ABSTRACT:
An attachment for use with medical tools to aid in isolating a medical practitioner from infectious materials found in a patient. The attachment includes both a physical barrier and means for providing a vacuum barrier around the tool to trap aerosols and the like developed by the tool during an operation. The barrier is flow connected to a vacuum source for drawing a vacuum, and gases drawn in by the source are collected by a filter. The barrier is transparent with radial spokes which form a ring-shaped passage or air channel to allow the practitioner to see the site of the operation and is disposable after each operation.
