Abstract

Medical procedure trays and related methods are provided to accommodate joining a first non-sterile medical device with a second sterile medical device and maintaining required sterilization of the second sterile medical device to perform an associated medical procedure. One example of such medical procedures includes biopsy of a bone and/or associated bone marrow using a non-sterile powered drive and a sterile biopsy needle or biopsy needle set. Medical procedure trays and related methods may also be provided for use during aspiration of bone marrow and/or stem cell transplant procedures. Each medical procedure tray may include a containment bag or sterile sleeve. A coupler assembly, one or more sharps protectors, a biopsy sample ejector and/or associated ejector funnel may also be included. Some medical procedure trays may allow engaging a non-sterile powered driver with one end of a coupler assembly and sealing the non-sterile powered driver in a sterile sleeve or containment bag without compromising sterility of other components in the medical procedure tray.

Claims (43)

1. A medical procedure tray comprising:

a plurality of slots and holders disposed therein;

at least one intraosseous device disposed within a respective slot of the tray;

the intraosseous device having a first end operable to penetrate a bone and associated bone marrow;

a coupler assembly having a first end operable to be releasably engaged with a second end of the intraosseous device;

a second end of the coupler assembly engaged with a containment bag; and

the coupler assembly and containment bag disposed in a holder formed in the tray.

2. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising:

an ejector rod releasably disposed in one of the slots of the tray; and

the ejector rod operable to remove a biopsy specimen from a lumen in the intraosseous device.

3. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising:

a funnel releasably disposed in a respective holder in the tray; and

the funnel operable to assist with inserting one end of a biopsy specimen ejector rod into a first end of the intraosseous device to remove a biopsy specimen from a lumen of the intraosseous device.

4. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising:

a funnel having a first end with a first opening sized to receive a first end of the intraosseous device therein; and

the funnel disposed in a respective holder in the tray with the first end of the funnel extending upwardly from the tray to accommodate inserting the first end of the intraosseous device into the first opening in the first end of the funnel.

5. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising:

a drape having a fenestration formed therein; and

the drape disposed over the slots and holders in the tray with the second end of the coupler assembly exposed through the fenestration in the drape.

6. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising at least one sharps protector disposed in a respective holder.

7. The medical procedure tray of claim 1 further comprising:

the containment bag having an opening sized to allow inserting a powered driver therethrough and into the containment bag;

a flexible stay engaged with portions of the opening; and

a first end and a second end of the flexible stay releasably engaged with respective holders in the tray to retain the containment bag in an open position to allow inserting the powered driver therein.

8. A medical procedure tray comprising:

a first tray having a plurality of slots and holders disposed therein;

a plurality of intraosseous devices and associate components disposed within respective slots and holders of the first portion;

the intraosseous devices including an IO needle set having a first end operable to penetrate a bone and associated bone marrow;

a coupler assembly having a first end operable to be releasably engaged with a second end of the IO needle set;

the coupler assembly having a second end operable to be releasably engaged with one end of a drive shaft extending from a driver; and

the coupler assembly operable to be removed from the first tray while attached to the driver.

9. The medical procedure tray of claim 8 further comprising:

an ejector releasably disposed in one of the slots of the first tray; and

the ejector operable to remove a biopsy specimen from a generally hollow cannula of the IO needle set.

10. The medical procedure tray of claim 8 further comprising:

a funnel releasably disposed in a respective holder of the first tray; and

the funnel operable to assist with inserting one end of the ejector into a first end of the generally hollow cannula to remove the biopsy specimen from lumen of the cannula.

11. The medical procedure tray of claim 8 further comprising:

a holder with the first end of the coupler assembly releasably disposed therein;

the second end of the coupler assembly exposed for engagement with the one end of the drive shaft extending from the powered driver;

a containment bag having a first opening engaged proximate the second end of the coupler assembly; and

a second opening in the containment bag placed in an inverted position relative to the respective holder with the coupler assembly.

12. The medical procedure tray of claim 8 further comprising a second tray and a drape with the first tray disposed in the second tray and the drape disposed between the first tray and the second tray.
