Cardiac Catheterization Introduction

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure used to examine how well the heart is working. It helps
diagnose and treat heart conditions by inserting a thin catheter into a blood vessel leading to
the heart. The procedure can measure pressures, take images, or deliver treatments like stents
or balloons.

Sterility and Safety – Role of Drapes and Disposables in Cardiac Catheterization

During cardiac catheterization, maintaining a sterile field is vital to prevent infection at the
catheter entry site. Nivda Angiography Drapes are designed with fenestrated openings,
fluid-collection zones, and adhesive borders to isolate the insertion area and control fluids.
Sterile surgical gowns, gloves, masks, and caps protect both patient and medical staff
throughout the procedure. Back table covers and instrument wrapping sheets keep all tools
sterile and well-organized. Absorbent floor mats manage fluid spills, ensuring a clean and
safe work environment. Using Nivda hospital disposables ensures that every step — from
catheter insertion to closure — is conducted under complete sterility and comfort.
