ABSTRACT:
A surgical retractor liner and integral drape assembly suitable for inserting in an incision and adjusting in place to prevent cross-contamination during surgery between the incise cavity and the surrounding skin of the patient. A flexible liner impervious to microorganisms has resilient inner and outer rings at either end for holding the liner firmly in the incision. A skirt sealingly joined at the outer ring tapers outwardly and sealingly joins to a drape around a central aperture therein. The inner ring is inserted and expanded against the inner edge of the incision, and the outer ring is rolled down over the liner and skirt to draw the liner taut in the incision and to retract the sides of the incision while positively anchoring the drape in place around the area of the incision.
