US 2022/0175484 A1 · OPHTHALMIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES

Abstract

The disclosure herein provides ophthalmic surgical systems, methods, and devices. In one embodiment, a surgical apparatus for use by a surgeon during a surgical procedure comprises one or more sealed sterilized surgical packs configured to be disposed of after a single or a limited number of surgical procedures, the one or more sealed sterilized surgical packs comprising: a sterile surgical instrument; and a sterile surgical tray comprising a top surface configured to be part of a sterile field of the surgical procedure, the top surface comprising a receiving structure for positioning therein of the sterile surgical instrument, the sterile surgical tray further comprising walls that define a recess sized and configured to receive a reusable non-sterile module, the recess configured to encapsulate the reusable non-sterile module to isolate the reusable non-sterile module from the sterile field of the surgical procedure.

Dependent claims

A surgical apparatus for use by a surgeon during a surgical procedure, the surgical apparatus comprising:

one or more sealed sterilized surgical packs configured to be unsealed before a surgical procedure and disposed of after a single or a limited number of surgical procedures, the one or more scaled sterilized surgical packs comprising:
a sterile surgical instrument;
and
a sterile surgical tray comprising a top surface configured to be part of a sterile field of the surgical procedure,
the sterile surgical tray further comprising walls that define a recess sized and configured to receive a reusable non-sterile module, the recess configured to encapsulate the reusable non-sterile module to isolate the reusable non-sterile module from the sterile field of the surgical procedure,
wherein the walls of the sterile surgical tray comprises one or more interfaces positioned and configured to enable one or more functions of the reusable non-sterile module to be utilized in the sterile field of the surgical procedure outside of the recess, the one or more interfaces comprising at least an electronic communication interface configured to enable an electronic controller of the reusable non-sterile module to electronically communicate with the sterile surgical tray or the sterile surgical instrument.
