ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a drape for covering an overhead table. The drape includes a doubled flap connected to the underside of each of a first pair of juxtaposed stacks of panels made by folds around parallel fold lines, in turn shortened transversely from each end to form a second pair of stacks of panels. The folded drape is positioned adjacent a reference edge of the table to be draped, and transversely unfolded so that the fold lines of each stack of the first pair of stacks are parallel to the table edge. The reference edge is covered, preparatory to positioning of the table, by the doubled flap which is folded atop one of first pair of stacks. The edges other than the reference edge can then be draped by unfolding one of the stacks of panels to cover them. The flap is held in position hanging over the reference edge of the table by the weight of the unfolded stack of panels above the flap and by the rest of the drape. The table can then be positioned over the patient and the stack of panels which retains the flap in position, and thus the flap as well, pulled down onto the patient.
