ABSTRACT:
A tabbed surgical towel includes a double-backed adhesive layer, a release layer attached thereto and a pair of tabs located between the release layer and the adhesive layer and situated at opposite extreme edges of the towel. The release layer and the double-backed adhesive layer preferably comprise elongated strips of material which extend across the width of the rectangular towel. Each tab is substantially as wide as the release layer and the adhesive layer and does not extend beyond either layer such that the tab is substantially hidden by the release layer when the release layer is pressed against the adhesive layer at both ends thereof. Generally the tab is considerably shorter than the adhesive release layer and would be approximately 3/4 inch in length according to the preferred embodiment. It has been found that a tab having approximately the same dimensions as the release and the adhesive layers allows the user of the towel to readily obtain a purchase on the release layer without inadvertently pulling up a portion of the underlying adhesive layer.
