An Introduction to Limb Surgeries

Limb procedures are surgeries done on the upper or lower limbs, including arms, hands, wrists, ankles, and feet. These surgeries treat fractures, tendon injuries, nerve damage, or joint problems. Depending on the case, the procedure can be open, minimally invasive, or arthroscopic.

Focused Protection – How Drapes and Disposables Secure Limb Surgeries

Limb surgeries involve small but highly mobile and vascular areas that are prone to contamination without proper draping. Nivda Limb Drapes are designed to wrap securely around arms, legs, hands, and feet while isolating the incision site with fenestrated openings. These drapes help prevent infection by maintaining a sterile field even during repositioning of the limb. Surgical gowns and gloves act as essential barriers between the surgical team and patient to avoid cross-contamination. Disposable absorbent sheets, foot and hand covers, and sterile back table covers support fluid control and cleanliness. Every piece—from instrument wraps to suction devices—works together to ensure safety, sterility, and precision in all limb-related procedures.
