Limb Support Disposable Covers x 20
- Pack of 20 single-use disposable covers for the LOCO-302 Limb Support, providing infection control between patient uses by placing a fresh single-use cover over the cradle surface for each new patient, eliminating cross-infection risk from the shared reusable Limb Support surface under NHS Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs).
- Supports CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) infection control requirements for patient contact equipment, providing an auditable single-use barrier between the reusable Limb Support cradle and each patient's limb, wound, catheter or treatment site without requiring the Limb Support device itself to undergo decontamination between each use.
- Additional packs purchasable separately when the initial 20 covers included with the LOCO-302 Limb Support are exhausted, allowing care settings to restock disposable cover supply without replacing the Limb Support device, with pack-of-20 sizing suited to ward, care home and community consumable ordering cycles.
- Single-use clinical waste disposal after each patient use in accordance with local infection control policy, with the pack-of-20 format providing a defined consumable stock quantity for infection control budget holders to monitor usage rates and maintain adequate stock levels without overstocking perishable consumables.
Limb Support Disposable Covers: Pack of 20 Single-Use Infection Control Covers for LOCO-302
Limb Support Disposable Covers are single-use infection control covers for the LOCO-302 Limb Support, supplied in packs of 20 for restocking beyond the initial 20 covers included with each Limb Support device. Each cover is placed over the Limb Support cradle surface before a new patient use, providing a fresh single-use barrier between the reusable cradle and the patient's limb, wound or treatment site that eliminates the cross-infection risk from a shared surface contacting different patients' open wounds, catheters or high-risk contact zones during clinical treatment. Disposal in clinical waste after each patient use provides a clean, auditable infection control record for CQC and NHS trust inspection purposes.

Regulatory and Infection Control Compliance
NHS Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs) require that equipment that comes into direct contact with a patient's skin, wound or body fluid is either single-use or decontaminated between each patient with a validated process. The LOCO-302 Limb Support cradle surface contacts patients' limbs including open wounds, ulcers, post-operative sites and catheter access areas - all of which represent infection transmission risk surfaces. The disposable cover provides the single-use barrier that satisfies SICPs without requiring the Limb Support device to be replaced after each patient or decontaminated to a wound-contact standard between uses. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) inspection frameworks include evidence of appropriate infection control practices for patient contact equipment: maintaining an adequate supply of disposable covers and using a fresh cover per patient provides a straightforward, auditable compliance practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it acceptable to use the Limb Support without a disposable cover if covers are temporarily out of stock?
No. Using the LOCO-302 Limb Support without a disposable cover on the cradle surface for a patient whose wound, catheter or post-surgical site will contact the surface constitutes a cross-infection risk that is not compliant with NHS Standard Infection Control Precautions. If disposable covers are temporarily out of stock, the Limb Support should not be used on a patient with a high-risk contact site (open wound, surgical site, catheter) until covers are restocked, or the limb should be supported manually if the clinical situation requires immediate treatment. Maintaining a minimum stock buffer of at least one additional pack of covers beyond current needs prevents stockout from creating a compliance gap in clinical practice.
How are used Limb Support Disposable Covers disposed of in a clinical setting?
Used covers should be disposed of as clinical waste in the appropriate waste stream for the clinical setting - typically the yellow or orange bag clinical waste stream for single-use patient contact materials, or the infectious clinical waste stream if the cover has been in contact with a confirmed infection site or a patient with a notifiable organism such as MRSA or C.difficile. Follow local NHS trust or care home infection control policy for the specific waste stream applicable to used single-use patient handling covers in your clinical area, as waste stream classification varies between organisations based on local infection control risk assessment.
