Fenestrated drape

Abstract

A folded drape comprising, a sheet of flexible material including a first surface for contacting the body of a patient after placement of the drape, and an opposed second surface. The sheet has first and second spaced lateral fold lines defining a central panel having a fenestration located adjacent a lateral central portion thereof, and a third lateral fold line located intermediate the central panel and one end edge of the sheet, with the third fold line defining an end panel intermediate the one end edge and the third fold line, and with the first fold line being located intermediate the second and third fold lines. The sheet has a connecting panel intermediate the first and third fold lines, with the connecting panel being folded into a configuration overlying the first surface and a first end portion of the central panel, with the third fold line being spaced from the second fold line and the first surface of a second end portion of the central panel being exposed intermediate the second and third fold lines, and with the fenestration being located in the second end portion and the first surface of the end panel being exposed in the folded configuration. The drape has a pair of first adhesive zones located on opposed sides of and adjacent the fenestration in the second end portion, with the first adhesive zones facing outwardly from the first surface. The drape has a pair of second adhesive zones on the end panel adjacent opposed side edges of the sheet, with the second adhesive zones facing outwardly from the first surface. The drape also has pairs of first and second release sheets respectively covering and releasably attached to the first and second adhesive zones.
