SurgyPack

Johns Hopkins University

The SurgyPack is a transparent, semi-rigid piece surgeons can use to contain a patient's intestines during surgery. The SurgyPack saves some $4,000 in operation costs by eliminating the time-consuming process of applying the cotton towels customarily used. Because those towels can stick to bowel tissue and shed fibers, the SurgyPack also decreases the chances of post-operative problems.
