ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape is described which includes a pouch having one embodiment a one-piece construction and formed with a single seam. An edge of the pouch may be extended to create a concave surface to control and contain fluids during a surgical procedure. Once formed or shaped into the pouch and the edge sealed, the sheet has a front portion, a back portion, an upper back edge in the back portion for placement relatively near the surgical site, and an upper front edge on the front portion, which in the final configuration, is located away from the upper back edge. The upper back edge and the upper front edge together define the opening in the pouch having a circumference. Additionally, the length of the upper front edge is preferably greater than the length of the upper back edge.
