ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape composed of a main sheet of sheet material adapted for use by a patient in the lithotomy position. The surgical drape is fabricated from a main sheet of sheet material which is constructed of sufficient softness and is sufficiently inexpensive to be disposable. The main sheet is formed of a torso section and a bottom section which are interconnected by a pair of side sections. Each side is formed into an enclosed area so as to function as a legging for the patient. The main sheet includes a fenestration centrally located therein with a fenestration strengthening material located entirely about said fenestration. The fenestration strengthening material is to resist tearing and cutting. A layer of non-liquid absorbing protective material is attached to the fenestration strengthening material. A collection container in the form of a flexible walled bag is located adjacent the bottom section. The collection material is adapted to collect blood and solids which are discharged during the medical procedure. A volumetric measuring indicia is carried in the exterior wall of the bag to facilitate the ascertaining of the approximate loss of blood by the patient. In another construction, a second container is provided for collection of fecal matter and a multiplicity of slots, pockets and holders are employed for yieldably retaining a variety of medical implements and supplies.
