ABSTRACT:
Surgical drapes for isolating the knee or other portion of a limb of a patient in surgery wherein the drape comprises a sheet having two fenestrations in elastomeric material to receive the limb of the patient. These fenestrations are located on the drape so that they normally lie in a generally common plane when the drape is placed on a flat surface. Due to the location of the fenestrations, the drape itself has a low profile with respect to the operative site and readily adapts to different limb positions that may be encountered during surgery. This advantage is particularly important in drapes comprising a fluid collection pouch.
