ABSTRACT:
A stand is disposed in a heated thermal treatment system basin to support objects placed in the basin above the heated basin floor. The stand may be circular, rectangular or other shape to accommodate various shaped basins and prevent a surgical drape disposed in the basin and containing a heated sterile medium from puncturing. A substantially circular stand includes a substantially circular frame elevating a platform having a plurality of spokes reinforced by a plurality of concentric rings, while a substantially rectangular stand includes a substantially rectangular frame elevating a platform having a plurality of intersecting perpendicular rods to form a grid. Alternatively, the substantially circular stand may include a substantially circular platform having holes defined therein and legs extending downwardly from the platform to elevate the platform above the basin floor, while the substantially rectangular stand may include a substantially rectangular platform having holes defined therein with downwardly curved longitudinal ends to elevate the platform. The holes in the platforms, the spaces residing between the spokes and rings, and the spaces residing between the perpendicular rods, enable the stand to be submerged in the heated sterile medium and permit thermal energy from the basin to pass through the respective platforms and efficiently heat the sterile medium. The stand may be either a separate unit, or disposed integrally with the drape where the stand corresponds to the center of the basin and indicates the portions of the drape to be disposed in the basin.
