ABSTRACT:
A drape for surgical procedures on a shoulder. The drape includes a flexible sheet of fluid impervious material intended to overlay a patient arranged in either a lateral position or a beach chair position. The sheet includes a shoulder accommodating fenestration, and the resilient construction of the sheet around the fenestration causes the sheet to generally conform to a patient's shoulder area after the patient's arm is inserted through the fenestration. A pair of fluid collection pouches are connected to the sheet in a fluid tight fashion on opposite sides of the fenestration, and are arranged such that fluids present at the shoulder during the surgical procedure flow by gravity into one or both of the fluid collection pouches. A method of draping a patient for shoulder surgery is also disclosed.
