Direction for use of kit for Episiotomy procedure at childbirth
Preperation: Direction for use: 1. Open the kit, remove the sterile field, & spread over the patient's abdomen or over any other working area with the polybacked surface facing downwards and the absorbent paper surface upwards. It is preferable to secure the sterile field with the elastic plasters to prevent slipping. Use of elastic plaster strips: Gently stretch the plaster lengthways, by using both hands, until the separation is visible at center cut - then easily remove the silicone paper. 2. Hold the tray on its under surface, & empty its contents onto the sterile field, taking care to prevent contact of the edge of the tray with the sterile field. Set the tray aside within easy reach, for use as a container for antiseptic solution during suturing. 3. Fit the disposable leg-sleeves onto the thighs of the patient, securing them with plasters. 4. Spread additional sterile field under the buttocks of the patient, with polybacking facing downwards, - absorbent surface in contact with the patient's body. 5.
