Patent attributes
A disposable containment shield is operable to mount on an output housing of a surgical cutting instrument to keep spatter off of a surgeon's face shield enabling quick and complete restoration of visibility while cutting biological material. The containment shield includes a body that is substantially transparent and has a generally consistent thickness such that the body is pliable and resilient. The body is substantially planar and sterile when in the package. The containment shield forms into a three dimensional shape having a distal face and a proximal face, and a mounting hole of the containment shield engages onto the output housing of the surgical cutting instrument such that the distal face is at an acute angle with respect to a longitudinal axis through the mounting hole and faces toward a cutting device of the surgical cutting instrument.
