PCNL DRAPE ECO E913

About

A PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) Drape, such as the ECO E913 model, is a specialized sterile surgical drape designed for use during percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures. PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical technique employed to remove large or complex kidney stones. The drape provides a robust sterile barrier around the surgical site, effectively preventing contamination and maintaining an aseptic field throughout the entire duration of the procedure. Its design often includes specific fenestrations, integrated fluid collection pouches, and secure adhesive strips tailored precisely to the anatomical and procedural requirements of PCNL, ensuring optimal surgical access, efficient fluid management, and enhanced infection control. The "ECO" designation might imply an economical or environmentally conscious design, while "E913" is likely a specific product code for identification.

Uses

• Maintaining a sterile field during PCNL.
• Preventing surgical site contamination.
• Fluid management during surgery.
• Ensuring aseptic conditions for kidney stone removal.
