Support device for surgical systems

A device for supporting and displaying interrelated medical components, such as cardiopulmonary bypass circuit components. The device includes a rigid or flexible chassis having openings therein for receiving the components. A plurality of retainers, such as straps, hooks, or tabs, are provided adjacent the openings for releasably securing the components therein. The chassis may be formed of a thin, flexible polymer sheet having tabs cut therein and adapted to be bent out of the plane of the sheet for securely retaining the various components. The pre-arrangement of the components in close proximity greatly simplifies the task of setting up a particular medical circuit, and reduces the potential for error. For cardiopulmonary bypass circuits, the support device enables the tubing lengths to be reduced, thus reducing the prime volume of the circuit. The chassis is provided with apertures for mounting on rods in the operating room, which rods may extend from the operating table. Handles are also provided on the chassis for conveniently transporting the components or circuit. The compact nature of the chassis and components thereon simplifies and reduces the cost of packaging and shipping. In addition, disposal of a used circuit is facilitated by the provision of a clean bag around the entire system. A pumpless cardioplegia delivery system is also provided.
