Limb prep is one of my pet peeves in the OR.  One of the reasons is that if I'm having a limb prepped out, it's not rare that I'm doing a vascular procedure, and this is a type of procedure for which operative infection can be disasterous.  There exist several types of limb support devices that look like dennis the menace's sling shot, only about 2 feet taller.  We call them "limb props."  The problem with these is that they're not sterile, so there is no less work to do if you use them.  You still have to prep the limb, lay a sterile field, and then place the limb onto the sterile field.  Nurses who use the limb prop have the fantasy that they can put the ankle on the prop and then turn around to grab something with both hands, like a sterile sheet.  This typically results in the back of the thigh touching the bed.  I don't accept this.\n\nIn my OR, a limb prep requires two people, the circulator and the scrub tech who is already scrubbed in.  The circulator FIRST does a PERFECT job of mechanically cleaning the limb.  NO SKIN FLAKES or CRUD remains.  Then they put on sterile gloves and begin at the digits.  Once the digits are sterile, they can be used to lift the rest of the limb and do a complete circumfrential prep.  The scrub slides a half sheet under the limb, and then we drape with split sheets.  I have the whole limb prepped circumfrentially every time, even if the surgical site is small.  If we have to roll the limb around, I don't want to EVER see unprepped skin.

Legs so they can't escape or just above the elbow since the bone would keep them on (they'd have to be modified since they wouldn't reach otherwise)

it's probably not a bad idea to stock up on the following: flashlight, battery powered radio (and batteries), non-perishable food (i.e. canned food and juices), non-electric can opener, bottled water, medications (both non-prescription and prescription if taking any regularly), first aid kit, paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils, toothbrushes, toothpaste, comb, brush, contact lens supplies, and feminine hygiene supplies, plastic garbage bags and ties, change of clothes and shoes, and an extra pair of prescription glasses if needed.<br />\nthe red cross offers a checklist for an emergency kit, the link is below.

A pillow, a blanket, hygiene stuff, and some pajamas. Otherwise, just ask the host family what you should bring :)

It probably depends a lot on where you are.\n\nI don't know any organizations, but our rep for a national orthotics company (Hanger) gave us local info.\n\nI'd start by finding the closest Hanger office (or another prosthetics firm) and asking them.

Please don't tell me you're in the O.R. and you need a tip to perform major surgery!  It must be an HMO.\n\nGood luck finding a clue.

get one of those little plastic things they put in pizza boxes so they don't get crushed... they make an excellent inchworm picnic table.  a thimble for a toilet.  a corn chex (chek?) for a mattress... you're all set to go. :)

Equipment would be something along the lines of a blackboard, a projector, a pointer. Teaching materials refers to things like lesson plans, handouts, and books.

Go to Lowe's and get a couple of those organizers for hardware, etc. The ones with like 20 little drawers or so. Get a label gun, and voila! That's what a lot of dentists do.

A cable drill bit and a snake should be enough.\n\nGood Luck
