ABSTRACT:
A surgical cover or drape in the form of a loose fitting legging is disclosed which provides sterile coverage for the abdominal region as well as the legs while limiting undesirable excess material in the perineal area. The surgical cover or drape comprises a generally rectangular main body portion having first and second panels. These panels are secured to each other along their longitudinal edges and at one end to form a sleeve with an open end and a closed end. A cuff is secured to the first panel near the open end of the sleeve to assist the surgical team member fitting the legging over the patient's leg. The surgical cover or drape further comprises an abdominal cover flap secured along one edge to the second panel near the open end of the sleeve. The abdominal cover flap preferably has two generally parallel opposing edges of unequal length adjacent the edge secured to the panel and is so constructed and arranged as to provide substantial coverage for the abdominal area of the patient but with reduced material at the side of the patient and in the perineal area. Means are provided on the abdominal cover flap for securing it to the patient's abdomen or to the corresponding flap of the other legging.
