    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Innovation
    • Medical Devices
    • Ophthalmic Surgery

    Background:

    • Ophthalmic procedures often cause patient anxiety and breathing difficulties.
    • Maintaining clear nasal and oral passageways is crucial during surgery.
    • Current methods may impede operating room personnel's observation of the patient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a modified surgical drape support designed for ophthalmic procedures.
    • To enhance patient comfort and safety by maintaining airway patency.
    • To improve surgical field visibility for operating room staff.

    Main Methods:

    • The disposable support is affixed to the patient's nose and face.
    • Self-adhesive pads or sterile surgical tape are used for securement.

  • The support is designed to be flexible and maintain drape separation.

    • Main Results:

    • The surgical drape support effectively keeps the drape away from nasal and oral passageways.
    • Facilitates unobstructed observation of the patient by operating room personnel.
    • Relieves patient anxiety and mitigates breathing problems during ophthalmic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • This modified surgical drape support offers a practical solution for managing airway issues in ophthalmic surgery.
    • The device enhances patient experience and surgical team efficiency.
    • It represents a valuable advancement in disposable surgical accessories for eye procedures.
