Abstract: Objective To discuss the development of the disinfection frame for lower limb and application of the frame. Methods The disinfection frame for lower limb was researched and developed. The patients in lower limb orthopedic surgery from July to December in 2009 were selected and divided randomly in two groups. The control group was 30 patients that the traditional bandage suspended disinfection was adopted, and the experimental group was 40 patients that the disinfection frame for lower limb was adopted. Disinfection effect, sterilization time, patient's comfort ability and medical compliance in two groups were compared. Results Infection pass rates were 100％ in the two groups. The differences are existed between two groups of sterilization time, quantitative pain comfort ability and labor intensity of lifting the patients' lower limb(t = 2. 163, X2 = 25.579,31.130;P ＜ 0. 05 or P ＜0. 01). Conclusions The human resource can be effectively saved by applying the disinfection frame in the surgical sterilization for lower limb, and the patient' s comfort ability is improved.
