ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape has a main sheet for draping over a patient's torso, a pair of leg flaps for draping over the patient's legs, and a liquid impervious sheet which has an opening for providing access to the patient.
The leg flaps are connected to the main sheet and they extend laterally inwardly. Their forward and distal edges are movable so they may cover the legs of either a reclining patient whose knees are straight or a reclining patient whose knees are raised and bent in a lithotomy position.
The liquid impervious sheet has its forward end connected to the main sheet. It has a second opening which provides a second access to the patient and a drain opening which permits the drainage of liquid. Removable liquid impervious coverings are provided over the latter two openings. To prevent liquid from flowing over the sides of the impervious sheet, its margins are provided with adhesive areas which are used to form tucks in the sheet. The length of the impervious sheet is such that it may be attached to the torso of the physician by pressure sensitive tapes which are provided at the rear end of the sheet.
