ABSTRACT:
A support and drape apparatus which is attached to an operating room table for retaining fluid excess during surgery. The support is a framework of two lateral members and a transverse member attached to each lateral member such that a perimeter is formed in conjunction with the operating room table. A waterproof drape is placed on the framework such that a pocket retains the fluid. The drape may have a water permeable drain. The lateral members have a substantially rigid portion connected to a flexible portion and the transverse member is relatively flexible throughout its length, which allows the framework to give to allow movement by the surgeon without destroying the integrity of the pocket.
