Abstract
A surgical drape and head stabilizer device includes a surgical drape and a strap made or assembled as part of the surgical drape to be secured laterally around the head of a patient lying in a supine position on an operating table and around the operating table to hold the patient's head in a stabilized, non-moving position during eye surgery. The drape or strap carries a fixation surface to be disposed along the patient's forehead for fixating a superior rectus bridle suture with controlled tension to optimally position the eye for surgery while allowing the tension and fixation site for the superior rectus bridle suture to be adjusted during surgery to reposition the eye. A surgical drape and drainage device includes a surgical drape, a fluid collection bag on the surgical drape, a drain for communicating with the eye and the fluid collection bag to drain excess fluid from the eye into the fluid collection bag and a drain holder on the drape for releasably securing the drain.
