In orthopedic surgery, especially hip procedures involving positional fracture tables and intraoperative fluoroscopy (C-arm use), maintaining a sterile field poses significant challenges. These procedures often require frequent repositioning of the C-arm, which introduces a high risk of contamination and workflow disruption due to traditional, multi-drape setups.¹

Clinical Challenges

• Sterility at Risk: Conventional draping methods often involve multiple sterile sheets clipped and unclipped throughout the procedure. This repetitive handling increases the risk of tears, micro-perforations, and airflow-related contamination.
• Workflow Disruptions: Constant drape adjustments can delay procedures, increase operating room traffic, and raise the potential for surgical site infections.
  Cost and Waste: Using 4–5 different drapes for a single case consumes both time and resources.¹
  

^{A Smarter Approach: Welmed’s All-in-One Fracture Table Hip Drape}

Born from real-world OR observation and collaboration with surgical teams, Welmed's patented All-in-One Fracture Table Hip Drape provides a streamlined, clinically validated solution that replaces multiple drapes with a single, comprehensive system.

Fracture Table Hip Drape

Key Features:

• One Draping Solution: Replaces the need for Vertical Isolation Drapes, Flat Drapes, and additional sterile barriers.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with a wide range of fracture surgical tables and manufacturers.
• Dimensions: 120” x 104” x 174” for generous coverage.
• Enhanced Fluid Control: Built-in 24” x 44” absorbent reinforcement zone helps prevent fluid strike-through.
• Secure Positioning: Features a 10” x 20” adhesive incise for drape stability and patient adherence.
• Optimized Visibility: Clear film allows for visualization of limb positioning and circulation—critical for pressure point management.
• Accessory-Ready: Integrated hook-and-loop tube holders for line management; compatible with attachable instrument and fluid collection pouches.

Add-On Accesories:

• Attachable Fluid Collection Pouch
  • 32” x 44” pouch with fluid exit port and malleable strips for secure placement.
  • Adhesive strips ensure firm connection to the primary drape.
• Attachable Instrument Pouch (Two Pockets)
• Designed for quick access to essential instruments.
• Features adhesive strips and clear material for visibility and organization.

Innovation Rooted in Listening

“In such a competitive space, it’s about truly understanding our customers,” says Jie Tan of Welmed. “When we observed surgeons using five separate drapes for one hip procedure, we knew there had to be a better way. Our All-in-One Drape was born from that insight—its clinical innovation based on real OR needs.”

Total Hip? Total Solution.

Welmed’s All-in-One Fracture Table Hip Drape not only improves sterility and workflow—it saves time, reduces cost, and raises the standard of care in orthopedic surgery.
