Abstract
A surgical drape having an attachable fluid control pouch and geometric alignment feature are described. The surgical drape may be fenestrated and include a base drape panel, an absorbent intermediate panel, and a mounting panel. The mounting panel may have a fluid impervious top surface that forms a higher quality adhesive seal with the adhesive attachment areas of the fluid control pouch. The surgical drape panels may be joined together by a continuous fluid impervious seal surrounding the fenestration. The fluid control pouch attachment edge may include a geometric structure that aligns with a corresponding geometric structure of the fenestration such that the fluid control pouch can be effectively positioned regardless of its rotational orientation relative to the surgical drape.
