ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a surgical drape for use during a medical procedure on a shoulder of a patient when the patient is in the so called "beach chair" or Fowlers position. The surgical drape is a one-piece design and has a base panel defining a fenestration which is sealable around the patient's shoulder. Opposing right and left panels extend from the base panel away from the fenestration and a slit extends from a peripheral edge of the drape to the fenestration between the right and left panels. Right and left flaps extend from the right and left panels and overlap each other and cover the slit. A fluid control pouch surrounds at least part of the fenestration. The surgical drape can be used on either the right or left shoulder of the patient and covers the entire patient. The present invention also pertains to a method of draping a patient with the surgical drape.
