ABSTRACT:
A surgical drape comprising, a main sheet of flexible material having an inner surface for facing a patient after placement of the drape, an outer surface for facing away from the patient after placement of the drape, and a fenestration. The drape has a pocket comprising a secondary sheet of flexible material having a pair of end edges, a pair of side edges connecting the end edges, a first surface, and an opposing second surface. The secondary sheet has a first fold line extending between the end edges at a location between the side edges and defining a pair of first and second panels extending between the first fold line and the side edges. The first surface of the first and second panels face each other in the folded sheet. The first and second panels have second and third fold lines defining a pair of opposed first and second flaps and a central portion extending between the flaps. The second and third fold lines extend from the juncture of the end and side edges to the first fold line at a location spaced from the end edges. The flaps are folded against the first panel. The central portion defines a cavity communicating with an opening defined by the side edges. The flaps are secured to the central portion, and the pocket is secured to the main sheet with the opening facing toward the expected path of fluid run-off from the fenestration.
