Introducing a New Technique for Limb Prepping in Orthopedic Surgeries: Designing, Construction, and Evaluation of Limb-Lifting Assistive Device.

Lifting and holding patients' limbs while preparing the skin for orthopedic surgeries may be a lengthy process causing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) for preoperative team members.
