ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape is disclosed which is adapted for protectively covering a limb of a patient during arthroscopic surgery, and while placing the limb in traction. The drape comprises a tubular sleeve, a pair of elongate traction strips mounted on the inside of the sleeve, and strap means overlying the outside of the sleeve and having opposite ends attached through the sleeve to respective ones of the traction strips. Also, a wrap is provided for encircling the sleeve when the sleeve is mounted on the limb of patient to circumferentially bind the tubular sleeve upon the limb. When the tubular sleeve is thus mounted upon the limb, a traction force may be applied to the strap, which results in the force being applied to the limb along the elongate contact area between the traction strips and the limb, and such that the force is distributed over a broad area so as to avoid injury to the limb. A method of fabricating the sleeve is also disclosed.
