Stent Placement/Removal Introduction

Stent placement or removal is a procedure used to open or maintain a passage in a blocked or narrowed blood vessel or urinary tract. A stent is a small tube inserted into the body using specialized tools. The procedure can be temporary or permanent depending on the patient’s condition.

Barrier to Infection – Role of Drapes and Disposables in Stent Procedures

Whether performed in vascular or urological settings, stent placement/removal must be carried out in a sterile environment to prevent infection and procedural complications. Nivda Urology Drapes and Angioplasty Drapes are engineered with fenestrated openings, fluid-collection pouches, and adhesive zones that isolate the surgical site. Disposable gowns, gloves, and face masks create a sterile shield around both patient and healthcare staff. Back table covers, absorbent mats, and catheter drapes help organize instruments and control fluids. These single-use items ensure that the operating field remains contamination-free from start to finish. With Nivda Drapes, surgeons can focus on accuracy while the disposables manage protection and cleanliness.
