Abstract
[Object] To provide a novel and improved surgical face guard with which a three-dimensional image can be used safely during medical treatment. [Solution] Provided is a surgical face guard, including a frame configured to be worn on a head of a medical worker, and a polarization shield configured to cover at least an in-front-of-eyes part and a part of a side-of-face surface of the medical worker, and have a predetermined polarization property with respect to a three-dimensional image.
Claims20
A surgical face guard, comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on a head of a medical worker;
- and
- a polarization shield configured to cover at least an in-front-of-eyes part and a part of a side-of-face surface of the medical worker, wherein
- the polarization shield has a predetermined polarization property with respect to a three-dimensional image,
- the polarization shield includes a left hole, a left notch portion, a right hole, and a right notch portion for connecting the polarization shield to the frame, wherein the polarization shield extends between the left hole and the left notch portion and extends between the right hole and the right notch portion, and
- an arrangement of the right hole and the left hole is not symmetric, an arrangement of the left notch portion and the right notch portion is symmetric, and at least one characteristic of the left hole and the right hole is different, the at least one characteristic being an orientation configured such that the polarization shield is attachable to the frame in only one orientation of the polarization shield.

A surgical polarization shield, comprising:
- a polarization area configured to have a predetermined polarization property with respect to a three-dimensional image;
- a right hole and a right notch portion configured to fit over a right protrusion of a right-fixing member of a frame to be worn on a head of a medical worker;
- and
- a left hole and a left notch portion configured to fit over a left protrusion of a left-fixing member of the frame, wherein
- the surgical polarization shield is connected to the frame when the left hole and the right hole are fitted over the left protrusion and the right protrusion,
- an arrangement of the right hole and the left hole is not symmetric,
- an arrangement of the left notch portion and the right notch portion is symmetric, wherein the polarization area extends between the left hole and the left notch portion and extends between the right hole and the right notch portion, and
- at least one characteristic of the left hole and the right hole is different, the at least one characteristic being an orientation configured such that the surgical polarization shield is attachable to the frame in only one orientation of the surgical polarization shield.
5 more elements
A surgery system, comprising:
- a display device configured to display a three-dimensional image;
- and
- a surgical face guard including
- a frame configured to be worn on a head of a medical worker, and
- a polarization shield configured to cover at least an in-front-of-eyes part and a part of a side-of-face surface of the medical worker, wherein
- the polarization shield has a predetermined polarization property with respect to the three-dimensional image,
- the polarization shield includes a left hole, a left notch portion, a right hole, and a right notch portion for connecting the polarization shield to the frame,
- an arrangement of the right hole and the left hole is not symmetric, an arrangement of the left notch portion and the right notch portion is symmetric, and
- the left hole and the right hole have a same shape with different orientations.
