This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left lower extremity, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0YPBX0Z

UNSPSC 85782821 Removal of drainage device from left lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve the specific procedure named—removal of an external drainage device from a lower extremity—but instead reflect broader health-care and occupational medical services sourcing by state and local bodies, including occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, and surgical procedure networks. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or in error to these opportunities, as none align with the orthopedic or wound-care surgical procedure the code describes.

State and local issuers posting under this code in recent months include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence networks), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being sourced, this code does not represent a reliable procurement signal for vendors seeking opportunities in drainage-device removal or related orthopedic procedures at the state and local level.
