Abstract
Abstract The surgical kit contains a pair of nested circular basins, one or more nested kidney-shaped pans, and one or more nested heart-shaped pitchers. Other surgical needs may also be packed in the basin. A drape having a sterile side is wrapped around the basin with the sterile side inward and a double fold therein. The basin is placed in a ring stand, and when the drape is unwrapped, the sterile side is outward. When there are two nested basins, a double ring stand is employed and the double fold is pulled out to cover the entire double ring stand.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
288 words
A surgical kit wrap system comprising: a surgical kit to be wrapped, said surgical kit including a substantially circular close bottom basin for mounting in a ring stand and surgically useful materials within said basin, said basin having a first radius, said surgically useful materials including a kidney-shaped pan within said basin and a pitcher, said pan having a tapered wall with a portion thereof at the first radius and a portion thereof indented at a second radius, said pitcher having walls and bottom to define a closed bottom, open topped pitcher symmetrical about a center plane, a portion of said walls being curved about said fist radius and a portion of said walls being curved about said second radius, said kidney-shaped pan and said pitcher being sized so that when said wals at said second radius are in engagement, said walls at said first radius both lie substantially in contact with the walls of said basin; and a wrapping drape, said wrapping drape being sufficiently wide to drape over a ring stand from front to back without reaching the floor and said wrapping drape being sufficiently long to lengthwise sufficiently cover a double ring stand without reaching he floor so that said wrapping drape is rectangular, and a double transverse fol width wise across said wrapping drape so as to effectively shorten the length of said wrapping drape so that with said double transverse fold in place, said wrapping drape is adequately long to properly lengthwise cover a single ring stand without reaching the floor, said wrapping drape being wrapped around each of said basin and said materials in said basin so as to enclose and protect each of said basin and said materials within said basin.
Claim 2

288 words
A surgical kit wrap system comprising: a surgical kit to be wrapped, said surgical kit including a substantially circular close bottom basin for mounting in a ring stand and surgically useful materials within said basin, said basin having a first radius, said surgically useful materials including a kidney-shaped pan within said basin and a pitcher, said pan having a tapered wall with a portion thereof at the first radius and a portion thereof indented at a second radius, said pitcher having walls and bottom to define a closed bottom, open topped pitcher symmetrical about a center plane, a portion of said walls being curved about said fist radius and a portion of said walls being curved about said second radius, said kidney-shaped pan and said pitcher being sized so that when said wals at said second radius are in engagement, said walls at said first radius both lie substantially in contact with the walls of said basin; and a wrapping drape, said wrapping drape being sufficiently wide to drape over a ring stand from front to back without reaching the floor and said wrapping drape being sufficiently long to lengthwise sufficiently cover a double ring stand without reaching he floor so that said wrapping drape is rectangular, and a double transverse fol width wise across said wrapping drape so as to effectively shorten the length of said wrapping drape so that with said double transverse fold in place, said wrapping drape is adequately long to properly lengthwise cover a single ring stand without reaching the floor, said wrapping drape being wrapped around each of said basin and said materials in said basin so as to enclose and protect each of said basin and said materials within said basin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The kit of claim 1 further including means on said pitcher for manual grasp of said pitcher.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
The kit of claim 1 wherein said wrapping drape has a sterile side with said sterile side facing up when said wrapping drape is on the ring stand and said surgical kit being positioned on said sterile side, said sterile side engaging and enclosing said surgical kit when said wrapping drape is wrapped around said surgical kit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
The kit of claim 3 wherein said means for grasping includes a roughened surface attached to said second portion of said side walls adjacent said upper edge thereof and facing in the same direction as said side walls so that manual grasp of said surface aids in grasp of said kit.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The kit of claim 4 wherein said roughened surface is a first, upwardly facing roughened surface and there is also a second, downwardly facing roughened surface therebelow so that both said surface may be grasped for engaging said kit.
