New eShield Covers Let Gadgets Stay in Surgery

Aug-21-14 The eShield covers are the only covers approved by the FDA to let users bring their small electronic devices into a sterile environment.

Although tablets and smartphones are useful medical tools, surgeons are not able to access them within their sterile surgical field. Instead, they must step of out the area for the moment, which wastes time and adds more steps to the complicated sterilizing process.

In response, Whitney Medical Solutions developed the eShield cover—an extremely clear polyethylene pouch that creates a barrier from contaminants. The device's touchscreen can still be accessed through the material—even while wearing surgical gloves—and the ultra-clear material will not distort photographs. The eShield covers come in a variety of sizes, and can even be used to protect SLR cameras during procedure documentation.
