposal purposes.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 depicts an operating room 10 wherein a patient 12 lies on an operating table 14 having various bar-like structural members such as horizontal and vertical bars. Applicant's holster apparatus 18 is shown attached to one such bar-like structural member 16 of said operating table 14. This apparatus 18 is shown holstering a medical suction nozzle 20. FIG. 1 also is intended to suggest that the holster 18 can be rotated in order to orient a handle portion of such a nozzle 20 to comport with the desires of individual operating room personnel such as anesthesiologists. These medical suction nozzles 20 are generally used to remove bodily fluids such as secretions, blood and / or stomach contents from a patient's throat and / or mouth so that the patient does not aspirate such fluids into his / her lungs. To this end, vacuum conditions are placed upon an inside bore of medical suction nozzles of this type. The nozzle's rearward end is shown connected to a hose 22 that leads to a fluid...

Abstract

A holster apparatus for a medical suction tube is provided with a cooperating array of individual sterile sacs. Preferably, the cooperating array of individual sacs is a roll of such sacs having a line of perforation between each sac, or a nested array of such sterile sacs.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention is generally concerned with holster apparatus for nozzle components of medical / dental suction devices. It is particularly concerned with maintaining sterile conditions and ready access to such devices during medical / dental operations. [0003] 2. Discussion of the Background [0004] A representative prior art medical suction nozzle holster is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,224,679 (“the '679 patent”). It teaches a medical suction nozzle holster that is designed to hold a sterile bubble wrap in which a suction nozzle was originally shipped. Thus, the sterile bubble wrap also is used to maintain sterile conditions during an operation. After the operation, the bubble wrap (now holding bodily fluids) is then removed from the holster and sent to a sanitary disposal point. [0005] Such uses of the bubble wrap in which a suction nozzle was originally shipped have not, however, met with wide acceptance. This may fo...
