Role And Functions of An Angiography Drape
Arteries play a critical role in providing blood throughout the entire human body, but sometimes conditions can affect the efficiency of the blood vessels. Millions of surgeries related to the cardiovascular system [1] and arteries are performed each year. During these procedures, medical facilities need to ensure they have the right equipment on hand - and this includes an angiography drape. An angio pack provides adequate coverage over the patient’s body with easy access to the surgical site.
An angiography drape is a type of surgical consumable or disposable item that goes over the patient’s body. The use of an angiography drape helps to isolate a specific area [2] where the surgeon will work, often featuring a reinforced structure at the site to offer easy access.
Benefits of An Angiography Drape
Apart from providing access to the site, a sterile drape can also be a highly effective option to prevent body fluids from leaking from the area that the surgeon works on. This ensures blood and other fluids will not flow to other parts of the body, which could potentially cause a risk for the spreading of microorganisms.
Cleaning up following the surgical procedure is also significantly easier when an angiography drape is used, thus boosting efficiency.
Different types of angiography drape options exist, each featuring specific measurements and cut-outs. This ensures surgeons are able to use a specific angiography drape that is suitable for the type of surgical procedure that they will perform. The cut-outs on these drapes are tailored toward the specific areas that the surgeon needs to work on, which is highly dependent on the type of angiography surgery that they are required to perform.

It also makes it easier to work in a sterile environment and to prevent contact with untreated equipment and tools.
