ABSTRACT:
A perineal surgical apron (10) for use in obstetrics and surgical procedures which apron comprises a fluid impermeable drape (11) having adhesive strips (15) and (15') at distal ends, and ties (17) for attaching the drape to a covering over a patient and to garb worn by the doctor and thereby defining a surgical surface between the doctor and the patient. An absorbent pad (24) centrally attached to the drape absorbs fluid from the surgical instruments used during surgical procedures. Side pockets (20) on the drape capture surgical instruments which are dropped or fall from the grasp of the doctor. Additional pockets (26) and (28) attached to the drape hold instruments for use during surgical procedures.
