ACL reconstruction positioning
✔✔The tourniquet must be placed as proximally as possible on the thigh
of the affected leg. The leg must be flexed to at least 90 degrees. A leg
holder, or lateral post attached to the bed by brackets is used to hold the
leg in position.
Fracture table positioning to repair hip and femur fractures
✔✔Fx of hip and thigh require ORIF or intra-medullary rodding. A
standard OR table is not appropriate for this because these techniques
require maintained traction. The table includes a boot- the affected leg is
placed in the boot.
Lateral positioner for hip replacement/hemi-arthroplasty
✔✔The patient lies on the non-operative side. Posterior pad lies at L4-L5
level, the anterior pad is pressed closely to the ASIS. The leg must be
flexed to 90 degrees.
Surgical drapes
✔✔Protect the surgical site from contamination. Drapes must be antistatic,
strong porous, must not reflect light, flame retardant, free of toxins, and
not contain lint.
Plastic drapes
✔✔Adhesive. There are incise and aperture drapes. Incise are made of thin
see-through plastic w/adhesive back. Applied on top of folded towels.
, Surgical incision is made through the drape. Aperture drapes have
fenestrations surrounded by adhesive backing.
Fabric drapes
✔✔Nonwoven textile fabrics are disposable, light, and strong. Synthetic.
Reinforced layers of material surround the fenestration.
Woven textile fabrics are reusable. The material swells when wet and
becomes impermeable. Treated with a fluorochemical to increase fluid
repellent nature. Must be washed, sterilized, inspected for damage, and
repaired.
Fenestrated drapes
✔✔Openings to expose surgical site. Fenestration of a particular shape
depending on the intended use.
Nonfenestrated drapes
✔✔Used to cover sections not covered by fenestrated drapes. Custom
made for surgeries on specific body parts.
Sterile packs
✔✔Designed for medical specialties and for specific procedures. Contain
the required supplies for the particular surgery. Basic packs contain: Mayo
stand cover, 2 surgical gowns, a suture bag, 4 sticky paper drapes, and 2
paper towels.
Stockinette drapes
✔✔Cover the arms and legs. The closed end covers the distal part of the
extremity. May be covered with plastic to make it impermeable to fluids.
