Enclosures including systems and methods thereof for establishing a sterile environment for a medical procedure

A system for establishing a sterile environment over a patient for a medical procedure, comprising:

• an enclosure for placement over the patient including:
• an expandable portion of a barrier separating the sterile environment inside of the enclosure from a non-sterile environment outside of the enclosure, the expandable portion of the barrier configured to expand from an unexpanded state to an expanded state for working within the sterile environment;
• a patient-interfacing portion of the barrier including a fenestration configured for placement directly over an area of interest of the patient, the fenestration having a sealed state and an unsealed state for access to the area of interest from within the sterile environment;
• and
• a support system coupled to the patient-interfacing portion of the barrier flanking the fenestration, the support system configured to support the enclosure on a surface when the patient-interfacing portion is placed over an appendage of the patient or a main body of the patient, the patient positioned on the surface in any one of a number of anatomical positions;
• and
• procedural equipment or supplies for the medical procedure in the sterile environment inside of the enclosure.

A method of a system for establishing a sterile environment over a patient for a medical procedure, comprising:

• placing an enclosure over an appendage of the patient or a main body of the patient such that a fenestration of a patient-interfacing portion of a barrier of the enclosure is directly over an area of interest of the patient;
• expanding an expandable portion of the barrier separating a sterile environment inside of the enclosure from a non-sterile environment outside of the enclosure from an unexpanded state to an expanded state;
• and
• working in the sterile environment to perform the medical procedure,
• wherein the enclosure includes a support system coupled to the patient-interfacing portion of the barrier flanking the fenestration, the support system configured to support the enclosure on a surface when:
• the patient-interfacing portion is placed over the appendage of the patient or the main body of the patient, and
• the patient is positioned on the surface in any one of a number of anatomical positions.
