Abstract:
1. An insulated disposable surgical fluid container apparatus, comprising in combination: a triangular shaped bottom portion including an outer surface, an insulating component between the outer surface and an inner surface separating the outer surface from the inner surface by a pre-determined distance, an ergonomic handle portion, and a pouring portion; the outer surface including an insulating material for reducing heat transfer from the outer surface to a surrounding area, the insulating component separating the outer surface from the inner surface by the pre-determined distance for reducing heat transfer from the inner surface to the outer surface, the inner surface comprising a fluid container portion for holding a fluid including an thermally conductive material for spreading heat energy evenly over the inner surface and maintaining an isothermal temperature distribution on the inner surface, thereby maintaining an isothermal temperature of any fluid included in the fluid container portion, the fluid container portion including an inverted triangular shaped bottom portion along a longitudinal centerline and extending into a bulbous shaped longitudinal groove in the bottom portion for accurately dispending and pouring fluids from the fluid container portion into a wound during a surgery, the ergonomic handle portion attaching to the outer surface at a pre-determined angle comprising a pre-determined pattern specifically sized and shaped for comfortable gripping by a human hand, the pre-determined angle allowing accurate pouring of fluids from the fluid container portion into the wound during the surgery, and the pouring portion including another inverted triangular shaped bottom portion along a longitudinal centerline and extending into a bulbous shaped longitudinal groove in the pouring portion for accurately pouring fluids from the fluid container portion and the pouring portion into a wound during a surgery; and a triangular shaped top portion for covering the triangular shaped bottom portion including a first attached portion and a second movable portion; the triangular shaped top portion including an insulating material for reducing heat transfer from the fluids included in the fluid container portion of the triangular shaped bottom portion to the surrounding area, the first attached portion attached to a top surface of the triangular shaped bottom portion to cover a portion of the triangular shape bottom portion and prevent fluids from spilling out of the fluid container portion and to prevent loss of heat energy from the fluids included in the fluid container portion of the triangular shaped bottom portion including a connection portion for connecting and attaching a cover handle portion on the second moveable portion, and a second moveable portion attached to the first attached portion with a hinged component including the cover handle portion for grasping the second moveable portion to open and close triangular shaped top portion.
