General Orthopedic Pack, A29181 – Cardinal Health

The Cardinal Health General Orthopedic Pack (A29181) is a sterile, single-use surgical standard pack designed to support routine orthopedic procedures by providing a consolidated set of draping and perioperative supplies in one procedure-ready configuration. By standardizing key items used in the sterile field, this orthopedic pack helps streamline room setup, reduce supply gathering time, and support consistent technique from case to case. It is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in operating room environments where aseptic practice and controlled sterility are required.

This pack is commonly selected for general orthopedic cases where efficient patient draping and fluid management are important. Consolidating supplies into a single reference item can help facilities simplify picking, reduce the number of individual SKUs pulled for a case, and support workflow consistency across shifts and teams. Because clinical preferences and case requirements can vary, the exact contents and configuration should be verified against the product’s current components list and instructions for use provided by Cardinal Health and your facility’s purchasing documentation.

Design and performance considerations

The General Orthopedic Pack is organized to facilitate orderly opening and presentation to the sterile field. Typical surgical pack construction emphasizes intuitive sequencing, reduced risk of contamination during opening, and materials selected for durability and barrier performance during patient draping. In orthopedic settings, where instrumentation, irrigation, and fluid exposure may be more pronounced, pack components are generally chosen to help maintain a clean, managed field while supporting access to the operative site.

• Category: Surgical standard packs for orthopedic procedures
• Format: Procedure pack assembled for operating room setup and sterile field preparation
• Use environment: Hospital and ambulatory surgery settings following aseptic technique
• Utilization: Supports draping, field organization, and perioperative workflow standardization

Operational benefits

Using a standardized orthopedic pack can help reduce variability in preparation steps and support predictable room turnover. Centralized packaging can also help facilities with inventory control by bundling commonly needed items into one ordered product. This approach may decrease the chance of missing essential supplies during setup and can support efficiency initiatives when paired with facility-specific preference cards.

• Helps streamline case setup and reduce time spent gathering supplies
• Supports consistent presentation and organization of sterile items
• May aid inventory management by consolidating multiple items into a single pack
• Single-use design supports infection prevention practices when used as directed

Handling, storage, and disposal

Inspect packaging before use and do not use if the package is opened, damaged, wet, or compromised. Store according to facility policy and manufacturer recommendations, typically in a clean, dry area away from extreme temperatures and moisture. Open using sterile technique and dispose of used components in accordance with local regulations and facility procedures for contaminated medical waste.
