SURGICAL DRAPE STERILE  WITH ADHESIVE

Sterile surgical drapes with adhesive are commonly used in the operating room to maintain a sterile field during surgical procedures. These drapes serve several important purposes:

1. Infection Control: Surgical drapes help prevent contamination of the surgical site by creating a barrier between the patient and the surrounding environment. The adhesive on the drape ensures that it sticks securely to the patient’s skin or drapes, maintaining sterility.
2. Isolation of the Surgical Site: The drapes are used to isolate and cover the specific area of the patient’s body where the surgical procedure will be performed. This limits the exposure of the surgical team to non-sterile surfaces and reduces the risk of surgical site infections.
3. Fluid Management: Surgical drapes are designed to effectively manage fluids such as blood, surgical irrigation, and other bodily fluids. They are typically absorbent and prevent fluids from spreading beyond the drape, helping keep the surgical field clear.
4. Adhesion and Draping: The adhesive feature of these drapes ensures that they stay in place during the procedure. This helps maintain a consistent sterile barrier, even during patient movement or changes in position.
5. Access and Visualization: Surgical drapes often have fenestrations or openings that are precisely placed to allow access to the surgical site while maintaining a sterile environment. These fenestrations are designed to be easily sealed around the edges to maintain sterility.
6. Comfort and Patient Care: The adhesive on the drape is designed to be gentle on the patient’s skin and minimize any discomfort during the procedure. It also helps in reducing the risk of skin damage.
7. Easy Removal: Sterile surgical drapes with adhesive are typically designed for easy and atraumatic removal at the end of the procedure. This minimizes the risk of contamination during drape removal.
8. Customization: Surgical drapes come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different surgical procedures and body areas. They can be customized to suit the specific requirements of the surgery.
9. Specialty Drapes: There are specialized surgical drapes with adhesive for particular procedures, such as cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic procedures, and obstetrics, which have unique features to cater to the demands of those surgeries.
