Surgical Drape

Key Features Sterile barrier: Helps isolate the prepared surgical site from surrounding areas and potential contaminants. Fluid-resistant: Many disposable drapes use materials designed to resist penetration by blood and other fluids. Absorbent zones: Reinforced models may incorporate absorbent material around the operative area to help manage fluids. Low-lint construction: Nonwoven materials can help reduce lint and airborne particulate contamination. Fenestrated or plain: Available either as a complete sheet or with a pre-cut opening exposing the operative site. Adhesive options: Some fenestrated drapes incorporate adhesive around the opening to secure the drape close to the surgical site. Disposable options: Single-use sterile drapes are widely available and eliminate the need for laundering and reprocessing. Procedure-specific designs: Specialized drapes are available for general surgery, C-section, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, urology, cardiovascular surgery, laparotomy and other procedures. Blue or green: Common colours help provide contrast in the operating environment.
