HOW TO USE
1. Open the pouch and remove the sleeve.
2. Place the PrepSleeve high on the patient’s limb. Tighten the strap to secure the proximal end of the sleeve.
3. Pour 100-150 cc of the disinfectant liquid of your choice into the sleeve (Warning - verify any patient allergy or hypersensitivity to the liquid before using).
4. Rub manually for 2-4 minutes to spread the liquid over the entire limb (may repeat as needed). For effective scrubbing, verify that the liquid completely coats the skin, including between the toes/fingers.
5. PrepSleeve can stay on the limb for the entire duration of the scrubbing procedure, according to the instructions of the disinfectant’s manufacturer.
6. When ready, drain the liquid to the distal compartment of the sleeve and tighten the distal strap.
7. Once in the OR, cut the sleeve open longitudinally. Lift the limb by grabbing the toes/fingers with a sterile towel; remove and discard the sleeve, and proceed with the draping. If desired, use a sterile towel to dry the limb.
