A lithotomy surgical pack is a sterile, disposable kit designed for procedures performed with the patient in the lithotomy position, which involves lying on their back with legs raised and supported by stirrups. These packs contain various drapes and components to maintain a sterile field and facilitate access to the pelvic and perineal areas during surgery or examinations.
