Abstract
The tubular surgical drape is adapted to cover a patient extremity and includes a pull sleeve concentrically rolled with a tubular stockinette to form a doughnut-shaped roll. The pull sleeve surrounds the outer wall of the doughnut-shaped roll and applies an unrolling force in a uniform manner completely around the rolled stockinette so as to provide for rapid and uniform application of the tubular stockinette to the patient extremity. Rupturable means, in the form of one or more tear lines, is provided along the length of the pull sleeve to provide for easy separation while the pull sleeve is being drawn along the patient extremity to unroll and apply the stockinette thereto.
