The sheet portion is of a nonwoven material and the transparent side portion may be connected to each of the first and second side edges of the sheet portion by bonded seams. The sheet portion may include a reinforced portion and a fenestration located in the reinforced portion, as well as a fluid collecting pocket located along at least one side of the fenestration or reinforced portion. The sheet portion may also be T-shaped, depending upon the shape of the surgical table. A corresponding method of forming the drape is also disclosed.
