Abstract
An isolation bag assembly that holds an electronic device so it can be introduced into a clean environment. A sterilized bag structure is provided. The bag structure also has a front panel, a rear panel, a closed bottom, an open top, a first side edge, and a second side edge. When an electronic device is placed inside the bag structure, the device is positioned in a clear area. Adhesive tabs are affixed to the bag structure surrounding the clear area. The first edge and the open top of the bag structure are folded towards the clear area. The folds are held in place by the adhesive tabs. The folds make the bag structure conform to the shape of the electronic device and remain taut.
Claims16
An isolation bag assembly, comprising:
- a sterilized bag structure made from a flexible clear plastic and having a first length and a first width, wherein said sterilized bag structure has a front panel, a rear panel, a closed bottom, an open top, a first side edge, and a second side edge, wherein said front panel and said rear panel are joined along said closed bottom, said first side edge and said second side edge, wherein said first side edge and said second side edge have said first length and said closed bottom extends for said first width;
- a plurality of adhesive tabs affixed to said first panel of said sterilized bag structure, wherein each of said adhesive tabs has a base section that is affixed to said first panel and a free section that extends from said base section, wherein said free section has a layer of adhesive applied thereto that enables each said free section to selectively adhere to said sterilized bag structure when brought into contact with said sterilized bag structure.
An isolation bag assembly, comprising:
- a sterilized bag structure made from a flexible clear plastic and having a first length and a first width, wherein said sterilized bag structure has a front panel, a rear panel, a closed bottom, an open top, a first side edge, and a second side edge, wherein said front panel and said rear panel are joined along said closed bottom, said first side edge and said second side edge, wherein said first side edge and said second side edge have said first length and said closed bottom extends for said first width;
- a mobile phone placed in an area within said bag structure, wherein said first side edge is folded to said area and is held in place with a first adhesive tab that extends between said front panel and said rear panel, and wherein said open top is folded up to said area and is held in place with a second adhesive tab that extends between said front panel and said rear panel.
A method of isolating a handheld electronic device, comprising:
- providing a sterilized bag structure made from a flexible clear plastic and having a first length and a first width, wherein said sterilized bag structure has a front panel, a rear panel, a closed bottom, an open top, a first side edge, and a second side edge, wherein said front panel and said rear panel are joined along said closed bottom, said first side edge and said second side edge, wherein said first side edge and said second side edge have said first length and said bottom extends for said first width;
- providing a handheld electronic device and advancing said handheld electronic device into an area within said bag structure through said open top;
- creating a first fold by folding said first side edge of said bag structure up to said area occupied by said handheld electronic device;
- adhering said first fold to said rear panel of said bag structure with a first adhesive tab to prevent said first fold from unfolding;
- creating a second fold by folding said open top of said bag structure up to said area occupied by said handheld electronic device;
- adhering said second fold to said rear panel of said bag structure with a second adhesive tab to prevent said second fold from unfolding.
