ABSTRACT:
A disposable surgical drape (10). It includes a tubular-shaped protective film (14) with a pull-tab (24) which lends itself to remote removal from an adhesive layer (20) on the protective film (14) so that the drape can be secured to a patient (22) without contamination of the incision area. An embodiment of the drape (10) comprises a protective film (14) which, when circumferentially spaced portions thereof are bonded together by, for example, a heat seal (15), defines a channel (16) which can function as a fluid conduit to remove bodily fluids from the surgical incision area.
