- A sterile, single-use, extra-long femoral angiography drape designed to create a sterile field and provide fluid control during high-fluid diagnostic and interventional procedures
Uses
- Femoral Angiography:
- It is primarily intended for use during femoral angiography procedures in cath labs and interventional radiology labs
- Sterile Barrier:
- The main use is to establish and maintain a sterile field around the access site to minimize the risk of infection and contamination during invasive procedures
- Fluid Control:
- The drape is designed to absorb fluids and prevent strikethrough during high-fluid procedures
Features
- Size and Dimensions:
- It is an extra-long drape, measuring 82 inches x 135 inches, to provide full coverage for both patient and staff
- Windowed Area:
- A large (27 inches x 124 inches) clear poly window provides an unobstructed view of the access site and table controls, facilitating precise procedures
- Fenestrations:
- It features two 3.5-inch adhesive circular fenestrations for the access site
- CONTROL Plus Reinforcement Fabric:
- This fabric provides high resistance to tearing, abrasion, strikethrough, flame, and laser ignition
- AAMI Level 4 Liquid Barrier:
- The reinforcement fabric meets AAMI Level 4 liquid barrier performance test requirements, indicating the highest level of fluid protection
- Material:
- Made from SMS (Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond) fabric, known for low-lint generation, which helps reduce the risk of airborne bacterial transmission
- Latex-Free:
- The product is not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions
Benefits
- Infection Control:
- The sterile design and AAMI Level 4 barrier performance significantly reduce the risk of infection and cross-contamination, promoting positive patient outcomes
- Procedural Efficiency:
- The clear window and easy-to-place design facilitate an unobstructed view and secure positioning, enabling healthcare professionals to perform procedures precisely and efficiently
- Staff and Patient Protection:
- The extra-long size and fluid-resistant fabric ensure full protection for both the patient and the clinical staff during high-fluid interventional procedures
- Safety:
- High flame resistance and low linting properties enhance safety in environments where electrocautery or laser equipment may be used
