Preventing the instantly lethal zombie bite

A common thing we see in zombie movies in the ability to remove the infected area (usually the arm or leg) despite the fact that a blood borne illness would travel throughout the body. How could I design a zombie illness that would allow for removal of a limb to save the person?

For example, would a virus be better, or would a fungal infection allow for limb removal? Would blood borne biting work or would water borne infection be better? What zombie design would allow me to remove a limb to save the person?
