Orthopaedics is a medical speciality that focuses on diagnosing, correcting preventing, and treating patients with skeletal deformities bone, joint, muscle, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin disorders.

While traumatology is the study of wounds and injuries caused by accidents or violence to a person and the surgical therapy and repair of the damage.

Infections associated with orthopaedic procedures pose a serious and devastating risk for patients, surgeons and hospital institutions.

It could end up prolonging the hospitalization time of the patient by up to two weeks, doubling hospitalization rates, and raising care costs by more than 300%.

This is especially disastrous in orthopaedic surgery as it is difficult to rid the bone and joint of the infection.

Many preventable causes of contamination and infection have been identified and the occurrence could be minimized if appropriate measures were implemented.

Patients, surgeons and nurses, as well as the environment and instrumentation of the operating room, are the main areas of concern.

Various methods have been established to reduce the possibilities of infections in orthopaedic and traumatology surgery, such as the use of prophylactic antibiotics and surgical apparel.

Drapes and gowns used in Orthopaedics and Traumatology surgeries are either reusable or disposable.

Disposable orthopaedic and traumatology drapes and gowns are made from a non-woven fabric which is impervious to strikethrough and other contaminants.

Due to its single-use feature and reliable adhesion, it ensures maximum protection and safety to the patients undergoing the orthopaedic or traumatology procedure.

These drapes and gowns are made of superior strength to withstand any arduous procedure that may be required to be carried out during the surgery whilst at the same time retaining the element of comfort for both the patient and the surgical staff.

In light of the above analysis, disposable drapes and gowns have emerged as a positive step forward towards patient care in Orthopaedic and Traumatology.
