Abstract
A protective apparel system for use with a surgical helmet having a headlamp and including a protective apparel apparatus comprising a surgical garment, wherein the garment defines a sterile barrier between the wearer and the environment. The system includes a lens assembly adjacent to the surgical garment on the environment side and configured to cooperate with a coupling member for use with the headlamp. The lens assembly may include a control member and a lens, wherein the control member is be manipulatable by a wearer. The control member may be configured wherein manipulation by the wearer may reposition the lens of the lens assembly to adjust the direction and/or intensity of the light from the headlamp without breaching the sterile barrier.
Claims22
A wearable surgical garment defining an environment side and a wearer side for use with a surgical helmet having a headlamp, the wearable surgical garment comprising:
- a surgical fabric configured to provide a microbial barrier between a medical environment and a wearer;
- a face shield coupled to the surgical fabric;
- and
- a lens assembly adjacent the face shield on the environment side and configured to be aligned with the headlamp such that light emitted by the headlamp is transmitted through the lens assembly, the lens assembly comprising:
- a first lens,
- a control member, and
- wherein the control member is operatively coupled to the first lens and manipulatable by the wearer on the environment side of the surgical garment to adjust a characteristic of the lens assembly.

A protective apparel system comprising:
- a surgical helmet to be worn over the head of a wearer, the surgical helmet comprising a headlamp;
- a surgical garment configured to be at least partially disposed over the surgical helmet defining an environment side and a wearer side, said surgical garment comprising:
- a surgical fabric configured to provide a microbial barrier between a medical environment and a wearer;
- and
- a face shield coupled to the surgical fabric;
- a lens assembly adjacent the face shield on the environment side and configured to be aligned with the headlamp such that light emitted by the headlamp is transmitted through the lens assembly, the lens assembly comprising:
- a control member comprising a first lens, said control member coupled to the face shield;
- and
- wherein said control member is configured such that manipulation of the control member by the wearer on the environment side of the face shield adjusts the position of the first lens relative to the face shield.
