Abstract

A surgical drape system is provided including a drape component and a pouch component. The drape component has a main sheet portion and may have a fenestration for providing access to an operative site on a patient. The pouch component may be created from a rear panel and a front panel superimposed and partially sealed one to the other to provide a pouch having an open top and partially open sides. The rear panel is attached to the drape in proximity to the fenestration and holds the pouch in place on the drape. A number of spaced apart fasteners are disposed upon at least one of the panels proximate to the open top. The fasteners are for fastening sections of the front and rear panel to one another thus establishing alternating fastened and unfastened regions in the open top.

Claims (31)

1. A surgical drape system comprising:

a drape having a main sheet portion for covering at least a substantial portion of a patient, the drape having a fenestration for providing access to an operative site;

a rear panel and a front panel superimposed one over the other and sealed to one another along a bottom edge and partially up opposing side edges so as to form a pouch having an open top and partially open sides, the rear panel attached to the drape in proximity to the fenestration;

a plurality of spaced apart fasteners disposed upon at least one of the panels proximate to the open top for fastening sections of the front and rear panel to one another thus establishing alternating fastened and unfastened regions in the open top.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of at least one of the panels is clear.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the fasteners comprise hook and loop type fasteners.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the fasteners comprise snap type fasteners.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the fasteners comprise lengths of adhesive material.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the adhesive material comprises adhesive tape.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the pouch is capable of retaining liquids.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the rear panel comprises an adhesive for attaching the pouch to the drape.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the adhesive comprises adhesive tape.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the pouch is adjustably attached to the drape.

11. A surgical drape system comprising:

a drape having a main sheet portion for covering at least a substantial portion of a patient, the drape having a fenestration for providing access to an operative site;

a tubing caddy attached to the drape in proximity to the fenestration having a plurality of spaced apart fasteners disposed thereon for interweaving and holding medical lines and tubes, the caddy further comprising overlapping panels sealed to one another along a bottom edge and partially up opposing side edges.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein at least a portion of at least one of the panels is clear.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the fasteners comprise hook and loop type fasteners.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the fasteners comprise snap type fasteners.
