Scope Surgical Helmet Systems are used by surgical staff during orthopedic procedures to decrease the patient's risk of deep wound infection (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) by keeping skin and other particles from falling into the open surgical site. They are also used to protect the surgical staff from potentially infectious aerosols generated by power tools during orthopedic procedures, particularly total knee and hip replacements, and long procedures such as spinal surgery. Aerosols may contaminate mucous membranes (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth) or the respiratory tract. Surgical Helmet Systems can also protect the surgical staff from infectious blood splashes that may carry hepatitis B and C viruses as well as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
