ABSTRACT:
A sterile surgical drape for use with a system for thermally treating sterile medium is accomplished by a drape including indicia symbolically directing placement of the drape over the system. The system may include a single or plurality of basins for thermally cooling and/or heating the sterile medium. The drape includes various indicia indicating which portions of the drape are placed over the corresponding portions of the thermal treatment system. The indicia may include symbols indicating the center of the basins, the direction to unfold the drape after removing the drape from its package, the proper orientation of the drape when placed on the system, and alignment of the drape on the system such that the drape overhangs the top surface of the system for a sufficient length to reduce the risk of contamination to the sterile medium. The indicia assist the operator in properly aligning and placing the drape over the system to ensure sterility.
