Retractable self-cleaning mat

An extended repeated-use table cover device, wherein extended repeated-use means at least three months under expected standard use without needing to be replaced, the device comprising:

• a roller having a roller axis, a first roller end, a second roller end opposite and spaced apart from the first roller end, and an outer surface extending axially along the roller axis from the first roller end to the second roller end, the roller being rotatable about the roller axis;
• a non-silicone mat having a first mat end and a second mat end opposite and spaced apart from the first mat end, wherein the outer surface of the roller is coupled to the first mat end such that rotation of the roller about the roller axis causes the mat to wind around the outer surface of the roller;
• a disinfecting enclosure having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a cavity, the outer surface defining an opening extending from the outer surface to the cavity defined by the inner surface, wherein the roller is disposed within the cavity of the disinfecting enclosure and the mat is extendable through the opening;
• a table mount for coupling the disinfecting enclosure to a portion of a table;
• and
• a winding mechanism for rotating the roller from an extended position to a retracted position, wherein a larger portion of the mat is wound around the roller outer surface in the retracted position than in the extended position,
• wherein the mat is durable enough to be moved from the retracted position to the extended position, supporting a patient, and moving from the extended position to the retracted position for at least three months under expected standard use without needing to be replaced,
• wherein the mat is sterilized within the disinfecting enclosure as the mat moves from the extended position to the retracted position and/or from the retracted position to the extended position.
