Understanding Nephrostomy Procedures

Nephrostomy tube placement is a procedure in which a small tube is inserted through the skin into the kidney to drain urine. It is typically done when the urinary tract is blocked or to relieve pressure caused by obstruction. The procedure helps protect kidney function and prevent infection.

Maintaining Sterility – Role of Drapes and Disposables in Nephrostomy Placement

Sterility is crucial during nephrostomy tube placement to avoid infections and ensure patient safety. Nivda Urology Drapes and specialized nephrostomy drapes provide fenestrated openings for precise tube insertion, fluid-collection pouches, and adhesive borders to stabilize the surgical site. Sterile surgical gowns, gloves, masks, and shoe covers protect both the patient and surgical team. Back table covers, instrument wrapping sheets, and absorbent floor mats maintain a clean environment and organize instruments efficiently. Catheterization drapes help manage urine drainage and minimize contamination. These disposables collectively maintain a safe and sterile workspace throughout the procedure.
