Cesarean Section (C-section) Introduction

A cesarean section is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus. It may be planned in advance or done as an emergency during labor. There are different types, including low-transverse C-sections, repeat procedures, and cesarean hysterectomies when the uterus is also removed.

Birth Under Protection: How Drapes and Disposables Support C-Section Surgeries

C-section surgery exposes internal organs and the uterus, making a sterile field absolutely essential to prevent infections in both mother and child. Nivda C-Section Drapes are designed with fluid-collection pouches, umbilical cord access windows, and transparent viewing areas, all while covering the mother’s lower body securely. These drapes create a clean surgical field while allowing access for anesthesia and neonatal care. Sterile surgical gowns, gloves, face masks, and disposable shoe covers protect the surgical team from body fluids while reducing contamination risk. Additional disposables like absorbent floor mats, baby receiving drapes, and sterile back table covers help maintain efficiency and cleanliness. In both routine and emergency C-sections, these products are critical to safe and smooth delivery.
