Pelvic surgery drape

1. A medical device comprising:

a sheet of flexible material having an aperture of a predetermined size through which a body orifice may be accessed with a probe; wherein genitalia comprise the body orifice;

an adhesive backing operably disposed on said sheet, proximate said aperture, wherein the adhesive backing secures the sheet, proximate said aperture, to an area surrounding the genitalia; and,

a finger cot disposed on said sheet,

wherein said finger cot is sized to enable access to a second body orifice with the probe, and

wherein said finger cot provides a barrier between said probe and said second body orifice, and,

wherein said finger cot is constructed of a second material which is more flexible than said flexible material.

2. A method of conducting a digital vaginal and digital rectal examination on a patient comprising:

placing a drape over a pelvic region of the patient, the drape including a vaginal aperture, a finger cot, and an adhesive backing;

positioning said drape such that said vaginal aperture is aligned with the patient's vagina;

examining the patient's vagina by placing a probe in the patient's vagina;

removing the probe from the vagina;

placing the probe in said finger cot;

placing the probe, covered by said finger cot, in the patient's rectum; and

examining the patient's rectum with said probe.

3. A method of examining the pelvic region of a patient comprising:

draping a sheet of material over said pelvic region of said patient;

inserting a probe into a vagina of said patient through an aperture in said sheet; and

inserting said probe into a rectum of said patient through a second aperture in said sheet; and,

providing a barrier between said probe and said rectum prior to inserting said probe into said rectum.

4. A method as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said second aperture is a finger cot.

5. A method as set forth in claim 4 , wherein said barrier is a membrane which substantially forms said finger cot.

6. A method as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said probe is not cleansed between the act of inserting in the vagina and the act of inserting in the rectum.

7. A method as set forth in claim 3 , further including collecting fluid from said patient in said sheet of material.

8. A method as set forth in claim 7 , further including discerning a volumetric quantity of fluid in said sheet of material from visual indicators on said sheet of material.

9. A method of examining the pelvic region of a patient comprising:

providing a layer of protection between said pelvic region of said patient and an examining clinician;

examining a first body orifice in said pelvic region through said layer of protection with a probe free from any barrier between said probe and said first body orifice; and,

examining a second body orifice in said pelvic region with a probe having a barrier between said probe and said second body orifice.

10. A method asset forth in claim 9 , wherein said barrier is dispose on said layer of protection.

11. A method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said first body orifice is a patient's vagina.

12. A method as set forth in claim 11 , wherein said second body orifice is a patient's rectum.

13. A method as set forth in claim 12 , wherein said barrier is a finger cot.

14. A method as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said probe is not cleansed between said examination of said first body orifice and examination of said second body orifice.

15. A medical device comprising:

a sheet of flexible material having an aperture of a predetermined size through which a body orifice may be accessed with a probe;

an adhesive backing operably disposed on said sheet, proximate said aperture; and,

a finger cot disposed on said sheet,

wherein said finger cot is sized to enable access to a second body orifice with the probe and,

wherein said finger cot provides a'barrier between said probe and said second body orifice, and,

wherein said finger cot is constructed of a second material which is more flexible than said flexible material.
