Benefits of technology

[0013]The present invention is further directed to a system for interacting with smart devices or surgical devices during a surgical procedure, comprising the garment described supra; and one or more of the smart devices or controls of the surgical devices disposed behind the transparent windows on the garment such that an operating surface of the device are touch accessible to one wearing the garment.
[0014]The present invention is

Problems solved by technology

Thus, restricted rules for sterility of surgical gowns are necessary.
During a surgery, if a surgeon touches a non-sterile area of the table or his or another person's gown or mask or anything in the room not prepared to be sterile, he is considered to have “broken scrub” which refers to a sterile technique failure creating the possibility for contamination.
Current surgical gowns, however, do not allow for convenie
