Paige L Long Sharps graduated from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1988. She entered an Obstetrical

and Gynecology residency program at Columbia University-HarlemHospital. Her ultimate goal of becoming affiliated with a Univer-

sity-program within a multi-ethnic urban community was achieved upon joining Montefiore Medical Center. She was the Medical

Director for the Grand Concourse Division for Montefiore’s Medical Center, Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women’s Health for the

last 10 years. Never settling, she continue to pursue more career goals, and have recently developed a medical device which was

patented on July 2014, the Pannus Adapter. Currently, because of her love for teaching she is working as an Adjunct Professor in the

Physician Program at Pace University, New York.

BIOGRAPHY

a surgical procedure that is complicated by the presence of a pannus, any surgical procedure where an incision

is made in the abdomen or proximate area that is covered by a pannus is equally complicated the presence

of a pannus. In effect it can be used for abdominal hysterectomies, or any surgical laparotomies. The Pannus

Adapter as stated above solves the problem of a surgical field unobstructed by the pannus with a device that

is sterile. The presence day of using duct tape and tying the ends of the tape to the surgical bed or IV pole is

archaic and non-sterile. In addition, the decrease in wound infections, wound dehiscence and better back and

abdominal support post-surgery would be solved by the Pannus Adapter.
