US 2026/0083526 A1 · SURGICAL SPLASH SHIELD FOR USE DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES

Abstract

A splash shield either alone or in combination with a surgical device, such as a cup impactor, is provided to impede the egress of splashing blood, debris, and fluid from contacting surgeons, operating room personnel, and operating room infrastructure during surgery. The splash shield has a blocking surface with a center aperture capable of slidable, attaching movement along a shaft of the cup impactor handle or other surgical instrument. The splash shield has an outer perimeter that is greater than the surgical device shaft's outer perimeter. The center aperture has a resilient inner diameter for forming a fluid-tight, slidable grip with the shaft, or may have a slotted groove for receiving the surgical device. The splash shield can be attached to the surgical device by a clamp.
