Abstract
Examples are directed to cervicothoracic mats that include a top surface including a receiving portion configured to receive surgical instruments and an opposite bottom surface configured to contact a patient, a first lateral surface extending from the top surface, a second lateral surface extending from top surface, and a peripheral portion arranged along the perimeter of cervicothoracic mat proximate to at least a sub-portion of the receiving portion, the peripheral portion being maintained in a non-planar configuration and configured to prevent surgical instruments from falling off of the patient.
Claims18
A cervicothoracic mat comprising:
- a top surface including a receiving portion configured to receive surgical instruments;
- an opposite bottom surface configured to contact a patient;
- a first lateral portion of the top surface extending from the receiving portion generally orthogonal from the receiving portion;
- a second lateral portion of the top surface extending from the receiving portion and generally orthogonal from the receiving portion;
- a first peripheral portion arranged along the perimeter of the cervicothoracic mat proximate to at least a first sub-portion of the receiving portion, the first peripheral portion including a recessed sub-portion, wherein the first peripheral portion is configured to receive the chin of the patient and the recessed sub-portion is configured to conform to the chin of the patient and to cover at least a portion of the chin of the patient;
- and
- a second peripheral portion arranged along the perimeter of the cervicothoracic mat and proximate to at least a second sub-portion of the receiving portion, the second peripheral portion being maintained in a non-planar configuration and configured to prevent surgical instruments from falling off of the patient, wherein the first peripheral portion and the second peripheral portion include a ridge that extends around the whole perimeter of the top surface of the cervicothoracic mat, the ridge being maintained in a non-planar configuration and configured to prevent surgical instruments from falling off of the patient, the recessed sub-portion extending from and being recessed from a portion of the ridge, and the cervicothoracic mat being comprised of silicon, and wherein the ridge that extends around the whole perimeter of the top surface of the cervicothoracic mat extends from the top surface in a direction away from the bottom surface and with a height in a range of 2 inches to ¼ inch, and is formed of silicon.
