Description
NON-SKID SUPPORTING SURFACE FOR ARTICLES
Technical Field The present invention relates to a method of using a sheet material composed of methyl vinyl polysiloxane as a supporting surface for articles, particularly surgical instruments, which articles due to the surface properties of the sheet material will not slide off the sheet mater ial when it is inclined , agitated or otherwise disturbed.
Background Art
The need for a non-skid surface upon which articles may be placed has been recognized in the art. Thus, the prior art discloses a variety of non-skid supporting surfaces upon which articles, such as tools and the like, may be placed. Such prior art non-skid surfaces are constructed, for example, from materials possessing non-skid surface properties or by embossing or texturing materials having normally smooth slippery surfaces. There is a special need for non-skid supporting surfaces in the filed of medicine, particularly, surgery, upon which a surgeon may place surgical instruments while performing surgery. This special need has also been recognized in the prior art. For example, U.S. Patent 3,882,859 discloses a surgical drape with a large fenestration. The surgical drape is covered by a thin elastomeric sheet, having a high elastic modulus and high coeeficient of friction. In use, the drape rests directly upon the body of the patient, immediately on or adjacent to the operative site, and provides a sterile, non-skid resting place for instruments adjacent to the operative site.
While this drape and others like it are constructed of materials having relatively high coefficients of friction, the coefficients of friction of these materials are not sufficiently high to prevent surgical instruments from sliding off the drape when it is at a sharp incline, for example 45 or more, or when it is agitated or otherwise disturbed during the operation. This may be due to the fact that while elastomeric materials have relatively high coefficients of static friction they have relatively low coefficients of kinetic friction.
Another disadvantage of such prior art drapes is that the elastomeric materials from which the drapes are made do not allow instruments to be dropped thereon without the fear that the instruments will fall off the drape. Still another disadvantage is that such drapes cannot be washed during use.
Another type of surgical drape which is employed is a
"magnetic drape". Magnetic drapes, as the name implies, have magnets distributed between the top and bottom surfaces of the drape for holding metallic instruments in place. These drapes, however, have many disadvantages. Thus, the magnets which are positioned between the top and bottom surfaces of the drape tend to break through the drape after repeated sterilization. Such drapes are also difficult to use because they are stiff and heavy and require precise placement of instruments over the magnets. Another disadvantage is that the magnets in the drape magnetizes the instruments. Still another disadvantage is that such drapes are not useful in holding nonmetallic articles. Accordingly, it is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a non-skid surface for supporting articles such as tools, surgical instruments and the like.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a sheet material having a sterile, permanently tacky surface made without sticky adhesives and having high coefficients of both static and kinetic friction. Such a sheet material may be placed near the operating area. All types of surgical instruments may be placed or dropped upon it and surgical instruments will not slide from it when the surface is at an incline, agitated or otherwise disturbed.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a reuseable sterile material which may be repeatedly autoclaved or gas sterilized without losing its properties.
Disclosure of the Invention
It has been found in accordance with the present invention that a sheet material composed of methyl vinyl polysiloxane containing a small amount of ground silica filler may be employed as a supporting surface for articles, such as surgical instruments. The sheet material according to the present invention has two sides, one side having a permanently tacky surface and the other side having a textured or embossed surface. The tacky surface has high coefficients of both static and kinetic friction, which may be attributable to the tacky quality of the surface.
In use, the sheet material is placed on a surface with its tacky surface facing upward. Articles such as tools and surgical instruments may then be placed on the tacky surface of the sheet material. Due to the surface takiness and high coefficients of both static and kinetic friction of the material, articles will not slide off the surface when it is inclined (up to about 90° slope), agitated, or otherwise disturbed.
The sheet material according to the present invention is particularly useful as a supporting surface for surgical instruments. When used in this manner the sheet material of the instant invention is normally placed on top of a surgical drape in a convenient location with its tacky surface facing upward. During the operation, the doctor may place surgical instruments on the sheet material. Due to the tackiness and high coefficient of friction of the sheet material, surgical instruments will not slip or slide off the sheet material. Moreover, surgical instruments which are dropped on the sheet material will not slip off, but rather will remain on the sheet material at the place where they are dropped. The sheet material may also be reused since as it can be repeatedly sterilized by any standard technique without losing its properties, particularly its tacky surface property.

Best Mode For Carrying Out The Invention
As described hereinabove, the instant invention relates to the use of a sheet material composed of methyl vinyl polysiloxane containing a small amount of ground silica filler.
As presently preferred, the sheet material of the present invention is formed by the following process. The process comprises forming a sheet material from methyld vinyl polysiloxane containing a small amount of ground silica, for example, from 10 to 50 parts per 100 parts of methyl vinyl polysiloxane. The sheet material preferably contains of from about 15 to 30 parts of ground silica per 100 parts of polysiloxane. The material is formed into a sheet by calendering it onto a fabric carrier. While the formed sheet material is on the fabric carrier, it is cured with an organic peroxide. It is presently preferred to employ 2,4 dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, although any suitable peroxide may be used. As a result of this curing technique, the surface of the sheet material exposed to the air, while on the fabric, becomes tacky and the surface of the sheet material in contact with the fabric becomes textured due to the embossments on the fabric. At this point in the process, the sheet material is passed through a hot air oven and the tacky quality of the air exposed surface of the sheet material becomes permanent. Thereafter, the sheet material is cut into the desired shape and size. The sheet material may be cut into any desired shape and size depending upon the end use of the material. Examples of some preferred end uses will be described hereinafter.
The properties of the resultant shee material of the instant invention are shown in Table I below:
Table I color - blue thickness - 0.03 inch +/- about 0.005 inch
(ASTM 0412) durometer Shore A-30+10-5 (ASTM 2240) strength - minimum, 600 lbs./sq. inch (ASTM

POLYKEN PROBE TACK tester. Model
No. 480-2, from TESTING MACHINE, INC., Amityville, New York.
Average of ten readings using a
20 gm. weight and a one-half second dwell time. useful temperature range - 100° to 500°F. physical characteristics - a smooth tacky surface and a rough textured surface coefficient of static friction - 1.19 coefficient of kinetic friction - 1.00 The coefficients of friction were determined in accordance with ASTM-D-1894-78 (Part 35) 1980 test.
Referring now to Figs. 1-3 in detail, the preferred sheet material according to the present invention is generally designated by reference numeral 10. As illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the sheet material 10 has a smooth tacky surface 12 and a rough textured surface 14. As shown, the sheet material 10 is positioned on an inclined surface 11. The textured surface 14 acts to hold the sheet material on the inclined surface 11. A knife 16, scissors 17, paper clip 18 and pencil 19 are positioned on the sheet material 10. Because of the tacky surface quality of the sheet material, the articles 16, 17, and 19 will not slip or slide off the surface even though it has approximately a 60 slope. In fact, the pencil 18, which is positioned on the portion of the sheet material 10 which overhangs the surface 11, will not slip or slide off the sheet material 10 even though it is at about a 90° slope. To obtain even bettter adherence to the sheet material 10, the articles 16, 17, 18 and 19 may be pressed against the tacky surface 12.
Referring to Fig. 3, the preferred use for the sheet material 10 is illustrated. As depicted, the sheet material 10 is placed over a portion of a surgical drape 20
which is covering a patient 22 who is being operated upon.
The doctor 24 may then place surgical instruments 26 and
28 on the sheet material 10. These instruments may include metallic and non-metallic instruments such as a scapel, clamps, scissors, plastic suction tubes and plastic pens. As shown, even though a portion 30 of the sheet material 10 overhangs the operating table at an angle of about 90°, surgical instruments 28 will not slip or slide off the sheet material 10. When used in this manner, the sheet material may have any suitable dimensions. However, it is presently preferred that the sheet material have a width of about nineteen inches and a length of about twenty-four inches.
If during the operative procedure a significant portion of the tacky surface becomes covered with lint, powder, dried blood or fatty tissue, the holding capability of the sheet material may be reduced, but it can be immediately restored by rinsing or gently washing the tacky surface with a wet sponge. In addition, since the sheet material 10 is heat resistant up to 500°F, it may be sterilized and reused. Moreover, the supporting surface 12 will retain its tackiness when wet.
While not illustrated in the drawings, the sheet material may be used in a variety of ways to support various other articles. For example, a precut piece of the sheet material according to the present invention may be placed on a tray for use on a boat, airplane or other vehicle to hold articles such as plates, cups, saucers, cutlery and the like in place. A precut piece of the sheet material of the instant invention may also be used, for example, as a supporting surface for tools when working on the contoured surface of an automobile. Thus, the sheet material may be placed over the portion of the car being worked upon and tools and other implements can be placed thereon. The sheet material will protect the car from damage caused by the tools and will keep the tools in place.
The sheet material of the present invention may also
be used as a supporting surface for movie film during the editing process. Because of the sheet material's tacky surface, the film is held vertically in place without the need for supporting pins, which are employed in conventional film editing.
It will, of course, be recognized that the sheet material of the instant invention may have many other similar uses as a supporting surface for still other articles. While I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiments of the present invention and have suggested certain modifications thereto, it will be apparent that further changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the above description should be construed as illustrative and not in the limiting sense, the scope of the invention being defined by the following claims. What is claimed is:
