What Is Stent Placement?

Stent placement is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart or other parts of the body. A stent is a tiny mesh tube inserted into the artery to keep it open and restore blood flow. This minimally invasive procedure helps prevent heart attacks and improve circulation.

Sterility in Action – Role of Drapes and Disposables During Stent Placement

Stent placement requires complete sterility to protect the patient from infection during catheter insertion and device deployment. Nivda Angioplasty Drapes are designed with fenestrated openings, fluid-control pouches, and adhesive borders to isolate the operative site and maintain a clean environment. Sterile surgical gowns, gloves, face masks, and caps protect both patient and surgical staff, minimizing cross-contamination risks. Back table covers, instrument wrapping sheets, and absorbent floor mats help manage fluids and maintain workspace hygiene. Catheterization drapes ensure that the insertion site remains sterile throughout the procedure. With Nivda hospital disposables, every stent placement is performed safely, efficiently, and with complete confidence in infection control.
