Protective Apparel System With A Lens Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627796 titled 'Protective Apparel System With A Lens Assembly
The protective apparel system described in the patent application includes a surgical helmet with a peripheral device and a surgical garment designed to be worn over the helmet. The garment features a fabric and a face shield that acts as a sterile barrier between the wearer and the surrounding environment. Additionally, the face shield may have a coupling member or housing that allows for the attachment of the peripheral device and a lens assembly.

Original Abstract Submitted
A protective apparel system comprising a surgical helmet including a peripheral device and a surgical garment configured to be disposed over the helmet. The garment comprises a fabric and a face shield defining a sterile barrier between the wearer and the environment. At least one of a coupling member or housing may disposed on the face shield, the coupling member configured for removably couple the peripheral device to the face shield to orient the peripheral device relative to the face shield when the surgical garment is disposed over the surgical helmet. The housing may removably couple a lens assembly to the face shield.
