8. The drape of claim 7 , wherein the at least one edge of the back side of the at least one flap includes a first edge and a different second edge, and the adhesive tape is positioned on the first edge and includes a first length, wherein the adhesive tape is positioned on the second edge and includes a second length, and wherein the first length is greater than the second length.
9. The drape of claim 8 , wherein,
the adhesive tape positioned on the first edge is configured to fold back on itself to form a barrier on the drape.
10. The drape of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first opening corresponding to an incision site on the proximal end of the drape, the first opening positioned between a first sleeve and a different second sleeve.
11. The drape of claim 10 , wherein,
the at least one flap is positioned between the at least one sleeve and the first opening, and
the at least one flap is configured to obstruct the at least one sleeve from the first opening.
12. The drape of claim 1 , wherein,
the at least one flap includes a first flap and a different second flap, wherein the first flap is spaced apart from the second flap on the top surface of the drape,
the at least one sleeve includes a first sleeve and a different second sleeve, wherein the first sleeve is spaced apart from the second sleeve on the top surface of the drape, and
the first flap is positioned adjacent to the first sleeve and the second flap is positioned adjacent to the second sleeve.
13. The drape of claim 12 , wherein,
the first flap includes a first height and the first sleeve includes a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height, and
the second flap includes a third height and the second sleeve includes a fourth height, wherein the third height is greater than the fourth height.
14. The drape of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sleeve includes at least one projection extending from a base of the at least one sleeve to a first free end, wherein the first free end is configured to be engaged by the second user for maneuvering the at least one sleeve over a second device.
15. The drape of claim 1 , wherein,
the at least one sleeve includes a first sleeve and a different second sleeve, the first sleeve spaced apart from the second sleeve on the top surface of the drape, and
the first sleeve includes a first opening that extends from the bottom surface of the drape to a first interior of the first sleeve,
the second sleeve includes a second opening that extends from the bottom surface of the drape to a second interior of the second sleeve, and
the first sleeve is configured to be placed on a second device, and the second sleeve is configured to be placed on a third device.
16. The drape of claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the drape includes at least one marking, wherein the at least one marking is configured to identify a position of the first user relative to the drape, the at least one marking positioned by the proximal end of the drape.
17. The drape of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a femoral support hook.
18. The drape of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first opening corresponding to an incision site, the first opening being in a U-shape configuration.
19. A method of packaging a drape, comprising:
folding the drape, the drape including:
a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, the bottom surface configured to contact a first user being a patient, the top surface of the drape configured to engage with a second user being a physician or technician, the top surface and the bottom surface extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the drape;
at least one sleeve extending perpendicularly away from the top surface of the drape, the at least one sleeve including an opening extending from the bottom surface of the drape to an interior of the at least one sleeve;
