ABSTRACT:
A surgical pack which is prefolded and packaged with the drape cover material necessary to create a sterile operating area for neurosurgery. The neurosurgical drape pack contains the normal table cover sheet, split sheet, craniotomy incise sheet and may include an absorbent drape all assembled, sterilized, and sealed. This package can be placed on the neurosurgery operating table where it is then opened and unfolded to specific edges of the table in preparation for the patient. Once the table is over the patient, the split sheet and craniotomy incise sheet can be positioned on the surgical incision area on the patient in only a few minutes. The drape pack provides for rapid preparation of the operating room environment and the patient thus saving many minutes of time that the patient must be anesthetized and operating personnel must wait to begin the operation. In a simple version of the drape pack only three of four drapes are packaged for easy placement and drape of the surgical site. In the more complex drape pack the bovie and bipolar connections and devices can be prepackaged as well as the suction tubes and heads can be prepackaged using channels and pockets in a manner which prevents their falling off the table. The craniotomy incise sheet can be fit with pockets to hold the surgical devices and suction tips.
