OPEN SURGERY PATIENT INTERFACE

摘要

A device for delivering gas into a surgical cavity comprising a patient interface having an inlet, fluidly connected with a gas source, and an outlet, the patient interface being configured to deliver a conditioned flow of gas into the surgical cavity. The conditioned flow of gas may have the properties of having a reduced outlet velocity relative to the velocity of the inlet gas, or having a diffuse flow, or being heated, or being substantially laminar or non-turbulent, or a combination thereof. The invention may also comprise an attachment mechanism to attach to or anchor the patient interface.
